THE RV FRUSTRATION........

[Legolas]

After reading some of the awesome posts lately relating to feelings, concerns, attitudes and frustrations, I thought a post should be made which more people might have an opportunity to read and which might shed some light on the overall picture. Maybe it will help.....maybe it won't. The rumor section seems to be the best place for it, as it is ALWAYS about the rumors.

Most of us should have been intelligent enough from day one to understand that this is a longshot investment, and not without risk. .........approximately 40% for most. The "hook" is that the potential "reward" is unlike that in virtually any investment in the history of finance. Where 15% would be considered a great return in nearly any investment, this one has the potential to return percentage points in the thousands. The "mistake" which most have made is in having listened to the so-called gurus and never-ending rumors. Instead of making a one-time purchase of Dinars (one which they could easily afford) and putting them away, out of sight and out of mind, many have made purchases over and over again each time the gurus and rumors make "one more time" absolutely irresistable. Obviously, over a period of 7 years now, the dinar pumpers have become expert at knowing how to push these buttons. We have no way of knowing who these people are, but after literally thousands of invalidated rumors, countless RV dates come and gone, etc., etc., virtually everyone should know better than to believe them. Yet here we are, addicted to the excitement and unable to put the Dinar out of our minds. Inevitably, when things don't work out the way we are hoping, or the way others have promised, frustration and anger ensues.

Had we made this initial purchase and walked away, ignoring the websites, the rumors and the endless stream of insane predictions as to rates and dates, there would have been very little, if ANY disappointment or frustration. The process would have gone on, beginning and hopefully ENDING in its own due time. There would have been no specific timelines or deadlines, because simple common sense should have told us that absolutely nobody whom any "guru" would ever have access to would risk their job, their freedom, and in fact, in many cases, their very LIVES to disclose what would have to be considered "top secret" intelligence information of the very highest level. It quite simply is not going to happen........ever. Experience has proven this to us over and over and OVER again, and yet we still come back every day for more. Why? In many cases it's simple addiction. In others it's an extreme interest in the process and the politics. Unfortunately, in many other cases, it's absolute desperation. Many people have invested far more than they can afford to lose, having been repeatedly convinced that this RV is imminent - going to happen any minute; any hour; any day; and by now, any YEAR. Many have lost homes, jobs, property, and even their lives waiting for this RV. Friends and family have been convinced that this is a can't lose, once-in-a lifetime opportunity after being presented with the now thousands of pages of irrefutable "evidence" (rumors) showing that we'll be millionaires "tomorrow." And then tomorrow never seems to come and everyone is disappointed.......again and again and again. BUT......the simple truth is that there were never any REAL guarantees. This might happen this week; this month; this year; next year, or possibly not at all. The few people who know for sure are VERY unlikely to tell us. Hopefully we've done our homework, and our belief that "something" has to happen with the Iraqi Dinar is justified and logical. I've studied this investment for several years now and I believe that it has solid potential. HOWEVER, I also know without a doubt that the rumors are ALWAYS wrong......every single one of the thousands we have seen over the past 7 years. As someone with a lot of experience in the intel game I can tell you that intelligence info is never 100% accurate, but it is also never 100% wrong as has been the case here. Some of the people bringing this "intel" undoubtedly have honorable intentions, having received this information from sources they truly believe to be reliable. Others do it for the attention, and still others undoubtedly have ulterior motives which we may never understand, not the least of which may be MONEY.

People are taking advantage of our addictions, our interests, our needs and above all, our desperation. The reason these rumors keep coming unabated is because thousands of people are "listening" to them, and more importantly, "acting" on them. This RV will either happen or it won't, and will do so whether we're sitting here reading this stuff or NOT. It's not going to make a bit of difference whether we hear about it the minute it happens, or 5 days after. The best advice anyone can get is to walk away and let it happen when it happens. Don't tell ANYONE about your investment. Don't call the banks. Most people are going to think you're crazy, and others will use the info to your detriment if and when the RV happens. Trust me when I tell you that it's best that very few people, if any, know about this. An entire book could be written supporting this fact, but common sense should prevail here. Try to relax, sit back, and watch it unfold from a distance. Never believe the rumors, and more importantly, never act on them. Only the dealers (and possibly a few others) get rich when you do. Use your own best judgement and buy only what you can afford to live without. I could go on for hours, but I think this pretty well covers it. If you feel you have to watch this train wreck, try to be nice to everyone in the process and enjoy the ride. Good luck everybody!

Thanks legolas and I might add if its just absolutely too much for anyone then you can always sell them back and try something different, take a slight loss write it off your taxes and be at peace.

Very well said. It can truly be addicting, but realizing that it is, is the first step to making sure that you keep a level head and step away from your computer. Blessings

3"]Thank you for the post, but what you stated has been repeated so many times over the past 7 years and yet no one pays attention.. [/b]

Legolas, great post once again and very true.Thanks.

[GO RV!!]

I'll Keep it real.. I'm relatively new to the game.

With that said, there are some things I could put aside that are purely "pleasure" as far as property is concerned. I'm willing to part with some of those things to possibly invest in more Dinar next week - if nothing has changed

That being said, I'm willing to sell some things I don't appreciate as much, while also understanding if I break even - lose money - make money - whatever be the case, I will come away more knowledgeable about Currencies and investing. Do I feel that we are all being tricked? No. Do I have a date in mind - no.

I'm willing to take one on the chin if I'm wrong. Like I've told friends, I don't make a dime - just don't pretend like I didn't encourage you to do your OWN homework and come to your OWN conclusion.

THANKS to all that contribute... and +1 to OP as I think we need these posts to "check" our emotional side of investing and I hope I'm not PERSUADING anyone to reach beyond their means for investing... know your limits and know HOW to get out when needed -in any investing in life...

I, for one, really appreciate the reminders. Thank you for posting Legolas!

I am SOOO glad you made this post. I say the same thing to people quite a bit, ( few friends who have invested along with me), but when you try and come down and make a statement that is well grounded, there's a lot of people who will take negatively to it and call people out as naysayers.

What you have stated is what I have done since day 1 of this investment and it allows me a lot less stress in my life. When it happens, it happens, I just keep it simple. Thanks for the post.

Investments are about balls and faith. And very much believing. If you have two out of three it's not good enough. Get all three and your in the winner circle. You see it really won't matter what ever one else thinks, only you. If you think this won't happen it probably won't to you. My reality is spoken for, it's probably different than yours. I'm a winner, and I no this is a done deal. Your just talking about believe man. You did make a point on reading the B.S., KEEP AWAY FROM THE POSTS, MOST OF IT IS JUNK.
