They need to get their buts in gear-NOW

Do some research in LOP talk, you will find all the answers there. They are simply going to remove the larger bill from circulation over time, not LOP the zeroes off and reduce the value of the currency itself. Hope this helps!

No way we want Sadr in the Iraqi powerbase.

They need more TIME? I think this is definitely smoke, or they are smoking something.

Thanks pal!

Well, we ARE coming up on the mid-month payday for many people. Seems to happen like clockwork just before the 1st and the 15th every month. I guess we just wait and see. Hope it's not pumping this time, and we can be done with it.

The fact is, NO ONE KNOWS, period. We will wake up one morning, and BAM-it will be done. I think that morning will be sooner than later however!

I guess they got tired of using "soon", "imminent", "2 days", and "in the coming weeks".

I followed your link and this is what it stated: "Bi tarikh Al Ghad” is a weekly political talk-show prepared and presented by Ahmad Hassan and directed by Yaseen Mohamad Amin. It retraces the latest major political developments taking place in Iraq and handles events from a leading-edge angle. “Bi tarikh al ghad’ projects the consequences of newest developments on the political process and highlights their effect on the current situation. It analyzes as well the future impact of the present situation on Tomorrow’s political stands and provides insight on how Iraqis see their future. “Bi Tarikh Al Ghad” is a political talk-show aimed at uncovering the fate of Iraq. It's not stating anything regarding currency or financial matters, but then again when has anything from Iraq made any kind of sense to the Western mind? Where did you find that link? I don't see it mentioned in the article.

We could very well be screwed. Oh well, we will find out soon!

Thanks for the info JoeP. I'll take a buck+!

I guess we will all find out this weekend. It's out of our control, so I'm not gonna stress it, too many other things to deal with in life.

Don't care.

If they RV @ .85, speculation will destroy them. They will not risk a run of EPIC proportions to pull in some larger notes held by smaller speculators, it would leave them wide open to hedge-funds and the like. Exactly what they DON'T want. If they RV at a rate similar to their neighbors, they will avoid this, and make some smaller speculators (like us) millionaires, which is a drop in the bucket to them.

The CBI could be putting these reports out to scare large scale speculation away as well. Being so close to an RV they've gotta be paranoid about a leak from the inside.

If they are introducing a lower denoms that equate with the larger bills, how is that NOT a LOP? That would mean 25 Dinar note lower denom=25K Dinar note. Unless they intend to make Iraqis very rich, (which would be great for the country) and simply break the larger bills into the smaller denoms at the time of exchange. Then you would have 25-100 Dinar notes or vice versa. Then we would be A-O-K. Fact is, we just don't know for sure. I hope we find out soon!

Hey, you NEVER know, it's as good of a day as any.

As soon as I see Frank or G.E.T, I move on.

NIGERIANS!!!

NOW the State of Law wants to speak about protecting the constitution and the will of the Iraqi people? What a crock. These guys make our politicians look like boy-scouts.

Correct. I'm just waiting for Daffy Duck to confirm.

And look at all the good it's done. Our administration is a JOKE-

In "two days" we will "soon" discuss "mechanisms" for a meeting to have an "imminent" result for the formation of the govt. Drives you CRAZY doesn't it! hahahaha

I doubt the powers that be will allow this farce to continue much longer, especially with the threat of a possible coup and civil war looming. Too many greenbacks at stake.
