Well done and very informational. Hope the assumptions are as valid as the proceedures.

O be true!

I think that sounds like they are working on that today. It's impressive that they are working on a Saturday. It's encouraging to our goal that they might be "fast tracking" this on a deadline.

I can only stand in awe of the courage and dedication of our valiant armed services.

Perhaps this is like the talking dog- it's not what it says, but that talks at all!

drying up? Or maybe dying is in extinct? Or even dyeing as in coloring them green?

Rumors are by nature uncertain information. Uncertainty begets anxiety. Throw the expectation of big money and you get high anxiety. It's a miracle there is any civility at all in these rumor threads. Additionally there is the likelihood that many of these rumors aren't actually rumors, but disinformation intended to solicit a specific response- either buying more dinars, or as we have seen lately, selling back one's dinars for a loss. These "rumors" have gotten so blatant that readers are abandoning rational scepticism for angry cynicism. I'm trying to recall a rumor I've seen in the last month that seemed to "ring true". The report of celebratory gunfire that might have been due to a RV ( and later learned was not) was the only one I can think of. Can anyone recall other "legit" rumors (not that they necessarily turned out to be true) but didn't begin as outright lies?

Intell as juicy as this merits a full 15 minute "building my own Zepplin" daydream. Then back to work.

Could jon & snickers wait in the hall next time?

The loss of this courageous young woman does indeed strike close to home- Deer Park is just down the road from me. I would encourage all to donate time, effort and even dinars to help fight this disease. Last week I gave all my hair (what's left of it) in a St.Baldricks headshaving event to raise money for childhood cancer research. Together we can win this battle!

I truly don't wish to minimise the efforts that went into finding the article but I wonder how relevant it actually is to an RV of the currency. If it is central to a successful RV, wouldn't it have been disclosed by now? Or at least used as an excuse why the RV didn't happen on any given Monday? If it is relevant- what other 800 pound gorillas are lurking in the mist?

OK, if you know for certain that this effort is bogus, what are you doing here? Why hang around- and why would you care if we fools bash you? Is this something you just discovered? It just doesn't sound right- or real. I think the time of the Anti-pumper has come: the Dumper.

I saw somewhere else that the lower denominations are now in use and causing problems because prices on the street haven't changed. The higher (000s) bills are getting scarce and vendors don't like to take bundles of LDs- so they give a discount to payers with HDs and charge extra for excepting LDs. You'd think if this were the case we would have some pictures.

I think I saw in another place that the 'Spring Break" had been reduced to 5 days.

never mind.

Let's say that at the time of RV I have some physical dinar and some on reserve.Can I pay the balance on the reserved dinar and cash in at the same time- or better yet, have the outstanding balance deducted from the cash in amount?

I suppose I could quote tjmunson's original post and keepm's too for that matter and eat up nearly a page right there, but in the interest of civility I'll meander directly to my prediction: I think it will RV at well over $2.00 and possibly up to 3.50. My reason has nothing to do with total dinars in circulation or barrels of oil in the ground, in the pipes or at sea. And while Mr. Shabibi has reams of data and spreadsheets for all contingencies I think it will come down to a very human calculation: How good does Iraq feel about itself at this moment in time- and at the time the trigger is to be pulled Mr. Shabibi will certainly be feeling good about Iraq's future.

So if Higg's particles start popping up in the HLC it could be because someone in the future or past (most likely themselves a week ago or a week from now) blasted a proton and got lucky? Cool. The perfect grant- they could collect as three different experimenters.

Is it too soon for Yippie!?

This forum is quickly loosing relevance.

The transcript shows the time of the conversation to be 10 PM so the "tonight" mentioned would have been last night. Could that have been the Forex hanky-panky we saw? Unless the whole posting was a joke- it's getting a little hard to tell around here.

These "funny" headlines- although sometimes witty, are getting tedious.

Hillarious is in Egypt, maybe she could drop by for a little friendly arm twisting.

Thank you for doing the legwork on this.

I hope Assistant Secretary Jeffrey Feltman can speak softly...
