Well, all-righty then!

I don't understand what you mean. You said 8/27, 8/28, 8/29 were the dates. What do you mean when you say "and u do see that those are different dates, right?" That does not make sense to me. Different than what? Please explain. Those dates have passed with no RV.

Navira, Are these the dates, or are there different dates? I'm just trying to figure out your posts. You do know that when you post, it stays on the internet permanently, right? 8/27/17: O8/27, 08/28, and 08/29. Those are the dates revealed to me. Pray that iam right. Later

Right!

I am having questionable thoughts about this too.

Navira, What about this post on 8/17/17: ..... went to the park with my father and to walk our dog...also did a prayer there. As we were on our way to buy siopao, a voice (Lord) said to me that a man will approach to me and ask for a change. I got to the store and bought some siopaos for me n my father. When i exited out, a man approached to me and ask for some change. I gave him a dollar...i was left with 62 cents from the change i got from buying siopaos. Now, get this, i dont know if u had seen my post bout dinar being 1.69usd/dinar. This is saying to me that a dinar will have that rate of 1.62/.69. The bank will offer 69 cents..and they(banks)get to keep the dollar. Later

Navira, You posted this on the 27th. " By tuesday u will have been happy, if not happiest,. Later for now." What happened? I'm not all that happy today.

Oh no! Could this be where the damn "float theory" comes in? Start at 5 cents and then wait another 10 or 15 years for it to get where you want it? Arrrrrrg!

A rate of 5 cents would be hugely disappointing, but if the above article is true, that would be it.

It's another dinar site where people post articles and comment on the articles, like here.

"3. The entry and exit of the Iraqi currency shall be restricted to and from Iraq only by the authorized limits of (200000) two hundred thousand Iraqi Dinars." It's 5 cents per dinar, as figured by someone on PD, after reading the article, 4 hours ago. You are allowed to carry $10,000 in other countries without declaring it, but only 200,000 dinars in Iraq. In other words, 200,000 dinars at 5 cents each = $10,000, same amount as in other countries.

I'm surprised no one is commenting on this. Looks like a big deal to me.

Me too! I liked Zebari. What a disappointment. I like Abadi too. I hope he's good guy. Yes, it's looking more and more like 2018. Hopefully, January 1st.

Today's map - 8/25/17 Making progress!

""The government will announce a plan during the coming days when the military operations are completed and the land of Iraq is liberated from Da'ash," al-Harithi said." The security forces are making significant progress in Tal Afar:

"…You need to be acutely aware that the currency we are currently holding wasn’t used for travel. It was bought distinctly and absolutely for one purpose and that was for an investment. And because it was treated that way and the way it is written in regards to currencies, it is not going to be treated as capital gains." I thought an investment you buy and hold for at least a year is treated as long-term capital gains. No?

"It has to be a redenomination in country, a note swap a trading of large notes with little value for small notes with a Lot of value. A neutral event, for them. The exchange rate will go up accordingly. The dinar as a unit of currency will be worth .83 or whatever the rate is. And whatever the rate is on forex, that is the rate that will be applied to the dinar....." Thanks, everyone for your replies. Mr. Unlikely you are saying it has to be a redenomination in country, but OUR notes don't get redenominated? Our notes stay at 25,000 while in Iraq they change to 25? That's not fair to the Iraqi people. I think they would revolt, if that was the case. I guess the truth is that no one really knows what will happen. We are all making educated guesses by what we hear and read. I just hope we don't have to go on for more years like this. Seven years have been more than enough for me. I don't know how others have done it for 14 years. I hope Iraq makes us all happy soon.

Thanks, Mylilpony. I certainly agree with you about Frank, using religion in not-so-good a way. I'm not so sure about the dinar though. In Kuwait, each citizen gets a salary from the government and hardly anyone works. They import all their workers from other countries. In Iraq, everyone who can do it is going to have to work to rebuild the whole place. It is true that for a redenomination they need to replace all the old notes with new notes. Maybe, since the people don't trust the banks, they will give them 2 years to turn in their money and the CBI will give them 10 years. While redenomination will not change the value of their money, an immediate reinstatement to $3.00 (or thereabouts) will give them a lot more purchasing power. If this horrible redenomination does actually happen, they will announce it in advance before they do it. I just hope it doesn't happen because we will be screwed if we only get 3x our money. I understand that the average DV member holds 2,000 to 5,000 dinar. If you are the average DV member, and have waited and followed this for so many years, would you be happy with $6,000 or $15,000? It's not even enough to buy you a new car.

Someone gave my son a pair of the recommended glasses. He said they are sooooooo dark that you can't even walk with them on, let alone drive with them.

Fortunately, I happened to go to the eye doctor last week for an eye exam. While there, I said I know we are not supposed to look at the eclipse without the special glasses, but I can glance at it, right? He said "Definitely, NO". Do not even glance at it! The retina feels no pain. People will not realize they have done any damage until it's too late. He said that even though, here in Florida, we will not see the whole thing, but just a crescent shape - that crescent shape will be burned into your retina. He said he is expecting to see lots of people with problems, (in his office) a day or two after the solar eclipse. I did not hear such dire warnings on TV, although they did say not to try to take pictures with your phone because it will ruin the lens. I know that the schools here are taking extra precautions and not letting the kids out for gym or sports. Some schools are keeping the kids until after the total eclipse is over. BE CAREFUL, EVERYBODY!

Thanks, Luigi, but I think the dinar is going to be treated the same way inside and outside Iraq. The only difference will be the exchange rate. Same as with any other country. Any other way would be totally unfair to the people of the country.

Thanks.

Someone on another dinar board said that it's going to be a big deal at the UN - special announcement, and all that.

You know what else I don't like about this? Remember they said the 25 dinar and the 25,000 dinar will exist "side by side" for 2 years (and 10 years at the CBI)? That always worried me that they were going to be worth the same amount. And now, after reading what Frank and Walking Stick have to say, the "exist side by side" thing is upsetting. It only makes sense if there is a redenomination. So redenomination AND reinstatement ($3 or more) goes along with the exist side by side thing. I know I'm the type of person that worries about everything. I hate being this way. I wish I could just take a day at a time, like normal people.

I wish I could see it as you do, Davis. I see it as a waste of 7 years, sitting in front of a computer, not wanting to miss a thing. There are plenty of places we could have made 3x our money, over so many years, without following it every minute. Even the stock market has crossed 20,000 in the past few years. I wouldn't have been sitting at the computer following the stock market night and day. I hope Frank and company are wrong. If they are right (and Navira seems to think so) I'm going to be mighty depressed.
