  1. 3-10-13 SWFloridaGuy: Greetings Dinar Vets. I've decided to change my focus from solely doing my own research and decided to branch out to utilize what the professionals far more educated in the areas than myself. For 3 years I've studied large currency appreciations, macroeconomics, economic policy and the risk associated with it. As hard as I apply myself, I'm not to proud to admit I'm out of my league. So, I've enlisted the help of some professional global investment authorities and research groups. Doug Casey Research , Herg, UC San Diego, CESifo and an old acquaintance from Syracuse to name a few. These interviews will be recorded and the questions will be submitted to them to give them time to prepare and avoid feeling ambushed. I will broadcast them upon completion. I am only looking for honest opinions (positive or negative) and will not censor them broadening the spectrum for multiple points of view. Addressing another topic: I empathize with the frustrations of our fellow brothers and sisters, many who I've come to call friends. I grow weary of those I consider perfidious, clearly motivated by an ulterior agenda. We're under enough stress and Im not her to cause strife (character defect I am working on) which accomplishes nothing other than to promote discourse among an already very distressed group (myself included). I do believe this is a great opportunity and I'm in it for the long haul but I have learned it's more enjoyable when it's not all-consuming where other areas of my life are neglected (never was a big fan of roller coasters). I've tried to expose the Reno scams & date/rate hype but have come to the realization that, true or false, people prefer to have hope and, after all, they could be right and I could be wrong so who am I to judge. However, there is a select group promoting cults who employ a potent mixture of influence techniques and deception to attain psychological control over members who are only doing everything to provide for their families during these difficult financial times. Unfortunately with every genuine investment opportunity there are also an abundance of anonymous imposters willing to tell you exactly what you want to hear, for a fee of course. Then there are certain forums where adults are treated equally, each opinion condidered, valued and given the proper respect they deserve. No moderated chats, no typing in all caps, no banning for exposing untruths and most importantly they focus on the real positive aspects of this investment, of which there are many. This will always be highly speculative, which is precisely why authoritativeness and condescension has no place here. It's possible to be skeptical while also having an optimistic outlook toward this investment and life in general. I do appreciate the social aspect and friends I've made along the way but have also come to the realization that there are many naive people out there who are willing to believe anything once they get that gold fever (which is understandable to a point). It's been a quite a journey (both financially and emotionally) but I believe 100% that in time we will prosper. Those who have been involved for years have already seen an appreciation which we believe will continue sanguinely by comparison considering how far Iraq has come, despite several setbacks along the way. In the meantime we should try coexist peacefully, ignoring pumpers thereby limiting their audience and making a concerted effort to review each others research in a respectful manner and offer our own perspective; whether that be in the affirmative or showcasing an alternative theory. This isn't a competition. I can't recall Doug Casey (Casey Research) crying me first, me first, I said it first. Typing in all caps, or holding moderated chats. Banning members for exposing untruths does nothing to further our cause. I'm sorry if this is off topic tonight but I've grown weary of the disrespect lies and cult-like, blind following the blind that I've witnessed over the past few years. Like all families we often bicker, which is understandable, with so much on the line. I'm guilty of much of this myself but have had the pleasure of speaking with those far more educated and professional than myself and am doing my best to emulate them because I need a lot of help from many of the experienced, knowledgeable members this community has to offer. Synergism is the key and if utilized, we may be able come to a better understanding and limit our frustrations. We could probably start by elminating these phrases I saw on S.N.L. 1. The rate is live on Forex. 2. Bank Screens are going wild (red, amber, blue, blinking) 3. UST is in lockdown. 4. Cheney just bought more IQD/Pacemaker. 5. Vegas is now accepting money orders. 6. Prosperity packages are prospering (off us). 7. The 747 made it's final made it's voyage to the Bermuda Triangle (unfortunately the manna was among the lost cargo). 8. Don't go to the CBI website, you'll crash the server and stop our blessing. I would also like to genuinely thank all the economists/tireless researchers and the thousands of dedicated chat room members/newshounds/friends who continue to devote their time to sharing their honest opinions, void of vague, misleading analogies that help us all come to further our own understanding and research when it comes to such a highly speculative topic. I'm sorry if this came off a tad acrimonious. My inability to suppress my frustrations sometimes overshadows my gratitude for this once in a lifetime opportunity. I have no doubt this is the opportunity of the century. I've recently changed my focus from solely studying articles, macroeconomics, geo-politics, UN/WTO regulations and procedural steps because after much research I've come to realize I will never fully grasp how this will influence a country as corrupt as Iraq and the global financial system in General, which we hope will somehow filter down to benefit us in the near future. The G-7 developed economies realize that you can't simply print money into existence and fight deflation while stimulating growth. As we all know by now these currency wars have gone global. The leaders of the world are facing a major problem. They can no longer print fiat currency when they have no real value. A change is coming and 3rd world countries with no debt and a monumental amount of natural resources will help to revitalize the global economy investment/aid/contracts/corporations and arms deals will pour in. This will not happen over night but it will happen. There is no other alternative. Now to talk about the positive: Let's examine some applicable information that also happens to be very encouraging regarding Iraq's natural wealth and financial/political outlook: They have already mined thousands of tons of gold, which was set aside for the purification and extraction process. This discovery, among others, could turn Iraq into a producer of gold more than oil. It has also will increase the prices of real estate due to the influx of gold job seekers. Iraq currently has $60 billion in foreign currency reserves. In the 70s, when their former currency boasted a much larger value, Iraq's foreign reserves were only 35 billion. As CBI reserves grow, so does their credibility. They passed their largest budget in history and are making Chapter VII removal, WTO accession, appeasing the Kuwait, receiving support from the United Nations/negotiating with the Kurds and HOPEFULLY resolving the elusive HCL/140 in a way that satisfies all parties involved. I'm not here to attempt to convince you that overnight Iraq will RV . On the contrary, after studying large currency appreciations and the repercussions that would have not only short term but long term (although anything is possible), I now take a more balanced approach that a large currency appreciation shock is on the horizon for the IQD but tend to believe this will be a more gradual process and only after certain changes have taken place that will ensure long term stability (economic not political). We are currently witnessing these changes and I postulate that before the elections this postulate will proliferate barring any unforseen political instabiltiy. When you ignore the daily hype and follow the verifiable progress Iraq is making you can't help but be encouraged and it makes this journey far more tolerable (even exciting). To name a few: · Economic sanctions being lifted · Plans to alleviate debt have been instituted · Iraq is the fastest growing economy in the world · Funds being unfrozen · Iraq is emerging as an economic leader not only in MENA but globally · The IEA recently reported that Iraq will lead OPEC oil production growth over the next two decades · Private sector has made huge contributions toward economic recovery · Oil companies are driving growth and boosting infrastructure development · Budget passed - general progress that will lead to further implementation of necessary projects . Central banks formulate the timing of the implementation phase of a nation’s policy agenda . Confidence that the economy is strong and faith that strength will continue, historically proven element that all former revaluations share . The GOI/CBI's credibility is paramount, international pressure forcing the CBI to revalue will not maintain that growth . The CBI could move forward as they see fit but we see the GOI/CBI receiving international pressure demanding political/economic ameliorate . Iraq plans for economic integration . They are the premier emerging market, not only in the Middle East but the world . Iraq has positioned itself to make a significant impact on the oil and energy industry . The global economy is suffering and is once again forced to turn to the world's central banks for salvage . Iraq alone does not have the power to revive global economic growth but they present a unique opportunity that could possibly coadjutant in the recovery process. I'd like to add just one more thing. The scammers promising you high rates with PP/Vegas (whatever) deplorable liars. When the IQD goes live (international) the IMF will send a 'go live' signal to the Central Banks (upon approval of BIS board), then it will hit the master board at their main corporate offices and proceed to the banking system (country to country) depending on the IMF release terms. There will BE ONLY ONE RATE, NO TIERS!!!!!!!; at which point, depending upon regulations, each bank will institute the buy/sell spreads. Avoid Vegas scammers AKA Beverly Skinner Group, Hammerman and BH Group (Cell Block 6 bunkin w/Bubba). We have plenty to be grateful for, despite the countless setback we've endured. But even the most skeptical can see that Iraq's come along way and the posibilities are endless. Observe from a distance, help out for the newbies and stay positive (remind me of that from time to time) my fellow Dinarians, whom I am very grateful to have met and learned so much from. We will prosper from this, keep the faith. ** Sorry this post was so long. My iPhone died and Game of Thrones doesn't start till the end of the month.**

  2. Hey guys, When my brother first told me about the dinar in November 2010, it was the story from a pumper/scammer variety that was expecting an RV in the next week, so buy some immediately! type of stories... My brother's friends that told him about this had "connections", including some financial advisors here in the states and subsequently some ties to Iraqi baking people. I bought some based on my brother's advice and he had also told my mother and my sister. Neither of them bought any, but I did. My mother's life around that time had been tumultuous and she wasn't in a position to risk any of he little money she had. Tonight my wife and I and two kids were invited over for brunch and we ended up spending several hours there. She told me she had met with her financial advisor/accountant a few days back over normal issues with her money market funds and other finances. After going over normal business, he told her he had one more thing to talk to her about. He asked her if she knew anything about the Iraqi dinar. She told him that her two boys were into it and he went on to explain what an amazing opportunity it was but that she had little time to act if she wanted to get some. She arranged to buy some the same day. The advisor had told her he and some colleagues expected to see a major change in currency value within the next few weeks to couple of months. He stressed the urgency to get some now before it was too late. I thought this was another pumper-sourced opinion like I had heard a couple years back that made me rush out to get some, but this was my mom's personal finance advisor and accountant telling her this, stating it was his "moral obligation" to tell of his clients about what was about to happen with an assurance. He said it would make her 1.5 to 2million on the $500 worth she bought, but after a few weeks, and that she shouldn't cash in immediately as it would be a lower rate at first. Couldn't help but feel a twinge of renewed hope after hearing my mom's story.

  5. You're BS'n me... A young man walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check. He marched up to the counter and said, " Hi . You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job.. I don't like taking advantage of the system, getting something for nothing." The social worker behind the counter said "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You'll have to drive around in his 2012 Mercedes - Benz CL, and he will supply all of your clothes." "Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. This is rather awkward to say but you will also have, as part of your job, the assignment to satisfy her sexual urges as the daughter is in her mid-20 's and has a rather strong sex drive." The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, "You're BS'n me!" The social worker said, "Yeah, well... You started it." ONE MORE: 100 MPH GOAT Two Tennessee rednecks are out hunting, and as they are walking along they come upon a huge hole in the ground. They approach it and are amazed by the size of it. The first hunter says, "Wow, that's some hole; I can't even see the bottom. I wonder how deep it is." The second hunter says," I don't know, let's throw something down and listen and see how long it takes to hit bottom." The first hunter says, "There's this old automobile transmission here, give me a hand and we'll throw it in and see". So they pick it up and carry it over, and count one, and two and three, and throw it in the hole. They are standing there listening and looking over the edge and they hear a rustling in the brush behind them. As they turn around they see a goat come crashing through the brush, run up to the hole and with no hesitation, jump in head first. While they are standing there looking at each other, looking in the hole and trying to figure out what that was all about, an old farmer walks up. "Say there," says the farmer, "you fellers didn't happen to see my goat around here anywhere, did you?" The first hunter says, "Funny you should ask, but we were just standing here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the bushes doin' about a hunnert miles an hour and jumped headfirst into this hole here!" The old farmer said, "That's impossible, I had him chained to a transmission." Ed & Nancy met while on a singles cruise and Ed fell head over heels for her. When they discovered they lived in the same city only a few miles apart Ed was ecstatic. He immediately started asking her out when they got home. Within a couple of weeks, Ed had taken Nancy to dance clubs, restaurants, concerts, movies, and museums. Ed became convinced that Nancy was indeed his soul mate and true love. Every date seemed better than the last. On the one-month anniversary of their first dinner on the cruise ship, Ed took Nancy to a fine restaurant. While having cocktails and waiting for their salad, Ed said, "I guess you can tell I'm very much in love with you. I'd like a little serious talk before our relationship continues to the next stage. So, before I get a box out of my jacket and ask you a life changing question, it's only fair to warn you, I'm a total golf nut. I play golf, I read about golf, I watch golf on TV. In short, I eat, sleep, and breathe golf. If that's going to be a problem for us, you'd better say so now!" Nancy took a deep breath and responded, "Ed, that certainly won't be a problem. I love you as you are and I love golf too; but, since we're being totally honest with each other, you need to know that for the last five years I've been a hooker." Ed said, "I bet it's because you're not keeping your wrists straight when you hit the ball."

  6. In a perfect world, everything would always go right. Life would be sweet, warm and fuzzy. But how would we know things were good if we had no comparison ? Would we recognize the blessings in our lives without having the opposite to compare them to ? Without the darkness, would we appreciate the light ? Seems to me if we want rainbows, we gotta have rain. The trick is to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and go out and look for puddles to play in. By overcoming our adversity, we find the joy in everything. So go on, go play in the rain! Have a blessed week, everyone

  7. This was a very well thought out post and I commend you for that for sharing to everyone here. I see a lot of negativity on this forum at times as those who post negative comments appear to have quite the pessimistic personality. It is as if in their eyes, there is nearly no profits to be made in short-term or long-term. Given the short-term history and the no change, it may be easy to start to believe them. However, I do not know what they have for goals in mind when their negative opinions are not going to create motivation for others to sell-off as it may only really prevent further purchases. For those that have waited the longest, they have had the opportunity to sit and watch the value of their investment rise. In recent years, we have seem to hit a point where the value has become stagnant. That is quite depressing as it really does not give us any idea where this speculation may go. We are shown positive and negative articles leaving us on an emotional roller coaster. You posted this one paragraph that I find interesting. It is the following: The G-7 developed economies realize that you can't simply print money into existence and fight deflation while stimulating growth. As we all know by now these currency wars have gone global. The leaders of the world are facing a major problem. They can no longer print fiat currency when they have no real value. A change is coming and 3rd world countries with no debt and a monumental amount of natural resources will help to revitalize the global economy investment/aid/contracts/corporations and arms deals will pour in. This will not happen over night but it will happen. There is no other alternative. A change does need to be coming. The major developed countries have taken this burden on themselves and can really only blame anything but themselves. As we outsource our jobs off to third world countries, we are also exporting our wealth. When we don't buy American goods, we are exporting our wealth. When we call tech support lines or similar services and get people from India telling us how to fix a computer problem, we are only exporting our wealth. Those are lost jobs, which overall leaves a negative impact on our society. The quality from the goods & services we acquire are less, but the prices are proportionately less as well. What we are simply doing is balancing all countries abroad by doing this. The poorer countries start to strive, as the strong start to see a decline. Hindsight is 20/20. If I took the amount I put into this speculation and put it into other opportunities at the same time instead, I would have likely seen profits by now. Whether that is a simple investment at a bank, buying of precious metals, or possibly buying of a promising stock, I believe I would have seen profit by present day. Many people here likely bought around the high-pumping of IQD era when the value was stagnant at its 1170 mark. We went through trusted dealers and paid a large mark-up. The problem we see for ourselves is even small appreciation in the value will likely still have us exchanging out at a loss. When we factor in the potential re-denomination, we further risk the opportunity of generating profits as the ROI % is greatly reduced. It would be better to tuck our IQD away in an attic and forget about it 10 years and let it gradually appreciate than to watch the removal of the zeros. The ROI% would likely be significantly better. Iraq is known for Oil.. Recently, we are finding out that Iraq is more than just oil. It has many precious metals and minerals, it has natural gas, and it has an emerging economy that is eager to be on the same level as other countries with technology. With the emergence of democracy in a 3rd world country, there will be tough times and violence, but I believe as the people start to prosper and live higher standards of living that the violence will go down. Lets face it, if we in the U.S. suddenly had hard times similar to those of that country, violence would increase by a large percentage. People argue that Iraq may never work as a democracy, but I wonder if some back in the days of Kings thought the same when democracy was emerging. The concept is rather new to that region and they're in the learning stages. They have models to go off of, and their culture is learning to adapt. I think as years go on, the different cultures will learn to work better together. Time will tell, but I imagine other neighboring regimes fear that if democracy appears to be successful, that they're reign of terror may possibly be doomed. We have seen the fall of leaders in recent years and democracies are emerging. I believe, that putting wealth back into the population may be helped by putting wealth back into the currency. Whether it be more drastic improvements or gradual improvements, the outcome may be beneficial if executed properly. I think gradual offers the most reasonable possibilities as the economy does not take on such a shock to their economy. But, we rarley see the pegged rate move and I for one hope to see that rate changing...

  10. Obama’s SECRET GOAL for America!!! 56 MILLION HUMAN LIVES WERE EXTERMINATED BY THEIR GOVERNMENT! 300 MILLION AMERICANS COULD BE ON-LINE FOR EXTERMINATION BY OBAMA? In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. United States of America established gun control in 2013. From 2013 to 2017, well over 300 million blind Americans were unable to defend themselves from Obama’s Tyrant Government, were rounded up and taken to FEMA Camps by the thousands and exterminated. BE FOREWARNED AMERICA!!! ** Wake up AMERICA and smell the coffee, it’s brewing the WRONG way** DHS, IRS, and other Obama agencies have been STOCK PILING millions and millions of numerous types of ammunitions INCLUDING HALLOW POINTS of 9mm rounds ENOUGH to shoot one individual 5 TIMES (5x). Question is WHY? And please don’t believe for a minute that they are for training of their officers…could it be training them to HIT (US) 5x on the chest??? Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million. Defenseless Americans were exterminated in the 21st Century because of “Turning a BLIND EYE” on Obama’s SECRET AGENDA! 300 MILLION Killed. You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late! The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson. With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'. During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED! SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN! SWITZERLAND 'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE. SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!! IT'S A NO BRAINIER!

  13. haha professionals good one!!! thanks for sharing but you should have known Tqueezy our investment is solid bro. Stop giving into the LOP theories. Thanks for sharing. For me The dinar will be one of the many reserve currencies held by countries IMF is looking to expand globally for currencies that are asset backed and can support their value Iraq falls in that category so it makes sense to increase the value to help out countries currencies to strengthen in value. Many say there no way in heck that Iraq could be a reserve currency in short order and then i look at the euro and USD and just laugh!!!

  17. Shredd & Timmy Notes From Stryker's Web TV Show - 03/10/2013 Below Shredd & Timmy's notes from Strykers Web TV Call - Post From BondLadys Corner Below is the link to the replay of the radio/webtv show : Stryker Web /TV on Demand LINK (When Page come up click on title or date for show to watch) Guests - BondLady - Shredd & Timmy from BondLadys Corner These are Shredds and timmy's notes from the show: Shredd: Like many of us, I have friends, family and business partners invested in the dinar based on their investment strategies or their trust in my judgment. Some watch the dinar very closely while others invested and check in periodically to see how it’s doing. When they check in with me, I often tell them what I’m about to tell you....Follow the money. Follow the money! Follow the money! As we know, Iraq has amazing potential. The possibility of investors to make money in Iraq is huge. Why has it taken this long? Well, just as there is an appetite for Return On Investment, there is also a level of tolerance for RISK. Iraq has had the ongoing challenge of reducing the perception of RISK….and in many cases, especially in the earlier years after the war, the RISK was real—not just perceived. The level of risk today is more perceived than real and the ISX is a perfect example. The ISX first was incorporated and began operations in June 2004. Many gurus don’t know that. We’ve only just been hearing more about it because of some big names like Asiacell jumping onto it. An article from March 5th titled “ACL shares doubled capital of the Iraqi Stock Exchange” LINK says it best: The capital market has doubled in the month of February…the success of IPO ACL, has given confidence to investors of Iraqis and non-Iraqis that the Iraqi market can manage this process and the biggest of them, too." Think of it this way, all of us on this call and all those listening made a decision in the past to buy dinar. Why? Hopefully you did your homework and made a calculated decision to give up some of your hard earned cash to buy the Iraqi currency. You had to weigh RISK versus REWARD. Investors on a global basis are doing the same thing. Some have jumped into the Iraqi market but so many are waiting. Believe it or not, investors will jump on an opportunity if others do. Going back to some of you, you may have decided to buy dinar solely based on the trust of someone else doing their diligence. For example, what if the most trusted businessman or public figure you respect made a public statement that he/she believes in Iraq and has decided to buy billions of dinar? For some, it wouldn’t matter but for others, that may be enough for them to follow suit. So along these lines, we are continually seeing articles on banking and investment that may largely go unnoticed. These are continually showing us the opening door to investors and the global partnership Iraq has. Let me go to a few articles... Rikabi: trade and investment agreement with the United States will contribute to the advancement of the Iraqi economy March 9, 2013 LINK BAGHDAD (Iba) .. Considered a member of the Economic Committee MP Ibrahim al-Rikabi, the Convention on Iraq for trade and investment with the United States is a good agreement and appropriate their time came that Iraq needs to relations Trade and economic exchange between him and the European countries. Rikabi, told the independent press (Iba) that "Iraq Compact with America on trade will put many positives about Iraq's trade is consistent with the requirements of the national economy, pointing out: that the United States of America with economics sophisticated it can through this agreement to achieve exchanged commercially, economically sobering rise of the Iraqi economy. " This is a good agreement, at the appropriate time, making Iraq consistent in trade within the national economy!!! Shaways: Iraqi agreement - U.S. entered into force and Washington confirms Iraq's recovery from the crises Thursday, 07 March / LINK Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Rose Nuri Shaways, Thursday, entering the agreement between Iraq and the United States into force in 2005, while stressing Washington's ambassador to Baghdad, said economic cooperation with Iraq evidence recovering from crises. Shaways said on the sidelines of a ceremony held to mark the Convention's entry into force in Baghdad for "obelisk", "Iraq wants to accomplish foreign investment and entry of foreign businessmen, especially from the United States for these companies from the experiences of leading global and huge potential." He added, that "Iraq is seeking to make the necessary adjustments in the investment law and the laws and regulations chock him to create a fertile environment attractive for foreign investment and local levels." For his part, the U.S. ambassador in Iraq, Stephen Beecroft, who headed the delegation of the U.S. side for "obelisk", that "economic cooperation with Iraq evidence of Iraq's recovery from the crises it also represents an important breakthrough for the two countries and investors as well." The increasingly active U.S. companies operating in the sectors of energy, defense and information technology, automotive and transportation in Iraq . Iraq wants and is seeing foreign investment and there are increasingly more US companies coming into Iraq and this is a breakthrough for not only the US and Iraq, but for investors as well…..even at the local level! And another related article, here’s an excerpt: America and Iraq are close to trade and investment agreement after eight years of negotiation Friday, 08 March LINK Said the U.S. Trade Representative's office said an agreement between the United States and Iraq to promote trade and investment links are expected to come into force later this year after eight years of negotiation. So, a trade agreement which will promote not only trade but INVESTMENT will come into FORCE this year! Lastly, I wanted to point out that there is work that needs to continue to be done…. Economist: the development of the banking system will contribute to the promotion of investments in the country Date: 03/10/2013 14:24:30 Sunday LINK Hashemi said (of the Agency news): The development of the banking system will contribute significantly to advancing investment through encourage investors to come to the country for the purpose of work and investment. added: must amend the investment law according to developments in the world to encourage investors in terms of granting facilities and assistance to them and to reduce red tape. explained: that failure Iraqi banking system has a big role Ptlka investment process in the country, calling for new legislation for banks format makes local banks to meet the needs of investors. When we see the word “investment” in many of these articles, you can tell that it means different things depending on the speaker. For some, investment means global institutional investors, like the audience of the banking and investment seminar last fall. For others, investment means at the grass roots or “street” level like this article implies. So, this is just a sample of what we have been seeing around banking and investment but if you look at the big picture of the final preparations as well as the beginning signs of a flood of investment coming to Iraq, you just can’t help but to be excited! WTO ascension and an internationally recognized dinar is part of this equation and I believe we are very close to seeing this unfold. How will the dinar grow in value? That remains to be seen but any way you look at it, we win! So many of you are anxious to cash in and perhaps frustrated, but you need to understand that so much has been and continues to be accomplishes. The stage is being set and money, and the power it brings, is KING. Our day is coming and each and every day we are seeing proof of progress. Hold on and hang in there and train yourself to look for the progress and not just the rate because it will give you tremendous peace of mind and the hope we all crave! **************************************************************** Timmy: I am going to talk about the world trade organization. Trying to get an inside look into the WTO accession process has been one of the hardest things I have done to date. The whole process is shrouded in secrecy while documents reviewed by the accession working party remaining restricted until negotiations are completed. In many cases, both parliament members and citizens of the country do not know what is at stake. The accession process forces the applicant country to make many concessions to the members of the WTO as well as changing their domestic and national regulations in order to conform to the new agreements. So the first thing I looked for was information about the working party, what and who are they? I stumbled onto a website (US govt) that would only allow me a 3 second view before going blank so after about 20 times I was able to find out who some of the working party is for Iraq's accession. They are the US, no surprise there and China, Brazil and European Union I am sure there are others but thats what I caught. In 2007 The Chair of Iraq's Working Party was H.E. Claudia Uribe, Ambassador for Colombia. So each country has a representative on the working party. As I said the information is difficult to find for Iraq so I studied Saudi Arabia and their accession. It took Saudia Arabia 10 years to accend well 12 really if you count the 2 years prior to the formation of the WTO. They officially accended 11 dec 2005. The intersting thing about Saudi Arabia is that I was able to see the process in the official documents as they were released after the accession. In 2005 the last hurdle, and one of the toughest, were the talks with the US, which were completed in September 2005. Bilateral agreements with most other countries were completed the year before. Saudi Arabia had been changing its commercial and economic laws over those past few years to comply with the WTO’s rules. Where it has been noticeable and where it had the greatest effect so far is in the distribution, telecommunication, banking and insurance sectors. Its my impression that these "agreements and laws" are the last step in the accession process. The agreements are you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. Let me quote "Bilateral negotiations: The applicant government engages in bilateral negotiations with interested Working Party members on concessions and commitments on market access for goods and services. The results of these bilateral negotiations are consolidated into a document which is part of the final “accession package”. We will allow your accession if there is something in it for us and that is exactly what Saudi Arabia did ! So where is Iraq ? Well we know for a fact that a trade agreement with Unites States has been signed and I confirmed that on the website of the Executive Office of the President of the United States ( ustr.gov ) so thats one member of the working party happy. So I needed to find out about the rest of the working party and did my research and found Iraq signed agreements and passed two laws in 2012 with China and the European Union and have signed agreements with Brazil. So I would say we could check off the agreements. Next comes the laws . BondLady has continually said that the remaining laws are critical to Iraqs progress and she is absolutley correct ! If 90 % of the countries export is oil then of course a reasonable person could assume you will need the HCL law in force. Another critical law that has already been passed is the Copyright protection law (Intellectual Property Law) so why is that important ? Let me quote Ms Urbine the chair of the working party " Next steps :Iraq will prepare documents on agriculture, services, technical barriers to trade, sanitary and intellectual property. It will also prepare a general legislative action plan providing members with a state of play of current and future legislation. " A free market economy is another requirement as well as Members must allow international transfers and payments for current transactions relating to specific commitments entered into under that agreement. So the WTO wants Iraq to be specific about payments and they have because on Feb 25, 2013 Finance Committee MP Bayati said " be directed the Central Bank to support investment in dinars will support the national currency and the Iraqi economy, calling to rely on the dinar all insider and external to increase its value and enhance the confidence of the world and be a competitor of currencies International. " LINK Check that off the list too. One of the last things is according to article 4 of the WTO requirements is (a) the strengthening of their domestic services capacity and its efficiency and competitiveness, inter alia (latin = amoung other things) through access to technology on a commercial basis; ( the improvement of their access to distribution channels and information networks; ( so the wto wants an electronic system) LINK I know that Iraq is getting ready to fully implement the tariffs for two reasons, one its a requirement and two because they have requested from the WTO "We are prepared tables within the Harmonized System which was released in 2002, which consists of eight figures, and asked the organization to work on a modern system consisting of ten figures add another digit tariff," LINK this is kind of like a bar code for everything taxed. The Harmonized System – Tariff Classification The HS is a structured, hierarchical system; meaning it has progressively more specific levels of detail. then adds Tariff items for additional detail and to assign rates of duty, and statistical WTO Requirements Foreign exchange and payments Applicants need to describe how their exchange rate is determined, whether their currency is convertible, whether foreign exchange is freely available for trade and payments purposes, whether any regulations exist relating to the retention of foreign currencies, or repatriation or surrender requirements. Applicants should also describe their balance of payments situation. While foreign exchange questions are within the jurisdiction of the IMFand trade policy questions within the competence of the WTO,128foreign exchange questions and trade policy questions are interrelated. Of most direct relevance to the WTO is whether foreign exchange is freely available in payment for current account transactions, as exporters need to know how they will be paid. The WTO therefore recognizes this interrelationship. The GATT 1994 provides that Members must not, by exchange action, frustrate the intent of its provisions and that they must either be members of the Fund or enter into a special exchange agreement with the WTO.129GATS provides thatMembers must allow international transfers and payments for current transactions relating to specific commitments entered into under that agreement. ( General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ) LINK In the agreements: more time, better terms The WTO agreements include numerous provisions giving developing and least-developed countries special rights or extra leniency— “special and differential treatment”. Among these are provisions that allow developed countries to treat developing countries more favourably than other WTO members. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT, which deals with trade in goods) has a special section (Part 4) on Trade and Development which includes provisions on the concept of non-reciprocity in trade negotiations between developed and developing countries— when developed countries grant trade concessions to developing countries they should not expect the developing countries to make matching offers in return. Both GATT and the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) allow developing countries some preferential treatment. Other measures concerning developing countries in the WTO agreements include: extra time for developing countries to fulfil their commitments (in many of the WTO agreements) provisions designed to increase developing countries’ trading opportunities through greater market access (e.g. intextiles, services, technical barriers to trade) provisions requiring WTO members to safeguard the interests of developing countries when adopting some domestic or international measures (e.g. inanti-dumping, safeguards, technical barriers to trade) provisions for various means of helping developing countries (e.g. to deal with commitments on animal and plant health standards, technical standards, and in strengthening their domestic telecommunications LINK One last note we have seen 5 articles since August talking about Iraq's mission to promote the maritime sector through the help of the International Maritime Organization which will help facilitate trade and the International Maritime Organization is the United Nations specialized agency with responsibility for the safety and security of shipping and the prevention of marine pollution by ships. So now we know Iraq is on the verge of accession and with that comes a currency with value and status ! To follow up on the question asked on the show about the frequency of WTO meetings below is the link to the WTO schedule of meetings for 2013. thank you ! LINK

  18. Stating something on behalf of the "investment community" isn't possible for a lot of reasons, but whatever...The fact is that this isn't a scam and isn't even supposed to be considered an investment anyway, per se. Rather, this is simply purchasing of a currency, holding of said currency for an unspecified amount of time, and exchanging the currency again at a later point. There's no stipulation of investing when you purchase currency for the sake of exchanging it. You don't have to declare anything, it's not like common stock. So go back to the drawing board and bring back something valid to say about my post.

  19. Okay, and if it revalued and they held dinar, I doubt they'd need their job anymore, so it wouldn't matter that they recommended a worthless exotic currency that had no hope of rising in value...Your statement is defeatist and absolute when you have no basis to make such a judgment worthy of being accepted. Where is your proof of what you stated and where is your research and credible business journal articles discussing what constitutes a legitimate investment advisor? Also, he's not an investment advisor anyway, he's personal finance advisor and accountant... So, yeah.

  22. These are notes that were sent to me, (not notes I created) of the conference call: 9 Mar 13 and I'm just passing them on to anyone who might be interested in what Randy thinks these days...... [start] Dec. 26 – waited for Barzani and Allawi sign agreements – they did Reason: open it up for an RV….Exxon was pressuring Iraq to pay end of Feb If we look at Maliki what he’s doing…our country hasn’t been forceful to make him doing anything Barzani said…I’ll sign off some stuff if you support me on the RV to happen prior to the National Meeting We’re all waiting for the NM, things they signed in Dec was to open up the RV prior to that Maliki is trying to make deals with and says…I’ve got this and willing to pull stuff with me…for the last few months Only issue was problems with protestors and Exxon….they need to know what you’re going to do so we’re going to the Kurds M: Barzani has no ability to negotiate oil contracts for us…Exxon said we can work for anyone we want, we’re a company not a country Maliki backed off…okay I need you to develop oil… Why? The article they signed was over a disputed area and that’s why you don’t hear Barzani scream much…most of the time, I’ll do whatever I can because he already got what he wanted with the disputed oil in that area… You hear how we talk about the RV, billions per day and how it affects Iraq….Barzani took it! B isn’t going to support until he signs which he did in Dec. It’s BS about Kurds being mad…B is happy – got everything he wanted......Iraq still owes money for what they spent…he owes Kurds money and B said I’ll get my $ one way or another. B tries to appease who has the most power to push Maliki around Re; Companies…he needs oil bad now…800 million/per day only.....He’s trying to make a deal with China, Russia, and everyone you can think of…but they say you don’t have money….M says I have this RV I’m trying to do and I’ll pull it, but he’s passed all those times Keep in mind the IMF IS NOT GOING TO JUMP IN THERE and tell him what to do…they don’t care. They’re not going to loan any money.. you have the big guns as Barzani who’s taken care of with the disputed areas…then you’ve got Exxon he’s trying to negotiate with but didn’t. He promised him to do this…and I’ll get you paid…but he didn’t live up to it. Exxon is trying to deal with what he’s saying and not doing. M is using the RV as a carrot to make deals Exit strateg using the RV – I’ll do this if you do that…why in the heck is he waiting if he needs the money? He has to build an exit strategy – he doesn’t believe he’ll be re-elected, he’s gotta find a way out without being dead. He’s trying to remain alive until he leaves the government. Does he have to stay? Yes – he’ll take it as long as he can take it and all these countries allow him to go and say enough is enough. It is that time…counting down those days. He’s very limited…Everybody is on the up and up in those 30 days…He’s already passed what Exxon and IMF wants and other countries…neighboring countries. He’s at the end of those 9 lives…He’ll probably push it another 30 days, he’s gone as far as he can go, what will take place, no telling. From the 29th of Dec. to now to the end of April…any particular time if we don’t see Maliki do this, you’ll see tons of articles about the removal of money that was stolen. Maliki stole 80 billion dollars type of articles….if they remove him they’ll say it’s a coup…but they try to set it up to take a guy out of there…he quieted Barzani…you have Allawi, doesn’t have a major role, but Maliki lives within support of his own party with some issues. The $80 billion stolen is from his own party. That means he’s losing support from his own party – his political clout is gone and that’s why we’re at the end of our rope. I think by next week you should get excited….at this point in time he’s been in a severe position. There’s no payouts to banks…don’t listen to them…this is a political deal. Iraq would have to go over it and all these things have to line up…and they all have cole us for Maliki to pull the trigger…do it or be gone. He has a few more days to make those decisions. You’ll see articles about that…If you see articles about stealing money, you know he’s decided not to do anything…that means we’ll wait until the end of April and chances are this is about ready to roll….it will not start in Canada, Europe, ….just Iraq…when they change their CBI screen, then it has happened and no other country will RV….banks don’t roll over…not an issue and chances are it’s from someone who wants you to buy something. What rates with the CBI? .289 or something…based on US dollars which dictates the Iraqi dinar…it takes 1166 – when it flips over. Please back up, relax, take it easy – it’s political, you’re not going to miss it. Where can I cash in? ANY BANK! ANY BANK. The way you get it is another story but any bank dealing with foreign currency because that’s their job…to deal with foreign currency. Anytime this thing comes out of Chap. 7 – it’s just banking so don’t let anybody kid you about that also. It’s like going to the bank…like the British Pound…any foreign travel…go to the bank and exchange it. That’s all you’re talking about. It’s the same thing…no major things to sign up for…that’s BS – Breathe! Take it easy. Cash in a little bit, catch up and breathe! It’s coming to a head. I haven’t had a call…it runs people ragged without anything to let you know. For the most part, you’re going to be fine…it’s not going to be super secret, you don’t need super secret intel…it’s been so quiet because there’s going to be massive change and they’re kinda quiet about it. The budget: IT MEANS NOTHING…NOTHING, NOTHING!! They can’t even open them until they have an RV…they mean not a thing! Don’t worry about it….follow it, yes, but they’re pressure points like IMF that makes it happen, but there’s back deadline, just pressure points. ………… (missed some content here).... I personally don’t believe he’ll do …that …too much risk in it …people trying to kill him now because they don’t like him…the reason is to get re-elected, looking at exit strategies, not crazy, he’s very sharp. Talabani is gone…not dead, politically gone. RV won’t float…I know that for a fact…managed float at 2% -- next year it could go up 4 cents… [END] Someone may have more complete notes in the next few days, these are the quick fix available today

  23. I understand why it sounds fishy and I was trying to not have to explain my mom's personal life too in detail... Basically she got a divorce from my dad and has an annuity from her half of his retirement fund plus her social security. That's why she needs an advisor, because she's not managing her own funds in that way. She's broke and couldn't buy dinar a couple years back because of the divorce going on and she was moving, basically couldn't risk money on something that sounded risky. Now she's in a somewhat better place and had some money to buy some dinar at the advice of her accountant/financial advisor.

  27. Hames, good to see u too 34 yrs ago, in 1988, with 17 million population and almost same oil production capacity as they are now, the total worth of dinar then was 75 billion dollar ( #25 billion dinar x 3 dollar per dinar). Today, with some 32 million population, their total worth is only 30 billion dollar ( 35 trillion dinar x 0.00086). Is 30 billion dollar, the real worth of dinar? Last month, Libya released their new currency. They issued 116 billion Libyan dinar which is equivalent to about 92 billion dollar. # exchange rate ~ 1 Libyan dinar : 0.79 USD. That’s 92 billion dollar for their 6.3 million population. Economically, there’s not much diff between Iraq and Libya ~ Their economy depends primarily upon revenue from hydrocarbons, which contribute about 95% of export earnings, 65% of GDP, and 80% of government revenue. As a comparison (approx) GDP: ==> Iraq 120 billion dollar, Libya : 62 billion dollar 2013 Budget ==> Iraq: 118 billion dollar; Libya : 52 billion dollar Oil production ==> Iraq : 3 million barrel / day; Libya : 1.4 million barrel / day. Agree, those are not the only determinants of the value of IQD but mathematically…… something just doesn’t seems right. We know, they are in the process of restructuring and raising the value their currency, and we also know they plan to bring the value of dinar at par with the USD (1:1). But to achieve this, they have to REDUCE the amount of money supply and they are doing this by removing 3 zeros notes from their market, #hence reducing the number of banknotes from 4 billion to 1.8 billion banknotes. Whether they are going to do this in increment or with one shocking announcement, we’ll just have to wait and see. But as SWFG pointed out, anything is possible. SWFG, this is fantastic info...

  28. The original post was my poor attempt at American humor. Yes, we were all lied to. I believe the war was started for oil. However, I think that was secondary. Believe it or not, I think the primary reason the illegal war was waged was because in 1993, after the first gulf war, Saddam Hussein tried to have Bush Sr, killed while on a trip to Kuwait. Obviously that attempt failed. However the younger Bush held a personal grudge against the dictator for trying to "whack" his daddy. As we all know, Bush Jr was a bit of a business failure. He had the opposite of the Midas touch. Every business he ran became a dismal failure. Well now he was President of the US and it was time to show dear old dad that he could succeed at something. So why not succeed at the thing that would gain the most favor of his father and kill the man who had tried to kill him. Or at the very least dethrone him and destroy his government. Thus, the birth of the WMD ruse. So Bush Jr was successful and avenged the attempted murder of his father by starting an illegal war and killing the evil Saddam Hussein, and they all lived happily ever after. Oh except for the 3,542 American soldiers who were killed, but I guess every personal vendetta has a few collateral casualties.

  32. I'll agree some thread labels have been designed to tie all democrats to the extreme progressive agenda's, and that is not fair or even remotely true. I recommend we all make an effort to not offend, however, in this individual instance, the title fits. If the current administration is anything, it is fully supportive of all things socialist. One of the biggest problems facing America is the absurdity of political correctness. PC has turned Americans into a thin-skinned whiner society that thinks any idea or message must be sugar coated because even the malevolent have feelings which must be protected. That is the dumbest idea I have ever heard. Take that to the next step and solders will be forced to apologize to the enemy before they shoot them in the head. That's the same as being forced to spent $2000.00 on a dentist to give a root canal to a convicted murderer 1 week before their execution. Or a home owner getting sued because a thief got bit by the dog while they were stealing from the home. It's time to end this "gypsy queen" false pride and fragile ego garbage. While I agree calling all democrats progressives, or all conservatives republicans is wrong, obummer is definitely a Marxist, through and through.

  35. Three couples, an elderly couple, a middle aged couple and a young newlywed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor says, "We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain from having sex for two weeks." All the couples agreed and then came back at the end of the two weeks. The pastor goes to the elderly couple and asks, "Were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?" The old man replies, "No problem at all! Pastor." "Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" The pastor then goes to the middle aged couple and asks, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?" The man replied, "The first week was not too bad but the second week I had to sleep on the couch for a couple of nights but, yes we made it." "Congratulations! Welcome to the church," said the pastor. The pastor finally goes to the young newlywed couple and asks, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for two weeks?" "No, pastor, we were not able to go without sex for the two weeks," the young man replied. "What happened?" asked the pastor. "My wife was reaching for a can of corn on the top shelf and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was over come with lust and took advantage of her right there." "You understand of course, this means you will not be welcome in our church," admonished the pastor. "That's OK," said the young man, "We're not welcome at the grocery store either!"

Jury convicts former Detroit mayor Kilpatrick on corruption charges Published March 11, 2013 Associated Press DETROIT – A jury has convicted former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick on corruption charges after a five-month trial that portrayed him as a greedy politician who took bribes, fixed contracts and lived far beyond his salary.

  43. Interesting post Zul. 34 yrs ago, in 1988, with 17 million population and almost same oil production capacity as they are now, the total worth of dinar then was 75 billion dollar ( #25 billion dinar x 3 dollar per dinar). Today, with some 32 million population, their total worth is only 30 billion dollar ( 35 trillion dinar x 0.00086). We should also look at the 'Value' of a barrel of crude back in 1988 versus today. We should also look at the global inflation since 1988 to present day. Population doubled. Crude was $15 a barrel in 1988 and is over $100 present day.. so lets say 6 times over what it used to be. So, lets double the 30 billion to 60 billion Than multiply by 6 for the amount increase of oil. 360 billion To be on par with 1988, they would need to have their money supply roughly around $360 billion (not including other factors such as global inflation) That is roughly 12 times the value for what would exist present day per unit of dinar. Basically allowing a $0.01030928 (give or take) R/V. Not a bad turn around from an investment which may go up if you decide to hold & wait longer as it may appreciate from there. I don't really care to include global inflationary numbers as I feel that factor could easily contribute to the price of crude. But, I think its important to look at the outlook of the future: A growing economy, a growing population, and a growing demand for goods/services. Not to mention they're desire to increase oil production and mining for other minerals.

  46. Banks do not have unlimited funds to just buy up ANY currency and hold it. Hey have assets that have to be agreed upon how to invest. Most banks ship your money overseas over night and over the weekend to make crazy interest, but every one of those transactions need to be approved. I am no expert, but I have a few friends that have careers in banking, and I have learned a lot from them...like keep using my credit union!!! lol
