  1. Renewed Friday night, 8/7/15. Still getting "expired" email. Has cleared bank.
  2. It wont let me sign in to order says no such e-mail. I know it is the right e-mail. I am signed in already but when i order it wants me to resign in and when i try it says my email address is wrong.
  3. In The neck of the woods where I grew up we have pink piggies. They have Hogs for poppas too. Then they grow up and become RED Razorbacks. Watch out what you do to agravate the little Piggie; it might just come back to bite you or haunt you, maybe even hunt you! Always figured, "take good care of the piggie and it will take care of you."
  4. Looks like a major step Forward esp since I learned what I have because I did not like something. (The reference to "250,500 JD currency".) So I employeed Google. "JD Currency came up primarily meaning Jordanian Dinar, but I could not see Iraq pegging it's currency against one of their historic foes. So I looked farther. I found articles dating beyond 1850 where the term "JD Currency" was used. In all cases it simply meant they would be replacing paper denominations of a certain size with a coin. As recently as September 15, 2010 Jordan replaced their 1JOD bill with a coin and promised to do the same with the 50JOD paper Currency. Currently Iraq has "Uncirculated" coins in the denomination of 50 and 100 IQD and the addition of 250 and 500 Dinar coins would be natural due to the complaints of fraility of the paper currency and it's expense to replace. This has not been a problem as long as the USD was the standard currency but with the transfer to the IQD as primary and required currency it is an issue. Keep in mind: 1JOD = 1.405USD Therefore to say the use of coins does away with the concept of an RV is not a valid argument!!! Even countries with a high exchange rate are going to Coins. Even the US at one time had "high value coins" in their currency system. The plan all the time is to eventually not have the "large bills" out there. This would allow for a Total Coin and bank credit financial system. As Grandpa used to say, "They are just getting their ducks in a row." or in this case their Dinars.
  5. 35 days from today is September 02. On September 02, 1955 my parents were united in marriage.
  6. All those who understand the law of abundance understand giving through gratitude brings more. Any one who hordes to themselves is destined to unhappiness and lack because they are living in an attitude of lack.
  7. Love it!!! Have you ever noticed congress is never included in any Healthcare or social security "reform"? I have a friend which works for the VA and is always telling me, "If you want Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, VA benefits, or other "government" program fixed just make all elected officials, congressmen, senators, all the way to presidents automatically part of these programs. Remove the 'special' programs for civil servants and let them be servants." How many employees in America would like to tell the company owners, aka "boss", what they wanted in their benefits package, what they were going to pay for it and it would remain in force after being fired, laid-off, and for the dependants of the deceased? I don't think any corporate America businesses would go along with it. Do not misunderstand! I am a full supporter of all we can do for our military, inactive (for what ever reason ie. but not limited to disability), retired, and/or active!! In fact I do not think we honor and protect them in enough. I am simply saying, it is easier to spend someone else's money than spend one's owns. Thus, I would also add to Mr. Buffett by saying, "When congress approves a budget with a built-in deficit let the balance come out of their portion of the budget." Bring back the age of accountability. We expect it of our children, ourselves, and even our animals, but when one is elected to public office we seem to exempt them and even give them the power to make laws which make us accountable for them. Why should I be held accountable for the debt created by others concerning something I know nothing of or care about? What would the founding Fathers of America say?
  8. I see no news..... where is the news...... Why you want me to read this?
  9. Basically on May 18, 2011 it was agreed that there had been a failure of the cooperation of political blocks of the Iraq goverment and no further progress. They were at an impass. See this article as translated by google. The agreement to participate in the Arbil Agreement gives them the ability to break the stalemate and proceed move forward instead of backward. Like agreeing to be in agreement even when we dissagree. Thanks a bunch K98nights
  10. Does any understand what Scooter found??? 413 is a section on Hedge funds. Here is a copy of the Table of Contents concerning 413 TITLE IV—REGULATION OF ADVISERS TO HEDGE FUNDS AND OTHERS Sec. 401. Short title. Sec. 402. Definitions. Sec. 403. Elimination of private adviser exemption; limited exemption for foreign private advisers; limited intrastate exemption. Sec. 404. Collection of systemic risk data; reports; examinations; disclosures. Sec. 405. Disclosure provision amendment. Sec. 406. Clarification of rulemaking authority. Sec. 407. Exemption of venture capital fund advisers. Sec. 408. Exemption of and record keeping by private equity fund advisers. Sec. 409. Family offices. Sec. 410. State and Federal responsibilities; asset threshold for Federal registration of investment advisers. Sec. 411. Custody of client assets. Sec. 412. Adjusting the accredited investor standard. Sec. 413. GAO study and report on accredited investors. Sec. 414. GAO study on self-regulatory organization for private funds. Sec. 415. Commission study and report on short selling. Sec. 416. Transition period. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-111hr4173enr/pdf/BILLS-111hr4173enr.pdf According to Wikipedia a hedge fund is not done by a single investor as a single investor, rather it is done by a group (one or many) of investors to protect a larger group of investors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedge_fund This law was intended to protect prople who have funds, IRAs, and other investments as part of a group where a small # of people have control from having their monies placed in accounts where only the contollers will profit. This is to protect from the possibility of another Enron or even Bank groups from loosing while all the "big dog" investors make a fortune off the back of the little investor. This is why the "controller of such fund" must show income for 2 years of over $1,000,000. It also is intended to keep one or two people from cashing in the entire portfolio for the entire group and running with the money. I am not saying I am perfect but as I read this I do not see it as about us as private speculators. Now what it does address is those who are setting up companies and other "groups" for larger return or as an attempt to get a lower tax or greater return from gaining personally without spreading the benefit around to all the members of that group. I believe all the panic was created because this was taken out of its original context.
  11. What book????... Title, Author or something. We have to know what book you are talking about. Might read it if I knew.
  12. Don't expect to have 4 to 5 days advance notice. The US Treasury is not that stupid. If they were to publish some rate, a rate we expect and want, yesterday for June 1 how many people would sell everything to buy more dinar. This would destroy all the possible outcome and the rate would not be accurate when June 1 got here. Then those who had followed their desire would be in worst shape than before they heard of the opportunity. Until it happens it will not happen. Even seconds before they anounce the new rate they will still be talking the old rate. Otherwise it is like giving the "PowerBall" winning numbers (all 6) out on the news the day before the drawing. There would be no value in the final effect. This is why what we are doing is called speculation, we are speculating that the rate will rise and we will have more money.
  13. This is another blog. If you want to watch and know what is happening with Central Bank of Iraq go to : http://www.cbi.iq Follow the link to "currency auctions" then on the currency auction page find the link "exchange rate" it will open up a "PDF" of the auctions. The auction results are arranged in this order: -- Year, Date, Market, Price, Auction, Price Volume (000 USD), Cash Trans. The market price minus Price is the spread. CBI will buy at market price and sell at auction price. Everything is based on USD.
