Thread: Iraq/Dinar News. 09/05 to 01/14/07

Just a few thoughts here regarding the news...

1. Well, as Vipor said earlier it looks like B of A might be looking for the leak. It is interesting that they are so interested in the source. If they truly were not dealing in Dinar to the public, then why look for the leak? In the past people have called them about the dinar and all they have gotten was a terse NO! and a hang-up. Now they want to know where the info is coming from.... In my experience, that usually means they are looking to hang someone for letting the cat outta the bag. In this case I don't know why, but I would suspect that this would be considered as something along the lines of insider trading should the dinar revalue soon. Not sure if they would call it insider trading, but who knows. Anyway, looks like we might want to stop calling B of A unless "the source" wants to look for a new job. But hey, "the source" may not really care if the dinar comes through, eh? May want to keep your sudden windfall on the down low though as that would surely identify you as in the know.

2. With the release of the two press articles today regarding strengthening the exchange rate of the dinar. Doesn't it seem odd that they would say what they are doing as it will increase speculation. After thinking about it, maybe they aren't so worried about all of us speculators, as we pretty much are already aware of the revalue. Also, the amount of dinar out of country may be fixed as the sources seem to have been drying up (dinar dealers running out-finding it hard to get more) and the CBI knows how much is going to the established banks. So, maybe they have a handle on all of the out of country dinar. So, again just thinking out loud here, what is the purpose of telegraphing their intentions with the dinar via their local paper? Maybe its to tell their people that the 10,000 dinar handout is going to be worth more. Sort of a "hey show up to get your handout, it will be worth it".....

Anyway, just a thought...

The last bank we called said yes they could get Dinar, and it was a 2 day turn around, but we had better hurry if we wanted to order. I thought that was strange. This was early last week. Here we go........
Good day.

Then why didn't you post it last week?

Consesus was that it won't be an internal reval because they need outside funding. The only way for that is an INTERNATIONALLY traded currency. Hope this answers your question.

Trust me in the 15 years of dealing with this bank I have learned that they are very slow about most things they do.......

Not sure if this has been posted yet because I haven't caught up yet on all the reading, so thought I'd post it.

I believe this is the same as the International Compact #11 on Adster's list that was scheduled for the end of November....

11. End of November. International Compact for Iraq signed, sealed and delivered, or was it signed



Cheers!

I think you're reading too much into it. They want to find the source to hopefully put an end to thousands of phone calls that are severely interrupting their business routine. Me do, however, likey the CBI info.

I think on point one they are trying to find out because the increase in call volume is greater than they projected and they did not have enough people. That leads to long wait times and PO'd customers.

Just a thought.

On number 2 I think you are spot on. That was a message meant for the citizens of Iraq. The USA Today article was meant for everyone else. They know they can not dissuade those of us already in, but they can sure stop those on the fence.
