1)HCL
2)FIL
3)CBI bank training
4)Final ICI meeting on the 11th of December
5)Agreement on Saudi and Kuwait debt
6)Iraqi government cabinet reshuffel

I believe these have to be done to tie up all of the loose ends.
In the mean time I'm working on buying more.

I agree with this.

It all comes down to this....REVALUE the dinar now to feed, clothe, and house the country......Continue without a revalue and the world watches as they continue to starve and neglect their own. They are literally in a fishbowl and are globally being watched every second. They are quickly losing credibility and the patience of nations who have given so much humanitarian, economic, and military support.

I agree that the hydrocarbon law is important but it will not feed an Iraqi today, a dinar with purchasing power will. It's a no-brainer folks.

The Iraqi government do not give a shiite about their people, isn't that apparent that a third of them can't be arsed to turn up for work? They will line their own pockets first through greed and corruption before sorting out the poor and needy.

As for delays, well, the country has been having problems for months on end, problems in parliament, arguments etc. I don't believe they think 'we have to do this now'.

They will do the reval when it suits the politicians, not us or the poor people of Iraq.

We know it will happen, WHEN? Anyone's guess, everything points to soon, but the debt, enactment of the laws and a signed Compact are a necessity. Has this been done? We just don't know, maybe, maybe not.

I'm still as confident as ever of a reval, but if it's not tomorrow, hey, no big deal, we can wait another week/month, it'll be worth it. Been in this too long now to get downbeat when dates come and go.
