I just checked it again and it says 1,500,000 IQD = 0.000858 USD

Actually, if you click on the link that dreamstealer just posted and read that thread...IF there is any truth to that thread then the response doesn't sound so odd afterall.

that is why I stated this is just info from a friend of a friend, i posted the web site info in case ANYONE wanted to get a phone number from it and check it out themselves they can; I will be doing this (hopefully) later today if my schedule at work allows it...

it's okay, and i accept your apology but its not needed...i have tough skin and you weren't as horrible as I have seen SOME be on this site : ) Nothing was mentioned to me about any article, but I completely understand where you are coming from, I feel the same way at times...I take what I take from these posts and some I believe and some I don't, I have called and verified things myself, just for my own peace of mind for the simple fact that what you are saying is absolutely true and accurate in my own opinion. Thanks for not being a BIG JERK...I am not here as a pumper or anything like that, no harm no foul...thanks for your input; I appreciate it good or bad.

So it converted your dinar into USD at what rate????? I think thats the million dinar question of the day : ) Thanks for sharing the information with us. I don't know ANYTING about the WARKA BANK stuff...anyone care to catch me up and fill me in on that?

An invested friend of a friend called the forex trading company (www.forex.tradingcharts.com) yesterday afternoon or this morning - not sure of the exact details and asked why after all this time would the IQD symbol show an increase of 6.5 yesterday when it's been (0) for so long and it's still not on the open market for public exchange. He was told they were merely testing their data module, he then asked is that something they do often or on a routine schedule; he was then told that most often they will go in and test the modules for a currency that is about to "go live" this is only what I have been told by a friend...I have nothing concrete to pass along for verification. I can look into it more (which I am planning on doing to settle my own curiosity - when I have time at the office this afternoon) IDK, I have watched and listened like the rest of us and this has definately been an emotional roller coaster ride, but I just feel different at this time, I feel this is going to happen really soon. Thoughts anyone?

I agree with you in the way of not believing an LOP will happen AT THIS TIME; however, I do have one question for you or anyone who might want to share his or her thoughts about something. I have read something, somewhere along the way, talks about some countries "forgiving" Iraq's debt...I am not an economist but I guess I could see that happening; when you say, you can't imagine the US investing in the IQD basically for nothing...this makes sense but what about debt being forgiven to the US? I don't know who if anyone we might be indebted too but would this be a possibility in seeing an LOP? Just curious...trying to learn here, don't throw stones and peck me to death...

Where do you see Feb 2 information? I have no idea what all this stuff means anyway. Any help on this one from anybody??? Thanks

Thanks for the post Woody. I have a couple of questions: 1) Where did you find, and can you share the source of the information regarding Shabibi must enact a plan NLT April 1 per UN and IMF requirements? 2) What does it mean to "float" as stated in your post? "...probably over $1 and float" thank you - bstephie123

thought this was interesting. I've never seen this posted this way on this site. Just posting to see what everyone else thinks and if anyone else watches this site as well The site is www.forex.tradingcharts.com Symbol* Bid Ask High Low Open Change Time Favs XAUUSD 1116.02 1116.51 1119.59 1115.3 1118.03 -1.52 06:58 Add XAGUSD 16.3625 16.4175 16.51 16.35 16.49 -0.0725 06:57 Add IQDUSD ERROR - INVALID SYMBOL N/A Refresh Data From what I have seen for many months now is the same numbers 1179/1168 (or something close to that) with a final of (0) now it is showing ERROR - INVALID SYMBOL N/A... Anyone?

i think it is interesting to say the least that all of a sudden, today different exchange rate sites are showing something where as they haven't shown the IQD at all for a very long time. Even though it doesn't have an RV amount and no word of banks here in the US that are accepting IQD for exchange yet, it's just strange that we are seeing these little things here and there on the web....I hope we will see something more positive and concrete very soon.

is there a link to this article? Would you mind posting it please?

I agree that this is a BIG week for Iraq, history in the making.....elections are their first concern

Tabi - I am just curious, I am new to this site and everything I read, you have posted something in response; but you agree with nothing? Why is that? I just wanna know what's what and who is who? Not trying to provoke, just trying to sort things out.

FP and Chase32; very valuable and sensible insight. I don't want to hear information based on what we WANT to happen but what we think will and can happen based on educated economic insight, so thank you BOTH for your input. Now I am one of the many out here that does not have the educated economic insight, not even a little bit okay - LAUGH if you must but please, PLEASE don't discard my question(s) I am just trying to educate myself; consider it an honor that I am asking you both this question... You talked about a government can print and destroy money as they please (in a way) but under these circumstances, Iraq has been ravaged by wars and economic emabrgo's for decades; and 13 years of crippling sanction regime etc...what would be the benefit of printing so much money as they have in circulation at this time? Why would they have chosen to do that?

I think he is saying it's possible, but just not yet...

just curious peakj, why do you think he has nothing to worry about?

thanks backwood countrygirl for your post...i have watched this site for some time as well, but I have only seen the (0) posted, so I thought maybe the 6.5 on there today might mean something. Thanks for letting us know what you have seen in the past on this site.

like whodat1 mentioned; this site has been different for many many months now, the next to last column (I believe) has always been blank or with a 0 in it, and today it is showing 6.5; I don't know what it means either, but whodat1 is correct by stating that it IS different. Lewyatt, have you monitored this particular site for any period of time??? just curious...

Thanks for posting this message outback. My b/f and I just talked about this over the weekend. If you take the greed out of it and there is any profit to be made be it at .31 or .86 or 1.46 doesn't matter...take the greed out and you have still made an investment gain. Be thankful for who you are, and what you have, not the material things in life, but the family, love and relationships that you are blessed with. Anything else is merely a bonus and can be given or taken away at any moment.

I am not an economist by any means and I appreciate you putting this question out there to be analyzed; but IMO, I don't think the CBI cares one bit about how any of the governments will tax any gains etc.; why would they? And if I am wrong or totally out in left field here, please tell me why they might? I am not being rude, I am just trying to look at the angles like everyone else, please understand that I mean NO DISRESPECT to you cashman...thank you.

Barbann - thank you for posting your question; I feel the same way, I am not an economist and would like to see what the other more knowledgable ones on this site might think about that.

very interesting. Have you done any research on Mike Spencer, financial expert and director of FPSO out of Ohio by chance to see or try to validate the article? If I can find time in my work day, I might see what I can find on him. I will let you know. THANKS for the post Mesha

nascardman - you don't pay capital gains taxes quarterly, it's all done through your federal tax return which is annually not quarterly. The amount doesn't change that and the amount doesn't dictate what type of tax it is, trust me; you will settle up on the tax portion of this journey in the year following the cash in/gain
