Scrumdiddles, I only wish people like yourself would stop and think for a couple of minutes before posting such nonsense. I want to believe you are an intelligent person, but somehow you lowered yourself to a level of stupidity that it doesn't even leave room for any replies. Absolutely amazing.

Caracam, I hear you. I too have been on this for years and it has come the point where it is hard to read all the crap those idiots keep on posting and perhaps harder to take a brake like some are suggesting. It is a good suggestion, I do not question it, but in my case after all this time there is no longer room for anything other than a conclusion, no matter what it will be. I pray for the best, I guess am prepared for the acceptable, but mostly I just hope my investment will not be a bag full of worthless pretty printed paper, which is a very real possibility regardless of what some of the hard core believers say. I guess the only way I can realistically take a brake is to finally get rid of what I have so I take myself out of the guessing and hoping game. A game that is played by the most corrupted and careless people on earth, people whom you wouldn't trust with anything. Never the less your money. But here we are. I have said many times that I am done and I want to sell what I have, and still haven't done it. I have been able to limit my reading to the titles even though I am tempted to open some of them. I don't because I know is full of the same nonsense from the hard core believers, newbies, gurus and so on. Your topic caught my attention because we share the same feelings. All I can say is to try and limit your exposure to it. I look at this once a week may be and only read the main lines. It has helped but for sure hasn't fixed the fact that I am fed up with this nonsense. I think that if I could express my frustration the way I would really want to (I just let you imagine ...... it would give me some satisfaction, but it will be short lived. All the best to you.

Good for them !! But why always in countries where all kind of fighting has been going on for thousand of years ? The way I see it, this will complicate things even more now. But who knows may be for a chance it will make things easy ........

WOW, you sure are deep. Coming from you I take it as a compliment.............. Jeez !!!

There is a comment on "learningmarkets.com" made by "Networth" that I find extremely wise. Here it is: __________________ Networth says: The Iraqi dinar is the perfect storm of financial desperation, ignorance and the internet. It is heartbreaking to see so many people fall for the foolish claims of the pumpers and promoters. A revaluation, as proposed by these people, has never happened in the history of the world. Germany after WWII and Kuwait after the Gulf War were not the least bit similar. But, of course, people don’t know that. They hear “revaluation” and figure they’re all the same. Currency exchange is a zero sum game. Wealth is neither created nor destroyed in the process. It is only transferred. People that believe wealth will be transferred to them through a revaluation of the Iraqi dinar should ask themselves from whom the wealth is going to be transferred. For them to receive the wealth of an RV, someone (or something) else must give up their wealth. Who will that be? The Central Bank of Iraq? The government of Iraq? Why would they do that? Why would anybody? It makes no sense. It’s an absolutely foolish notion. The government of Iraq would not willingly and voluntarily relinquish the wealth of it’s nation. No country would. They may squander it through fraud, corruption and mismanagement. But they would not willingly transfer it. What a preposterous contention. I dearly hope these promoters are exposed as the snake oil salesmen they are. __________________ I think that every day that goes by I have less and less faith, but that is me. However I would strongly suggest to everyone that is willing to spend some time to read a long page, to visit the site I mentioned above. Very enlightening. If nothing, I hope that "Networth" post will help others get a better idea or make a better decision about their involvement with this. I made mine. Time to take my losses and move on.

So, how long are you going to allow these ......... (rather not write the exact term I like to use) to keep fouling you with this prank ? Come on, this has to be a prank. After almost 8 years and almost 40M dinars in hand, I am really starting to feel like a complete idiot, not just a small idiot. I bought worthless money with my hard earned US$ and all I have been fed are an enormous amount of BS from all the monkeys that day in day out are saying something stupid. My fault, I do not deny it, but still .......... I specially hate the "GO RV" statement at the end of a post !!! I do not believe anything anymore. I do look at some sites sometimes and all I see are virtually more people in the stratosphere hoping for a miracle that will it ever come true. The reasons why I feel this way have been posted more times that I can count, so I will not go there. Now the question is: ....... for how long am I going to allow myself to be fouled over and over by this "mirage" before I should sell the pretty worthless paper money I have in hand ? .......... my answer is: almost done and ready to sell. ........ so how long are you going to hang on to the worthless money ? ........ In my book it makes no more sense whatsoever. Will it happen ? Possibly. May be in a week or in 37 years (be dead by then so ....... who cares). The morons in power in Iraq (and they truly are, weather you agree or not) have showed themselves as the worse of the worse. Forget about us dreamers of the impossible miracle, focus on the people of Iraq and their living conditions. We will be happy to piggyback on their fortune, but the simple fact that they just do not care about them is flabbergasting. Oh, how about the constant vacations they have ? Crap, I can count on my both hands the vacation days I had this year. I feel like throwing up. In any case, I am ready for the usual bashing from the blind believers. Not that I care since none of them have a realistic answer for anything anyway a side from their innate desire to tell me how wrong I am. Perhaps soon there will be some dinars for sale. All new and bought from DT......... stay tuned !!! Have a great weekend

Shame on you !! No other words can express how disgusted I am to know people like you do exist. However what can you expect from some moron that can not even spell where he lives correctly !!! Albeta ??

LEGOLAS: thank you. Your great common sense and knowledge is very refreshing. I have thought the same for a long time (although with much less knowledge of the whole thing) and even posted a couple of times but bashed by the "true believers". Regardless I hold a little more than you do, and I went in the same way you did and the truth is that I was trying to make a quick $. I was very skeptical at first thinking ....Iraq ? Bad news right there. Then through some research I started to believe it may just be possible. Never at $3, but at 50 or 75 cents I thought it could actually happen. I was obviously wrong and honestly I am debating to get rid of them because in my view, it will simply never happen. The funny thing is that under a normal circumstance, if my financial adviser would have told me to buy shares of an Iraqi company or worthless iraqi currency with good US$, I would have fired him instantly............... So I did it all by myself. I too did not disclosed this to anybody, not even my wife, and it was the smart decision. If I will loose even more than I have lost so far, I will be the only one to blame and everything is still good under the roof at home.

.............. aaaaaaaand as always we have the m*****n of the day finding the way to say something .......... "stupid" ......... that he respects by the way. Must be feeling better. Where is this world coming to I have no idea.

Gave you a +. Thankfully someone is still walking on the ground and not on clouds like so many ................

OOPPS, forgot something I should have mention that I did took this as a long investment opportunity, perhaps not this long. What I am annoyed about is the constant BS that litters every site that deals with this. I am annoyed with all the idiots writing false and stupid sentences just because they can. I am annoyed with the sarcasm that some have toward people that does not see things the same way as they do. And finally, yes I am annoyed with the long wait. But I guess, like it or not, I am allowed to a little. Best to all.

To "Teddyjay" and "RDY_STDY_GO" Thank you for your comments. It has indeed been since 2005. I begun small and increasingly bought more and more. My hopes were up, my wife and I had some day dreaming for a while but always stayed grounded. Thankfully ! Then the economy turn south and we really started to think how much of a blessing would have been for my business and a couple of immediate family members. Then I saw so many neighbors, friends, businesses in a very hard situation and we couldn't help. In the past I always helped and obviously I always lost, but help at times doesn't mean being repaid. I did what I could, but for sure wasn't enough. That left a mark. I was hoping to be able to walk to their home with a check and say ....."here we go, keep the house for you and your family"...... or to their office and say ....."here, put this in your business" ..... But I couldn't. I guess all the BS that are flying around made me even angrier that I already was, because I allowed myself to feel confident that the day I would help my friends in need and my business was around the corner. Thankfully I do not depend from the dinar to survive but it has been extremely hard and in their case I saw families with serious problems. I saw husbands crying because they couldn't give their families a roof to live under. That really effected me. So after all these years and these personal experiences, this RV thing is not so much about what it could do for us, or family, charities (animals and elderly people only) but it is what I could do to make a difference in someone else's life. Yes I will buy myself the car I always wanted, why not !! I would buy my wife something I know she would love to have, set up the rest of the family, may be a vacation home, or travel some, the typical human stuff we would all love to do if money was no longer an option. But for sure it will be minimal. I will invest it and my main goal will be to make sure we will be able to retire with dignity and some comforts. The rest I will be happy to make sure it will help who needs it, again elderly people and animals (I am a giant animal lover). Way too many children organizations already. To the guy that thinks I am wining and crying, I am not. I am just being realistic strictly around my personal experience. Sometimes I feel like taking things in a jokingly way, sometimes I don't. This is one of those matters that is no longer funny for me. I am glad it can spark some humor for some. I sure do not have any about this illusive RV anymore. I don't like to feel like a foul and I am not expecting anybody to share such feeling. I just reached a point where all the nonsense I read is simply worthless to me. Health, happiness and serenity to all of you.

Assuming it will happen, and I honestly lost all hopes, I will think what to do then since I am forecasting I have a lot of time. So far nothing but BS, false hopes, nonsense and ........ you name it. Can I honestly think that far out ? Not anymore. It could be years before anything will actually get done. Every year around this time we pack a new bag of hopes. Sadly they will all go to waste once again. Every day that goes by I feel more like a foul for actually allowing myself to believe in this (not sure if it is 6 or 7 years by now). By all means I am only considering myself a foul, based on my believes, situations and personal opinion. I fully respect all of you out there and hope you are right. I know positive thinking brings positive things, but I really feel I have been taken. I bought worthless paper money with good one, even if it has lost a lot of it's value. To be realistic is not a negative thing. Is actually what, in certain cases, can save your future. This is a very well though out move from Iraq. They sure fouled me. Just look at them, their people, how this whole nonsense is effecting hundred of thousand there and only very few have all the imaginable. Nobody t here cares about the future of the people, all is about who can control this or that. Bandits are in power and even more bandits surround them. They are just as pathetic as the way have been conducted themselves for hundred of years. I pray I am wrong, I pray I will have to go back on my statements, but I honestly do not think we will see anything anytime soon, if ever !! Even though they have unimaginable wealth below their feet, I can probably guess that they have no plans to made us (who bought their worthless currency) reach people overnight. The Ali of the world made a fortune in selling us dinars, the damn gurus pumped everything up (probably hired by them) and I foolishly believed it was actually possible. It is my fault, and I generally can say I am a reasonably careful and grounded person. I read, learned about currencies in a way I never did before, tried to understand if there were all the right ingredient for such an unbelievable opportunity. I thought all that was there. But then, looking at the course of events, I slowly realized I wanted to happen, I allowed myself to think too far ahead and all I could do for me, my family, friends in need, charities, you name it. Truth hurts !! And the truth is that I am a foul. I only read some posts once or twice a month anymore, and today was one of those days. I lost virtually all interest in this nonsense. This topic spiked my interest and frustration because I see people in the same place I was a while ago and I know what is ahead. So my apologies if I might be offending somebody, not my intentions. Just talking out loud. The best to all of you.

Very well said. However, up until we will keep on voting for those morons, then we are to blame and held responsible for at least some of the reasons why this is happening. The drastic situation so many people, families are in is not because of the non RV. Is because of who is governing us. In my view, a country does resemble a big company. Yes there are politics involved but hopefully to a point. I would love to see more business people with hopefully enough integrity to do or try to do more good than what is done today. Politics goes nowhere good. Just a favor for you and one for me. All the interests, lobbies, greed and, above all, the party dominance has turn this country in a disaster. It doesn't matter how much damage has been made, it doesn't matter the consequences we are facing and for how long. Those worthless politicians just keep on doing what they do best: spend money we do not have and take care of their own agendas. There are ways to fix things, the problem is that if they are not as sweet and as good as we want them to be, then we do not want them. That is not the way to a good start. These are times of austerity and sacrifice. We were spoiled with the illusion that everything is possible, specially here, the mighty #1. Is not. America lets get real and lets take a good shower of "humbleness" so we can start and bring this great nation back to where it once was. But again, until we keep on voting for the type of politicians we have been ............... we'll never get ahead. Look at the idiot in power today. We can make a difference by ignoring the ones that the parties wants us to vote for, let's embrace the more independent views. If we, the people, will support the idea, I am sure there will be great alternatives. We have some of the brightest minds in the world that would be willing to take on such project. We just need to give them a chance and get rid of the parasites. As far as the RV .................. I have been on board for 6 may be 7 years and I lost all hopes. The enormous publicity created by gurus, non gurus, web sites, you name it, has turned this in an impossible situation. We want this to save our lives but in reality it probably will not. None of the people that posts here or elsewhere knows anything that is a fact. All the building up of a possibility to strike big has twisted the reality in such way that we were all blindfolded by it. Realistically I am not qualified for the smallest comment, but my 2 cents is that we are all fouls. Me included since once I believed it was actually possible. Sitting down and ready for the bashing. I know is coming since here too, when someone says something that is not positive or good, or hopeful then is criticized to the max. The best and happy life to all you.

Wow I was warned this site was full of ............ whatever. Not worth my time. No, no divorce. Nice sense of humor, I am going to force myself to laugh, wait ......... hahahahahahahaha. Done
