[RV In June-What A Rumor]

Sol....Money is electronic. Ok? I just went to Target last week and paid by debit card. No ACTUAL physical currency exchange took place. The RV CAN be whatever it wants to be.

So if you have $10 in your debit account you can magically make a purchase for $100 just because it's electronic? You have to be able to cover your purchases and that is what an RV will force. It will force the CBI to purchase back the IQD. And they will need to be able to cover it. Money will not magically appear to cover it. They will "break the bank" ever heard of that phrase. It is real. The bank runs out of money to cover the run on it's reserves and they close the doors and the bank is broke. Reality check again. 3.22 is pure fantasy and pure PUMP!!!

Sol, c'mon man. Really? You've got to understand that Iraq has enough money to cover speculation once they RV. Money is electronic. Do you think all speculators are going to fly to Iraq to cash in? No, of course not. I'm driving down the street to 5/3. I'll exchange my dinar there for dolars. It's 5/3 that has to have the hard cash. Then electronically, value is passed from Iraq to 5/3. Just as long as Iraq has enough value in their currency, they can cover any one else's currency. That's what "Revaluation" means. It means, the dinar is revalued enough to cover the dollar. Unless all speculators flew to Iraq and tried to cash in, we're just fine.

Go RV

Malcolm Berko: True believer hooked on currency scam

Feb 24, 2011 02:14AM

ShareE-MailPrintDear Mr. Berko: I’m a broker with a major financial house and have a dear friend who lost his wife three years ago and his job 18 months ago, and may lose his home this year.

He’s deeply in debt, and his only remaining asset is a $63,000 IRA from which he’s been taking money to stay above water. An Internet currency firm has advised him to take half his IRA to invest in 30 million Iraqi dinars. They’ve convinced him that he can make millions of dollars in the coming year because the dinar, “which is backed by oil, is certain to explode in value this year.”

I know you have heard this story before, and I can’t convince my friend this is a scam. My firm has a huge currency trading desk, and I had my friend talk with the head trader, who also said it was a scam. But my friend believes that Fifth Third Bank is an important player in the dinar market and thinks my firm is “bashing the competition.”

He reads your column, and if you think this is a scam, I know an e-mail from you might be more convincing than me or my firm.

Dear J.S.: Many of those Internet currency firms make $15,000 to $25,000 per week peddling worthless hope to wide-eyed believers like your friend, who may even get the fake stuff in the mail and never know the difference. Many Americans can’t tell the difference between a real American dollar and a counterfeit American dollar.

This dinar con game has morphed into religious fervor with an intensity similar to Islamic fundamentalism. The suckers in this scam steadfastly believe the promise of financial salvation with a spiritual mindset that is immune to logic or common sense. So I doubt there’s anything you or I can do because your friend is emotionally involved and he badly needs this to be true.

I learned a long time ago that you can’t reason a man out of something he has not been reasoned into. And unlike the yen, the U.S. dollar, the Swiss franc, the Mexican peso, etc., the dinar is not traded on the world’s financial markets.

Yes, some banks (including Fifth Third (FITB-$14) will purchase dinars, but there’s a huge gap between its buying price and selling price. Think of buying dinars like buying a car from a dealer or a diamond from a jeweler and reselling them back to the same dealer or jeweler a month later. So while FITB may repurchase your friend’s dinars, your friend will have chest pains when it gives him 25 percent less than he paid.

A pox on FITB for aiding and abetting this heartless scam — but I guess they figure that false hope is better than no hope at all.

The Iraqi legislature recently approved a $79 trillion budget, and its treasury is printing dinars like we print postage stamps — but in bigger denominations. In fact, the Central Bank of Iraq just approved a 100,000 dinar-denominated bill because there are not enough smaller bills to pay the rapidly increasing costs of food, clothing, transportation, fuel, housing and baksheesh.

Meanwhile, the Iraqi economy — which is oil-driven — made no progress in 2010. Iraq has an inadequate infrastructure, security is fragile, unemployment is rampant, and the politicians are insidious and corrupt, while the bloody hatred between the Sunni Muslims and the Shiite Muslims continues to create pockets of chaos and pain. And the Central Bank of Iraq gleefully prints new dinars to sell to American schnooks like your friend. It brings U.S. dollars to an Iraqi economy in which the people who have money don’t trust their currency. Your friend is in love with the dinar, and telling him it’s a fraud makes him love it even more. He’s hooked.

Here's hoping he's wrong!!! Go RV!
