well there are approximately 8736 hours in a year...(52x168)...I'm not a guru, but my bet is that we're within 8736 hrs from RV...just sayin

...with investments, especially the high-risk type, he should only risk (ie. bet) what he's willing to lose...sounds to me like your friend should only buy 100k-250k dinar to start max...that gets his "skin in the game"...your friend can read, read, and read some more...and buy a little more at a time. good luck

Babs, you'll be able to get all the steamers, RI chowdah, clamcakes, lobstah, etc. you want post-RV...heck, you could just buy Champlin's!!! (love that place)

good news...thanks TJ!

Nothing else to worry about. We will see it maybe on Forex Sunday or by 9 AM EST on Monday!!!

We (investors) are hungry fish in the pond (pumper world) chasing the lure (another date...and another date...and another date)

Check out this article just posted on a different site...seems to be a lot of references to currency...Cheers http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ar&u=http://www.mutawassetonline.com/index.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26view%3Darticle%26id%3D1527:2011-03-29-23-21-56%26catid%3D36:2010-12-07-22-29-42%26Itemid%3D54&ei=F7CTTbmTCYG4twf125lz&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CFMQ7gEwBQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%25D8%25B1%25D9%2581%25D8%25B9%2B%25D8%25A3%25D8%25B5%25D9%2581%25D8%25A7%25D8%25B1%2B%25D8%25A7%25D9%2584%25D8%25AF%25D9%258A%25D9%2586%25D8%25A7%25D8%25B1%2B%25D8%25A7%25D9%2584%25D8%25B9%25D8%25B1%25D8%25A7%25D9%2582%25D9%258A%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26tbs%3Dqdr:d%26prmd%3Divns Tuesday, March 29, 2011 23:20 Obeida Naimi – still the national currency of Iraq (Dinar) at a standstill, and we believe it is just the demise of the economic embargo imposed on Iraq for 12 years, the (dinar) will restore its health, if not the one from three dollars, Frosa head, it is true that the improvement slightly emerged after changing the political system, and the issuance of new editions of the coin, but the exchange rate stood at a certain point, and it seems that those charged with formulating monetary policy, dissatisfied with this result, as if they were afraid of aftershocks hit the currency setbacks new, maybe not Tsafha any actions timely or future, and therefore see a picture of the economy through the value of national currency against hard currency, which controls the course of all economic activities, and greatly affects the living conditions of citizens. We do not know, why there are no plans to jump currency to the top, especially given that oil alone is fit to be a cover for them, as in the seventies of the last century, as awarded the purchasing power in the currency market, possible that conferred today with force, but if there is a strain What prevents this, as public policy factors are influential, so policies are economic factors are affecting the other. But, let’s move away from the conspiracy theory that Akhartna much, after that we are, we believe we are moving Kalrobutat, or pawns of chess, by hidden hands, and try to expose some of the imbalances in the economic structure through self-flagellation to publicly Nnatq the status of the dissipation of the East once, and the West times . The beginning, we must recognize and acknowledge that our real problem, we do not have the ability to manage state resources properly, and this does not mean lack of talent, but because this (talent) is absent for the levels of responsibility held positions in the absence of time, and they lack the possibilities scientific, technical, and here was this problem as a stumbling block to raise the value of the currency from its current rate. No doubt, that the currency is the interface the country’s economy, as noted, is a means and not an end to economic exchange, and therefore the high value that is associated with activating the various economic sectors so that there is diversity in the sources of national income, instead of limiting it to oil imports, although these imports alone are eligible to strengthen the currency, but in a country as diverse resources such as Iraq needs to achieve its investment process, comprehensive, in order to believe in other sources within the general budget resources, in addition to preventing waste of hard currency to import goods and products that can be produced locally, and which adversely affect the currency based on national supply and demand. The deterioration of the economy in any country, and the deterioration of productive sectors, is reflected directly on the reality of its currency national, so we need practical steps to start investment projects, for infrastructure development, for economic growth, and pumping of hard currency at home. We would like to point out here that the adoption of the Iraqi Central Bank to pump hard currency in its daily auction to control the exchange rate of national currency against the dollar, can not raise the value of the currency, but keep it to a single case of stability with some of the rise or decline marginally, what should be to put a policy appropriate to the country’s resources to the high value of the currency, to not only be including the deletion of zeros at the present time, what caused the severe damage to slices of employees and retirees and the totals of salaries of social protection network, and the poor in general, and if he does not need this procedure, it should be preceded by a plan to stimulate the re-cycle of the process productivity and economic whole, in various agricultural and industrial sectors, services and deliberative, banking and investment, thereby promoting each episode the other links in the mobilization of all reservoirs, capacity and channel players, either reclining on (deletion) in raising the value of the currency, it is just a fake so-called phenomenon of (monetary illusion), and does not constitute a real phenomenon, because the real value of the monetary union (the dinar) is in the amount of goods and services that can be obtained in time, which does not reflect the monetary value of the number before manifested any signs of the true value of the monetary union. So, no room for deception, or lure people through the mechanisms of temporary soon turn against them, Bala, and are taking steps to correct for the advancement of economic reality, all the way to restore confidence in national currency and the real exchange rate.

VEEEEGGGGGAAAASSSSSS!

Lotsa Oil Left

More junk...I love how it says "Txx" in several places and "Tim" in another...

They've changed tactics...now using ":::::::::::::::::::" as their new marketing communications strategy...gotta love it...

IMO, a non-issue. I agree with kjwayne...I've purchased through DT and have wired to different banks...dealing with them has been seamless.

looks like e-trade has adopted xtranormal's create-your-own movie software...not sure who created but it's pretty easy to do

(I just posted this as a reply on a different post, but maybe there are more people looking at this to give feedback on my thoughts...looking at this from a different angle..thanks) Fellow DVers, I'm looking for honest assessment of what I pulled up from last year. I wanted to point out 2 key areas: 1) I first start out with how the Bretton Woods Project defines what an IMF LOI is. IMF Letter of Intent - Letter from a government to the IMF outlining planned economic reforms to be made in relation to receiving an IMF loan. It includes a matrix of conditions that must be implemented in order to access the IMF’s resources. http://www.brettonwoodsproject.org/glossary/item.shtml?x=345024 2) Here's basically the same IMF LOI document with a lot of the same language...just from a year prior February 8, 2010http://www.imf.org/external/np/loi/2010/irq/020810.pdf II. DEFINITIONS 3. For purposes of monitoring under the program, a program exchange rate will be used. This program exchange rate will be set at ID 1,170 per U.S. dollar. The program exchange rate will be used to convert into Iraqi dinars the U.S. dollar value of all CBI foreign assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars, as required. For CBI assets and liabilities denominated in SDRs and in foreign currencies other than the U.S. dollar, they will be converted in U.S. dollars at their respective SDR-exchange rates prevailing as of December 31, 2009, as published on the IMF’s website. virtually the same language as the most recent 3/3/2011 document Page 10 21. The CBI will continue to be independent in the pursuit of its policy objectives. The CBI’s monetary and exchange rate policies will continue to be aimed at keeping inflation under control and safeguarding international reserves. The subdued inflationary pressures thus far in 2009 have helped to maintain the nominal exchange rate stable since the beginning of the year and to reduce the policy interest rate to 7 percent. The policy interest rate will be kept positive in real terms (measured against core inflation) to signal the CBI’s firm commitment to maintain a low rate of inflation. We are accelerating plans to roll out a new CPI based on more recent household expenditure data, which will help us better monitor underlying inflationary dynamics. virtually the same language as the most recent 3/3/2011 document My 23.4 dinar - There are many facets to Iraq rebuilding and sustaining an economy. To me, this is equivalent to applying for a car loan or home equity loan. Would you like to splurge on that fancy car that you don't really need? Do you want some extra cash to remodel your home? (or buy more dinar? lol) The same can be said about the SBA for Iraq when it comes to them wanting to have extra sources of income, right? My point is, of course this document will be written the way it is...and of course they are going to stick to hard facts (such as an exchange rate of 1170) versus speculative facts (ie. hints of a proposed RV/RI rate). Because in the end, this is just one avenue of them trying to source money as backup (I agree with someone from a different post that said the act of obtaining and using loan money is to help improve Iraq's credit rating) . With all the black gold they are sitting on, I am making the argument that maybe Iraq is just playing the game to keep their line in the water with the IMF when in reality, they could do without knowing they holding "pocket aces." (aka power to RV). I look forward to hearing people's thoughts on this because the way I see it, I don't consider the 3/3/2011 document as a be-all-end-all indicator that the RV will not happen anytime soon... Thanks
