I had heard so many horror stories of the hassles with Warka Bank that I didn't pursue the ISX. I purchased Breitling's package back in the day, so I know there are others now who can set up your account. The ISX is supposed to eventually be listed on the NASDAQ, so I have thought that is the way I would get into it. Smart move, I think, on all of you who had the foresight and perseverance to be set up already.

You know, for laws that God has stated in His Word, that pesky devil tries to imitate. Karma is a prime example. The Word of God says in Galatians 6:7 "Do not be deceived. God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, he shall also reap."

I remember several years ago when Sen. Grassley "attacked" certain "prosperity" preachers, demanding they show their tax returns. Some panicked and complied (with no illegal findings, I might add). Two that I know of resisted because they knew the law. I don't think Creflo Dollar ever responded. I do know Kenneth Copeland gathered his tax information, went to the local IRS office and publically broadcast them turning the information over to the IRS - who was the only federal agency required to have knowledge of it. Sen. Grassley eventually tucked his tail between his legs and let it drop.

Oh, I know if I have had a challenging day, I can come to this thread and be uplifted!! Laughter is the best medicine. Thanks, all.

I really do try to stay away from conspiracy theories - really I do. But, I honestly believe history will show it was not real. I read that Trump was convinced by his children to let it go, possibly looking forward to his plan to run for president. Pick your battles, as they say.

Wow, that is beautiful!! Thanks for sharing.

Totally agree, Theseus!! One benefit of VIP is having experts available that are knowledgeable about the dinar. But I also have CPAs and tax attorneys from previous investments that I intend to gather input from.

I think it is probably no surprise to anyone that I am about as conservative as it gets. But I did think about the "fair and balanced" in regard to Chris and Shep. One of my favorite shows on Fox is "The Five" (when they don't talk all over each other), but it has always bothered me just a bit that they only have one liberal for four conservatives. What's fair and balanced in that? I do love the conservative views that are espoused and usually disagree with the liberal, but Juan and Bob are so quickly shot down that they might as well not be there. JMHO

I agree, KristiD. That is why I posted the reference to ExecConsult (the tax attorney's post) in another thread. I personally spoke to him several years ago, so I know he is legit. Again, hopefully everyone will seek advice from a dinar-knowledgeable CPA and/or tax attorney post RV. Maybe Trump will come through with some tax laws that will rule in our favor, but until then we need to prepare to see this as ordinary income.

39% is fed tax, then you have state tax (up to 10% or so), and then that unknown percentage of spread (both CBI fee and bank fee).

Several years ago, there was a DV member named ExecConsult who is a tax attorney. There was much discussion as to whether the RV would be taxed as cap gains or ordinary income. He deemed it was going to be ordinary income, although he had written the IRS to challenge that. Here is one of the threads. The first post is someone thinking it is cap gains. ExecConsult replies midway on the first page. By all means, if you are not VIP/OSI, please use a CPA or tax attorney to get your information.

I think before this is over there will be a new political party called the American Party.

Now, before anyone gets their panties in a wad, I am not comparing Trump to Jesus (well, maybe just a bit - we are supposed to imitate Him, aren't we?). However, Jesus walked in an authority that rattled the Pharisees and the establishment. Trump walks in a confident authority that is widely seen as arrogance. It, at times, even causes some of us who get this to cringe. But I believe he intends to do what he says he will do, and he will not be deterred by delay or criticism. He will succeed.

Thank you, Mary. God Bless you, too!!

I saw this article and thought of how many baby boomers are in this position. When I first bought dinar (in 2010) I told practically everyone I knew about it. Now, with it lagging on, I tell pretty much no one. I do hope people in this woman's position somehow find out about it and are willing to investment at least $1,000. http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/retirement/with-dollar15-left-in-the-bank-a-baby-boomer-makes-peace-with-less/ar-AAn1mmn?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp

OK. I look at it as like buying the warranty on a new appliance. IF the RV happens, the discount on the spread will be much greater than what you paid for the VIP. That alone made it worth it to me.

Did you buy dinar? If so, your reasoning would suggest you shouldn't have. Just sayin'

I'm all for the SUDDENLY, but at this point I think my reaction will be FINALLY!!

I know Kim Clement has been mentioned a lot lately, but one thing I remember him saying (and actually told Obama) was that if Obama did not have a "captivating love" for Israel (which Obama proved he didn't), he would be scraped up off the streets. I am just watching and waiting.

Good article!! Who are you, and what have you done with Shabs?

Thanks, Markinsa - a classic study on healing!!

Oh, please let it be true!!

I have to say I am not worried because I know in whom I have believed. God put Trump in, and when God is honored, no weapon formed against us can prosper. They can roar like a lion, but it will not happen.

I feel your pain, Joe. But we have all "paid the price" of doing the research. A good idea is to go to each section and read the pinned topics. Happy hunting!!
