So the currency auctions started again today and the ISX reopened today as well.  It was really only speculation on my part that  having the financial markets closed would make it easier for the RV to happen, but I really just don't know.  For sure a lot of good things are getting done quickly - maybe even the HCL.  Although I will admit that I disagree with the majority of people about it.  I just don't think getting the HCL done is a prequesite to the RV, and I never have.  The HCL is about negotiating oil revenue percentages, and since oil is bought and sold in dollars, I don't think the value of the IQD is relavent.  And even if it were, it seems to me that both sides will always want as big of percentage as they can get, regardless of anything else, so I don't see how having a higher value of the IQD would affect either side. 

 

Anyway.... I really don't know what to think about why it hasn't happened yet.  But in my opinion, they need it ASAP.  Also they really are working hard at getting things done, so I have to think we're still very close.  Maybe this month, or maybe July......  GOOOOOO RV!!

I liked your theory, your guess is better than any of the gurus in dinarland. 🤞🏻 That all this concludes quickly  

[wealthhound]

I looked at the ISX earlier today and it said it was closed, perhaps I looked at it incorrectly.

I like the way this is playing out. I felt in January that this would be done by June. I still am very positive about 2020. Let's see how July plays out, it could and Independence Day for everyone.

They were open yesterday which was the first day in weeks.  Their normal trading days have been Sun, Tues and Thurs.  However, last month they announced they would start trading 5 days a week (Monday through Thursday) starting June 1st (but then they pospoted that to the 7th, and then the 14th).  I guess since they didn't open today, it means they're not going to 5-day-a-week trading yet.  This makes me wonder if the RV is a prerequesite to them opening the ISX 5 days a week.  It would make sense after all.  I mean why would they want to suddently more than double their trading days every week unless they expected there was a need for it?  And certainly RVing their currency would increase the world's willingness to invest in Iraq and thereby increase usage of the ISX.   Hmmmmm......  HOPIUM ALERT!!!  Maybe I was right after all, in that they' did try to RV several times already, but for whatever reason, just couldn't complete the process like they had planned.  Maybe if we see another article about when they plan to inniate 5-day-a-week trading with the ISX, it might be a clue to the timing.  This could also mean that perhaps RVing when the financial markets are closed still, is still a valid theory.  I'm gonna keep an eye on the currency auctions and the ISX.  But...  it's still just speculation at this point, only time will tell if it's true or not.  And as usually, we watch and wait.

[KristiD]

As a follow up, the ISX was open on Tuesday, but not Monday, so it does look like they've stayed with their old 3-day-a-week schedule instead of moving up to 5 days a week like they had planned to do last month.  just fyi

And mine too, but I believe in this investment and I really feel it's gotta be close.  I have no idea of the date anymore, but I think his month still looks very good, and if not, then there's July.  At least we're through Ramadan anyway.  I always figured they would try to do it when least expected, so that could be anytime now.
