    Anyone that has to come on  forum and tries to talk down to grown ups and tell them how smart he is and reminds them of his Masters and Doctors degrees has serious social issues in my book,,,More than likely could never make the football team , never dated the cheerleader, could only blow his horn from the band stand and is still BLOWING it today.

    Man you need to reread instead of jumping to conclusions. Someone said I should be doing something else. I said I have earned a Master and working on a Doctor degree since being at this site. Never said I earned a doctor degree. The issue you should really have is your reading comprehension and retention that is seriously lacking.

    Actually i am having fun..getting a good laugh right now. ;)

    Man I have been laughing since this started. Especially with the call for a mod to save the dude above. Too many people get their panties in a wad over the slightest thing and its fun to "discuss" things with them. 

     

    Although I do need help with Red Ocean and Blue Ocean theory and strategy. That is more fun right now.

    I would not usually butt in here but i do have to ask this. Theseus if you dont really think that it will rv until 2019, then why dont you just keep that to yourself and let all of the rest of us have rainbow thoughts and maybe fart if we want to. Your analysis is just that...yours. Our analysis is just that....ours. I dont think squashing someones hopes for the gain of ones ego is really necessary at this point. We are all grown ups and can hope, pray, laugh, cry, *****, love, and maybe have some fun along the way in this investment without having someone constantly coming along and thinking they need to correct our thinking. I prefer my own thoughts and ideas, thank you very much. Good luck in your studies. ;)

    Then why did you just post this opinion? If you prefer your own? I am not the one who said there is no April 30 deadline when a lot of people here did. I am not the one who confused the HCA with the HCL and some still do to this day. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Everyone is entitled to express their opinion, even you. I never said one time the RV will not happen, I have always contended it will. I have contended it won't be this year or the next. Aren't you having fun?

    This is an interesting read. Cheers!, T.

    The projected numbers for 2017 oil prices are off by 15-18%, so far, in 'Text Table 1. Iraq: Selected Economic Indicators, 2013–21' (pp.13 of 109). Not sure what it all means, but it is clearly a significant piece of information to work through.

     

     Considering the date of the review, December 2016, oil prices have gone up since where they were when the research was done for the review. The next review in the agreement is approaching. Will be interesting to see the progress Iraq has made, outside of news articles.  You also have to remember that this is the first review after the agreement was made and agreed to. The original letter from Iraq starts back in May 2016 and is agreed to by the IMF in June 2016. there is a clear paper trail.

  4. Nah I am good, the RV just won't happen this year. Too many people know people who know people that know people who know people in this game to be fully reliable. Say what you will RV will just not happen this year or even next. Or even three months after the HCL is passed. They can open all the accounts they want, still doesn't translate to an RV.

    There is no deadline, who do you think is going to pay you at redemption...where's the money coming from..cbi ...na...us treasury...naaaa....I know where the money is coming from...have you ever wondered where it's coming from...maybe your owl knows more than you do... ask it. None the less...I know where the money to pay currency holders is coming from...the specific accounts backed by gold....that the fed made obsolete in 1971...I know the accounts...therefore I know people acquainted with those people and I know the accounts will open this year..  

    You mean the cash reserves that are slowly being dwindled down due to deficits? Deficits that Iraq is currenlty looking to finance in 2018? The cash reserves that are expected to bottom out around 2021? Those reserves? The gold that is disappearing from the CBI because Iraq needs to meet its financial obligations but can't?

  6. LOL people negged me when I said the IQD would not RV until after 2017 before the Agreement went out. People like you guys said oh no it will RV at the beginning of 2017. On May 1 we enter the middle portion of 2017 and yet no RV to this point. Neg me all you want, I am grounded in reality not in wishful thinking and unicorns farting rainbows. Since I have been here every year during the budget, its going to RV. It doesn't people are pissed. If you listen to what Iraq is doing, they are working with the IMF on getting things straight. Where they are at now and where they need to be to RV is still a long ways off. There is still too much for them to accomplish before the HCL is ever going to be passed and even when it does the RV won't happen right away. I think you giys know this but really just want this to be over and think I bring negatve news. It's only negative in your eyes when I say it ahead of the fact and you praise it when it happens. Like electricity, its in the Agreement. A lot of things that have been in the news is exactly in line with the agreement and the things Iraq needs to work on. So keep dreaming the RV will happen on April 30 or even this year. From all indications I have seen it won't and I don't parse that with champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

     

    There are only a few select sites I do visit on the internet this is one. Most other times, the work I do for school is most f my time. 

     

    One other thing just because I say this won't happen until after 2019 doesn't translate into "this won't happen" as some of you think. I do think this will happen.

    Iraq : First Review of the Three-Year Stand-By Arrangement and Financing Assurances Review, Requests for Waivers of Nonobservance and Applicability of Performance Criteria, Modification of Performance Criteria, and Rephasing of the Arrangement-Press Release; Staff Report; and Statement by the Executive Director for Iraq

    Summary:

    This paper discusses Iraq’s First Review of the Three-Year Stand-by Arrangement (SBA) and Financing Assurances Review, and Requests for Waivers of Nonobservance and Applicability of Performance Criteria (PCs). Two PCs at end September appear to have been met on the basis of preliminary unaudited data. One PC at end-June 2016 was missed. One continuous PC was missed. Completion of some structural benchmarks was delayed, but progress is being made for each. Hence, program performance has been mixed, but understandings on sufficient corrective actions have been reached to put the program back on track. The IMF staff recommends completion of the first review under the SBA and the financing assurances review and modification of the PCs and related rephrasing.

     

    Notice the forecasted dates on the charts through 2021.

    That is right Climber....Which is why I wonder why he keeps coming here...If I thought it was in 2019, I would be involved with other things.  But hey, that´s me.

     

    I am involved in other things, I have earned a Master degree and now working on my Doctor of Business Administration, both in Business Intelligence.  And this is since I have joined this site. I expect to have my DBA in Business Intelligence before the RV happens.

    Where can we fund the 2016 plan please ?

    If you do not know about the 2016 Iraq IMF Agreement, not plan, outlining benchmarks Iraq must hit, then you haven't been paying close enough attention and are no better than those who got into this thinking it will happen over night. I spoke about it shortly after it hit the presses and will continue to do so. Visit the Iraq and the IMF page for more information. Yes, true Iraq will RV on its own schedule but with the help of the IMF to guide it. 

     

    How many times have people said this is the year, in 2010? 2011? 2012? 2013? 2014? 2015? 2016? and 2017? No one but the CBI knows but in my opinion and it is just that, indications from the 2016 Agreement are pointing to after June 2019.

  10. Cassini Spacecraft Starts Weaving Between Saturn And Its Rings

    April 26, 20179:13 AM ET

    NASA's Cassini spacecraft made its first dive between Saturn and its rings early Wednesday, as the final act in a nearly 20-year mission.

    NASA/JPL-Caltech

    If all goes to plan, NASA's Cassini spacecraft will beam new images of Saturn and its rings to Earth early Thursday, sharing data collected Wednesday from its first dive through the gap between the planet and its striped belt of ice and rock particles.

    Today's dive also marks the start of the final phase in the craft's 13-year visit to Saturn. Days ago, it used the gravity of Saturn's moon Titan to bend its path toward its eventual destruction on the planet.

    Cassini descended below the ring plane around 5 a.m. ET Wednesday, but the antenna it would normally use to send images is instead being used to deflect potentially harmful objects away from its instruments. As it performed the move, the craft's Twitter feed announced, "Shields Up!"

    Shields Up! As we pass over #Saturn, we're turning our high-gain antenna into a shield RIGHT NOW to deflect oncoming ring particles.

     

    "Because that gap is a region no spacecraft has ever explored, Cassini will use its dish-shaped high-gain antenna (13 feet or 4 meters across) as a protective shield while passing through the ring plane," NASA says. "No particles larger than smoke particles are expected, but the precautionary measure is being taken on the first dive."

     
     

    For today's maneuver, the craft crossed the ring plane as it moved from north to south across Saturn. The gap between Saturn and its rings is about 1,500 miles wide.

    Cassini is expected to get back in touch with the Deep Space Network antenna in Goldstone, Calif., by around 3 a.m. ET Thursday; the first images should be available shortly afterward, NASA says.

    The move is the first in what NASA is calling Cassini's Grand Finale, as it weaves its way between Saturn and its rings in a series of 22 dives that will culminate in what the agency describes as "a science-rich plunge into Saturn's atmosphere on Sept. 15."

    Cassini was launched in 1997; its mission is slated to end one month before the 20-year mark.

    Among the photos sent back by Cassini is a unique view of Earth as seen from Saturn, in what was hailed as a new perspective of our "pale blue dot" in space.

    An image taken on July 19, 2013, by the wide-angle camera on NASA's Cassini spacecraft captured Saturn, its rings and our planet Earth, which is the tiny dot in the lower right.

    NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute

    When that image was released in 2013, the Two-Way wrote, "Earth and all its trillions of creatures are seen as a speck of light — lower right — in the vastness of space. What's more, Cassini captures Earth while also capturing Saturn's rings."

  11. If they force Iraq to RV before the 2016 agreement is complete, the dinar is going to come in much, much, lower than where everyone wants, lower than 0.10 and maybe lower than 0.01. If they complete the 2016 agreement on schedule, in June/July 2019, then Iraq will be in a good place for an RV and should come out at the projected price point everyone so desires, north of 0.86.

                Graduation certificates were distributed  (If you pass the course)...himmmm sounds like high stakes here.            

    First, this is only for contractors of construction companies. 

    Second, where do I get my "participation trophy"?

    Lastly, I want to get a job in a rock and roll band!

     

  13. Why make them eat anything. Kill two birds with one stone...err bullet. Dip the bullet in pigs blood and when they are buried put the leavings of the butchered pigs/boars in with their carcasses.

    The mere fact pig's are not halal in Islam is just more evidence Islam stole its ideology and practices from Judaism.
