Drox has been reading a lot in the last year during my absence. Looks like we've got ourselves a bona fide LOP/RD guru in the house! Great thread, everyone! (Well, not everyone, but I won't call out any names...) Listen to whomever you want, but--REALLY--feel free to think for yourselves as well. FP

Good post Candihar. It's clear that you have a good understanding of the 'behind-the-scenes' operations that pull the strings. I would disagree slightly and say that, rather than the Fed running the show, that the Fed is under the control of these financial giants who run the show. The USA likes to chant the mantra, "We're #1!" and it feels good, but the reality is that the interest-bearing system of control--that you referred to--exists because the Federal Reserve in this country only serves to enslave us to that financial system. The Federal Reserve is likewise enslaved to those who are on its rolls of charter members (...an officially undisclosed list, I'll add. This is officially conspiracy theory. Think Rothschilds, Rockefellers, et. al.) People think that slavery ended in the 1860's, but the truth is that we've all been slaves since 1913. One only needs to watch "The Money Masters" on www.freedocumentaries.org to get a genuine perspective on who controls the puppet and the purse strings worldwide (if you watch with a discerning eye, you can almost see the strings from which Barack dangles, dancing at the behest of the Rothschilds every time he appears to speak.) After seeing that documentary, my perspective on world finance was totally transformed. For anyone who is interested in understanding international finance in the proper frame of reference, this is a must see! And anyone who owns IQD should understand that bigger picture that holds an umbrella over the financial situation in Iraq. FP

People have been "beating [the] dead horse" with "GO RV!!!!!" for years on here who are not "go[ing] away [to] do some research", and I am assuming you aren't encouraging that from the pumpers. People like wicked93gs are obviously approaching the IQD from a circumspect, fiscally-conservative evaluation with realistic expectations of what may happen, and I know from a good deal of experience that such people are in great minority around here. Conversely, there has always been a great supply of posters who attend your degree of thoughtfulness to the exchanges. If you want a website that entirely eradicates all honest and genuine debate (with debate ideally serving to edify and develop our collective learning on the subject), maybe you should consider securing the web domain, "http://www.dinar-pumpers.com/". This may provide you with the environment of cheering, hollering, GO RV'ing, and other mindless banter that you might generally prefer. FP

Count me out of that admission. I would say that we all bought IQD with the hope of lots o' money, but I think anyone who thinks it's just as likely as the 3x scenario is partaking in the 'funny cigarettes' too much. I think that RD is a far more likely scenario with a very remote chance of RV/RI. But I do think that all scenarios will pay out more than I invested (esp. since I'm accruing 11% at Warka while I wait), so for me it's like pizza. You hardly ever get one that is 'bad'. Usually it's either good or better. So I'm skeptical, but holding out for it no matter what. FP

Ahhh... thanks gbosh. I don't know why you would have to do all that instead of just hitting the button down below. I would think that that would be more useful if you are posting this info on a competing web site so that the link back to DV is active over there. Thanks for the info! FP

Hey man,what's the story with your "Read More" links that always go back to the original thread? Is there some back story to this interesting practice you implement? FP

What? Which thread were you in when you clicked reply?

Thanks man! It's nice to feel so welcomed! Well, I hardly think so. I may have been outspoken, but I learned about redenomination here on DV. After reading a lot and doing my best to consider it all without bias, I am admittedly pretty pessimistic. But, not an originator, by any stretch of the imagination. Yeah, E! (which stands for Ennorste and the Entertainment! Channel--more or less synonymous with one another) was ridiculous, IMHO. What annoyed me most is that he shamelessly led so many people down the primrose path like a pied piper, tootin' his flute. And the combination of his lengthy convoluted affirmations were easy for a lot of people to get behind. One, massive "Yeah, what he said" party. I always suspected he had ulterior motives and took advantage of people's trust. If he were just some dummy, I wouldn't have cared so much, but he was obviously a really smart guy, and it seemed that he abused it to mislead people. To what end? Not sure. If you were here and take offense at my characterization of him, how many of you who were here at the time can deny how much cheerleading he constantly did during his time, and where is the RV that he was so certain of so long ago? Probably a dinar dealer in disguise or maybe a competitor. I highly doubt he is a disinterested party who has put so much time and energy into convincing people what a great idea it is to own a lot of IQD. I, however, had nothing to gain from being so vocally doubtful. Gankans was just his lackey. They both left shortly before I went on vacation and moved on to greener pastures myself (albeit voluntarily in my case) so I knew about their departure back then. I'm not surprised about them being in cahoots with TerryK. I don't know the guy myself, but my wife's ex-husband got into IQD and was mesmerized by that guy for awhile until he realized the roller coaster that he was being taken on. He stopped listening to him in short order (and not at any urging of mine as I had no idea about his connection to E&G until your reply.) Honestly, I am not terribly interested in too actively participating in all the banter back and forth. I'm not selling anytime soon, and all our talking + $5 will buy a cup of Starbucks when all is said and done. The last 14 months and every day that goes by from here forward further invalidates all of the cheerleading (for my money). I'm glad for everyone who has hope, but I have a personal distaste for letting one's hope prevent rational thought or objectivity. Clearly, there will still be plenty of 'the same song and dance' as you say. And I don't want to sift through it all for some hidden gems that guys like Scooter can provide. But for the time that I do spend on the board, I'll be interested especially in seeing what these guys (and gals?) have to say. I agree; CBI/MOF has been artificially controlling the exchange rate to stabilize at 1170 for several years now. My presumption is that this is to show capable management of the economy and currency over a long term and varying conditions. I suspect that this is a prerequisite from the IMF, World Bank (Rothschilds et. al.?) as redenomination never happens until after high inflation and then a period of stability. All in all, a far better synopsis than one could ever expect (without having to purchase it!) So thanks for the detailed reply. I almost feel like I never left! Much Obliged, FP

Well, I never went to Hawaii. If I actually said that, it was a cover story. But I pretty much did exactly what I said in the original post. I was on vacation, though, as you implied (why else would anyone go to Hawaii?). When I returned, we closed down the site (or should I say sight?) that I was at which took a lot of time and planning to shut down the fire department there. After that, I was at a busy site with anywhere from 5-20 emergencies a week, and I had to fit in there for the rest of my contract. Stayed busy and active... not much down time. By the time that was done, I was just kinda 'over' all of the drama. How've you been?

I guess some things never change. Comments like this are exactly how I remember this web site. I can't speak for the guy you responded to, but I've got my IQD in Warka bank @11% per year. I've got about $2M more than I paid for just by being patient and collecting the interest. Not only that, but I think that--even with a redenomination--the IQD will be very profitable. Maybe as much as 300%-400%. For a short term investment, that is huge. That's why I'm holding on to mine. Why do you want people who disagree with you to leave this sight [sic]? It's not as much fun to cheer for your team when there are differing viewpoints present? FP

Wow... I didn't actually think anyone would remember me! Very flattering, lgraham! I'll respond to your post when I have some more time to devote the attention it deserves. @TFK: Thanks for the heads up. What a friend! I'm in training for my employment for my new job in Afghanisland (happiest place on Earth, except most other places), but I'll have spare moments here and there. Talk to y'all soon!

I got $65.39.

I kinda thought it might be the same ol' song and dance, but just new dance partners on the floor. Don't drink the Kool-Aid they're serving in the punch bowl. FP

I got in at 1263 and watched it trickle down to 1170 where it has been for years. So, yeah. Don't buy into the hype.

Hey all, I used to frequent this site about 14 months ago. Got tired of the roller coaster rate quotes, date predictions, cheerleading, and general drama, so I lost interest. But I had some spare time on the compy and thought I would just check in with all of my old buddies. Anyone on this site who has been here for the last 14 months or longer? I haven't been watching closely, but the 'blessed event' (RV) didn't happen while I wasn't paying attention for the last year, has it? Have people still been chanting "GO RV!!!!" and giving date predictions/rate quotes, and "It's close!" speeches? A year's worth of posts are a lot to go through, so any summarizing thoughts from experienced members on this are much appreciated. FP P.S. I've actually had IQD since 2007, not just last year. Go (long on the) IQD!!!!
