  1. I'm in total agreement with you guys - Typical of the Democrats and this administration to blame everyone else for their failures, bad decisions, and shortcomings...! Obvious choices could be made, but NO - keep our oil production capabilities shut down - global warming and all...LOL..! Plus, they want to bankrupt the US and take us down the path towards socialism ( which is a failure everywhere it's been attempted). We Americans need to wake up - hopefully we'll see it in November.

  2. Remember, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... RON *** Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground TV report] FIREFLY: Oil Minister is saying just last month oil revenue was over $10 billion. This is just one month revenue. Then the economic experts came on TV and said it's time for Iraqi citizens to share in this wealth and Iraq needs to show the true value of their currency. They were saying Iraq is losing billions with a program rate. FRANK: ..This is a dream come true..!

  13. Luigi found this article of Dinarian interests... Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. Frank26 via FIREFLY: Accounting experts saying deleting zeros would cost the government 6 cents for each note and that it would help citizens carry less money and would be much easier as for accounting issues however this has to be included with the Council of Ministers and Parliament to actually add value for purchasing power... Frank26 via FIREFLY: [Iraq boots-on-the-ground TV report] ...Deleting the zeros alone does not give increase in purchasing power. It's a collective project. FRANK26: This is the time when all they will talk about is the deletion of the 3 zeros from the exchange rate to add value to your currency and you are beholding it. The ISO20022 is the door for your currency to go international. And when the IMF gave it to the CBI last week we all went crazy...

  14. I think how it got in rumors section, it was being reported by frank in one of weegies poo roo reports! We now that there is such an ISO rating! I'm hoping that it is true that the Iraqi Banking system, has met the requirements for this protocol. If its true Iraq banks are ISO 20025 certified, this is very good news!!

RON *** Kaperoni Article XIV under the IMF Charter is a necessity first and foremost before any bank would even consider doing business with Iraq. All this talk about ISO 20022 is nonsense at this time...and has nothing to do with Iraq's exchange rate. Iraq isn't even an IMF Article XIV...

  17. Yes I am close to about 5X your amount unfortunately, however I have averaged my cost down quite a bit this past week so I would only need to see $33-$34 per share to be back around even. I have watched a few YouTube videos today as I do everyday and it seems in the past day or two there has been some margin calls happen. They also apparently typically get around 2 to 5 days to come up with the capital first but we should find out maybe next week who has been margin called. Hopefully it’s a couple of hedgefunds that are short AMC and can’t come up with the additional capital!!

  19. You are correct DoD, this isn't a rumor and has been in play for years. Not sure why it's being discussed here but I'll bite. Iraq like everyone else will have to develop a CBDC's, "Central Bank Digital Currency" to utilize the ISO 20022 protocol but having a CBDC will have no benefit if it cannot be traded Globally. ISO 20022 is replacing the Swift system which is antiquated, doesn't function efficiently and is expensive for Banks. The ISO 20022 protocol allows for the conversion of one CBDC to any other CBDC seamlessly in seconds for very low cost. The banking system moves Trillions of Dollars daily. Banks can save a lot of money utilizing the ISO 20022 protocol and they don't need to hold foreign currency for the trades they do with other countries on a daily basis. This frees up trillions in liquidity. Chart below might help you see who the players will be.. it is not exhaustive however..

  23. 6 Arab countries raise interest rates Time: 05/05/2022 19:21:25 Reading: 2,366 times {Economic: Al Furat News} The US Federal Reserve raised the main interest rate, by 50 basis points, as a more aggressive step so far in its battle against inflation spikes. A number of central banks in Arab countries raised interest rates, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Jordan. The Central Bank of Egypt is scheduled to meet on May 16 to discuss monetary policy, including raising interest rates. The US Central Bank’s decision to fight high inflation, which recorded 8.5% last March, was prompted by the lack of supply of goods due to supply chain problems, whether as a result of the Covid closures in China, or the Ukrainian war and its impact on the prices of many basic commodities from food to energy. Interest rates are one of the central banks' weapons in curbing inflation, by sucking excess liquidity out of the economy and undermining demand. However, the US raising interest rates means a lot to the direction of the movement of capital around the world. Your personal wallet It is expected that the decision of 5 Gulf countries, in addition to Jordan, to raise interest rates, will have a clear impact on the personal portfolio of its citizens, and the expected start will be on the cost of new borrowing. Therefore, your financing needs will be more expensive at the present time, especially loans with fixed interest, as they carry higher risks for financiers from banks and finance companies, with the possibility of a new increase in interest rates. Just as the existing loans with variable interest rates, whether it is real estate loans or car financing, they will also witness an increase, and you should review your loans at these times and contact the financing entity for your loans to find out the size of the impact on your personal budget. It means loans with variable (moving) interest: loans that consist of two parts, one of which is fixed, which is the interest margin obtained by the financing bank and varies from one bank to another and according to each customer and his creditworthiness, in addition to a variable part, which is the official interest rate announced by the Central Bank. The general activity is not only that, with the increase in interest rates, the cost of financing economic activities becomes higher, and the economic feasibility of many projects decreases, as investors resort to investing their money in risk-free and fixed-return vessels, with the ambiguity of the economic scene and the presence of a higher return from banks, which is Which may affect all economic activities. In most cases, bank deposits rise significantly with the rise in interest rates, which may reduce the money supply and lead prices to fall again and thus inflation levels, depending on the speed of response to interest decisions. stock valuations On the other hand, many analysts rely on what is known as the "risk-free rate of return" - or the interest rate on treasury bills and bonds - in evaluating companies' shares, as the future cash flows of companies are discounted at a higher interest rate to calculate the present value of those funds, and thus The higher the discount rate (synonymous with interest rate) the lower the present value of the future cash flows and therefore the lower the valuation of the shares. It is expected that many research centers and investment banks will start adjusting their recommendations and target values for the companies they cover. Contrary to this picture, bank shares usually witness a rise due to the net interest margin, which moves positively with the rise in interest rates. determinants of interest With the US Federal Reserve raising interest rates, many global central banks are forced to follow in his footsteps, as even if their recorded inflation rates are not high enough to raise interest rates, they may be forced to make this decision either to maintain capital flows coming to them. As a result of competition with higher interest rates offered by US Treasury bonds, or because its currency is directly linked to the dollar, and thus the need to maintain exchange rates with the dollar, which is expected to witness a significant increase compared to many currencies. The US dollar recorded its highest level since the global financial crisis last month, before retreating slightly after the decision to raise interest rates. However, the closest expectation is that the dollar prices will rise against global currencies, especially emerging market currencies. Gulf countries In turn, 5 Gulf central banks announced raising interest rates by 50 basis points, namely: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, with their currencies linked to the dollar, despite inflation readings that were significantly lower than their counterparts in the United States. The banks attributed their decisions to the high rates of global inflation, and to spare their economies imported inflationary shocks from the rise in global commodity and energy prices.

  24. An Iraqi official expects his country's revenues to exceed 150 billion dollars this year Mazhar Muhammad Salih, Financial Adviser to the Prime Minister May 05 2022 09:35 PM Mubasher: The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, expected today, Thursday, that Iraq’s revenues this year would exceed $150 billion . Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that the International Monetary Fund's reading and expectation of a jump in Iraq's public revenues during the current year 2022 focuses on the total oil and non-oil public revenues of federal Iraq. He added, that the Fund may have estimated the average daily exports of crude oil at 3.4 million barrels per day, with an average annual price of 104 dollars per barrel exported from oil or more, with non-oil revenues of no less than 8-10 billion dollars. He continued, "If the revenues of the Kurdistan region are added to the oil and the other, the total federal revenues can easily exceed 150 billion dollars at the end of the 2022 fiscal year . " The International Monetary Fund expected, earlier, that Iraq would achieve a jump in its public revenues during the year 2022 after the rise in oil prices, amounting to 149 billion dollars and an annual change rate of 73 percent from the year 2021.

  32. Washington .. Approval of a law that allows the “OPEC” countries to be sued internationals 2022-05-05 | 12:31 Source: Russia Today 3,282 views The US Senate Judiciary Committee approved the NOPEC bill to ban oil production and exports, which allows Washington to sue OPEC countries for exercising a "monopoly" by not increasing oil production. The results of the vote on the law showed the approval of the majority of the members of the committee, which, if passed, would allow the US authorities to sue the member states of the oil-producing Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) on the basis of alleged violations of monopoly laws. Informed sources indicated, "The project will recognize the illegality of any joint measures for other countries aimed at limiting oil production and setting black gold prices." This was preceded by a similar bill a year ago, knowing that the new project, and before referring the draft to US President Joe Biden for signature, will have to obtain approval from both houses of the US Congress.

  33. Not sure why this is in the rumors section because it’s a fact. Engine 1 is correct, this ISO will be taking the place of the Swift system by 2025 and I will give some kudos to Iraq for getting ahead of the curve instead of begging for relief. This is a pretty big deal because it connects banks internationally and gives Iraq a leg up on any future international transactions. I like that….
