The Original Spike

Let's hope so... I'm for one about to go to bed and hope to wake up and see news Santa visited during the night, but if not, I will continue to check and go on with what needs to get done in my life for the day... I'm really at a point of "what ever". I have not given up, just not over optimistic... cautious more like it and ready to fall back into hybernation in this thing until otherwise shown to once again open the cave door of optimism... So, what will be will be...

My mother told my aunt several months ago about investment. She wanted to know more so I told her the pros and cons. With much hesitation, she talked me into investing her an my uncle, all be it a very small amount. She and my uncle do not follow these sites, so imagine my surprise when I got a call tonight asking to invest more for them. I asked do you mind telling me why? She stated she had heard something on CNN I believe, about the Iraqi currency soon to be regaining its former buying power and that it bodes well for the Iraqi people as well as for a the nation of Iraq to be able to move into the 21st century once again. I told her to check out DTs and DBs... DBs takes credit card orders from my understanding, but I would no longer be taking orders for the family. I then called a couple of my contacts and they were saying that yes, it seems to indeed be moving foward and will happen very soon, possibly tonight. With my extreme scepticism that I have developed as of late, all I can say is that I hope they are right. I've also heard from several sources that are saying it appears to possibly be coming in at over $4.00. Like I said before, I'll believe it when I see it... Signed, cautiously optimistic... Spike

Well frankly, the whole region is going nuts, no (MAD) here with Iran trying to get thicker in the mix. I watched a documentary today that showed Iran sending children in to clear mind fields and promised their families it was a direct path to (Paradise). They talked about a lot of things that were just sick and showed pictures of stoneings, hangings and how the hung women after rapeing them so they wouldn't make it into (Paradise). They have nuclear programs still going on all over Iran and are waiting to usher in this 12 Imam that is supposed to bring about the destruction of all infidels, i.e., me and you. They discussed EMP weapons and how feasible it would be to shut down Americas powergrid, putting us in the dark ages for years... I don't like the idea of dealing with the USSR or China, but maybe we should broker a deal to take Iran over and split their oil reserves 3 ways, while also implementing some type of compensation for the Iranians that want a democratic change. There are no MAD factors with Iran, they welcome the fact of nuclear annihilation, all would immediately be considered martyrs... You see, our power grid is integrated do to progress, where as China and the USSR remain fragmented because of lack of their advancements. Many of their vehicles don't depend on electronics as much as ours. These are the zealots that are on Iraqs border and they have vowed to bring about the US and Israeli destruction. Scary stuff for folks that look foward to being able to push the (button) just to get things started, not to mention all their terrorist cells across the world, backed by their oil money. We need to see this RI/RV soon... Or we will most probably see kaos on a scale never seen before... oil wells are easier to cap on glass by the way... MAD= Mutual assured destruction by the way... and 3rd worlders owning them is just ludicrous...

I guess we're getting close to do or die time... Come on RV!!!

These fluctuations are normal... I've seen the IDQ as low as 1138 at one point. The fact remains until the IDQ actually becomes live, the forex means squat in reference to our investment. I just want to see it actively traded. I am waiting to see the number at least come in, over night, at one to one. I think this would still be way too low because of the buying frenzy on the currency that will insue do to the speculation on their natural resources. I'm still thinking when it does happen, no matter if it is precieved as unrealistic, I believe we will see it around the mid $3 dollar range. Just my thoughts, but like I've said before, nothing seems to make sense in this whole thing up to this point.

Hehehe... yup, and I got extra if ya need some... I will follow this line as well...

Good... Make them sweat...

FDR and "The New Deal" all over again... don't think they will get the gold this time around, even if they make it a crime to not to turn it in like they did back in the day... It's how we still have some of those older, rare gold coins still floating around. Do as the Romans and civil war folks did, bury it... LOL.... It's really not funny, but some times you just have to laugh at the absurdness our govt. plan to put us through...

I think it's more towards March first we are sweating.... But you're right, all we can do is wait and watch to see what happens...

You know, its really crazy how our country started, with govt. officials started out with no, or very little financial competition for holding office to represent the people. It's crazy how that has turned from a great honor to safeguarding the peoples best interest to fleecing the people. Oh, and as far as the world currency, just look how well the Euro has done and how many countries still use their own in the EU as well as the Euro... Yeah, that will work out just great...

I really hope so. I remember there being speculation that the WTO, UN, backed by the US were going to force an RI/RV... It sure would be in the countries best interest... Not just ours or theirs, but the worlds as it would seem....

So do you think Maliki is going to take the money and run? What does that mean for us and our investment? Can and will an RV still happen? That is if Maliki is ousted... Will Shabs step up? Where does that leave our current progress and the newly formed govt?

Just a bad day emmet... I read today instead of procrastination, escape plans... among a few other things unrelated. Like I said earlier, sorry for the rant, trying to get positive attitude again. I just don't like to see this thing looking to take to a backsliding direction as opposed to a stagnant place, or small steps foward. We have seen the biggest movement ever in Iraqs history towards being a free nation, granted, but it's about a 50/50 with positive vs very negative on the movement... here's to hoping... As of current news that is...

Amen Nitro... I bought my lotto tickets, with better odds, a while back... I (((((DON'T))))) like to lose!!! Therefore I will sit on this thing until A) it hatches, becomes a permanent part of my arse, or C) My dinar quite literally turn to dust. I just really don't like seeing people play with matches around gasoline on hot days. Especially when my friends and family ate gathered around to have a Bar-B-Q... Yes, things still look relatively positive on this thing going foward and reason tells (Most) that it has to because of all the variables. I'm not giving up, just a bit angry about (ALL) of my friends and family that have fought and died or came home maimed for the US to just let this thing linger... Yeah, the world is counting on this and need it... And??? I've seen chickens taught to count at fairs, but all I see with that act is a good fried chicken dinner... They better put those Ivy league degrees to work or... oh yeah, they all have escape plans... Makes one wounder...

WOW!!! Deductive reasoning has been (NO) help on figuring out the path of this investment.... Common sense, (phish..), please... We all know that this thing should have already gone down, no matter how high or how low we think the new currency value should be, months ago. There should also be parades scheduled for the streets, not protest. 25th, protests rumored to be schuduled... Where's the glorious leader, ( In Kuait) and the flying confetti in the background? Can anyone say " Rodney King" on a much grander scale???? If this thing, the RV, does not happen soon, may God help all the innocents that get caught up in the middle of this thing, not to mention another very long wait for our investment to come through, if ever, if this is allowed to continue down this path. We are now privy to having front row seats for watching the test car speed towars the wall of Iraqs future, lets hope the car has airbags.... We have more of an interest than most, because we have also invested our hard earned money for these seats. I am still hoping for a party, not an exicution, but the lights seem to be dimming and there is that awful, looming... It feels like the calm before the storm, or tornado... I could be wrong, but they have until the Arab summit... I still have hope, although getting a bit cloudy... The direction this whole political show is pushing itself to be viewed by the world is making our investment look more like a bet than an investment. Lagistics still being in our favor mind you... No admittence into WTO without a tradable currency!!!! NO ADMITTENCE INTO WTO WITHOUT TRADABLE CURRENCY!!!!! Bunch of posturing idiots....... Tell ya what, instead of putting our men and women back in to bring about the peace, yet again... lets do an air drop of all the addresses of all the political officials involved in this fiasco and wait a couple of weeks before once again trying to give the Iraqi people a chance to move away from the dark ages and form a democracy... I'm telling you what, if we don't see the trigger pulled by the Arab summit, then when???? Sorry, I'm a bit nasty today.... Thoughts, perspective and enlightenment are appreciated... Thank you for enduring my rant...

.... .... ... ... ... ... ((((((GOOD STUFF!!!)))))))

How much you got? Bet you could sell it here and almost break even! What I'm saying is that we are so close to opening our Birthday present and getting cake and icecream, that I'm sure someone would love to negotiate your part away from you if you no longer can wait for the time to have the party and open the gifts.

SIG P229 w/ extender clip... Hydroshocks... ankled S&W Chief Special... cost? around $1200.00 bucks, piece of mind, priceless...

Yesh... I must agree... kinda like the pony I was promised as a kid and never got... oh well, tomorrow is another chance for it to move foward and today is not over for them yet. Ready for the bigtop music to stop my own self...

Ooooooo, SNAP!!! Thank you for playing, and please come back again...

Money, money, money, money... show us the money!

Yes Mr Watson, I do believe you to be correct in this statement...

I guess I need to get in good with your family!

I prefer to believe the higher denoms will be phased out... I guess we wait and see...

Ready for it, don't care... We have made 'NO' advances since Reagan left the office. Just my observation and perspective. Slam at will, but those are my observations... My father was with the Secret Service. And by the way, taking your gold is not a new concept, FDR did it back in the day of the Great Depression... Look it up... We could be in a worse place than they were. Of you question this mode of thought, ask yourself how many in your family knows how to can food or have their own garden. Even during the Great Depression, over 85% of the people had a way to supplement their own food supply.
