Do you consider cementhead insulting? Of course not, it is a badge of honor, a monument to one's persistence, the mark of relentlessness, and conviction. [even if wrong] (Not to mention a little stubborn) <g> And coming from you, probably a caring term...

>>I have never insulted you or called you names You sure haven't. Do you consider cementhead insulting? I do! It means "dense" in the mind the way I perceive it.

>>>Do you consider cementhead insulting?<<< Cementhead: as in atamaconcret: Japanese, literally means head made of concrete, roughly translates into, "you stupid moron". Do you consider it insulting? I thought you learn the phrase from the nice Japanese businessman who bought your beach house during California's previous shortage-squeeze-induced momentum-investing real estate tulip-mania. Is it insulting? I'm sure many bears found it insulting. Some lost their lives' work shorting AMZN. One, James even had to come out of 6 years of retirement to work, only to be bombarded with such insults, day after day, night after night, especially from one who had profited so much during their misery. No one should have the right to insult others. But in this country, many found it acceptable, as long as they do the insulting. There are mindless pitbulls such as #reply-9932008 , who would jump out and bite every one in his way, and accuse, as jealousy, simple even-headed objection to delusional insults and name calling. It's reasonable to assume after losing over half of his account from his unwavering bullishness, the prophet would stop insulting others for their bearish views. But the prophet knows he has future truth and the market is wrong. Thus he always has the right to "cementhead" every one with dissenting views.
