KCT Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I believe I read somewhere (sorry, I can't remember exactly,) that June 12th is the birthday of Mohomed (sp) not sure if it would have anything to do with this, but I can try to find source and link.

zaborniake Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Looking back at the auction history on the CBI website, it seems that "no auction" days were on the Friday and Saturday "weekend" in Iraq. Not sure why not today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grkabme Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 sorry but it doesnt mean a thing. a few months back the cbi cut way back on auctions and if i remember there were a few days where there were no auctions. everybody read into this like the big day was coming only to resume auctions at big numbers a few days later. they have done this in the past as well. i will admit that this can look like a good sign of things going in the right direction but this is like groundhog day. its happened before. what seems confusing to us is what the iraqi people know as normal. i feel sorry for them. In looking back at the auction history on the CBI site, it has been quite a while since they didn't post the results of an auction on a non-CBI holiday. Simply...interesting.

MovieMaker Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Will most likely mean nothing. I'm not going to get excited until the RV or RD actually happens. I agree, but it is fun watching everyone trying to connect the dots! I don't take this lightly for those who are invested a lot bigger than I when I say this, so don't bash me, it's fun being involved in such a mystery investment. It's rather exciting! Hope we are near the end of the dotted line! GO RV! OH AND I also am happy to see DOC! I miss your daily post, they were always informative and full of personality. I LOVE YOU DOC!

Babs47 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I suppose y'all know it's Sunday now...not Friday or Saturday...but rather the first day of the Iraqi week...when they usually have currency auctions, yes? So the mystery is wondering whether they had one today, and someone forgot to post it, or whether they're not holding currency auctions any more due to an impending RV! We shall soon see! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadraph0nic Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Well, it isn't a national holiday according to the calendars ... I haven't the time to dig for a special bank holiday or "maintence" ... lol How about we kick back after church ... watch the race ... and see how this plays out. Someone will have researched it out thoroughly and posted by then. Shabs is getting new "digs" though! http://cbi.iq/docume...8-6-2011.En.pdf Peace Doc31 Its nice to see your still around. Thanks Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingG Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 There have been times in the past years where they didn't have auctions on sunday or simply didn't post them up. I remember getting excited over this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Nobody Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I also, will not read anything in to this, but still curious..why? Also, If there was a bank holiday or someones birthday, I believe they would all be off work.... Hmmmm, I think maybe somebody just didn't show up for work today...?

dinarmamma Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I am trying to stay positive that this is a good sign but deep in the back of my mind I keep thinking it could be that someone just didn't do their job and update the daily auction file (human error). I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that it is something good though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastang1111 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Want to get excited. but I feel like that stupid dog in the yard every one points and ha ha's at chasing his tail around and around and yes around. man it gets exhasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hafizul Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 kind like a good sign.. godbless... GO RV !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonSkilbeck Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Sorry, but I don't think it means anything. In the last year I've seen the CBI do all kinds of different things and I believe (without checking) that they have skipped a few auctions (almost positive). Anyway, it would be great if it meant something for the Sunday Forex opening, but - I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankdude Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I would guess this means aboslutely nothing. Having spent 11 months and 17 days (but who was counting) in Iraq, I guess someone just didn't update it. One thing I did notice while I was there was a bit of a lack in quality assurance. *lol* I took to calling it "The land of 'Close Enough'."

wicked93gs Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 It means nothing and has nothing to do with the RV...when Kuwait re-issued their currency they had a large auction that day, the auctions are strictly used to control inflation 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Ok day 2 and still no update.... Read somewhere for RV to take place this would have to happen three days in a row!! It's somewhere in the forums and I know it was either doc or scooter that stated it!! I'll try to find it when I get home Edited June 13, 2011 by Crow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpoki Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) I hope this isn't the case, but possibly CBI's IT web person is out sick? I hope not, cause this could be the signs of something BIG! I think their home page updates off the international trade currency links. Meaning, we will see the 1170 exchange rate until it hits internationally. GO RV!!! Edited June 13, 2011 by gpoki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
