dinardummy Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I propose this: A rich man in Iraq has approx. $1,000,000,000,000 IQD, worth 3 Billion USD, before we went to war with his country. After the USA overthrew his country's government, the VALUE of his wealth went to approx $$1,000,000,000,000 now NID worth 1 million USD. The math is a little off, but the logic is sound.My understanding is that Iraq does not care about us small time investors. Their only concern is RESTORING the WORTH of their currency. If they LOP, the only benefit to them is they now will get to carry around less cash. The value of the Dinar will be forever LOST!!! If they RV, even at a low rate, they can restore the wealth to the Iraqi people that lost it. Please explain to me how I am wrong guys. Have at it!

sana Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Unfortunately, there have been instances of RD in other countries where the borders were closed and citizens were given a fixed time to exchange old bills for new... We would be sol if this happened.I have a question: Let's assume the average Iraqi has millions of dinars since a loaf of bread costs 3000 iqd. If it RV's tomorrow, who will work the next day? The country needs people to rebuild but everyone will be rich.. How will that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinardummy Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 great idea if it were true..the average Iraqi is very poor...has lost his home...and has never had a bank account to store it...they mostly trade in goods and are barely surviving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcrzyc Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I have a question. Since I am new to this investment and the whole RV or lop thing, what happens to our Dinar if it does lop and they take the 3 zeros off. Does that mean that the Dinar is worth roughly $.90 US?

dinardummy Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 yes..if you exchange immediately, you get your $ back minus the trade difference. Dinar Trade Sells at 1060 and buys at 900. That means on a $1060 USD you would lose $160USD. Not a bad risk if you ask me. If you wait after the LOP(won't happen), the goal will be to move the rate up to $3.42 so Iraq can join the Arabic Union and go to a common currency(the entire goal of RV or LOP). In that scenario you would profit aprox. $2042 USD on a $1000 dollar investment. Find those odds on the stock market. The worst thing that could happen is nothing. I hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sana Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 djcrzyc - you don't want to know the answer to that.. dinardummy- and I am just calling you that because it is your name since a can of soda and a loaf of bread is about 6000 dinars, let's say that the poorest Iraqi makes at least 5000 dinar per day (basic survival)5000 dinar per day x20 days per month = 100,000 dinars per month100,000 dinars per month x12 months = 1,200,000 dinars per year minimumIf it RV's 1:1 with the USD tomorrow, every poor person in Iraq will instantly be wealthy. They might not keep it in the bank but they WILL be wealthy. Now, again, the problem with that is Iraq need someone to rebuild the country. The poor are the ones doing it now. When everyone becomes rich, who will do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are they going to stop eating and drinking for a year so they can save up 1,200,000 dinars minimum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfg Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 It's just not plausible for the advancement of the nation of Iraq or the Iraqis to have a LOP. A RV is needed to bring back economic stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeintt Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I believe that both will happen....a lop and a RV. This way everyone will be able to benefit from the RV yet no one will continue to be working for US$1,200,000 per year just to sweep the streets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

range Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 i would say the avg iraqi probably doesnt even have 50k dinar saved - they dont make anything to begin with and the little they do have feeds them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHEK Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 when it RV's / RI's.. and let's say it RV's high at $3.22.. with that, and the dropping of zeors later in the year. everything they have saves will be worth 3,000 times what they have.and future earnings will be approx 3 times what they make now. do the math.. it's late.so it will really help those that have savings and just holding dinar.. with this much time, they know.. they are stashing their dinar under their pillows..and if they become rich, well that will help them buy houses, and electricity, and live a great life, but they'll still need income.and the few that have millions.. heck, they can be the store owners and make even more money.just what key lime said.if you make $60,000 a year, that deosn't mean you have $60,000 to invest.. you have to live off of this. so maybe each iraqi has some extra dinar.. that will still help them get the basics.. and have a better life.

Lyn LaVigne Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Nations with great oil wealth do not necessarily need to employ their own people. For instance Saudi Arabia--many foreigners are hired to work within the country in fields from medical workers/hospital staffing to oil-field workers and internal physical development. When you gain wealth, you hire workers to do it for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smkymtndinar Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Let's not make the assumption that the price of bread in Iraq will stay the same after rv...it will probably go up. Also remember we are exchanging our dinar for USD (we get rich because we live in the U.S.), they will not be exchanging for USD because USD are useless to the average Iraqi. The ones who will profit most in Iraq will be businessmen and oil tycoons because they are dealing with people, companies and others (with USD) outside side of Iraq.
