***The RV is a ways off***

[TAV]

I'm posting this so that everyone can comprehend for themselves, some kind of ideal as to what a fortune 500 company looks for before investing. We have seen hundreds of articles stating gas deals, stalled gas deals. FACT IS "Socialist Governments have kicked oil companies out after the hard work of developing the oil wells." NO ONE is going risk being caught up in such. UNLESS ALL FOUR PILLARS OF THIS FRAMEWORK PROVIDE SOME REASONABLE CONCLUSION THAT IT'S SAFE TO MAKE MONEY IN THIS COUNTRY..............FORGETABOUTIT!!!

THE THREAT IS STILL CONSIDERED..........HIGH!!!!!

SWOT analysis (alternately SLOT analysis) is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses/Limitations, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieve that objective. The technique is credited to Albert Humphrey, who led a convention at Stanford University in the 1960s and 1970s using data from Fortune 500 companies.

I hate to say it, "Iraq has a long way to go before we see any returns!!" The fact that the media continues to exploit terms like "war torn", "the war in Iraq" "Troops in Iraq" this chatter will continue to place Iraq in a category of instability, "Just like some of your local urban neighborhoods that's always in the news!!" Many will hesitate to do business with them nor will they take them serious!! I believe Iraq will be exploited for resources and money on a grand scale before we can exchange any notes!!!

I agree that we may be a ways off from an RV! I just hope we are wrong, but until I see facts that show they have greatly reduced the money supply. We may be close to an RD I just hope not accompanied with a LOP of Zeros.

Didn't Shell just sign a $17 billion deal today ???

[gymrat76541]

Last time I checked - no one here is a Fortune 500 Company.

They only invest in dealings with good indications of profit.

The Iraq Dinar has and continues to be a high risk venture.

Ghee Dude, get a clue.

People/companies WITH money do not need to risk money on a long shot.

Go somewhere else and rain on their parade.

[DinarThug]

As Soon as the HCL Passes it Will RV soon After !

Iraq will Exploit it's Resources for Their (and us investors) Benefit !

I Call It "**** Analysis" !

:D

I am not the least bit worried about the risk of investing in Iraq. Nor does it sound like the oil companies are worried about it!

@Shelly, that's what I was thinking too...guess they aren't scared to do business with Iraq!!

[TAV]

Didn't Shell just sign a $17 billion deal today ???

Yep, Dutch Shell did sign a deal, the problem, "the only added value today is that it's on their books MAYBE as accounts receivable!!!"

[Maggie123]

Didn't Shell just sign a $17 billion deal today ???

Yes, after a few years and much consideration is what I read

Yes! Yes the did? So stick that in your pipe and smoke it lobsters.

Here's the deal, this technique re : Albert Humphrey is dated back to the 60's and 70's and does not apply to situations such as what is going on now in Iraq or for that matter globally.

Strategies and sound business models can certainly not apply to this current economic situation.

The world as a whole has never been in this unique position as it is today.

So take your current norm of logic and toss it out the window.

There is so much at stake globally and also much is and will be driven by greed by the political sector as well as the business community.

They smell the money!!!!

Risk is always higher when there is much at stake.

Never stopped them before.

Hot damn can I gat an AMEN !!!

Quad

Go RV

Tav, I really don't pay too much attention to the articles, Don't really know which ones are real or not !!!! But I have been paying close attention to ALL the businesses going into Iraq... you know the saying follow the money .... That's what I'm doing

Seriously! finally someone makes sense. I realize as we are near the end everyone is like "BLAAH BLAH BLAH this is why there going to l0p." It's just these guys don't know anything about the country If they are so worried maybe they should sell there Dinar and get out of the game.

That is very true quadkidd1 People do extreme things when faced with extreme challenges. The norm does not apply in these types of situations.

Did you hear about the flood, it just happen a little while ago, I think Iraq. It is going to be centuries before anything can be done. Someone Noah instructed by God to build a big ship, get two of every kind of animal on it, stock it with food, and only 8 people got on the boat, it only took 125 years, and it rained for 40 days. I just wanted to post an old article, that does not mean anything now.

[TAV]

So...who are you and why should I care what you say?

Because I'm in Foreign Direct Investments FDI and just like you and many others "I'VE GOT MY EYES ON IRAQ AS WELL!!!"

[Biker]

I'm so fricking confused, I'm glad to see we have so many professors that work with Iraq and no exactly what there suppose to do. I thank you all for teaching me, but i don't no witch way to go.Right or left up or down. Screw it ill just sit watch and wait.

ahhhhhh i think they may be a long way off in the dealings with a revalue rate that would be in the high 3.oo range that is for sure ,,,but with the enviroment of the insurgents blowing things up,,,, they have been at this game for more years than we can really logically know of ,,rememger they were at war with other nations while we were fighting in vietnam, i believe that if foreign interest groups wish too get into the iraq area`s and do some kind of busness they will do so with their own protections there will be set backs , always are , when this much money is in line to be made from minerial and other sources not much will stand in the way,,,the revalue of the dinar will be soon , it might be a little raise in the rates or it might be in the higher limits ,,but they will need too get something moving , to get the country of iraq back in to the former self they were at. the arab worlds do not revolve around the western world,{u.s. britian,france} they are in the mix of folks that will be inline with the oil emeriates and the arab league of nations,,,{all of this is just my thinking only but have read a lot on the out comes and going`s on in this section of the world ,, like everyone has said no where to go but up } soooooooo lets r v this thing
