Adam Montana Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Good morning and HAPPY HUMP DAY! I'll waste no time and get right into it: Forward motion on the budget, which says to me that in spite of the issues with ISIS and lack of a chosen PM, Iraq is still moving in the right direction: http://iqd.me/l/w12x One of the questions I'm getting a LOT is "Do they even have to ever pick a new PM?!" - I guess they don't have to make any kind of decision, but they are moving forward with the process and it's on pace to be done around the end of the month, which is also right in line with end of Ramadan. http://iqd.me/l/w12y To further address the issue of moving forward in picking a PM, forming government, and just general progress - Ban Ki-moon (United Nations Secretary General) will be in Baghdad tomorrow: http://iqd.me/l/w12z And last but not least, possibly one of the most interesting topics of discussion is this one: http://iqd.me/l/w12- Opinions are ranging from... well, just go look at the articles and posts in that thread, and join the conversation with your thoughts! My personal opinion on it can be summed up quickly: Overall summary: While we obviously don't have an RV yet (Oh you Lopsters! Right again!), the big picture remains one of progress and resilience. As we approach the end of Ramadan and we continue to see positive action in Parliament/GOI/etc, I continue to stay hopeful that we're on the edge of something big, and soon. Oh, one more thing before I forget... if you're in the VIP group but don't have your Certificate yet, GET IT NOW! Until the end of Ramadan, everyone can have Lifetime Platinum VIP for 50% off - this is normally only available to my Offshore Investor group! But for the next week, it's available to ANYONE. Here's the link: http://dinarvets.com/vip/discount-certificate.php And here's the weekly Q&A: stealthwarrior Good morning Adam,Iraq waited too long to RV didn't they?they could have bought a lot of security with all that money. I don't believe so at all. In fact, the opposite - if they had RV'd too soon they could have severely sabotaged their ability to maintain the new rate, and that wouldn't have been good for anyone. 429 Adam, I think we're all waiting with bated breath to see what happens in parliament on Wednesday, 7/23. News article out on Tuesday indicates that parliament is going into Wednesday without the usual wink, wink, nudge, nudge, Achmed's your uncle and the Presidency's already decided. Only time will tell, but is Iraq finally going to get past the sectarian divide? What effect will getting past the sectarian divide have for getting things like HCL, a budget and improving terms between Baghdad and Erbil? What about Kirkuk? Will it stay in Kurdistan or revert to (my words) Arab-Iraq? So how are the Packers looking for the pre-season? Just trying to keep it real. Lots of things happening in the right direction at this time! As you said, "time will tell"... I'll leave it at that. About the Packers - they are currently ranked #5 in order of most likely to win the Superbowl by Vegas odds, so I'd say things are looking good in Titletown too! Candy01 Adam, Do you think they will pick the PM the week of July 28th? It looks that way to me at least! Thanks so much for all you do! It is looking that way! fredst Good morning Adam & thank you. What does FATCA... Excellent question, and completely covered in the Offshore section. Here's the link to that information: http://iqd.me/l/fatca countryroads Adam. The shadows of summer are starting to grow longer, as we grow closer to another year without closure and still are faced with the imaturity of Iraq's government. My question is: are there any people in the government who have the power and the courage to unite the government and do what needs to be done? Or do all of the members of parliment have the same attitude as Maliki? I sure wouldn't want to see that happen because if it did I believe that it would be time to break camp and go home. That would make the entire investment very, very risky. What your opinion? Thanks Adam Go R/V R/I My opinion is that there is a lot of upside in this and I don't think anyone wants to raise the value of the currency more than Iraq. It's easy to get down on the prospects of a profit here when you look at it through a small window, but the big picture shows that they are continually making progress in the right direction. coorslite21 Adam, I realize this is "Dinar" Vets, however, would you care to share any thoughts on the VND.... (Dong).......ZWD....(Zimbabwean Dollar).....IDR (Indonesian Rupiah)... KRD...(South Korean Won).....or perhaps any of the Central African Currencies...? Thanks There's always money to be made (and lost!) in currency! I don't have any that I like as much as IQD though. new york kevin Por favor: For the sake of summarizing in one spot: is Maliki going to resign or is he just in discussions to resign? Will he likely be pushed out of his Priministership and by whom and why? Who is President, Vice President(s), Speaker(s), Security Minister etc? From which parties are they? Who is soon likely to be Prime Minister? What does this means for Maliki, the ISIS conflict, and more importantly for our hopeful prosperious futures? How much more time do you think it all may take? NYK, I won't pretend to know who will be sitting in what seat at the end of the month... but I'm confident that no matter how it shakes out, we're still going the right direction. That's the best I can do on that matter. That's it for now, friends! Have a great day and don't let the Gurus make you crazy 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadita Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) This is like boarding on the airplane and before take off, it has to have maintenance lol When it takes off, it will go to higher altitude, pick up the speed and with a good tail wind, lands at the destination just a few minutes late. Have been in two like that Edited July 23, 2014 by Nadita 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
