jackster Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I have read a LOT of posts since I joined. And do you want to know one of the few I specifically remember? Someone, (I don't remember the name) Asked if everyone thought it would be possible to buy a home using their Dinar as a down payment. I remember them saying "It should be possible since once the RV hits I won't even have a mortgage". I remember feeling so sad for that person because IF someone took the Dinar as a down payment (and I don't think that would happen) They would surely lose their house, because even if it did RV, it probably wouldn't be in time. Let's pretend for a moment that this site did not exist. Only positive talk allowed on ALL sites. Why would people NOT get in too deep? Yes, the news articles say what they say, but having people smarter than I am break it down for me in a way that I might better understand (especially with bad translations and all) is a HUGE advantage IMO. PART of MY due diligence is to read both sides of the equation. I appreciate Keep (and all other "so called LOPsters") for showing me another possibility and explaining it in a way that I can comprehend. People who bash them for doing so are doing all of us a dis-service. IMO Since I've been in this forum, I have met one person that was kicked out of their rental. And another lost his house to foreclosure. Can't say that the Dinar caused it, but these people hoped it would save them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackster Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 As Shabibi himself said, when it comes to a revaluation, it depends upon stability & inflation and if they go in that direction they would never be able to announce that prior to anyone. It's imperative to the process they remain as surreptitious as possible. If you are looking for an article that details the exact mechanisms as to how they will revalue, you will be waiting a long time. If you were the CBI would your goal be to tip your hand to the world or would you do just what was necessary and educate the public that there were some economic reforms on the way that would improve competitiveness, reduce poverty, encourage foreign investement and provide the environment for healthy businesses and job creation all while also telling the rest of the world, hey guys nothing to see here, just a little redenomination? Of course, if you're smart and being instructed by the IMF, you would go with the latter. As you've pointed out, I certainly don't have the answers, nor do I pretend to. I'm just stating my opinion, which may or may not be correct. I may have miss the quote, but where does Shabibi say "when it comes to a revaluation,..."? And I'm especially interested in the word "revaluation". BTW, revaluation does not mean increase in value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day you can be on top of the world the next.................... well what you said.

jackster Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 First of all the definition of Hyperinflation in and of itself is not so simple. You have Monetarism, Neo-liberalism, Classical Economics. I'm not referring to escalating the supply of money through paper notes adding a large number of zeros to the plates and then printing. Hyperinflation is a rare phenomenon and there have only been 28 episodes of hyperinflation of national economies. The tipping point for hyperinflation occurs when the government’s deficit exceed 40% of its expenditures. hyperinflation Definition: Ruinously high increase (50 percent or more per month) in prices due to the near total collapse of a country's monetary system, rendering its currency almost worthless as a medium of exchange. Although hyperinflation is caused mainly by excessive deficit spending (financed by printing more money) by a government, some economists believe that social breakdown leads to hyperinflation (not vice versa), and that its roots lie in political rather than economic causes. The longest lasting (15 months) hyperinflation occurred in Germany between August 1922 and November 1923 (in the aftermath of first World War) during which prices rose at an average rate of 322 percent per month, and sometimes doubled or even trebled in a single day. Examples of hyperinflation: Angola 1991 - 1995 Argentina 1975 - 1991 Austria 1914 - 1923 Belarus 1994 - 2002 Bolivia 1984 - 1986 Bosnia and Herzegovina 1993 Brazil 1967 - 1994 China 1948 - 1949 France - French Revolution Free City of Danzig 1923 Georgia 1994 Germany 1923 Greece 1944 Hungary, 1922–24 Hungary, 1945–46 Krajina 1993 Mexico 1982 Nicaragua 1987 - 1990 Peru 1988 - 1990 Philippines 1944 Poland, 1921–1924 Poland, 1989–1991 Republika Srpska 1993 Roman Egypt 276 AD - 334 AD Romania 1990s - 2005 Soviet Union / Russian Federation 1921 – 1922; 1992 - 1997 Taiwan 1940s Ukraine 1993 - 1995 United States 1779; 1861 - 1865 Yugoslavia 1989 - 1994 Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) 1989 - 1996 Zimbabwe 1980 - 2006 I found 34 examples of hyperinflation.

KamelKeeper Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Well then take a look at history and Iraqs position now.....if you cant put two and two together, then no one can help you..... What you stated is exactly what puts Iraq in the same position as other countries that lopped.....you should really understand what your saying before putting it out there.....your not helping the situation by twisting this information around into something we want.....in my eyes that makes you no better then Okie.... Keep, don't you remember the lesson of: delivery, delivery, delivery! SWFG has been communicative, gracious and shares what he believes to be true with everyone, and you do the same, but in a completely different manner. I hope you don't wonder why you get negged. It is not necessarily your comment, but your tone. Why in the world would you insult someone like that? Who looks stupid? Not SWFG. Geez. You have so much more going for you than that. You need to realize that. Your words could be like butter and you would have people at your feet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepmwlknfny Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Iraq is not on your list. Thank you for proving my point. So then if Iraq never suffered from high inflation then how do you explain the money supply being inflated as it is? Just because its not on the list from wiki doesnt mean they didnt have it.....you know why?? Cause they dont even have Turkey on that list..... Turkeys inflation was worse then Iraq but yet Iraq is saying that they are/have been using Turkey, Brazil, Romania etc as templates for what they are planning to do.....so if Iraq didnt suffer from high inflation, then why would they be saying it? And why do the historical charts for inflation show just the opposite of what your saying?? You cant deny that Iraq went through periods of severe inflation, which lead to a low purchasing power, and inflated money supply.....and historically countries usually take the easy way out and lop to try and start from scratch.... But your right.....Iraq doesnt fall into ANY category of reasons to RD (keep telling yourself that) 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamelKeeper Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 This no different than any other investment. People will invest specific amounts based on many differing reasons & circumstance. Only difference is that most don't have forums such as this. And if you are taking any financial advise from any fictional character such as found here,well....................................to each his own. IMO this site as well as others should be taken as entertainment.There are NO experts here,only some who think of themselves as such.

utvolfan Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Here is proof of Iraq's "hyperinflated currency". Link:http://english.cntv.cn/program/bizasia/20110908/104781.shtml This is from an English speaking Chinese business publication from September, 2011. Their currency is hyperinflated. The zeros on the "nominal value" (face value) of the notes prove that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I may, I believe it was said at April 2011 in New York City - the speech and comments are on video somewhere around here. The trip included Talabani's visit to the UN and he spent two million dollars, and Dr. Shabibi spoke at the WB. I think that is correct.
