  1. Thank you Carrello for the post. It seems to me this is just more of the same delay tactics used by Maliki and the National Alliance and the rule of law party to keep things the same. Start a commitee, have a meeting to see if they can agree to have a meeting. Talk Talk Talk What they need is a little more action !

BARACK OBAMA THE WHITE HOUSE, March 16, 2012. OPINIONS PLEASE
  3. So your telling me that dinars purchased by the central bank but NOT spent do not reduce the money supply ? Do they indeed have 70 trillion dinar in circulation as you say ? I suspect it is much lower but you are welcome to prove me wrong with a link to the information. Still at 70 trillion dinar to 67+ billion dollars reserve it is a 1044 to 1 which is indeed an improvement over where some of us bought the dinar. This only counts the US dollar reserves. However this does not include any other assests that the CBI has such as Gold and other minerals. Rumors have it they are many tons of gold. So again I ask how can an intellegent person say there is no upside to this. It may take some time but I am not in a hurry. Then again it could always happen tomorrow, who knows. It is already worth more than I paid for it.
  4. I agree that this person is making a number of assumptions based on previous happenings in the financial world. I am not an economist but it is curious to me how these educated people say there is NO upside to this at all. A simple mathematics equation will tell you that the dinar is already worth 2 to 3 times what it is valued at in US dollars. The CBI has reserves of over 67 Billion US dollars by the latest reports. If there are 30 trillion dinars in the market then 67 Billion divided by 30 Trillion = .002 per dinar, the current fixed rate is .00086. So if you only count the CBI CASH reserves then the dinar is worth 2.3 times it's current fixed rate. The CBI continues to buy 200 to 300 million dollars of dinar a day but only uses about half or less of that to run the country. So every day dinars are removed from circulation. This can only mean some appreciation in the value of the dinar and some profit for specualtors like us. The big question is just how much. JMO
  5. Sounds like a song from an old cartoon featuring a baby eagle or vulture not sure which at one point there are words to it something like Iii'm bringin home a baby bubble bee ... wont my mama be so proud of me ...etc etc It was used in several cartoon from the 50s or 60s also i think the dog was named ... "Deputy Dawg"
  6. Also one needs to consider that they claim there is 33 trillion dinar in circulation, if they "lop" it would make it 33 billion dinar in circualtion. Since the Central bank claims to have reserves of over 60 billion US dollars the 33 billion dinar left after the lop would be worth a minimum of 2.00 each. That is if you only count the reserves not the oil, gold, silver, natural gas and all the other assests that Iraq has... Either way it seems we will win but one way is definitely more profitable than the other.
  7. You did not take into consideration that it may just be a good investment.. Not a Millionaire maker but maybe 2, 3 or even 4 times ROI. Not a scam as I do not see anyone losing money, although the way some of the pumpers manipulate the emotions of newbies is scandalous. It is part of an overall investment stategy. It would be wonderful if it Rv's and makes us all millionaires and it would still be good if it only makes 3 or 4 times you money. Unfortunately those that really believe that they would be millionaires will no doubt be unhappy if they do not get that million dollar return. As my mother used to say hope for the best but be ready for the worst. If you can do that you can deal with this ride no matter how it turns out.
  8. I believe the biggest problem in getting Iraq out of chapter 7 is the fact that the Iraq has so far refused to sign off on the border between Iraq and Kuwait. Until they agree, in writing, Kuwait will not let them out of Chapter 7
  9. If I was into conspiracy theories I would guess that the IMF wants the US to get it's house in order before they allow us the get our hands on all that money. The US has been spending at an alarming rate for years and needs to stop. If the IMF gave Obama the money before a debt deal then he would just spend like he has done for the last 2 years.
  10. WTF.... Who in the heck are these people to think they can take away our constitutional right to free speech. They need to publish the names of the people who started this and run them out of town on a rail. Maybe a little game of TAR and FEATHER might be the answer. THIS IS NOT GERMANY IN THE 1930's this is AMERICA.
  11. Curiouser and Curiouser.... ;-)
  12. If we can ask where did you aquire them ?
  13. 1. Thank your brother for his service. However there is no reason to believe he has any special knowledge of the Dinar 2. Where did your brothers wife get her knowledge. You say she is a banker, is she the preisdent of the bank or a loan officer ? Again no reason to believe she has any special knowledge of the dinar 3. Physics...what can I say either you believe or you dont. So basically your intel is no better or worse that anyone elses.... Only a few really know and they are not talking A nice write but of little value in the investment. Most of us know it is a long term thing.
  14. “That Iraq will join the many international conventions and we will be freed from the sanctions regime imposed on him and an end to many of binding Security Council resolutions and to restore the sovereignty of Iraq on his money in the outside. “ A curious statement unless there is still some sort of restriction on what they do with their money Something that is keeping them from a possible increase in the value of the dinar
  15. Had not considered that but it is possible. It could be a quick fix. They might even make gold coins. Unlikely with the wildly fluatation price of gold and the fact that Counterfeiting coins using any other metal is much easier than counterfeiting paper bills. It would be easy for the country to be flooded with bogus coins. So it is unlikely that the coins would be of a high value.
  16. This is actually a logical extension of the currency reform. The last time they did coins they failed because the dinar was not worth anything. What good is a 25 dinar coin when the rate was 3000 to one dollar. Now they are going to bring in coins as he says "the coin is not a low currency, but will be important medium of exchange which are used for simple banking transactions in the internal business transactions." So now they are saying they will support the value of the dinar so the coins will be worth using. This is good it means they are going to change the value of the dinar otherwise the new coins will be no better than the old ones
  17. Iraq has said many times that they will redenominate China said many times they would not revalue No way to tell who is right until the day arrives. Be calm and enjoy the ride either way we will make money
  18. They are thinking they are tired of the Fed and the quantitative easing The more money the fed prints the more inflation there will be
  19. showed 1164 a minute ago. That is normal fluctuation of the currency.
  20. Hmmmmmmm Wouldn't it be interesting if this is true and Iraq gave a large piece of Gas producing land to Kuwait in exchange for WHAT ? Maybe that is why the Kuwait Emir gave all his people a bunch of money and stuff a few months ago and Iraq announced that Kuwait was paid Well this is a good one for the conspiracy folks
  21. Thursday July 14 is a holiday in Iraq. It is there independence day from 1958
  22. a recent article from the CBI and the world bank stated that the restrcuture of both of these banks is now complete. It is a good thing and one of many that need to be done.
  23. The information is copied from the CBI web site go to CBI.IQ and click the currency auctions link read correctly it says that they sold dollars Total offers for buying (US$) 222,584,000 offers are from the 21 banks at 1170 per dollar. If you read the rates published on the CBI.IQ web site you will see that the rate for selling dollars is 1170 the rate for selling dinars is 1168
  24. The latest daily currency auction was held in the Central Bank of Iraq on the 11-JUL-2011. The results were as follows: Details Notes Number of banks 21 Auction price selling dinar / US$ 1170 Auction price buying dinar / US$ ----- Amount sold at auction price (US$) 222,584,000 Amount purchased at Auction price (US$) ----- Total offers for buying (US$) 222,584,000 Total offers for selling (US$) ----- Since the indicative rates show 1170 /1168 and the price above show 1170 One can only assume that the bank has sold dollars not dinar as dinar would be sold at 1168 to the dollar.
