  1. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/01/22/king-abdullah-saudi-arabia-dead-at-0-state-tv-reports/ Well, I didn't know him but maybe he was a good man. Let's just hope his half brother is a good person and can get along with others.
  2. Things seem to be happening all over. Swiss depeg from the Euro. The EU starts a QE of I believe they said 60 billion a month. Canada Central Bank cuts it's key intrerest rate by 1/4% fueled by the low prices for Crude. There was talk about Germany breaking away from the Euro. Oil prices continue to fall, but reports from experts say the price will begin to rise soon. It was stated on CNBC that yes there were 1,000 private jets in Davos today. There is some speculation as to what will come out of the Davos meetings. Is this where China and Germany break away from their neighbors and undervalued currencies? Who knows. I hope Iraq will come away from Davos, depeg away from the USD, be introduced back into the international markets and then we can reap the fruits of our long awaited journey. I have no link. All this was stated on CNBC at around 9 am cst this morning. Just sharing what I thought to be interesting.
  3. Take them to the desert and let the ants have them. Turn their bodies back into fossil fuels when they decay. Then you sell them as oil.
  4. USD/MXN 14.5668 -0.0989 -0.67% USD/CNY 6.2070 +0.0195 +0.32% USD/VND 21,333.5 -15.5 -0.07% Crude Oil 48.49 +2.24 +4.84% USD/IQD 1,185.00 -1.00 -0.08% Silver 17.813 +0.711 +4.16% Gold 1,280.70 +15.90 +1.26 This is what my site says as of now. I watch it everyday. I have seen it as low as 1130 and I got excited too. The next morning it was back to 1185. I don't think it is really anything to be concerned nor excited about. I believe it will happen just like the Swiss and just happen. Nobody will know, it will just happen. Hold on to what you have and lets all keep believing. I need this as bad as anyone and I know it will happen, I just don't know when. Good things are happening over there and we are a lot closer than we have ever been. IMO of course. Now what people have not said a word about is the VND. Has anyone noticed that they devalued the Dong by 2% like a month ago and it has pretty much gained back the 2%? This is the second time in I believe 6 months they have done this and it has gained the value back. Makes me glad I invested in it also. Don't run out and buy some, but it is interesting.
  5. This is just a thought so play nice lol. I was sitting here reading all the sites, all the predictions and a thought entered my head. Yeah it's scarey but it could happen. Remember when the Fed was talking interest rate hikes back a few months ago? They stated that it was going to happen either the beginning of June or the beginning of September at the latest. I watched it on TV. Really didn't think about it much until now. Maybe that was our hint of when this thing may happen. As we all know and are proud of the new Iraqi government for all their progress, we still know they have a few issues. They have lower oil prices, they are dealing with ISIS, and are still weeding out corruption. None of these will be fixed by tomorrow, lol, we all know that. Several of the issues we think are outstanding, I believe, are already completed, ie; HCL, budget, and paying of Kuwait. So let's look at my perspective on things, and this is ONLY MY OPINION. The Fed stated raising rates mid-year. That would give the GOI six months to finish eradicating ISIS. I also heard so-called experts state that oil prices will be back up to around $80/bbl by mid-year. The GOI has an extra 6 months to weed out the corruption. The Iraqi armed forces would have 6 more months to train under allied forces and be more able to protect the country and provide security. Now to put it together. ISISis gone from Iraq. Iraq is now secure and stable. Oil is back at the $80 dollar target and they are producing twice as much as before the war. They are rid of the corrupt weasels. All this in time for Ramandan or close to it, I don remember when it starts this year. As for the U.S. we get all the influx from new found millionaires to bolster the economy. The Feds raise the interest rates. Taxes on the new found wealth won't be collected until 2016. What is 2016? Oh yeah election year. Let's take the new tax monies and any monies made from the government stockpiles and pay some on the deficit along with giving the voters a little back in tax breaks just in time for a certain party to take all the credit. If I'm not mistaken isn't Jeb Bush going to make a run for president? Isn't his daddy the one that set all this up? I don't know if I'm right or wrong, just something I was pondering and thought I would get your thought as well. Scrappy
  6. Tried to get into cHat and it says the chat room key is expired. Any ideas.
  7. Well to get the figure they wrote out in words you would have to delete the 2 of the 0's. 180,517,970,00 reduced to 1,805,179,700.00. Just say'n.

  14. 11/2014 0.801411 0.797512 0.806907 15 11/1992 0.795176 0.778586 0.807059 21 http://fxtop.com/en/historical-exchange-rates.php?A=1&C1=USD&C2=EUR&DD1=&MM1=&YYYY1=&B=1&P=&I=1&DD2=22&MM2=11&YYYY2=2014&btnOK=Go%21 I was just wondering where the USD was at the begining of the war compared to now. I used the same months of the years for the comparison. So after 22 years and with all the QE going on here with the USD, it is now back to relatively the same rate as the year and month of the starting of the war. I find it interesting and I know the USD goes up and down but it has been hanging low at between .74 and .76, now it has made it all the way back to .80. Why? Why hasn't it deflated with all the QE? The USG is really good at hiding facts from us, question is, what are they hiding and why? To me with oil being down, gold and silver being down, QE done and gone for now, and the USD being back to where it was during the year of the war, isn't it time to let Iraq have their value back to where it was before the war? Seems fair and it could be part of the puzzle to help with the re-alignment. Just throwing things out here. Don't shoot me, lol, Just killing the afternoon hours. Leave some feedback tho. I would like opinions. US Dollar Index 88.39 +0.68 +0.78% This is todays read. Really high at .88.
