Uncle Barkie

Hi Adam and thanks for all you do! My question is more of a two cents thing.... If they do come out at a low rate ,let's say 10 cents , and give a 90 day "cash-in" period, what's the likelihood that the rate would rise in that 90 period? I know they would want to keep it low as they set the price ,but wouldn't all the currency exchange activity surrounding the dinar, at that time, affect the exchange rate internationally? Thanks in advance, as I'm just trying to understand a few things myself. Sincerely, Uncle Barkie

The problem I have with this article( and thank you for finding it) is that they refer to their decision they came up with in their meeting held on April 10th .... this is an old article that the news agency has rehashed/ re-released... Thanks again for finding it thiough and stay positive and keep on hunting. Uncle Barkie

Hi Adam! Thanks for everything you've done for all of us through the years. Regardless of how this investment turns out , you have worked tirelessly to bring us your unbiased opinion and the targeted information that we need to stay focused on this long journey.Again, thank you! Uncle Barkie

This sounds great but I personally would like to see a link for the article myself instead of it being paraphrased. but keep on hunting

I agree Nonstop... bur it's like a bad crash on the highway... you can't help but slow down and look

This is more than a little confusing. The opening paragraph states that they will release the new lower denoms in September 2012 ,and they will be used in "parallel" with the current notes for 1 year. If they are, in fact, used in "parallel" then they are at 1:1( by my understanding of the word parallel) not 1:1000 as stated at the end of the article. Maybe I'm just missing something here I guess. Uncle Barkie

The sad part about this " Tax Document" is that it states " they will bring in there old currency and be given the equivalent amount in the new currency". .... Could that statement be anymore vague ! (25000 old IQD = 25000 new, 2500 new or possibly 25 new) ... Notice that "Tax Document "is in quotes as, I myself, don't buy into his being privy to what is, technically, classified CBI information. But I hope that this all turns out to be true and we can finally say ' Goodnite Gracie!" to this investment. Peace to you all! Uncle Barkie

I did the same thing a long time ago Joker ... you can never be to careful.

Thank you for the article trooper... I always love it when they say ,"they must continue to have meetings to discuss the possible ways to find solutions," when they really are saying , " we are gonna hold more discussions on when we are going to discuss how we are going to hold discussions about the problem." OMG .... I'm starting to think like the Iraqi government ... somebody please shoot me now! Uncle Barkie

i must honestly say that after all these years of watching the Iraqi Government in action , their only obvious motivation isn't their country or their people. ...... It's their own greed and lust for power that motivates them and as much as I hate to say this, it works in our favor that way , because they will want as much wealth as possible as quickly as possible. So, whenever ,if ever they "RV" , I will gladly cash in , pay my taxes and thank only myself for having the foresight to see this investment for what it is. And I will never, EVER, look at what is going on in that forsaken region again. Uncle Barkie

thanks for the hope anyway.

There is truly only one way to look at this investment and that is if we make a profit then it was a great investment. If not, then nothing ventured nothing gained and life goes on. I don't have a great deal of of money now , but i'm still a happy person, so either way I will still be a happy person. Uncle Barkie

It is implying that in two years they want the value to be near or at the old rate of 1 IQD = $3.22 US . This also means that they will rv soon to allow a gradual increase to reach that level , thus minimizing the affects of revaluing on the economy. That's what I gather from the article.

I have to laugh because from a great deal of peoples posts it's apparent that many have not fully understood this "speculative" investment before investing. Whether we make several thousand or several million, I myself really don't care ... there is a profit to be made period. That is the only thing that is important in this investment (will we make money , not how much will we make). If you are at ease with that,then all of the random B.S. that some are most passionate about suddenly don't matter . So be at peace and be happy that you've had the chance to be part of this grand adventure in your journey through life. Uncle Barkie

Piggy Poop clean-up in aisle 1 .... Piggy poop clean-up in aisle 1 !

My whole condo shook for about 4 or 5 seconds ... that was freaky weird. I can't imagine living thru a quake of larger magnitude.

I have to ask if you are invested in the IQD because your statement " ... who wants dinar when there is no practical use for it?? That makes no sense...." makes no sense if you are. This is a speculative investment. That means there's a chance to make money and we as investors ( and corp. and governments ) are betting on it going up in value. While I'm sure you're invested , you might want to ask why if you're making that type of statement. I'm not bashing you ... I'm just making sure you understand all of the risks involved with speculative investments. Not to mention all of the ups and downs they come with. Be safe and have a wonderful journey down the path of life. Uncle Barkie

Yes there is a new model .50 ! It is the Barrett model M107A1 which is an upgraded version of the original M107 . It is 4 pounds lighter than the original ( which is extremely important in combat operations) and it's purpose built design allows the quick attachment of the Barrett .50 BMG suppressor. just a little info for every ones enjoyment ! Here's the link . http://www.barrett.net/firearms/m107a1

Someday someone will be correct, so tonight at midnight is as good as any ! Let's just wait and see. :;

Thanks DRV1804 for the great video post . I agree that the oil output seems overly aggressive, but if they can reach the 3 mbpd by years end then they could hit the 8 mbpd ( the low end projection ) easily by 2020. Great news for the ISX as well, if the pattern holds! Uncle Barkie

Thanks for the great find Brisco ! If they have truly figured this GOI mess out then we are one giant leap closer to a new beginning for us all ! Uncle Barkie Liljohn ... I hope your prayers for rain are answered soon ! We aren't to far behind you here in southeastern PA. . We've had very little rain in the past 2 months despite the cloudy weather ( the rain seems to just pass us by ) in this part of the state. Good luck and God bless ! Uncle Barkie

You guys are funny as hell ... Thanks for barking at each other cuz' I needed a laugh !

I've told no one outside of my close personal friends and family and the funniest thing is ,we were all afraid to tell each other we invested in Iraq. We all got a good laugh when we realized we are all holding IQD in various amounts. We all plan on taking care of our children and families should this be as good as we all hope , but we'll all be happy if we make a small profit as well. Not one of us plans on retiring as many on here have talked about doing. We may adjust our priorities in life , but we shall move through our lives as if nothing has changed ( though life will hopefully be a great deal less stressful not sweating the bills... ). I'll be happy to make anything and to never have to check on our investment again ! Uncle Barkie

The part of the article I'm concerned with states that in the long term plans, a 25k dinar note will become a 25 dinar note after they rd. But then, this is Salih speaking so who knows. I'll just wait and see . Either way , we stand to make money , even if it's just several thousand. Uncle Barkie
