10-17-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG Article: "Commission likely to announce the final results of the parliamentary elections by this date" Quote: "The spokesman for the Electoral Commission for Elections and Referendum in the Kurdistan Region, Monday, announced the final results of the parliamentary elections in Kurdistan within 5 to 7 days." There is a reason they haven’t been very forthcoming with these results… we shall soon see why. 10-16-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article quote: "...the Financial Advisor to the Prime Minister confirmed the appearance of Mohammed Salih on Sunday that the sovereign wealth fund (now 20 trillion dollars (not dinars) will be launched next year 2019 after the implementation of the law of the National Oil Company, noting that the fund will be used for development purposes directly." Talk about “financial stability”? WOW! 10-16-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni‏ Another article states...Iraq is going to have a great economic renaissance and investment from non-oil in the coming period. Let's hope. 10-16-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraqi news reports that PM Madhi will announce his complete cabinet on Thursday or Saturday. Bankers are meeting later today to discuss the release details and expected date of the RV. 10-16-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling If I see there is no path at all. I have no problem of telling you, ‘Hey guys this probably is not going to work out.’ I have absolutely no problem telling you all knock it off and get out. I’m not emotionally, physically, anything,attached to this. I’m speculating and I’m watching the numbers. Now I happen to think it’s going to revalue and I have absolute confidence that it’s going to. And you guys know why… because I’m showing you the numbers. I keep going over it over and over again. Absolute confidence...(Post 1 of 2)...More to follow... 10-16-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling …But if anything ever comes up…I will say hey guys shut it down, get rid of your dinar at any rate you can because it’s not going to revalue. I promise you that…nothing has changed. If the CBI has not put anything out then nothing has changed…unbelievable happy situation for us what Iraq wants to do…what Iran is plotting for Iraq to do. That’s what they want. All of a sudden it’s a big deal for Iraq to revalue because they can benefit from it. Why? Because their country is being shut off from the world. That’s a huge plus for us. You should be excited. I’m not kidding, you should be very very excited because it means something. Now what’s the rate and what’s the date it’s going to come out? I haven’t got a clue…(Post 2 of 2).. 10-16-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Eight days remaining for Mahdi to meet his targeted date of October 24 to form the next government. 10-16-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article quote: "The initial draft of the budget law of 2019 INCLUDED A MAJOR ECONOMIC BOOM FOR THE COUNTRY. THIS INCREASE IN INVESTMENT SPENDING, WILL REVIVE THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND INVESTMENT IN THE COUNTRY, which contributes to increase the recruitment of labor and reduce unemployment rates in the country.” 2018 budget was based on $45+ for a barrel of oil. Oil is now almost double that amount $70+. So there is a huge surplus of oil revenues. Iraq is not only swimming in oil they are also swimming in mullah (money).

10-15-2018 Newshound Guru Shredd Article: "Central Bank: delete the zeros still exists and the monetary bloc amounts to 44 trillion dinars" Quote: "The Central Bank of Iraq, on Thursday, that the deletion of zeros is still in place, indicating that the amount of cash mass in the market is 44 trillion dinars." Great to see this. We've talked a ton about this over the past several years. If this project continues, that means sufficient stability is achieved and that's exciting news. 10-15-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We know that much is changing... There is much in our favor and Iraq is more equipped to reinstate their currency now more than ever...It seems all indicators are VERY good that the CBI is targeting EARLY 2019 for the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar... 10-15-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 On Sunday, Iraqi TV reported that several members of Parliament are planning to refuse some of the names already submitted by Mahdi. If they do, the Prime Minister-Designate will have 30 days to get those names replaced. 10-15-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch Article: "CBI: No intention to withdraw new currencies" Quote: "The bank stresses that efforts are continuing to introduce more small paper classes..." More small classes. Plural. Fascinating. That's All Folks - Sleep Well..! RON

From late Sunday Night: 10-14-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 ...if we see any more GOI seating, which we feel in our opinion, we’ll see, some AMAZING names, come up very soon. Theres also something else that we should see between now and next Monday. In my opinion, look for Mahdi to meet with the Central Bank of Iraq. 10-14-2018 Newshound Guru Don961 [In this article it states "Abdul Mahdi has 30 days to form his government and is likely to succeed" When did the 30 days start?] Nov. 3 is the end of the mandate to form a cabinet ... it can be satisfied any time before that of course. 10-14-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf Article quote: "Experts predict this announcement will trigger one of the most profound transfers of wealth in our lifetime." That was a quote from an article being discussed a few days ago. I said a while back that there were indications from outside dinarland of something positive this year and that is still the case. ...Obviously nothing is cast in stone but optimism is higher than ever before but not going to say too much in public. Early Monday Morning: 10-15-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "LATEST CURRENCY CRISIS IS A FABRICATED, A POLITICAL SENSATION AIMED AT HITTING THE NATIONAL CURRENCY AND THE NATIONAL ECONOMY" I would suggest everyone ignore...these articles about the new format of the currency and the signatures issues. The formats are all approved probably months is not years ago. So what is important in this article for us then? They are telling us the timing of the reinstatement is important as it coincides with high oil prices. Did I not tell everyone that this was something we had to look for and dependency on the timing? ...High Oil prices is part of having the “appropriate environment” for the RV. 10-15-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling Anyone can have an opinion on the Iraqi Dinar, up or down. It does not matter. That is not illegal…two, it is not illegal to sell Iraqi Dinar…Iraq is a country. It’s their currency. It’s not a scam. It’s a country’s currency…this is a legitimate opportunity. We are speculating on the time and the rate. It’s nothing but pure speculation… It's the CBI. They have the authority…Did the CBI put out a statement saying they were not going to revalue their currency? That they have no plan at all to add value to their currency? What about the Ministry of Finance? What about the Ministry of Planning? What about Parliament? That kind of narrows it down. You have four solid entities that you can watch…that you can get a bearing. It’s that simple…what matters is what the CBI says…the news coming out of Iraq is phenomenal..!

10-14-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Article quote: "The new government will include independent ministers and other representatives from major parties, who will be selected before the deadline Abdul-Mahdi set on October 24." So, it appears that the constitutional deadline is November 2nd, but Mahdi has targeted October 24th as the date for the formation of the new/next government. 10-14-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 Mohammed Saleh on Sunday said that the sovereign wealth fund will be launched next year after the implementation of the law of the National Oil Company, noting that funds will be used for development purposes directly...#iraq got money like crazy but pretend they poor LOL..! 10-14-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling …If it doesn’t come from the CBI crumble it up in a little ball and throw it in the…trash..! Because it means nothing. Remember, the authority comes from the CBI. If it does not come from the CBI, it does not exist…one of the scenarios out there, what if they do produce new notes? Like a 1000 note or the notes that are already out there that we have? There is nothing wrong with that. They gotta replace the currency sooner or later with new currency. This stuff gets damaged, it gets old…they honor different people or different heritage sites…that’s one of the new currencies coming out in Iraq - SUPPOSEDLY..! Again I have not heard that from the CBI…it definitely didn’t come from parliament…It didn’t come from the Minister of Planning…It didn’t come from the Minister of Finance. So that’s pretty much it. You have the entities that can point Iraq into a certain direction and you have the actual entity that performs and manages it. That’s the CBI. Nothing in these articles say they’re in line with these entities… 10-14-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "University of Ceyhan to host a symposium on the Iraqi currency next Monday" Quote: "the lecture will be about the importance of enhancing confidence in the Iraqi currency in light of the major challenges facing the global monetary system as a result of the economic war between the major powers." A high level show and tell on Monday, interesting. Timing of the 2019 budget that needs to be addressed by the HOR by the 15th, Monday. Confidence comes from a strong currency and 1190 is not strong, by any stretch of the means. An international rate (calculation) applied accordingly along with the new small categories with metals will do the trick, just as the economist told us that he doesn't mind the Alak signature on the currency, just get it to, or at least 1:1... LOL..!! Any later reasonable guru posts will be added as a REPLY, so check back after 9 PM EDT. Blessings....RON

Thanks Heavy....it's good to reconnect with you again. I really can't take credit for that. Be blessed my friend. Ron

10-13-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 On the Iraqi TV news, Prime Minister-Designate Madhi was stating that his cabinet will be selected and in place within the next 10 days. Parliament held its meeting today and announced the names of all of the new committees. 10-13-2018 Newshound Guru Phillyman ...I listened to [Guru] Breitlings latest. For what its worth he believes that Iran would support the RV (or whatever you want to label it) due to the major squeeze that the US and sanctions are putting on them. As you know, sanctions really notch up in November. I...found this article which just showed up in Iraq Business News to give me pause. "Iran ready to establish joint bank with Iraq" Quotes: "Iran’s private banks have reportedly laid the groundwork for setting up a joint bank with their counterparts in Iraq."; "...the bank would operate under the regulations of central banks of the two countries to facilitate money transfer." [reference Guru Breitling 10-13-2018] 10-13-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Do y'all remember back in 2012 when al-Maliki ran the current CBI Governor Shabibi out of the country? Well in recent days the uprising over Ali al-Alaq signature on the new printed notes has the smell of Maliki. What I mean by that is all of the complaining that he didn't have authority to put a signature on the new notes, and now the recent lawsuit against him for doing so seems like an attempt to stop progress and monetary policy and its tracks. I may be wrong but this looks like an opportunity for Maliki to run Alaq out of his proxy CBI position just like he did Shabibi and slow down the CBI's attempt to develop banking and engage it with the world's financial system. Maliki has already found out that the best way to stop progress is to run the governor out of the CBI as it would set back progress several years. I hope I'm wrong and this is something that blows over in a few days and we can get back to taking steps forward. 10-13-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "CBI SAYS... "PROJECT DELETE THE ZEROS OF THE IRAQI CURRENCY STILL STANDS," So the CBI...confirmed...that the plan was derived in 2011 and then postponed the last time in 2014 due to ISIS...The mere fact that: 1. the CBI is now taking action on the issuing of these new formatted smaller category notes; 2. this news in this article; 3. along with the timing of all of these items is telling us that the CBI is going ahead not [now?] with the project to delete the zeros. ...they did in fact shrink the money supply from about 130 trillion dinars to 44 trillion dinars. Now they next move is to convert the 44 trillion to 44 billion by dropping 3 zeros. 44,000,000,000,000 - goes to 44,000,000,000. This is all VERY good news and we should...getting our champaign chilled. Again I say let’s look for the 50 and 100 dinar notes to come out along with the coins. This will be our sign they are about to reinstate the currency back to the global exchanges for public trading. 10-13-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling Nothing but positive news, very very good news…very happy…coming out of Iraq…The articles coming out of Iraq and what they are going to do with their currency…All of a sudden you hear massive talk from Iran and the Shia inside of Iraq, ‘Hey maybe it’s a good idea that the dinar revalues.’…it’s exactly what I talked about before all of this went down a couple months ago. They are going to have to decide if they want to do business with the biggest economic engine in the history of all mankind, with the strongest currency that has ever existed in the history of all mankind and the biggest markets that have ever existed in all mankind or they can do business with…Iran. Now there’s a decision for you right? That’s what’s happening. This whole thing has to do with what Iran can have access to. They basically look at Iraq as their piggybank. So not only do they want to get as many US dollars out of Iraq, now they’re also saying, ‘Hey, it’s probably a cool idea…Iraq revalue it’s currency.’ It’s not just small talk…They are trying to add value to the currency. 10-13-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 He [Guru Walkingstick] said “When the second article comes out, with all the information, it literally tells you, we’re reinstating our currency. Yesss...! They can come out with the rate change at that time.” But he’s telling me “No. This must NOT FAIL with the citizens! This must be perfect with the citizens! They are willing to continue baby-step them, and treat them gently, in introducing what they need to do.” ...We are not waiting for the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. We are now WELCOMING IT! 10-13-2018 Newshound Guru G-Lin Maliki has been the biggest resistance to the monetary change since 2010. I think this new parliament may take Iraq in a new direction. JMO. Have a good night everyone...RON

PLEASE NOTE: These are Friday's (12 Oct) Guru Posts, but were Posted above this morning (Sat - 13 Oct)...! RON

10-12-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf "Delete the zeros" or redenomination will take some time to prepare for implementation, usually about 2 years. In the meantime there are positive indications for a very good Christmas. 10-12-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 So the next part we’re looking for...and we already know this, but it’s the second article. It will give them the date of when the value is going to go up. It will tell them when they have to go to the bank. It will have the pictures of all the New Small Category Notes and the Coins, with the descriptions... It’s even going to explain to them why they are reinstating their currency. 10-12-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 CBI Interim Governor and Board members will meet with Prime Minister designate Mahdi today. (Hmmmm, I wonder what’s up?) Is Mahdi being sworn in today? We’re still awaiting an answer to that one. [What does the Oct 24 date have to do with us?] No more excuses after Oct 24 – supposedly. Let's see if something exciting happens this weekend. 10-12-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch If the CBI does release notes in the 1 dinar to 100 dinar range in the near term, and if there is not an immediate and significant positive change in the exchange rates of the IQD to other national currencies, and I suspect there won't be, don't panic. There may be a very good reason for any significant changes in the exchange rates to stall for a short time while 40 million proud Iraqi citizens get acclimated to their new legal tender. It is vital that any possible release of new classes of currency be done in a way that maintains economic stability for all Iraqi citizens first and foremost. 10-12-2018 Intel Guru Delta We know that they are about to make their move. For them to print Lower Denominations, even the 250, 500, and even the 1000, this give you an indication that the rate has to increase. But definitely a lot of stuff going on. It looks like, for the suitable environment, like you said, and that is an excellent point. It looks like the CBI the rates will start gradually to make their move and we’ll see what the next move is going to be...(post 1 of 2)... 10-12-2018 Intel Guru Delta For them to place more 1000 dinar notes, this gives you the indication that the 3 zero deletion, is coming off the exchange rate. Not from the currency. Otherwise, they never would have printed these. It’s not even a question now. Why they’re printing the 1000 dinar notes if they are going to get rid of them? Because it’s going to come off the exchange rate, and not from the currency by itself. This is really good news! This is a brilliant idea. Now for us of course, this is very important, but of course, we are waiting for the events for them to change the rate. We do believe, that along the way, the rate will change before they introduce the other Lower Denomination. That’s what we are looking for right now....(post 2of 2) 10-12-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "CBI CONFIRMS ON MONDAY OCT 8TH THAT THE CURRENT BANKNOTES OF THE CATEGORIES (25000, 10000, 1000, 500 AND 250) WILL CONTINUE TO BE TRADED WITH THE NEW CATEGORIES ISSUED BY THE BANK WITHOUT ANY INTENTION TO WITHDRAW THEM" ...We are NOT going to have an RV in the month of October or even in November. Our next possible window is maybe December or January... So the last move of the CBI is just reissuing the same denominations already in circulation (20k, 10k 250, 500 and 1000). Yes, this is significant in a way since they are putting “LARGE AMOUNTS” of these smaller categories namely 250, 500 and 1000 which means the citizens are taking to them and using them as petty cash. It is a slow process to get them to use them in daily transactions of small purchases instead of using the larger 3 zero notes and then having to make so much change all the time. But we know at some point the CBI will have to reinstate the dinar and give it a market rate so it can properly function and be traded globally. 10-12-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 Al-Khakani [economist] stressed need to activate small notes for economic & financial benefits for the Iraqi consumer, including category 50 & 100 dinars...

10-11-2018 Intel Guru Delta ...It looks like the 1000 dinar is going to last for a long time, because for them to spend the money in printing, and this is a new design. So looks like, basically, for all of those denominations are going to be forever, until they phase them out, exactly like the US had before. This is exactly what they told us, and it looks like absolutely, you’re right. [reference Frank26 post 10-11-2018] They are going to come up with the 250 and 500,000, but first they’re looking at the other ones, because you all know that the other ones required the rate changes. This is really significant. Really amazing...this gives you an indication that the rate has to increase.
