They will inform you...The only people who can educate you on that is the CBI or...banks. This is how it is. This is how it works. Now he asked me if in mosque they informed about it? Yes, exactly they informed us about this. They never say when and what, why and when. They didn't say bigger or smaller. They said they're gonna change. [Post 2 of 2] Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: They are talking about that 1134 all morning and all afternoon. They keep repeating it over and over again. They want the citizens to understand their exchange rate is moving and changing. Mnt Goat... I would be VERY SURPRISED if we got to June 1st and still did not see the reinstatement of the IQD on FOREX and have it trading. Personally I can even see April as a target… if we had not been to the bank...by then...I would be surprised. This event is moving that fast. MarkZ There is a lot of concern that this will not happen during Ramadan...Could they be waiting until after Ramadan? It’s possible. But I am hearing it will be sooner than that and during Ramadan ...I do not think we will be waiting another 30 days... We will know very soon. That's all for today - Sorry I missed Yesterday..! RON

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 Frank26 Every day they're telling them more and more...they made another exchange rate change. And as we predicted it, it would happen before it takes them to an international float...[NOTE: The official CBI rate is still listed as 1310.] Militia Man [Boots on the ground report] Guest: PompeyPeter has a business relationship and friendship with people from some of the ministries over in Iraq and his brother, they own a business there that deals in banks...PompeyPeter got in contact with him again yesterday morning...they have a good conversation for about 10-15 minutes which is a pretty long call...at the end he says, 'Peter, get with me. Bring me something before the 31st of March.' We know what that means because he's expecting something just like we are. The man dealt with currency and he's a professional. He's a smart man/educated ...He's kind of brilliant in the way he acts and reacts to Peter because that's their culture...

RON Nader From The Mid East There will not be an RV without new currencies. If you see new currencies comes out (I'm not saying it's gonna come out soon. I'm not saying when.) I'm saying if you see the new currency come out, exactly twelve days after that...there will be a new rate. They will not release the small category notes with no strong exchange rate. Sandy Ingram The exchange rate...has changed online, which is a big deal. [It's now showing 1310 to 1 USD] This means what the parliament voted on is now factual globally.
