  1. I am not too sure of what to make of The Donald as of yet..... He acts like he may still be on his reality tv show.... Looking back at campaigns past it seems the populace wants the best speaker/debater. That is not what I look for in a candidate. I would like to hear about their vision for America, their plans to get us from here to there. What I do not want to hear is some speech writers pipe dream then some drone mouthing the words read from a teleprompter. Accountability, honesty and it would seem integrity have been dropped from the lexicon of American politics as well as corporate America. This is still a magnificent land that we live in. Will we continue to be the land of opportunity? I believe so, despite the agenda's from those in government that contrast with we the people. So to steal a phrase from campaigns past I sure HOPE we get the CHANGE our country needs!
  2. Keep your friends close but keep your enemies even closer. This looks like what is taking place....
  3. This is from The Iraqi Business news. As many know here a No spin site who often pokes fun at dinar investors. Looks like the same article with just a few sentences moved around. Come on Breitling How could The Iraqi Journal article be the best article in three years when this came out almost a year ago. Please note how a real news agency credits the original writer and agency!!! OCTOBER 2013 Economists Divided Over Deletion Of Zeros Posted on 03 October 2013. Tags: Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), dinar, IQD, iraqi dinar, re-denomination, re-valuation, Redenomination, revaluation Pages: 1 2 By Amina al-Dahabi for Al-Monitor. Any opinions expressed are those of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Iraq Business News. The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has been attempting to delete three zeros from the Iraqi currency since 2003. This project has raised many concerns among the Iraqi public and within the business community, and Iraqi economists are divided. While some support the project and consider it a chance to decrease inflation and unemployment, others warn of economic shocks that may prevail over the Iraqi market as a result of the project’s implementation. Following amendments made by the CBI, implementation of the project has been postponed several times. This is because of fears that are mostly related to the lack of security, the presence of a market open to foreign commodities without any restrictions, the prevalence of counterfeit money in the market and rampant corruption in the country. The independent Iraqi News Agency (INA) quoted Abdul Hussein al-Yasiri, a member of the Iraqi parliamentary Finance Committee, as saying that 2014 will witness the deletion of zeros from the Iraqi currency. He noted that the deletion will occur in coordination with the CBI, and that as a result of the project, the number of banknotes in circulation will be reduced from 4 billion to 1 billion. Haider al-Abadi, the head of the Iraqi parliamentary Finance Committee, told Al-Monitor that while deleting zeros from the current currency is possible, this has been postponed until after parliamentary elections. He noted that studies are being carried out to ensure that, following the currency change, counterfeiting is limited and that Iraqis don’t go back to trading in the old currency. The step to delete zeros from the currency has been postponed several times, leading the parliamentary Economic Committee to demand that the CBI accelerate this project, as Al-Sharqiya reported. In a news conference held July 6, the Economic Committee confirmed that the deletion of zeros will lead to an increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar and will have positive repercussions, including a reduction in unemployment and poverty rates in the country. Nafee Elias, a financial advisor at the North Bank, told Al-Monitor that the step to delete zeros is merely an administrative process, and the currency equation should remain the same. This means that the purchasing power of the new currency should be equal to that of the old currency. He added that the two currencies should both remain in the market for a period not exceeding three years, then the old currency should be gradually withdrawn. Elias expected problems to arise if debtor-creditor transactions are not set according to the new currency, or there are defects in withdrawal or payment transactions. He added that it is unlikely the change will affect inflation or poverty rates. Ahmed Faizullah, deputy head of the parliamentary Finance Committee, agreed with Elias. Speaking to Al-Monitor, he noted that the deletion of zeros will not affect the Iraqi dinar’s purchasing power, because the latter is linked to the size of industrial production and imports. He added that the CBI’s hard currency reserves have saved the Iraqi dinar and served as a cover for it. Faizullah called for not applying the project at the moment, because it will confuse Iraqis and disrupt the market. Amid these views, Enas Mohamed, deputy director at Naseem Al Shemal Brokerage Company, told Al-Monitor that the stock market will be harmed the most by a change of currency and the deletion of zeros. The price of a share is one dinar, so currently 1,000 dinars are equal to 1,000 shares. Following the deletion of zeros, the new dinar will be equal to 1,000 shares, which would further confuse the stock market, which is already muddled as a result of the security situation. Amina al-Dahabi is a political-economic researcher and reporter trained in the field of oil and energy journalism. She holds a doctorate in American Containment Policy. http://www.iraq-busi...ion-of-zeros/2/ It looks like even the experts are confused about what is proposed, one person says no change in value, no reduction of poverty, Then we have an example of one Dinar being worth 1000 Dinar? I can see that the reduction of the notes in circulation would be a positive for us who hold the Dinar as it will put a demand on the currency that is not there at this time. All of this is just my opinion based on what I have read. Thanks for putting the articles out there!!

  7. I bought my dinar from Ali and was concerened when some of my dinar looked strange. One of the orders I received, the bills were a little larger the the other orders. Has anyone else had this issue? Why would any bills be larger, I have never seen a dollar have any variation of size. Has anyone else seen this? I too bought my Dinars from Ali and did find some that were off sized. Maybe QC let a few slip by, on the bright side all the security features are there. Just my opinion but I have always received top notch service from Ali, I wish I could say the same for Fedex. Also I would like to thank Adam for this site and the many great posts that I have read. Back to lurking...
