Davos ...Munich and they were doing deals behind closed doors with all these different countries of the world...Middle East, United States, Great Britain and on and on and on...Are they going to be doing this to stay where they were before or are they going back to a previous era? 1169, 1182, 1460, 1310, they never went international with those rate...

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Sandy Ingram The problem for people in the United States is no bank in the US will do any transactions using the Iraqi dinar. Until this changes we have to find other ways to pull our profit out of Iraq. We can do this. I found one way and will discuss it in a an upcoming [post]... Pimpy Community Comment: "Once the 3 zeros are deleted, establishing IQD's REER, then the rate will go up in increments." That's not what you want. You do not want them to delete the zeros before the rate goes up. If they delete the three zeros off your currency then your 25,000 dinar becomes a 25 dinar and then they raise the rate? That's not going to help you. We'll see what happens. Jeff Article: "Al-Sudani reveals the intention to end the political role of the United Nations mission in Iraq" Do you notice how they're talking about removing the remaining US coalition forces and the United Nations together at the same time? That's because Iraq's going international. The UN has chapter VII sanctions on Iraq and the US has OFAC sanctions on Iraq...Both parties need to remove their sanctions off of Iraq... They're discussing doing both steps simultaneously at the same time. Not coincidence. It's because Iraq's preparing to revalue and go international. Militia Man Article: "Government advisor: Iraq is on the cusp of a transitional stage in the development of promising economies globally" Is this the major announcement or a lead into one, that Salih told us about? If it isn't an announcement it surely is a good lead into one...Awesome news indeed.. International ships arriving, partnering with the private sector, integration with the global economy, compliance with with international standards. Surely we can all see the writing on the wall.. Yep.. Powerful.. imo Clare Article: "The Baghdad dollar faces a “major withdrawal” at the beginning of the week, but the exchange rate is stable" Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: TV says the Baghdad dollar will see a huge drop beginning of week, however the exchange rate is stable? We don't know what it means. FRANK: What is a Baghdad dollar? It's the United States Dollar in Baghdad....That's the drop of the US dollar in the parallel market...Which means they'll try to get to 1 to 1...I'm not telling next we're going to have our blessing. I'm telling that next week they're going to do what they're saying.

RON Mnt Goat I will tell everyone who has been in this speculative investment for a long time, this couldn’t be a worst time to sell your dinar. I compare it to a severe storm. You must have the guts to weather the storm... when the storm finally does really end, it’s over and done and then you move on to a better life knowing you weathered the storm and received the blessings that come afterwards. The rewards are great. MarkZ Article: “Minister of Finance of the World Bank –The Government is determined to reform Iraqi Monetary policies” A lot coming out about all the policies of financial reform and restoring the rate of the dinar. Frank26 Question: "Will the exchange rate be the same in all banks?" Yes, that is a law. This is nonsense - 'I belong to the United Nations humanitarian program...I'm going to get $5 because I belong to that.' You're stupid or what? There's no such thing as dual exchange rates for one currency. It's against the law. Jeff Article: "Sudanese Advisor: Iraq is on the cusp of a transitional stage in the development of promising economies globally" Yeah, because they're about to revalue and go international...It is right in front of our faces...It's almost here. They needed the first quarter to prepare for it after achieving stability from the December elections. March is critical to us...

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON MarkZ Iraq has got a lead position in a number of committees etc…in the WTO. And there are meetings scheduled throughout the year. They have to be full members to do these so to me it is very clear we are about to see Iraqs ascension into the WTO in the very near future... Nearly every economist out there is calling for a new rate before that occurs... Jeff Article: "Observer: Ending the mission of the Untied Nations office in Iraq takes Iraq out of Chapter Seven". The UN exiting Iraq and no longer working with them automatically will lift and remove the UN Chapter VII sanctions. But keep in mind the UN will not be exiting Iraq until after Iraq has already revalued the currency. Iraq has to revalue before the UN will exit out.

RON Militia Man Article Quote "...Iraq will return to being a strong economic player." If they're not a strong economic player at 1310 why would they be tomorrow? ...Iraq's not going to go international until they show us a Real Effective Exchange Rate. I'm looking forward to it. I think it's going to be powerful. Pimpy You're going to see, IMO, a slight increase in the exchange rate, probably within the first quarter of this year...I still feel in my heart there might be some kind of change to the exchange rate the first quarter of this year. It's not going to be anything major but it is going to be an increase. Frank26 If you take one of the new [lower] Iraqi dinar notes and you hold it up to the light you'll be able to see the safety features. The American dollar has about a dozen markers, the [new lower] Iraqi dinar has over 20 markers. The state of the art technology of security for toilet paper value? (also consider the cost to print these LD notes) No, that alone is an important aspect for you to understand...
