Weekly update is up I'll close this thread now.

Hey hey Happy Thursday! Thank you to all who responded in this thread yesterday - the support and love that this community shows is nothing short of incredible! Quick update on the Iraqi Dinar for today... I'm very very interested in how things are playing out. It's very easy to get distracted, but we're too smart for that here at DinarVets. POP QUIZ TIME!!! Who is the Prime Minister of Iraq? (Insert Jeopardy music... 🎶) Ok, time's up. The answer is: Abdul Mahdi! (Did I just hear gasps and other noises of shock and awe?!) Yep, Abdul Mahdi. The same guy that was supposed to be replaced. Then the President of Iraq was also going to resign, and there was 15 days to resolve it all, and I believe there was some Hell and Brimstone and perhaps the stock market was about to tank with the impending WWIII... but for some reason, the only thing I've heard about on the news today is a bunch of fluff about IMPEACHMENT of the President of the United States. An Impeachment which, by the way, is going nowhere. It's a non-story. And the DOW is over 29,000 are you laughing at all of this with me yet?! I don't know what bugs you more - fake news, or non-news - but this has the marks of both at the same time! It does not actually annoy me, of course. I let it go in one ear and out the other, as I'm digging through the news for what REALLY matters. Despite the news being clogged up with all the non-news and fake-news headlines, there is actually a lot going on that we should be aware of. For example: The budget isn't a huge deal to me, but the "devil is in the details, as they say. Check out this follow up from @DinarThug - Mahdi, who should have been replaced by now, is not looking like a PM that is on the way out! As a matter of fact... it looks to me like the whole resignation thing is almost blown over and forgotten. Maybe that was the plan from the beginning, or maybe it just worked out that way, but I stated back in November that I like Mahdi in his role. If he does indeed end up staying - and continues to actually govern, as he's doing in the article I linked to above - he's still a good person for that role, very capable of orchestrating the situation we need for a successful RV. We aren't in WWIII. Bitcoin is back over $8600. (Super interesting article here.) The DOW is over 29,000. All good stuff, my friends... closer and closer we inch, every single day! That's it for me right now - more to come later. - Adam

I've heard of ideas like that somewhere...

Lots of opinions lean that way - ordinary income. OSI is much better than a Roth, but to each their own.

Sorry everyone, the day got away from me - nonstop since 4am and I’m just sitting down to dinner with the family. I’ll be back tomorrow with a Weekly.

This practice is currently being reviewed. Thanks for the comment.

I nudged a few things for you, see if that works...

The "2% compliance" deal is good to see, but it's not mandatory for an RV. Consider the organization that "requires" 2% compliance... the theory falls apart after that. Iraq can go 500% out of compliance and push the RV button if they want. So long as the CBI is backing the rate, it will fly.

Is it back, now that you’re signed in?

this. also this. Buddy... I’m positive you can get a fourth roll on that gif!!!

Interestingly enough, this may prove to not even be a setback. It could very well be a booster pack! omg

That thread has been a phenomenal source of information. Serious kudos to our newshounds here!!!!

Good morning and happy Wednesday, to all in Dinarland and everywhere! WOW. What an end to 2019, and what a start to 2020! 2019 ended in Iraq with a flurry of activity. The Prime Minister resigned, the Iraqi President threatened to do the same. There were major protests, huge shifts in the landscape, and a lot of uncertainty. There is so much news and activity right now that it's almost impossible to keep up! This is exactly the type of situation where big things happen, but the world is so busy watching the "news" that it just slips under the radar. The uncertainty continues with the current situation regarding Iraq, largely because of the situation with their neighbor Iran. I'll give my opinions on the situation, but this is a fluid situation - things change fast. Also, some of these are my personal opinions - you don't have to like them, or agree with them. You are entitled to your wrong opinion. Like it or not, the United States just influenced the timing and chances of a near future revalue on the Iraqi currency... but I don't believe the current events have altered the destination at all. In fact, the attack on Iranian terrorist Suleimani - justified or not - is likely in favor of a quicker path to an RV. I said that the protests would take about 6 weeks to wrap up. I was a little short on the timeline, but not much - and they did wrap up. This situation is a continuation, and very similar - it is going to be a bumpy ride, but it won't last forever. When it's over, I believe we will be in a far more favorable position to see the Iraqi currency skyrocket. Yes, I said that word: Skyrocket. The recent protests in Iraq, which started officially at the beginning of October, were largely instigated by the people of Iraq being fed up with the Government of Iraq's then current progress, which was largely influenced by Iran. The "read-between-the-lines" message was pretty simple: "Get Iran out of our country and do something good for us!" Iraq has made official announcements that they want all foreign troops out. The announcement is non-binding for the United States, and there is talk this morning that sanctions may be imposed on Iraq if they don't cooperate with our goal of controlling the Iranian terror machine. Yes, I that too: The Iranian terror machine. War isn't something that anyone should take lightly. The political rhetoric surrounding any serious situation, on the other hand... I tend to laugh that stuff off. For example, the idea that Trump should have gotten approval from Congress prior to sending Soleimani to meet his virgins... are you kidding me?! I suppose he should have followed that with a press conference announcing the attack in advance, and then apologize with a planeload of cash. Right? Anyway... we are indeed in the middle of a very tense and hectic time. I'm sure we are going to see all kinds of Chicken Little Syndrome (I'm calling it "CLS" from now on), we're going to have questions and self doubt and panic... buckle up, hang tight, and be ready. Kind of like what I'm doing, preparing for the comments I'm sure I'll get in response to this Weekly. On another note... my football team is in the playoffs. And Tom Brady isn't. GOOO RRRVVVV!!!!! - Adam P.S. Are you in the weekly Powerball pool? P.P.S. For anyone suffering from CLS, here's some medication:
