All right TV. I prefer to view the Intel betrayal in the mid 80s, rather than stagnation after a one-hit product, as the cause of AMD's decade and a half of toils. As to your cute little comment-- it is perhaps funny, but not really germane.

Xerox went public in 1961, and I don't know how their stock performed until 1971. But, they certainly haven't had a run in the 70s, 80s, or 90s, even if they did invent in guis and mice:
