If someone with good sense had cashed out, do you really believe they would be hanging around here? Unless you're Turki (or maybe his wife) you have no clue when this thing is going to trigger. IMO, ALL else is B.S.

This has been circulating for some time. If at all true, simply wait and exchange your dinar/dong without an NDA at market rates. If the judge is correct and rates increase over time, you will profit by your patience and perseverance. The most important thing is that you remain in control.

I suggest America's Garden Spot, Newark, N.J.

They don't hide because they have no shame. When reality works out against their narrative, they simply rename it "climate change" and claim that essentially anything that happens, proves that humans are responsible. Facts just get in the way of their agenda.

IMO the 35 trillion is misinformation. Most currency outside of Iraq is held by central banks and much of it will be used for oil (swaps) purchases in future. A non-starter and possible late minute misdirection....as we have always been told will happen right before something material happens.

After almost five years I don't get too excited about anything anymore. Four countries adjusting their currencies may well turn out to be the likes of Western Samoa, Moldavia, East Timor, and Genovia (was that Western or Southern Genovia?). Don't hold your breath or lose any sleep.

It's also about misdirection....with everything.

Be glad that most people don't get it. These are the same people that will ridicule and belittle your investment decision and will be the same ones that, after an announced revaluation, will scream unfairness and their entitlement to share. They're like the dog that wants to be on both sides of the door at the same time.

Here's one for the crap department. Those same evil healthcare companies that supposedly screwed us for decades; how are you going to feel when our Emperor gives them bailouts to make up for losses that Obamacare causes them? They will be laughing all the way to the bank and the joke will be on all us taxpayers. They don't lose. If you don't believe it, read Obamacare which reportedly provides for bailouts to the healthcare industry if they sustain losses. Seems like the real screw job is just beginning.

Rates on CBI.IQ reappeared on Thursday morning at the 1166 1164 indicative buy sell rates. No change there. Another site coming for cross currency exchange rates? Anyone's guess at this point.

Those appear to be the official CBI exchange rate documents for each date signed off by the Central Bank. Why put those on the site unless you are now establishing new rates that may extend officially outside the country (i.e. internationally traded). Just a guess.

must be Latin for temper.

Tuesday Jan 14th, third day CBI.IQ showing blanks for all currencies. Meanwhile, auctions continue at 1166. What is one to make of this?

Agreed. Although I am a relative newbie (only slightly less than 5 years) I have never seen blanks like this. I've seen dashes or missing quotes for various currencies, but nothing quite like this. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

I have been here for five years and have never seen this. May not mean anything......or may signal some sort of material change. Here's hoping.

cbi.iq at last check still shows official indicative rates at 1166 1164. When that changes, you can get excited.

Ah, North Korea, land of freakazoids, led by that little monster eraser-head Kim. Dennis Rodman better hope he doesn't tick the little man off, lest he become doggie food. I'd say Rodman and Kim were made for each other. Maybe he should move to that little totalitarian shangrila permanently.

All I know is...it's always just one more thing that needs to be completed before Iraq can drop the three zeros and RV/RI, and we're always just a breath away. Never changes.

It's Tuesday or Wednesday until it isn't.....and then we start the cycle all over again. Never changes.

The Iraqis don't need another excuse not to RV their currency; they have proved very good at finding any number of excuses over the years and this is yet just another.

The sad reality is that Obama cares more about his own leftist agenda than he does about securing peace in a terriorist-free Iraq. It is shameful that he has squandered the blood and treasure we spent in that country......and further alarming that many low-information Americans don't even understand or care why we were there.

if the CBI and GOI are consistent, they will raise the cost of goods to Iraqi citizens by implementing tariffs and then fail to increase the value of the dinar, thereby putting increased economic and financial pressure on their citizens.

Rather than looking at the auctions, I would focus on Obama's willful ceding of Iraq to Al Qaeda. It is shameful what he has done in giving back the country to the terrorists. Imagine if you had a loved one that died in Iraq ridding that nation of the same Islamists that Obama has now allowed to overrun major cities in Iraq. What impact will that have on an RV? Perhaps much more than auctions.

Great, now let's get them into the WTO and we can get this puppy done.

Implementation of the Tariff Law is noteworthy and potentially an important piece of an RV. If we could confirm, without a doubt, that they had joined the WTO, a rate change could be imminent.
