The Original Spike

No prob tandy... I agree, we wait and see...

I really don't feel like posting this, but will pass it on anyway. If you will notice, I have stopped posting so much, first, because my info streams have been silent, secondly, I have become more pessimistic and am really trying not to be negative. This being said, I got a call from one of my buddies in Tulsa last night. He told me one of the American Airlines contractors to their base, who is also a driver for his company, has contracts in Iraq also. He told them there was an in-country RV going on right now. I told my buddy not to hold his breathe because I believe we would all be seeing it if it were true. He told me that if this guy is making stuff up, with all the folks invested at the base, that if he was lieing, I would probably be hearing about an asault at the base, on the news here shortly...LOL... I personally think this info is crap, but I hope there is movement, none-the-less... Remember, it is a (((RUMOR))) until it hits the CBI, Forex and xe... That's when I'll start getting happy. Anyway, here's to holding my breathe...

Gave ya a plus brother, thanks for the post.

Now that would be interesting...

LOL... Greece has been financially in trouble for quite some time now. Europeans in general have shorter work weeks and longer vacation structures mandated by the different countries dealing in the use of the euro. Standard VC is a month to a month and a half! You don't work up to this, you start out with it! LOL, it's regarded as a human right... LOL... Cut their VC time and start on the road to fixing their financial, downward spiral... Oh, it wouldn't work, the masses would start a rebellion... LOL... Maybe the RV can be a catalyst to helping the worlds economies, but unless their is major restructuring, by all nations, including our own, it will be nothing more than that fairy tale of the Dutch kid trying to save Holland by plugging holes in the dyke with his fingers as other holes pop up. Eventually that kid is going to run out of fingers... and toes...

Thanks TNT... And even those that are not Christians should be able to see what's coming next... The cashless society... Fact: Obama, pushed by Kissenger signed into legislation and made a governmental mandate for all US citizens to be "chipped", for financial purposes, medical, ect... (Hmmmmm) by 2016. Google it. It has been kept quiet, but was pushed through by being an add-on to other legislation... Scary stuff indeed... And with our money system being crashed, how easy would this transition actually be???

It was made illegal to own. Oh, and first they take away our right to trade futures... Then what comes next? Just say'in... Pushes never end with a first shove... It always escalates... Again, look at history. The smart folks burried their gold...

I can't either... I don't know why you're getting negatives, I gave you a plus to off-set, but then you got another one...LOL. Wrong forum topic, but I agree none the less.

A sad example... I went to my coffee house today and came across a large group of college professors discussing our economic state. I couldn't help interjecting a comment when one had noticed I was looking over a Forex board. We started talking and I brought up the law going into effect. I was told it was to protect the law would help our country by getting yahoos out of the system that didn't know what they were doing and had no business playing in the markets in the first place. The individual stated that the right to trade in the open markets should be left to those who were degreed in higher finance. I asked him was he an economics professor, he stated why yes, smugly, then asked how did I deduce this. I told him I had guessed by his arrogant statement. The law allows us to gamble, it's our money, it's our country. I didn't need some over educated blow-hard telling me how I should be limited on how I should be able to spend my money. I also told him that those that don't have the mixture to do, often teach and to take away one right always leads to more being taken. I then left and took my coffee with me. It just goes to show you, that many of the arrogant, self-obsorbed blow-hards may be well educated, but many lack any common-sense. I went outside and another group of older and younger folks asked me what I said to the college professors to make them so angry, I summed up the new law and they immediately lost interest, they said since it didn't have anything directly to do with them, that it didn't matter to them. They said they would probably never have used a personal investment tool anyway. I stated that if they eventually changed their mind, it would most probably be too late anyway. The governments of history have always started with taking the small things first, and the people would always say, "well, it doesn't effect me, so... So-what." Little things turn into more little things being gone until finally it does become something that matters. Any rights taken is a catalyst to something else being taken away that will eventually effect all individuals. Then it's too late. Benjamin Franklin stated he would rather have freedom than to give to any rights for personal security. I agree. Bad things tend to grow as they roll down the hill and gain momentum. The ball has already been pushed down the hill. Liberty or death... Sheep or mavricks, we are at the door my friends. I don't know if we own enough buckets to catch all the water from the leaky roof... We need a complete overhaul, and there is too much resistance from our leaders...

yep... Electoral system... Created because, "We The People", are to stupid to think for ourselves... Sarcasm, if you couldn't tell... But it is what most of "them" believe about me and you...

WOW!!! And the plot thickens.... No new deal in sight... Yeah, FDR set presidence, confiscating gold and silver by making it illegal to for American citizens to own will come next... Corruption against "We the People" knows no bounds. We are dealing with corruption... The government has become its own entity, here to mainly represent its own agendas and special interests, scary stuff. The people need to remove the blinders, but I'm thinking it may be to late, even if the information was made public. The government has been doing things under the table for quite some time.... It's sad really... I don't even know what to say about where I think we seem to be going as a country, and it is really to bad, because we do have so many really good people here, left in the US. Unfortunately, we have many that a bullet would be a waist of resources to eliminate as well... All I can say is WOW... but, unfortunately, I'm not surprised...

I hope the jackwad that got a hold of some of my personal info and launched attacks on my personal e-mail didn't do the same to scooter... Mmmmm... God bless, and good luck scooter, we'll miss your input.

It's a good thing. Any US dollars not spent will be transferred over to a holdings account. No more tax payer funds being deposited from US in an on-going DFI fund. They will have to do something with their own currency soon, one would think... Good post!

... Me too...

Well... It's officially Fri. now, so.... Maybe he meant Sat.??? LOL!!!! Or... next Thursday....

Once it hits the Forex and becomes tradeable on the open market, any bank that exchanges international currency will exchange it. That is pretty much all of them.

I tried not to chime in, but the answer to your question happens to be that many of us would hope that their claim to having ties to Christianity would also translate into having a foundation that was in-tune with having more than just a basic understanding of moral and ethical concepts. I agree, many "Christian" factions give the rest of us and our beliefs a bad name, hence my embrace of the personal relationship comes into play. Physical law dictates that something that exist does not ever cease to exist, but instead, changes form. I don't believe your consciousness just dissipates once your body dies. I guess we will all have to wait and see, thank God, He did not make me a preacher man... Although, if that's where He decided to empassion me... I would do what I was led to do... As far as George goes, well, let's just say I never believed him anyway. I don't send preachers that own a couple of jets money either... LOL... So anyway, I hold two degrees and am a Christian... I wouldn't consider myself to be an intellectual giant, but I don't consider myself stupid either. I also actually don't follow instructions very well either if I'm told as apposed to being asked when being directed to preform a task. In other words, I don't do docile sheep well... LOL Agreed... Forex, xe, CBI, ext......

I'm not hating cashman, I'm just saying don't be stupid about it and leverage your house on a bet. This goes with "playing the market", or any type of other investment. You don't put out what you can't afford to lose, or sit on. Their is always a calculated risk, or gamble with any investment. Just ask the folks on here that have been waiting for "years" for this thing to pop. If people buy in expecting this thing to go tomorrow, or the next day... Chances are, they are using money they can't afford to put on the line. Don't bet the grocery money, or the rent for this thing to go down in any precieved, calculated time frame, because like I said, people have been guessing on the dates for years now. They, I can only hope the dividend it pays out was worth the wait. I'm just saying be smart about it. You will most probably thank yourself for utilizing discretion later. If you take a second morgage out on your house and it happens by the end of June, your golden. If you took it out expecting it to happen at the end of June and it doesn't, and your now stuck with a house payment you can't afford, you made a bad choice. I'm just saying be smart is all.

I totally agree! I have been lightly invested for a couple of years, and then a bit more around December. I have been watching this site since around December... I think we are closer than we have ever been, but I also think we have hit do, or die. I just am tired of seeing it's done, or it will show up tomorrow and then nothing... I'll be like a kid at Christmas when this thing finally gets done... and so will my creditors, LOL, and ex... Who is MSN/Bing? Profile blocked... News folks? Until I see a change on the Forex and xe sites, I will continue to be moderately sceptical, or cautions about getting my hopes up. And we know it didn't happen today, because xe is showing 1165.1000 to 1US. Nuff said for todays forecast...

Don't buy more on my predictions translates into buy more... Look, Iraq's 46million dollar a month allowance is getting cut off at the end of the month, i.e. the IMF will supposedly stop paying them our tax money. I personally expected this thing to go down back around Dec., buying into the hype they would need their own currency to get back on their feet and start acting like a "real", independent country. I will wait and watch. The end of June brings about a lot of things that "WILL" expire as far as hand outs for Iraq goes unless more extensions are negotiated. It's like watching kids on the playground fighting over toys, but on a much grander scale. They need to get it right this time, by June, or they're taking more than a few steps backwards. The gurus are betting on what makes the most sense, the end of June. The world has been waiting for Iraq to do things that make sense, financially and on their infrastructure. Iraq has not done what would seem to be doing what most would precieve to be the most prudent and logical moves. Strategy... Maybe it's to change what is recognized as the internationally recognized petrol dollar, i.e., the U.S. dollar for the Euro, or a new oil currency created in a basket of middle eastern countries, who knows. What I do know is if this doesn't transpire by the end of June, we most likely might as well be holding on to middle eastern bottles of sand. Oh, and so far, Iraq has never done what would seem to make sense... A reality check, but here's for hoping they do what makes sense for a change. So nubes, don't go running out to buy some more dinar at "the last minute", we've been doing it for years, just spend what you would be comfortable taking to Vegas.

Like an oil-derek... pump-pump-pump.....

I've only really stayed in this forum...with the exception being news sites and currency sites... I wounder how fast I cold get banned over there... hehehe... hmmmm... Maybe I should take Keep, DinarThug and a few others over with me.... We would have to have ground rules as to keep it civil and just state the facts... oh this could be loads of fun... A CONTEST!!!! Hehehe...

Agreed len.

I dished out some +1's!!! I don't want their souls either hitmam, but like you, I wouldn't mind making their wallets a bit less heavy!

Still relevant...
