Well 2011 is here and we still haven't seen an RV/RI. Just like 2010 came and went, so did '09; '08; '07; with no Change in their rate. I still believe in our investment (and will not sell my Dinar). I do feel that someday Iraq will have all the cards needed to pull this thing off, but for now I think it'll take some time. Last year when I found there were forums where "gurus" were giving their perspectives and secret intel, I got hooked. But have seen so many dates, timeframes, and guesses turn up wrong, that now I found it hard to remain interested or get excited about the reports that come in. One of the issues most are saying Iraq needs for their future is buying power. Well as long as there is speculation in the dinar, they will alway have buying power from all the USD that flows in from the sell of Dinar. This happens when people buy more Dinar based off some secret they read about, where some bank manager claimed it was happening or some savy guru claimed this is the time. Selflessly, we go tell family and friends, so they to will be blessed too, and they rush out to buy. Why would Iraq RV/RI if this cycle was still running at full speed? I feel the more Dinar out of country, the smaller the RV will be, because if I know a million people hold Dinar, then I'm only going to RV at .10 cents until all large notes are back home and then RV again so that the pay out is less. That's just my 2 cents and it what makes since to me. I do hope I'm wrong, but feel I'm not. I do want to see what Frank26 has to post after the 3rd and would be interested to return one time after the 9th but think we'll be in the same holding pattern as today. With this being said, I wish you all the best that 2011 has to offer and hope it's a surprise to all of us very soon. May you all be blessed in the new year and I hope we all have reason to celebrate very soon. Best wishes, Tx22

Our Gurus are starting to sound like Billy Maze from those info commercials when he would say, "but wait, there more!!!" there's always more to why the RV hasn't happen in the time frame claimed. I still love it, but wait there's more. Always a reason to buy more dinar, cause the RV is just another week away.... Go RV!!! no matter what year it happens in. Happy New Year!!!

I'm re-posting this from don't promote other sites Tibits & hope this does violate any DinarVets rules or any respect to the original poster (as these are the 2 sites I check for "intel") I just agree with the message.. Although I enjoy, and thank our "gurus," we all need to remember, NO ONE will know when, regardless who they know or are related to .. Basically, it's a "best guess" based on info & theories at hand..... Best wishes to all & happy new year, * iqdTRUTH Email to DD: Words of Advice… Reality Check DECEMBER 27, 2010 11:04 AM · POSTED IN CHATS / POSTS, MEMBER INFO · COMMENTS OFF Alright people. Little reality check. I don’t talk much, or spread rumors and there is a reason for it. I work in the U.S. banking sector and refuse to drag my name through the mud with hopes and dreams of fictitious rumors. Every week we hear something new from the “gurus” or the peeps that feel they have more intel than others. example: a guy hears from his mom’s friend that she heard from her cousin who works for someplace, that heard from her financial guy that his grandmother told him today at 12:30 its a go! COME ON!!!!!! We need to be real here. RV’s are not announced ahead of time, they never have been. Kuwait for example just happened, turkey and Mexico re-denominated outta the blue! Iraq will be the same. Now there is a ton of news coming from Iraq and it’s all great. We have a government that seems to be playing nicely, and great strides are being made for this country, so kudos to them! It is great for the people of Iraq! Let’s be humans and be happy for them. As far as the RV, EOY seems to be very possible with all the contracts going into effect, the Paris Club and the salaries, but it doesn’t mean that it will happen for sure. It’s up to Iraq and how they feel fit to do it. If they do it in the middle of the year, it won’t matter on their books, that’s what accountants are for! Let’s be patient, we have been for a long time! It will happen, but no one can say for sure when. So please, for your sanity, do not buy into the hype we hear every other day, that it will happen Wednesday or hey Monday for sure, we have heard this every week for years and it is always wrong, and then the excuses roll in that , “well Iraq was supposed to do this and they didn’t or no these people are holding it up because of this”, Reality check friends, no one knows when this is going to happen. It just will and we will change our pants many times when it does! Be open minded sure, but don’t stress out or make big plans when in fact, we just don’t know what where or when it will take place. Live your life knowing that someday soon, all your worries and stress will be behind you. Read the posts and rumors but pay attention to the news the most! Keep your heads up!!!! We will see it happen soon enough! GO IRAQ! GO DINAR! AND RV SOON! AND GO don't promote other sites!!!!

«Top News World economy can withstand $100 oil price: Kuwait Sat Dec 25, 2010 9:17am EST By Shaimaa Fayed and Amena Bakr CAIRO (Reuters) - The global economy can withstand an oil price of $100 a barrel, Kuwait's oil minister said on Saturday, as other exporters indicated OPEC may decide against increasing output through 2011 as the market was well supplied. Analysts have said oil producing countries are likely to raise output after crude rallied more than 30 percent from a low in May because they fear prices could damage economic growth in fuel importing countries. European benchmark ICE Brent crude for February closed at $93.46 on Friday after hitting $94.74 a barrel, its highest level since October 2008. Arab oil exporters meeting in Cairo this weekend said they saw no need to supply more crude as stocks were high and prices had been inflated temporarily by cold weather in Europe. Asked by Reuters if the world economy could stand a $100 oil price, Kuwaiti Oil Minister Sheikh Ahmad al-Abdullah al-Sabah said: "Yes it can." Iraq's new oil minister and the head of Libya's National Oil Corporation both told Reuters that $100 was a fair price, while Qatar's Minister Abdullah al-Attiyah said he did not expect OPEC to increase production in 2011. "I do not expect an OPEC meeting before June because oil prices are stable," he said. Some delegates even called for exporters to comply better with agreed production limits. OPEC members' compliance with promised cutbacks reached 56 percent in November, according to Reuters estimates. When asked if output could be raised, Kuwait's Sheikh Ahmad said: "No. More compliance, more compliance." MARKET "WELL SUPPLIED" The Cairo meeting of the Organization of Arab Exporting Countries (OAPEC) brought together Arab members of OPEC including top exporter Saudi Arabia, which has traditionally been viewed as a price moderate, as well as non-OPEC countries Tunisia, Egypt, Syria and Bahrain. OPEC cut output drastically after the global financial crisis struck in 2008 to prop up collapsing oil prices. As demand has risen steeply in 2010 and is expected to rise further in 2011, the market is watching closely whether OPEC can release at least some of its spare capacity to prevent prices from soaring to around $150 per barrel as they did before the crisis struck in summer 2008. OPEC's most influential oil minister, Saudi Arabia's Ali al-Naimi, said on Friday he was still happy with an oil price of $70-80 a barrel and there was no need for an extra OPEC meeting before the next scheduled one in June. Others in the group have been pressing for a higher price, arguing that quantitative easing and a weakened U.S. dollar that spurred gains across financial markets mean the oil price strength is partly nominal. Egyptian Oil Minister Sameh Fahmy said the current increase in oil prices was the result of higher demand on heating fuel because of the cold weather in Europe. United Arab Emirates Oil Minister Mohammed al-Hamli said crude oil inventories are "quite high. It's the highest over the five years average... The market is well supplied."

Still nice to see it moving in the right direction.. I have noticed a lot of SMALL movement on the XE app that I've never seen before, which is also very fun to watch. Merry Christmas all!!!!!

Iraq lifts ban on Sunni politicians 12/18/2010 03:40:18 PM Iraq's parliament has lifted a ban on three Sunni Muslim politicians who had been kept from running in national elections because of accusations they had ties to Saddam Hussein's ousted government. Parliament voted 109-61 on Saturday to allow Saleh al-Mutlaq, a former legislator of the cross-sectarian Iraqiya coalition, and two others to return to political jobs. Haidar al-Mullah, an Iraqiya spokesman, said the decision marked a major step toward assuring Sunnis that they will not be sidelined in the new Shia-dominated government which Nouri al-Maliki plans to announce on Monday. "What has happened today is the starting point for more national reconciliation," al-Mullah said. Al Jazeera's Rawya Rageh, reporting from Baghdad, described the move as an "appeasement" to Sunni politicians and said it should enable al-Maliki to speed up the process of forming the government. "We understand that his [al-Maliki's] longstanding rival, the former prime minister Iyad Allawi, had said on Friday he's agreed to be part of the government, on condition that actually they become real partners," she said. "It seems that all the main hurdles for now have been overcome but you never know, in Iraqi politics everything can change in the 11th hour." Al-Mutlaq, who is a vocal al-Maliki critic, was expected to take up a post in the new government instead of rejoining parliament. Al-Mutlaq was the most prominent of hundreds of candidates who were barred from the elections after a Shia-led panel said they had been members of Saddam's outlawed Baath Party. The ban was seen by critics as a Shia attempt to monopolise Iraq's government.

Europe pins hopes on ECB to ease debt crisis Wed Dec 1, 2010 7:05pm EST 1 of 3 By Luke Baker and John O'Donnell BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Central Bank is under pressure to unveil new steps to stabilize the euro zone when it meets on Thursday as the currency bloc battles a crippling debt crisis that has stoked contagion fears in the United States and Asia. Germany struggled to sell its government debt on Wednesday and Portugal's borrowing costs soared in further signs that an 85 billion-euro ($110.7-billion) EU/IMF rescue of Ireland last weekend and public assurances from leaders that the euro will be defended at any cost have failed to impress investors. European Union leaders appeared to pass the baton to the ECB, which holds its monthly meeting on Thursday. Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn said recent EU actions provided a sound basis for further stabilization measures by the central bank, and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said he was confident the ECB would take whatever action was needed. "I'm sure the ECB is analyzing the current situation and that it will take the decisions necessary to guarantee the financial stability of the euro zone," he said. In Washington, the White House said President Barack Obama was receiving regular updates during his daily economic briefings, while a senior Treasury official was heading to Berlin for talks on the economic situation after meetings on Wednesday in Madrid. "It's important to the global economy and to our economic recovery," said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs. A senior G20 source in Asia also told Reuters that deputy finance ministers discussed the situation on Monday. A U.S. official also told Reuters that Washington would support boosting an EU rescue facility via IMF funds, news that bolstered the euro currency. "It is up to the Europeans," the U.S. official said. "We will certainly support using the IMF in these circumstances." A Treasury Department spokesman later said an "extra commitment is not something we're discussing right now. HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL Markets were focusing on ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet's news conference due at 1330 GMT on Thursday where the central bank could announce an expansion of its government bond purchase program, launched in May after Greece was bailed out. But it has been highly controversial within the bank and used erratically. Influential Bundesbank head Axel Weber has called for the program to be scrapped, and fellow ECB members have criticized the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to buy $600 billion of U.S. debt in a policy known as quantitative easing. Any sense from fiercely independent central bankers that they were being bullied by EU politicians into making bond purchases could further deepen opposition to such a step. With the euro under threat, however, they may decide they have no other choice. In recent days, economists have urged the ECB to throw out its rule book and do all it can to save the euro, particularly since governments seem to be running out of ideas for restoring confidence in their monetary union. "There is a feeling that things have got to a point where the ECB has to do more," said Gilles Moec, an economist at Deutsche Bank. The premium investors demand to hold Portuguese, Spanish and Italian bonds instead of German benchmarks fell and European bank stocks rebounded, with Spain's Banco Santander and BBVA up more than 7 percent after the Spanish government announced new steps to reduce the national debt. Debt auctions in Portugal and Germany, however, showed investors remain nervous. Lisbon's borrowing costs surged in a 12-month bill auction and a German five-year note sale drew the weakest demand in half a year. Manufacturing data underscored the economic divergences plaguing Europe. Citigroup's chief economist said this week euro zone turmoil might be the "opening act" of a global sovereign debt crisis that could infect the United States and Japan. EU plans to make private bond holders bear some of the pain from any sovereign debt restructuring after mid-2013 have led investors to reassess the risk of putting their money in the government bonds of high-debt countries. But German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Wednesday that all the anxiety in financial markets was overblown. LIMITED OPTIONS Strong action by the ECB is one of a small number of unattractive options for stopping the rot, given divisions among European governments over how to respond. Germany has resisted pressure from France and others to turn the euro zone into a "fiscal union," a step that could help the bloc address its economic imbalances but require members to sacrifice sovereignty for the good of the group. Chancellor Angela Merkel is also sceptical about putting up more funds for bailouts, concerned that German taxpayers could end up underwriting the rescues of countries her government believes have become targets because of economic mismanagement. Pressure from Germany's partners is mounting. Portuguese Treasury Secretary Carlos Pina told Reuters the EU needed to "deepen its budget and create a European Treasury" to defend the euro, a move that would be anathema to Berlin.

Am I miss reading this, doesn't it say NEXT December?

Iraqi PM asked to form government 11/26/2010 01:31:28 AM Nouri al-Maliki, the incumbent Iraqi prime minister, has been asked by Jalal Talabani, Iraq's president, to from a new government following the conclusion of a power-sharing deal between the country's divided factions sealed two weeks ago. "I charge you ... Nouri al-Maliki to form the new government, which we hope will be a real national partnership government which will not exclude any faction," Talabani said at a ceremony at Al-Salam presidential palace in Baghdad on Thursday. "You have 30 days to form the cabinet." Following elections on March 7, Iraq set a new world record for the longest period between an election and a government being formed. Thursday's formal nomination, delayed to give al-Maliki as much time as possible to negotiate with his political rivals, signals an end to the protracted political battle between Iraq's factions. Al-Maliki called on the Iraqi people to support the security forces as they fight the insurgent threat, and called for political blocs to present candidates for the cabinet who had "experience, loyalty and integrity". "The coming government will be committed to reconstruction and providing services," al-Maliki said after his nomination, according to media adviser, Yassin Majid. "It will be a government of partnership, no one will be neglected." Power-sharing Under Iraq's constitution, Talabani was allowed 15 days to appoint a prime minister following his re-election by members of parliament on November 11. He had earlier been expected to nominate al-Maliki as prime minister last Sunday, immediately after the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, but delayed the decision to give the incumbent more time to negotiate ministerial posts. The re-selection of Talabani, a Kurd, and al-Maliki, a Shia, to their posts and the naming of Osama al-Nujaifi, who belongs to the Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc, as speaker of parliament, came after a power-sharing pact was agreed on November 10. The accord also established a new statutory body to oversee security as a sop to Iyad Allawi, Iraq's former prime minister, who had held out for months to regain the leadership after his Iraqiya bloc narrowly led the seats tally in the March 7 poll. The support of Iraqiya, which garnered most of its seats in Sunni areas, is widely seen as vital to preventing a resurgence of inter-confessional violence. The Sunnis, who dominated Saddam Hussein's regime, formed the bedrock of the anti-US insurgency after the 2003 invasion. Al Jazeera's Jane Arraf, reporting from Baghdad, said the swearing-in ceremony will "set the clock ticking for al-Maliki" to build a "balanced government". "He has an extremely difficult task ahead of him, these next 30 days are going to be a very tough sell for all of these parties that all want something very important in this government," she said. "It took a record eight months to actually come up with this coalition, but now what al-Maliki has to do is put all those people in the competing positions that backed him into slots in the government and he has a month to do that from today." Challenges Despite being lauded by international leaders including Barack Obama, the US president, the power-sharing pact has looked fragile ever since. A day after it was agreed, about 60 Iraqiya MPs walked out of a session of parliament, protesting that it was not being honoured. The bloc's MPs had wanted three of its senior members, barred before the election for their alleged ties to Saddam's banned Baath party, to be reinstated immediately. Two days later, however, Iraq's legislators appeared to have salvaged the deal after leaders from the country's three main parties met and agreed to reconcile and address the MPs' grievances.

No matter what happens or when, I just wanted to wish everyone a GREAT & HAPPY Thanksgiving!!! We have had a great time being apart of this investment & are thankful for all of the intel, rumors, & for Everyone who's able and willing to share it. I pray that this holiday season brings you and your family peace, love, & joy. And also brings us an RV!!! Go RV!!!!!! Happy Thankgiving y'all!!!!!!!

11/21/2010 06:23:24 PM Iraq's legislators have headed back to parliament for what was expected to be a lacklustre session that will not address the key decisions on who will run the new government. Instead, Iraq's 325 members of parliament were expected only to discuss internal parliamentary bylaws and forming legislative committees during the session that began in the early afternoon on Sunday. It is only the fourth meeting of parliament since the members of parliament were elected in March. Ali al-Dabbagh, Iraq's government spokesman, said it will likely be several more days before Jalal Talabani, the re-elected president, formally asks Nouri al-Maliki, Iraq's prime minister, to begin forming the new government and picking cabinet ministers. A power-sharing agreement designed by Iraq's Kurdish leaders has assured that al-Maliki, a Shia, will remain prime minister even though his State of Law political bloc did not win the most votes in the March 7 parliamentary vote. A Sunni-backed but secular alliance known as Iraqiya won the most seats in the election, and its leader, Iyad Allawi, the former prime minister, has worked against al-Maliki to prevent him from forming a government. Allawi was never able to gain enough support to put himself in the prime minister's office, however, and Iraqiya signed off on the power-sharing agreement. Allawi's role The agreement returns both al-Maliki and Talabani to power and gives Iraqiya the parliament speaker's post, which went to Osama al-Nujaifi, a Sunni legislator. Allawi was meant to head a council that is intended to serve as a counterweight to al-Maliki, but he has said that he will not take a post in the new government, calling into question role of the council. Al-Dabbagh said Iraqiya has a "very important" role in the new government but did not know what Allawi intended to do. "There are no positive signals from him," al-Dabbagh said. After Talabani officially asks al-Maliki to form the government, the prime minister has 30 days to assemble his cabinet - a painstaking process in Iraq's complicated political map.

Is there a play back number/access code? I missed the call.... Thanks!!!!
