great detective work ! thanks...

thanks scooter..nice to see the bigger picture..this thing is WAY bigger than we little people have any idea...there are also other big players in this game...they WILL make Iraq the shining star of the ME and restore her to her previous glory as the great empire of Sumer...Basra will be the next Hong Kong ,The US embassy will guard the region (just google US embassy in Iraq )..This will all happen when AND ONLY WHEN..They say so.. blessing all...

If you want to be a wienie a say stupid stuff like that please go some where else to play your head games...not very funny of you..got it !

ON the positive side...humm....Just maybe Maliki is not concerned because....he has a surprise for all of us..and his people

There is no such thing as the anti christ..complete disinformation.

Thanks for the great post ! But I do believe in ET's...heck why not... Blessings all

Hey man ! this intel is better than most around here !! hey I'll take a prison rumor over Okie any day !! hahaahah

Hi ! heck I don't know how the Current unrest in the ME plays into this..haha..But one thing I do believe is that some of it is part of the plan..well maybe..One thing that is interesting here is that the ISX has had strong volume in light of all this turmoil..So i'm wondering if the smart ME money is now finally moving out of the surrounding countries and heading into safer waters ie.Iraq's stock market. Also so considering the the ISX has still been posting gains in the midst of this unrest...so humm..it's got me very interested..Today was a holiday ,but I will be up tomorrow early to see if this trend is continuing..hope so.Most of my Dinar are in the ISX,which has been one of the worlds top performing markets so far this year,up 14.4% according to the Rabee index (not to mention the the 10 % move in December http://www.rabeesecurities.com/ Kind of reminds me of that quote "nothing is more powerful as an idea who's time has come"...or something like that..haha I still strongly believe that we may very well see 100-200 % gains in our dinar holdings in the ISX this year..wouldn't that be cool... As far as the November thing goes..it's just a guess based upon what looks like may be the next top in the gold/silver/oil complex..Please be aware that many analysts are calling for $100.00 plus,, oil by summer or fall.This would support a stronger outlook for Iraq,and maybe an better RV..but what do I know about RV's ?...nothing..haha.. As far as will the Iraqi people wait that long ? well From what I see in the controlled media..haha...The GOI is scrambling and acting very sweet lately about doing all kinds of niceties for it's starving people. Throwing them electric subsidies and food everyday lately. So can they pacify the citizens that long ? I do think so !...I personally feel that The Big powers are going to turn Iraq into the most powerful and possibly opulent country in the region..,, Within ten years the whole world will marvel at Iraq. .And right now they are saying to the GOI " Hey ! make sure them people are happy,right now ! got it !! "..haha... OH,and BTW I don't sell gold ..haha...I just trade the SLV silver trust and tiny penny silver and gold producers and exploration stocks...Which right now look like the smart money are selling tons of shares right now in anticipation of a sharp decline in the metal prices..so I'm almost completely out of the market right now..but watching closely..I still feel we will see silver down to 23-25.00 within the next month.That's the time to buy with both hands...maybe !... Also my sincerest apologies to all the fellow vets out side of the USA, I'm sorry I wasn't thinking of you when I wrote that..yes i'm from the US ,but i'm currently vacationing on Mars,touring the pyramids and enjoying the cute martian girls..wow..you should see um up here !..ahaha...havin funn.. HEY let's enjoy this crazy roller coaster ride..haha

hey Emmet..cool video and cool weblink...great find...Thanks a lot..loved it !!!

Thanks Bucko..that feels good ...everything IS coming together..in it's time

Hey all...I know we all want this now..I do !...But most of the times Investments don't do what we want..correct ? OK..so here is my take..I'm a long time researcher of global money and Commodities.. I filed bankruptcy in 1999 and retired with millions in 2005 ...So i have some clue as to what I'm about to tell you all..ok ? The global powers are in charge of just about everything in the financial world..and that's ok..Don't fight it...Go along with it.. We live in America THANK GOD ! And the global powers are the ones who made this happen...along with divine order (God ).. ok..got that...Lets support our leaders and pay our taxes,etc,etc...ok.. Ok..So now what ?.. The US dollar must be devalued further from here,,which will probably be complete this fall...consequently gold and silver with escalate..as it is now..correct.. ..They will be peaking around November at that time the RV will take place causing a mad rush into the dollar by all us Dinar holders..this will cause the dollar to rise significantly in value thus crushing the Commodities bull market and inflation...That's when you need to be out of commodities...completely for a while..(then you will want want to re-enter at a later date....Right now I don't know how long..You have to study the charts and monetary policies to know this as it develops.. Remember that there are always wild cards in the mix...so nobody truly knows >>>NOT even the global money powers...They remain flexible with a plan..that is how we are to be...flexible while staying invested in this AND other things as well.... ALWAYS have other plans !! Here is my simple conclusion..The global money powers will make money and develop nations as they see fit...NOT on our time table...They will keep America great..all in time... So..as bad as I want this RV right now myself...I just don't believe that the powers will do it before the dollars is done doing it's thing and the Gold bull is made it's parabolic assent over 1,600.00 usd's ...which looks like the time is now..according to the charts..(Although gold will probably go down over the next month,then watch out as it starts march upward )..It looks like gold is now approaching the final stage of the parabolic blow off..commonly known as the mania stage...when everyone jumps in..even your neighbor and Taxi driver ...only to watch it plummet if they don't know to get out in time...Friends look at all the bubbles and the recant real estate bubble ! Everyone was buying and they were all experts just before it started it's 6 year crash now !..The differences with gold and silver is that this will be sudden..So be ready.. Keep in mind the global money powers will make HUGE fortunes on this 1.Dollar dive (currently going on ) and 2. Golds stellar assent 3.Golds wicked crash 4.The IQD revalue or appreciation. This is how it is done folks..we just need to be thankful and patient...I mean look at it this way..We could have been born in Cambodia and live in poverty all our life...or we can be thankful right where we are at..even if this thing never happens.... Ok..well that's a view i wanted to share with you all... Let's all just bless our divine spirits and God if you will...and just make sure that we are being the best and highest blessing we can be...right where we are at now !.. Blessings all...

This is a very good point..maybe the best one yet ! Thanks

The ISX is all IQD's .As your stocks go up so do your dinar holdings..so it is a great way to hold dinars IMHO I feel the ISX will go up 100-200% THIS YEAR ! Big money is just now testing the waters..you're in the right place ..just be patient..then after the RV the ISX will go to the moon..The entire world will hear about it "AFTER THE FACT"..haha..believe big... Ps 'I wrote some post about the ISX in case you want to learn more ,just go to my profile and go thru the posts.. Blessings all..

hey I'm all in with you bro !! I can hear the Beatles tune "Let it be,,let it beee "..haha blessings all

yea !! and just wait till the BIG international money moves in..The ISX will be the talk of the world..mark my words..This thing is going to the moon!! RV or no RV !! get in now!

Hi Brent, Iv'e been with Rabee since Nov. 2010.Very happy..They put me in some stocks that have gone over 50 and 80% since Nov.They are already telling to sell some of the high flyers and hold in cash for now.So i think they are worth their weight in gold..oopss..I meant Dinars..haha.. They are also already positioning me for some stocks that are going be become trading again soon at very attractive valuations.. These are the kind of people I like to be with..u get my drift... They told me the same thing and i said ok..but I wired them less and they accepted it with no complaints... Just so you know.. I feel these guys will be the movers and shakers when this thing really takes off..I think we are going to see 100-200% gains this year on the ISX. Blessings

Ver 2-10-5 1 The Opportunity In the 1990’s there was a chance to invest in Russia when the RTS index was at 100, now it is at 1400, even after the 2008 market crash. Today, a similar opportunity is about to unfold… Iraq  Huge potentials for post-war reconstruction with high GDP growth expected.  Potential to overtake Saudi Arabia as the world’s largest oil producer.  Value of oil reserves approximately USD 9 trillion at an oil price of $80.  Majority of oil revenues goes to the Iraqi government.  Iraq’s stock market capitalization is $2.5bn – which equals 1% of Russia’s or 0.8% of Saudi Arabia’s.  Market Cap/GDP below 4%. Neighboring countries has a Market Cap/GDP of over 80%.  Fully operational stock market with 90 listed companies.  Stock market largely untouched by international investors but 2 for how long…? Iraq Once home to ancient Mesopotamia, the territory currently making up Iraq was part of the Ottoman Empire from the sixteenth century onwards until WWI when it was occupied by Britain under the mandate system. Britain granted independence to the then Iraqi Kingdom in 1932 but the monarchy was overthrown in 1958 by a military coup d'état. In 1968 the Arab nationalist Ba’ath Party gained power through a coup, and in 1979 Saddam Hussein came into power and ruled Iraq as president until the war in 2003. Following the allied invasion a new transitional government was sworn in. In 2005, a draft constitution was approved by referendum and elections for a full-term parliament were held. Despite a major spike in violence in 2006-07, security conditions have improved and provincial elections held in 2009 were relatively smooth. Successful national elections where held in March of 2010 and the process of government formation is underway.  Total Area: 438,317 sq. km (at par with Spain)  Natural Resources: Oil, gas, phosphates, sulfur, arable land  Government type: parliamentary democracy  Population: 30 million  Population growth: 2.5%  Demographics: 39% under age of 14  Ethnic groups: Arab 75%-80%, Kurdish 15%-20%, Turks, Assyrian, and other 5%  Literacy rate: 74%  School life expectancy: 10 years 3 Enormous Potential There are few frontier markets as exciting as Iraq. The country has 115bn barrels (bbl) of proven oil reserves, the third-largest in the world (Canada’s reserves are mainly oil sands that are expensive to operate). Iraq is a low-cost producer that is located near major Asian and European markets. Source: EIA, CIA 4 Oil is the key In 10 years time, Iraq could potentially be the worlds largest oil producer  According to Energy Information Administration (EIA), the cluster of super-giant oil fields of south-eastern Iraq forms the largest known concentration of such deposits in the world and accounts for 70-80% of the country’s proven oil reserves.  When it comes to oil, Iraq’s land is the least explored country in this oil-rich part of the Middle East. Estimates of Iraq’s proven and probable oil reserves range from 200bn to 300bn bbl which matches the resources of Saudi Arabia.  Due to underinvestment, wars and sanctions, just a fraction of Iraq’s known fields are in production. Iraq has the lowest production-to-reserves ratio of major oil-producing countries, suggesting a huge upside potential.  Current production is at 2.5m barrels per day (bpd), but the government is targeting a production of 6m bpd in the next 3-4 years. BP estimates that oil production in 2020 could reach 10m bpd. Several oil licensing rounds have been held in 2009 and 2010. Notable oil sharing agreements have been made with BP and CNPC for the development of the Rumaila oil field. When developed, this field alone could double current oil production. Increased oil production could raise GDP by 50% in the next 5 years according to IMF, OPEC, Global Insight and Business Monitor estimates 5 Oil Comments... “BP has committed to Iraq despite the oil law not being finalised, and we are confident that we have a great opportunity”. Tony Hayward, Group CEO of BP told Gulf News at the World Economic Forum. “It was made very clear to us by the Iraqi government that we had to choose between investing in the main part of Iraq, or in Kurdistan. We chose Iraq:, said Hayward. Earlier he spoke to a session on sustainable energy supply of the importance of BP’s plans in Iraq, which he expects will grow from one million barrels a day (bpd) to three million bpd in the next ten years. “We expect total production from Iraq to increase to 10 million bpd by 2020. All the current plans shown more is possible, but 10 million bpd is realistic, “ he said. The importance of Iraq as a source of new supply is in the context of world demand for energy growing from the present 85 million bpd to 100 million bpd by 2050, and in an industry which thinks in 20 to 30 year projects, this does not leave much time”. Peter Vosser, CEO of Royal Dutch Shell agree with these global numbers and said to achieve this target, the combined oil industry will need to invest $27 trillion (roughly the sum that all the governments of the world have spent to save the world’s financial system)”. 6 -Gulf News, Friday, Jan 29, 2010 Iraq Stock Exchange = Less than 1% of Exxon Mobil  Iraq holds 115bn bbl of oil reserves, Stock Exchange Market Cap (bn USD) produces 2.5m bpd (and increasing) and it’s stock market capitalization is $2.5bn. As a comparison, Exxon Mobile holds 450 around 20bn bbl of oil reserves, produces 400 4m bpd and is valued at $350bn...! 350 300  Iraq Stock Exchange (ISX) market 250 capitalization equals less than 1% of Saudi 200 Arabia’s despite almost matching Saudi oil 150 reserves. 100 50  Iraqi listed securities are: 0 Under valued vs. Iraqi history Under valued vs. neighboring countries Under valued vs. oil reserves & economy The numbers in brackets indicate size of the stock market vs. Iraq 7 Iraq Stock Exchange - ISX The growing consensus of asset mangers in Iraq is that the ISX market capitalization will grow 3 times in 3 years and 10-20 times in 10 years.  Turnover $1-3m per day, trading 5 days a week  Nasdaq/OMX trading system  No restriction on foreign ownership  No taxes on profits  Dow Jones to create a new stock market index  Banks, media and telecom IPOs expected in 2011. One telecom company alone is expected to double market capitalization  Untouched by foreign investors 8 Source: Rabee Securities Iraq Stock Exchange - ISX Sectors by Market Cap Sectors by Traded Volume Tourism & Investments 1% Hotels Agriculture Services Agriculture 4% Investments 1% 3% 1% Services 4% 5% Industry 12% Industry Touris 8% m& Hotels 14% Banks 69% Banks 78% 9 Source: Godvig Capital Management Corp Economy  High GDP growth of 5-10% expected  Inflation tamed below 5%  Debt levels close to zero  Iraqi Dinar has appreciated since 2007 and is expected to continue to do so 10 Source: IMF Stat 2008 Economy Key macro indicators are positive with reduced debt levels, inflation in single digits and strong GDP growth. 11 Source: IMF, Central Bank of Iraq, BAS-ML estimates Risk  Since 2007 the security situation in Iraq has improved and the number of casualties have dropped dramatically. This new found stability has led to a framework of functioning government and a more attractive business climate. Security continues to be a big issue and the withdrawal of allied troops, scheduled for 2011, is a potential risk.  Other potential flashpoint are: the distribution of oil wealth, the autonomous Kurdistan, ethnic and secretarian violence and the power of central government.  The economy is heavily dependant on oil. It is three times more sensitive to oil price changes than Russia.  The stock exchange is relatively transparent but company and counterparty risk levels are high and blow ups can occur. Portfolio diversification will try to mitigate these circumstances.  In case of a break down of the country the stock market will probably be closed down and the pricing mechanism might not work for a period of time.  The daily volume on the stock market is low, $1-3m per day, and it will be difficult to liquidate positions quickly in a poor market environment.

Well ..I did talk to the CEO of Rabee securities about the dinar. a month ago.He said that it is ridiculously under valued and that it really needs to appreciate in value. he also said the entire " Eyes of the investment world " are watching and waiting to come into Iraq..So I say buy some stocks and hold on for the ride of a lifetime...yehaaa !!!
