  1. Yes, it's interesting to have gotten a email from them... just hope they weren't hacked..

    personally, I'm holding out for $2.675 which was a calculated rate back.. oh geez, maybe two and a half years ago..... hey it's the rumor section :-))

    Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all.. yes even you Thugs and the Pink Piggy where ever you are 

    GO RV/RI

  2. First Haynon, someone gave you a neg for what reason I have no clue.. I don't understand why anyone would neg someone for writing a opinion.. so I made you even. 

    So here's my opinion on the article, all of Iraq needs to get a currency value to be able to pay with instead of US dollars. I wait for the articles to use Dinar as the currency of payment. 

    Oh, I will be doing this while having having one of those drinks with a umbrella in it..

    Be happy, it's the season for forgiving, family, love and giving..

    Happy Holidays to all and Merry Christmas

  3. It's been thought over the years that the CBI must close for three days in preparation for the RV/RI. Rumors have stated the they will be closed Friday (normal), Saturday (they have been open recently), Sunday (normal business day). I guess we will see in the morning, but if they are closed Saurday and Sunday, I'm thinking Adam will be sending the "TEXT" around 2:15 to 2:30PM PST Sunday. Thinking (major hope) $1,2 or 3 RV, it will be so much easier to understand the value of the IQD in Iraq with even dollar amounts. I really wanted to put $4 as a rate but that is just silly

  4. King Crimson. "Confusion will be my Epitaph".

    Umbertino,

    Your showing you age. Great band, stole the show opening for Rare Earth at a concert in 1974. They performed "In The Court Of The Crimson King" album. Great show and somewhat surprised I still remember it

  5. Most of us who have been here for awhile have seen many predictions come and go. Chapter VII was believed to be removed by some of the "Guru's" and the RV will happen just before or a very short time after. Of course not to mention the RV has happened and Tier 1 is already cashed in.

    So here we are at such a great step forward and for the first time it seems they won't be taking two steps back. Some believe that the CBI needs to close for X amount of days before they RV or RI. With the understanding that Iraq isn't Kawait. When Kawait RI'd their Dinar, it just popped in the middle of the week with the banks open for normal business hours and without any special closed days prior.

    Ive read a few clues that make me raise a eyebrow or two. Parliament has been meeting and per the articles, postponing for a day here and there, looks like normal for them.

    Here's what made me think they are up to something, in some small articles its been stated that meetings are being held in "Secret" (they sure love that word) and just last week we see that they have had not one but three National or Simi-National meetings, two were stated to have been secret. Very little information on what they agreed upon and looked like just a bunch of fluff as for the explanation for the two meetings. Reported that when we thought parliament was retired for a couple of days because of a lack of participation, we see they were in meetings, just not reading or voting laws.

    So we see they have been doing a bunch of something and it is so easy to speculate what they are really up to. Things are moving very fast for something and with Maliki possibly or maybe finally going to enact his agreements with the Kurds that have been on the table since he was made PM. Article 140 (Erbil) and the HCL are what we really need to be completed and they may have or going to in the next few days.

    Be awhile since I've been excited that this ride is coming to a end. Thursday UNSC meeting isn't hope, it's going to happen and from all reports Iraq will be a sovereign nation free to become a player in the international economy. They want this and this is why I'm thinking just a short time to go. I still think they will RI back to the $2.86 international rate (3.22 was Sadam's in country rate) and will rise the 20% Shab'a was wanting.

    So $2.86 before July 3rd is my guess.

    Stay grounded, calm and be happy.

  6. I really hope Maliki will work with Salih on getting issues resolved. But and yes there's always a but when we think Maliki is involved in anything. I just wonder how long before Maliki goes back on what's said in this article and claims anything Salih says unconstitutional. We can only hope they move forward as this article is promising.

  7. I read this three times and sounds like they believe that all items have been complete except finding Kawaits missing dead. This is the same statements made many times in various articles. IMO, I don't see the UNSC releasing them until they get their house in order. The political issues need to be worked out, HCL and Erbil are very important. Also IMO, I don't see the UNSC letting them to begin receiving offensive weapons while Maliki is still holding to many GOI positions. Think about it for a second, he holds the three main defense positions and what will stop him if he gets weapons. He could just declare himself dictator and nobody would be able to stop him. As much as I want and need the RV, there are ducks missing from the row.

  8. I agree with easy's comments. IMO, they still have an eye on the amount of IQD that remains in circulation, especially that in the hands of speculators/investors (AKA, us). It's entirely possible that they'll do another round of incremental increase, perhaps even as high as 1000:1, in hopes that the speculators/investors (AKA, us) will throw in the towel and cash out. Given the relative ease with which they could implement an RD at any time, and haven't, I think we are watching them play a waiting game with us.

    The good news for us is they're running out of time. WIth inflation on the rise, and their promises for a powerful IQD looking increasingly empty in the eyes of their own people, the pressure is on for them to do something more substantive, and soon. GO RV! :D

    I don't see how Iraq will benefit if up the value to 1000 to 1. I'm sure people will give up but, with a currency not internationally traded how will it help. The only place to sell is other investors or sell back to the traders. It doesn't go back to Iraq. So the same amount is still here. They'll need to get the Dinar to a value which will be recognized internationally and then they can get it out of our hands and into the banking system/US reserves. The value also needs to be high enough so the Iraqi people will use the Dinar instead of the US Dollar. IMO it will come out close to 1.50 to 1. This will be high enough to have the Iraqi public change their dollars for Dinar and get us to cash in. I'm thinking if it comes out at 1:1, the Iraqi public still will not trust the Dinar to maintain the value. I'm still dreaming of an RI plus 20% = 3.86

  9. Well here's the powder keg and that ding dong struck the match. If the Kurds start getting attacked, IMO all the Iraqi's will split and we could see a civil war. That scares the living crap out of me, this will change everything in regards to this investment. Maliki better stop this now. If he would have appointed the security ministers and finished the Erbil as he agreed, this wack a doodle wouldn't never have stated this. I'm going to hope this just fades.

  10. The sad part of all of this is Maliki knew when he agreed to Erbil (to seal the Prime Minister position), it was unconstitutional. He helped wite the constitution. So in rality maliki holds that position under a false premise and the Kurds know it, along with every other opposing faction. In reality Maliki won the popular vote from the people, but Allawi won the most seats. Maliki had to sign a deal with the devil to obtain his position, and now his house of cards is falling and now he trying to take down Shabibi with him. Not a very good move IMO.

    Doesn't Maliki keep stating it's not in the constitution? He signed the Erbil if we can believe the articles and agreed to let Allawi's group nominate the defense minister. He keeps talking about taking this to the courts to have it found to be unconstitutional. That continues to baffle me since he signed the agreement to get the Kurds on his side so he could become PM. JMO but, I believe whenever they finally have this meeting, the Kurds are coming to the table with something powerful to get Maliki to honor his agreements. It'll be interesting to see what Allawi says and commits to in the next few days. IMO, if Allawi agrees to come to the

    meetings, the Kurds hold the trump cards and they just might get this done.

    Thanks for the post

  11. While I hope that removal of Chapter VII will happen, I can't help thinking Kuwait is sitting there watching the 3 ring circus going on in Iraq. Maliki continues to break promises and not honor verbal and signed agreements. How can they feel all warm and fuzzy

    with anything he's agreed with them. He has about a week to get things done if Kuwait goes to the UN and agrees to have the remaining sanctions removed. IMO the completed GOI isn't a requirement to have Chapter VII lifted, it sure would look better to the UNSC. They do have a functioning GOI, it's in a bit of disarray but functioning never the less.

    Thanks for the post

    Stay grounded, calm and be happy

    Happy Easter
