until? Do you think a more serious/specific meltdown is emminent? I know your overall feelings about where we are as I read most of your tics, but since you did post that I thought I'd pry a little.

Got my attention!...Had it really since I read all the tickers, but I was in "when not if" mode without clue when (thought months to a year) how close "when" really was.

Karl...can you clarify the following...

...then, add to this, the lowering to Tickercon 2?

Just curious on your thought process here.

Thanks.

to go along with the rally today, it looks like even Genesis believes "everything is OK" now. I also guess this means that all the things that governments, central banks and banks in general "cannot continue"..... will be continued

I hope Karl will explain the ticker con move back to 2.


Since nothing is truly fixed and this rally was predicted I'm curious.

1: Locked-and-cocked. [...] This status will not be maintained for more than thirty days as extraordinary vigilance is required to do so.

my bolding & my guess as to why we are back at 2 today

Is this a question? "Locked and cocked: is the hammer down and safety on?"

The answer is: No, the hammer is not down, it is cocked back. Because that is how you carry a single action semi-auto.

Cocked and locked is safe and all, but I'd get involuntary jitters in my leg if I carried that way. Something about that hammer spring being under tension. One reason I chose a Glock 36 over the venerable 1911. So sue me.

it wasn't a question. hammer down is the same thing as being "cocked"

my post was a joke in regards to why any safety at all?

Jstanley- i agree. round in the chamber, and hammer cocked always gets me nervous.

Not around here. Cocked is "back", "down" is not cocked.

I don't carry 1911s, but cocked and locked is how you properly carry them. Hammer down can get your dick blown off.

Umm, you do know that if you have a round in the chamber on the Glock, that the striker is under tension -- just as if you had one in the chamber on a 1911 with the hammer back. Big difference is the 1911 has the additional safety that has to be manipulated, unlike the Glock...
BTW, I'm a big Glock fan, just wanted to make sure folks were aware that one in the pipe in a Glock is not necessarily safer than the 1911 carry we are talking about.

Now as far as the move back to 2 on the TickerCon. I'd have to agree that we have until the end of the month before things start locking up. By the end of July/beginning of August, I think "they" will realize we aren't going to get through the election without serious economic issues.

However, I would also like to hear Karl's input on the move.
