Popular Post Doc31 Posted January 6, 2011 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 There is no auction today as it is a holiday for Iraq ... "Army Day". Don't go all conspiracy theorist on me now ... it is (and was) on the calendar. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut with tomorrow being a holy day and Saturday a normal closed or NO AUCTION day ... that is 72 hours of closure. There you go ... now the "just the facts man" crowd and the "conspiracy theorist" crowd both have something to chew on! ... lol The news continues to be sparse although our news-hounds are posting what there is like crazy ... again, I urge you to thank these folks ... have you ever tried posting this stuff ... then you know what I mean. Doctor Doctor give me the news! ... tell us Doc31 ... what's going to happen? ... when's it going to happen? ... is it really this coming Monday? ... is it the next weekend? ... is it (fill in the blank) Well, let's look at what we do know: This reflects oil at a lower level than my averaging of the prices ... let me show you what I mean As you can see only 2 of 3 are reporting at this hour ... however, WTI Cushing Spot is almost always within pennies of Nymex Crude Future ... so if we double the Nymex and add the Dated Brent Spot we will get a pretty good idea of the cross-section ... so, 275.48/3 is $91.82. You see my dilemma ... the other is clearly reporting nearly $2 cheaper ... what do I list for you! Dealers choice. Oil was up and rising ... then yesterday it plummeted as if to show that it is as easy to manipulate down as it is to hold it up well over a month ... pushing to levels that we haven't seen in years and that IQD holders assume is for the benefit of the Iraqi people. Well, I imagine that at least some of that is true ... but the world oil market is manipulated for many other means and by many factors. Oh, then by days end it recovered! My question would be ... why did oil continue to rise ... almost without noticing that OPEC refused to raise it's price at it's meeting saying (rough paraphrase) that oil was high enough and that world economies were already stressed? Why? Gold nearly set (perhaps it did ... don't recall) a new record around the beginning of January but then collapsed on itself and fell roughly $60 from then until now ... it is currently running in a $14 channel (give or take) which is about 1%. Gold is affected and manipulated much differently than is oil on the world stage ... it has an inverse relationship to the reserve currency of the planet (yes, I know I'm not accounting for the the other currencies in the SDR basket ... I am trying to keep it basic). Perception ... and I guess I should ad salesmanship are bigger factors with Gold (think it all the way through before you decide to correct me ... again, oversimplified). I get calls and emails every day from people who NEED this to happen (not just want) as do many of us ... I learned a long time ago I had to stay OFF of the emotional rollercoaster. I stay positive ... I watch dates that show OPPORTUNITY ... I don't set my watch by dates. A friend of mine, a pastor, told me yesterday that someone had taken a shot at me in rumors ... I didn't see it but he said that the guy implied that I was a pumper or something akin to it for being positive ... ordinarily it would have made me angry ... instead, I laughed and am chuckling as I write ... I'm wondering what my motivation would be as a pumper ... while we do buy every week as a group ... it is to cut expenses ... we acquire ... not sell ... I only wish I had set up a currency exchange business back when I started this ride ... I mean, don't you? Here's what I do when folks call me woeful (or whining) ... I ask them, "are you a seller now? because I'm a buyer"! It usually shocks folks into realizing that they are just impatient ... nothing more ... they were expecting a date to be "it"! ... when it didn't happen they were greatly disappointed. I guess that it really comes down to your "battle plan". How did you arrive at what you are doing? My wife and I originally bought at the urging of some friends ... not a lot. As I did my "due diligence" (notice it's after-the-fact ... lol) I realized that there was more to this than I imagined. The long and short of it was that my wife and I got in agreement about a plan after fasting and much prayer. Once that was settle ... the pressure was off of me ... I have a job to do and that is to continue to acquire IQD to feed kids internationally! I can't tell you how we have been provided for. I know that some of you just stopped reading and it's a shame ... faith ... peace inducing stuff ... it's a shame, because ... did you know that a study was done of Vietnam Vets who had been POWs ... I'll never forget this statistic ... did you know that a POW was 200 times more likely to survive if he was a Christian than if he wasn't? Not 200% ... 200 times ... that's 20,000% ... incredible isn't it?! Hah, I just looked at the % above and it sort of looks familiar doesn't it? ... lol I read Frank26 and Medic yesterday (among many others) and you can hear that both are crying out that "everything that needs to be done ... has been done ... so pull the trigger already". I believe that they believe that this is true. Me ... I simply don't know ... I tell my folks that there were probably 100,000 things that had to happen for RI/RV ... I knew 8! It would be so much easier with a countdown ticker wouldn't it? ... yeah, that's going happen. So you see ... I have no crystal ball, no intel, no imbeds, no boots on the ground ... nothing but common sense (which I'm told is uncommon ... lol), math and patterns to offer you. And, if I can help keep some folks head's straight about their investment with some perspective ... well, then I would count that as a blessing for me. The way I keep my head straight is that I buy AT LEAST a little IQD every week even if it's only $25 worth ... then I tell myself if that goes to $_.__ then it is worth $_____.__ . I tell myself that I am making them pay for dawdling (yes, I know that's absurd ... I know that they will never know ... but) it makes me feel soooooooooo much better! OMGosh ... maybe that's why the guy thinks I'm a pumper ... otfl ... Peace to all Doc31 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hfeliu Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Great post Doc, be easy on the woeful souls that walk the earth praying for an expedited RV, greed can and will change most if not all. It's a shame that most of these people never bothered to do any research before jumping into this investment, because if they had they would've known that Rome wasn't built in a day, this is politics, not business, and nothing in politics runs smoothly. It'll happen, eventually, we all have to just sit back, read the facts, and keep an eye out for the news and updates without being to concerned with dates or setting our watch to dates as you put it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S and K Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Doc, You words are greatly appreciated. We wait on the Dinar that we may finally stop wandering in our desert of 11 years. Everything is in the hand of the Lord, there is nothing we can do but wait upon the Lord. Our hope is to purchase a home and be planted, according to the word of the Lord. Your post speak truth, a hard reality to sometimes face. I pray that the RV/RI happens very, very soon. Blessings be upon you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jublin Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 After the RV, can we all set up a date when we can rent out a hotel somewhere on a beach resort and just laugh about the ride? I know a lot of families meet once a year and do this but at least some of us could try to set this date up and people who wish to show up could!
