Saturday Night Opinions - 10:20 PM CDT - 3/16/2024

[ronscarpa]

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  Do not purchase any currency with Saddam's face on it unless you purchase it as a collector. Purchase currency that is now in circulation in Iraq.

 

Clare  Article: "The Central Bank announces an understanding with the US Treasury to reconsider sanctions and indicates 'illegal trade' "

 

Samson  Article: "Central Bank Governor Announces an Understanding with US Treasury to Review Sanctions on Banks"

 

MarkZ   It's been exceptionally quiet on the RV front overnight...Some have anticipation for this weekend...I hope they are right.

 

 Pimpy   I was hoping you guys caught this part of this paragraph... Article Quote: "The Iraqi government is currently weighing the question of changing the currency." That should have told you everything you should have known right then and there...They're talking about deletion of the zeros. If they're deleting the zeros off of this (1.32) then they're also deleting the zeros off the currency...That's exactly doing critical thinking which is what you're going to need in order to get through this process.

 

Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FRANK: You are within arms length of receiving your new exchange rate with your lower notes because it is in print.  More importantly these words come from the right people that you can trust...Coming to you with the holy solemn oath promised that your prime minister bears witness that you will receive purchasing power and lower notes... FIREFLY: Yes...it is exciting. When we saw Alaq come on television and talk to us we knew we were going to be told more...

 

Babysmom  THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CIRCULATED AND UNCIRCULATED CURRENCY REALLY ONLY APPEALS TO COLLECTORS. COLLECTORS WANT UNCIRCULATED CURRENCY BECAUSE IT'S IN PRISTINE CONDITION AND THEY CAN FRAME IT.  FOR OUR PURPOSES WE ARE GOING TO BE EXCHANGING IT WITH THE BANK SO IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU PURCHASE CIRCULATED OR UNCIRCULATED AND OFTEN CIRCULATED IS LESS EXPENSIVE TO PURCHASE.

 

Walkingstick  There were a few statements released by the GOI officials regarding their currency. The coming value at the onset of the release was revealed. That value was disclosed at/in negotiations...

Yes. I believe it will happen this weekend.  Or maybe  the next. 

But for sure some week.

Are you sure about that? I wish that I could be as much.

BUT, we are AS CLOSE AS WE HAVE EVER BEEN BEFORE!!
