Thank you to all of you that took the time to reply. A special thank you to GRAND PUBAH which has shown the most understanding of what I was trying to say. For some of out there I am not miserable, unhappy or mad, I am not looking at this like a half full or empty glass, I am not greedy either, nor I am making it a life mission looking at it as the problem solver for my family and relatives, however I did bought in NOT with the intention to be in it for years like some of you say (although is that really the truth or just the situation you find yourself in it like it or not) and at the time the words were that the RV was imminent. I also would like to "really" answer to LITTLEFEET but I will not, another ......... that feels compelled to judge me when he has no idea of absolutely nothing. It is unfortunate there are so many of them out there. For the record I am very happy man and it takes a lot more than this nonsense to effect the side of my life that really matter. This has very little impact in my life, but has become an annoyance, a nonsense that the more I am in it, the less I see a resolution appearing on the horizon and that aggravates more than anything. The constant feeding of BS and the shameful behave of the idiots in power over there is now pathetic. It is also pathetic the blind and obsessed desire to believe in something that so far has shown NO realistic chance to turn into anything worth waiting this long for. Everywhere I have $ invested I do keep an eye on. Not obsessively I must say and because is the right thing to do. So this gets it's share of attention (may be once a week, generally once every 2 weeks), and it is way worse that those few stocks I still have that are virtually worth nothing anymore because it is nothing but BS. You can look at the stock market as BS as well, but you have facts, history, statistics, trends, you name it ............. you can make an educated decision (well as educated as possible I guess) and see if you were right. What do you have with this other than blind believe and your own desire to become an overnight millionaire ? I have another question for you: what else (I mean investment) in life are you willing to be this patience and have so much faith in ? In my case this is the only one. As you see i did not judge anybody like so many of you feel compelled to do (sad isn't it !!! These days there is no longer any conversation taking place but judgement and criticism. The easy way since you do not have to actually have an argument to present). In my own case, I decided to start investing a little about 8 years ago on my own, with just the shared opinions of my wife, and it grew to the amount I have today. I am not expecting to be understood nor that others like my point of view. I guess 8 years of BS day in and day out has taken it's tall. That is all and I am simply curious to hear if there are people out there that can look at this the way I do versus just believe it will happen. Sure it will, may be, may be not, a week from now, year, yearS ............... may be never or we will all wake up monday morning much richer financially like all the monkeys have been saying for years (hey, I guess after thousand of false predictions they finally got it !!!). Finally answering some of you, in my mind a long term investment is one that has virtually no set date. Throughout my life, every time I had some extra cash I always bought gold. That is a long term investment for me. I like the fact that it is where it is today, for some that I have bought long time ago I indeed have made a very good return if I sell it. With the dinar is different. Every week, month there are nothing but false and misleading information. That is what I am fed up with. Like some of you say ..."I am in for the final results" ..... I agree and I guess ultimately that is what everybody hopes for. It is just that irking feeling of being taken for a foul that now has taken it's tall. Health and peace to all of you.

Thank you all for the replies. I fully expected for somebody to think I am pathetic (not even worth responding in my book), or wrong, or tired or about to sell my Dinars. None of that. I am simply tired to all the BS around it. I had hopes at times, more trust in something about to happen other times, and I too like the idea of having a great opportunity to amplify the range of things I can do, provide and offer to my family, to people in need, to animals, to elderly people. This is an investment but, in my case, also an act of giving. So the desire for this to happen is big. I admit. At first I did not pay much attention since I thought it could never happen. Then I started to look into it because I wanted to learn and see if indeed there was a chance it could. I saw that chance. At some point I actually said to myself ......"this my really happen"...... What I wasn't prepared for, simply because I wouldn't do it, is this pathetic phenomenon of the constant accumulation day after day of all these false information posted by those clowns. That is what has pushed me to the edge of now shutting things down. Do we want to call it an addiction or stress ? I can see that as a possibility, but for me personally was more of a battle between my best judgement (that said ..."it will be very hard for this to happen"...) and what I wanted to happen (that told me ...."is about to happen based on......".....) Of course I do not listen to the "usual suspects", but I do regard several people that has proven to be serious or at least have tried to their best. In any case, this is not a stressful thing for me, I am not about to sell my Dinars, I am not on the verge of a nervous brake down. I am simply fed up with the BS around it and I realized that I wasted too much time in this. That is all. The Dinars are safe in my vault, they can rest for as long as they need. To all, a wonderful 2011, full mostly of happiness, health and personal satisfactions. If we will be blessed with a bag of money we can take to the bank it will be even better, if not life will still be going forward and only we will be able to make the best out of it. Good night.

AAAAAnd another day full of hopes and so call "Intel" has come and gone. What is new. Absolutely nothing !!!!!! However I am happy, very happy. Tomorrow will be the absolute last day I will follow or check any sites, news or read any post that has any relevance in regard of an RV, RD, RT, TR, VID ......... whatever. I am DONE. I am almost 47 and I do not think I have ever experienced a more unsettling and disappointing single topic for this long in my life such as this. I believed, I gave my 2 cents here and there, I built an opinion and had my imaginary calendar where I had serious hopes for something to finally happen. I have been involved for years, I think 5 and I reached a level of disgust for all the speculations, false information, intel, gurus, non gurus, clowns, religious fanatics, friends of brothers of uncles that have relatives bla bla bla bla bla that is hard to describe with words. Only actions can give me enough peace of mind to finally detach myself from this cancer that in all honesty has plagued me and my family for way too long. Because weather I want to take it easy on it or not, I just can't. I have to know, I have to read the last BS, the last nonsense from somebody making stories up at great risks for their life .................. Poor me. Where did I allow myself to go to. And I thought I was a reasonably down to earth person. It is my personal opinion and I have nothing against the Iraqi people, but if it wasn't for the oil they are walking on "nobody" would even know where they are geographically. They would still be crossing their sandy land either pushing, sitting or pulling their camels. They would be like Bangladesh, one of the poorest of the poor countries in this world, that only make any type of news when a disaster occur. And guess what, nobody cares. These people have been fighting among each other for thousand of years and they still can't come to a civilized agreement. We, with our western world mentality, have been making predictions for their future to make a lot of money based on ................ oh hmmmm, "intel". What intel ???? This is the longest senseless "joke" I have ever seen and I simply can not laugh anymore. I am ready for the bashing, but it will not matter much because after this, I will probably shut the browser down and possibly take an early vacation. In any case I truly hope and wish for something to happen for all the people that believes in this opportunity. I hope we will have a lifetime chance to change things around and I hope it will allow so many people to regain stability in their life. Good luck to all of you, thank you for the ride. This is end my run.

Revelation, I guess you are just too smart for me !!!! On another note I was only expressing my opinion, I wasn't trying to get anybody riled up. As always smarties like you make something small into a big one for the satisfaction to say something, weather is smart or stupid. Learned my lesson, I am out and done with this chat. My apologies as well. I guess having an opinion in this country really means something else than what I though it did.

I have a business, so you are not teaching me anything that I do not know already. I also have competitors that regulate my approach to my prices. He has none and he is using that leverage to make the rules. I might be a foul but I do not see it your way.

Well now he is making almost 21% pure profit per US$ ............... If hat is not pure greed I sure do not know what it is.

I am not sure where the comments posted by CRGCONKEL come from. I haven't reported any personal opinion, I did not suggested to buy any Dinars, and I am NOT doubting the intelligence or sophistication of the people. We that believe in this opportunity have decided how much to invest or not. Where do I promote "emotional reactions" by posting an article stating facts ? It is irritating to be lectured just because some people think they know how things are and feel compelled to tell everybody what to do or not. I haven't told anybody what to do. Being Italian my mother language (I can translate the articles if anybody would like me to or you can use google translator that does a good job), I felt it would be nice toward the great people that follows this site, to share such news. That is all. I never posted anything that would have indicated that something is coming now, tomorrow or in a week, nor I tried to follow any trend. I have been following this for way too long, however I never before read anything this positive from a national newspaper or news media. This is NOT an RV date !!! This is simply a reinforcing information that possibly something has indeed moved forward in Iraq. I am NOT a currency trader, I do not care to be one, and I wasn't trying to confuse nor give unfounded hopes. I am merely stating the facts as reported by national size media. It is discouraging to me, and it is strictly my opinion, that even in front of this type of information, the inevitable skepticism once again has to come out and cloud a report that finally could prove something has happened with facts and not fiction. Among thousand and thousand of speculation as to what has been decided already or not .............. you name it, it is my humble believe that when finally some news are released to the public by national size media, they indeed bare some level of truth.

I just read this on several Italian newspapers. They all report that indeed Iraq has a government. They talk about a coalition and shared power. The link below is from one of the major newspaper in Italy, "Il Giornale". No personal friends, no intel, no one called me, nobody knowing anybody that knows somebody. Strictly news reported on the main newspapers and apparently on TV as well. I hope it helps. http://www.ilgiornale.it/esteri/dopo_8_mesi_ce_finalmente_governo_bagdad_coalizione_potere_sciita_al-maliki_resta_premier/08-11-2010/articolo-id=485399-page=0-comments=1 Same news from "Il Corriere". I also have confirmation from a relative in Italy that such news were broadcasted on the evening news on many different channels. Hopefully it is true. http://www.corriere.it/esteri/10_novembre_07/iraq-nuovo-governo_00203d62-ea6a-11df-acba-00144f02aabc.shtml

Great Post. Thank you for taking the time to share.

To BBALL I have been following your posts for a long time and I have nothing but respect for you. I read your frustration in replying to the negative and honestly worthless posts. I share it and I want to reply harshly to them so badly that is eating me inside, but I recognize they simply can't get it. Not enough brain cells. So, please ignore them, you are way above them. They can only see right in front of their own eyes, not the big picture. Please keep on posting your valuable information. Who that doesn't understand can't be educated, can only criticize.
