BrokeNoMore

I believe you are right. But at least they are closing some of the huge gaps. It is the tiniest move in the right direction. If we level the playing field, then some of our jobs just might come back. Of course, they will be coming back largely to an "entitlement" society that really doesn't want to work, but wants to sit on their ever widening butts and collect unemployment and welfare. The entire mess with our economy, IMO, has been engineered for failure since...the 1960's.

Great post. Thanks.

COOL!!! This bill was voted on by the Senate 10/3/2011, and passed 79 to 19. And it is directed at China. It's ABOUT TIME!

Yes, I got into it because someone who is very successful and wealthy, and is someone I trust. I did wait a few months because at the time I did not have money I could "afford to lose" but when I was able, I did invest. Since investing, I have read a great deal and believe that this will *eventually* pan out, and hope against hope that Adam is right and it will pop before Thanksgiving. I sure could use it now. But the amount I invested really wouldn't have changed my life if I had used it when I had it. I have not spent money as though I was going to have a lot soon. I am an avid researcher of all things, and Adam is by far the most credible source I have found on the IQD. I believe he is right to expect it to RV low, and slowly grow to that ridiculous payout over time, based on the thousands of hours of reading I have done on newsites and translations of Iraqi sites, etc. That's a bit disappointing, but it will still be enough to fix my life. Not really completely change it like I hoped. It will be enough to make us debt free. Not filthy rich. I plan to cash in what I really need to do what I need to do and wait on the rest, unless forced to exchange quickly because of a re denomination deadline. I pretty much ignore the crap posted at other websites. It's just that: crap. Who needs it. Yes, I did drag in 2 family members, and 1 friend. I explained that it's monopoly money now, and may always be, but what the heck. I knew if I was wrong and I did turn out to be filthy rich for it, they'd hate me forever for not sharing. They aren't watching anything...they're waiting for me to tell them to do something with it. Two of them forgot all about it! So their frame of mind is in the right place. It's not healthy to be invested and have it waste your life. I really don't sit here all day refreshing the CBI site to see it if "popped".

Absolutely agree. Eating well is not more expensive as long as you ditch the expensive bagged, canned, boxed processed food we're all so used to. Eat for your blood type (there is a book about that...). Most farm boys from the midwest do fine on meat & potatoes

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: Kurdistan Ministry of Trade and Industry signed today a memorandum of understanding with the Italian Ministry of Economic Development. The memorandum was signed during the Kurdistan-Italian Economic Forum held today in Arbil. The Italian Minister Paolo Romani made a speech at the opening session in which he said “the previous regime made greater sufferings to this people, but we came to change it and start a new stage with you of development and reconstruction”. He pointed out that the Italian embassy has opened a consulate inKurdistan, with the hopes of having direct flight with the Kurdish region. “Italian businessmen regard Kurdistan as the gate for entering Iraq”, he added. Kurdish Minister of Trade and Industry Sinan Chalabi said that there are 1809 foreign companies, including 212 Europeans. “The participation of the Italian companies will help bring more of the European companies here”, he added. Trade relations advisor Fathi Mohammed told IraqiNews.com that this forum is one of a series that will be made in Kurdistan in order to reach agreements with well-known Italian companies, as well as it is a message to the European companies that the Kurdish region is characterized with security and economic stability.236 http://www.iraqinews.com/economy/trade-memorandum-signed-between-kurdistan-and-italy/

Excellent. Then we're going to stop blaming Bush, right?

I believe re-denomination means that they will have to issue smaller denominations, and remove the larger denominations from the physical supply of currency. Not that the value will change.

Was this thread a joke? Proof=This teenager reading but never identifying a sales ad?

Because some of us just can't help it. It will be nice to thrive in spite of our POTUS.

I think that anyone who believes they or anybody else has any ability whatsoever to nail down a number for what our investment will be worth, beyond pure speculation, is just a fool like so many gurus on other sites that have been saying the "RV will be tomorrow, guaranteed" for months, going on years. Nobody has a crystal ball, and at best it is an educated guess, some more educated than others. If that were not the case, entire fortunes would not have been lost in the stock market in the last decade. I believe it is wisdom that Adam always resists giving numbers, and time frames, because nobody can know, and he knows it. This is reason enough for Adam to have earned my respect. Adam is a pretty sharp guy, and always states clearly that his "number" is a "guess." He gets a ration if he doesn't make a guess, folks beg him for a guess. Then he gets a ration when he does make a guess and doesn't write a book explaining all of the ins, outs, and whytofores. We ask him for his opinion, because we value what he thinks, and believe that he has insight that the rest of us don't have. I'd like to see posts like this in the future more along the lines of a discussion than as an oppositional expression. I think there's merit in what you pointed out, but I'm irritated by the tone with which it was delivered. And I am paying, and that means nothing, except that I am going to be better prepared and protected with my kazillions than you will be.

I am appalled at how Adam was treated in Chat. I suggest that the live chat is moved to VIP only and not on the public board. It would eliminate lots of this rude crap. Then the chat could be copied to the public board. After all, isn't nearly everyone who is truly invested in the Dinar a member of the VIP? I know it was one of the best parts of the investment that I've made. Just my never humble opinion.

This was a the great post on this thread. almost wrecked my screen trying to kill the bug.

Well. I'm thinking that maybe it would be a good idea for no human being to neither drink, nor rub on the skin, nor inhale the airborne fumes of gasoline or the byproducts of gasoline. I don't know how I'm going to live without it. Gasoline is the base out of which I make a very expensive brand of perfume that sells here in the US. Oh, I almost forgot. We should definitely not deliver it IV either. Seriously, though, can somebody please explain to me why cancer causing ingredients added to gasoline makes any difference? Is it because the carcinogens are present in the exhaust (which is toxic as hell anyway?) Is this actually newsworthy? (And I don't mean to post here, I mean why does anybody care anywhere?)

And if the dollar tanks, what shall we exchange it for? I can see that I'm in way over my head!

I just have to say...it did take them how many wars and 16 years to do what our current President has done in...2 1/2 years? A little perspective is sometimes useful.

Please badge me. Next time I get one out to flash somebody I'll post the pic.

There are 896 people in this country with my exact first name, middle initial, and last name. They do not all have my address. If the Feds want to go to a lot of trouble, they can try to match that up to me, but it would be hard, since none of my financial information is related to my address, but rather to a PO box. I only use my physical address for deliveries. So. I'm not thinking they're gonna have a easy time with no other identifying information. Besides, it's a relatively small amount, and I'm not thinking they're paying attention to such a paltry sum. They've got bigger fish to fry, like some of you So. I think I'll take the Dinar to the sister and let her have at it. But I'm going to feel kind of bad if it ends up being worth a .25M. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. After listening to the conference call on the offshore corporations and bank account in Belize, it looks like that's the only way to go to manage the wealth we're about to create. Unfortunately, it also looks like it might be too late. If we RV next week, I'm screwed, and short term gains, here I come. But I have to look at it like this: it will still be enough money to ease all my pain. My biggest fear is the Feds thinking I'm a cash machine all of a sudden, because I stumbled into something like this once. I dunno.

Nevermind. I apparently can't read.

I went there first for my lineup of evening check-ins...and my heart stopped. I wish we knew.

My sister sent me enough money to buy her the minimum investment, and I'm holding it. I'm not excited about cashing it in for her, and paying taxes on my return. I want to hand her the currency she paid for and stay out of it, but the receipt for the purchase is obviously in my name. If she takes this in to an exchanging bank, will she have to prove where she got it? Any suggestions if she does? I apologize if this question has been answered; I did search and find nothing that satisfactorily answers my question. Thanks!
