to rain on your parade but it wont revalue much higher than 1000-1 in the short term.
Iraq has only about 20 odd billion dollars in thier central bank as currency reserves.
(Please provide CURRENT documentation to support this figure.)
With 14 trillion dinars in circulation in order to sustain an exchange rate of 1 dinar to 1 dollar they would need at least 14 trillion dollars.
(Again, please provide CURRENT documentation to support the amount in circulation)
Fraid thats going to be impossible for hundreds of years.
(Please provide facts/figures/documentation to support your position here)
Also imagine the problems caused by suddenly increasing the value of the currency by 10000s of percent overnight.
Anyone in iraq with thier paycheque of 300000 dinars would now have 3 hundred thousand dollars in their pocket.
(Please provide facts/documentation regarding the average Iraqi's paycheck versus the average Iraqi's cost of living)
Would you rob someone for three hundred thousand dollars when the security over there is so bad? I guess so.
(Until the above statement is proven with documentation, this is a moot point)
Also would you go to work tomorrow if you had just recieved 300000 dollars?
(Again, a moot point)
I doubt it.
How many would emmigrate?
(Many already have and that has been viewed as a positive sign regarding the entire situation in Iraq)
How rich would you make the terrorists still in iraq to buy more weapons etc?
(Please provide documentation to dispute the claims made by all involved in crushing the insurgency immediately following Zarqhawi's death that the insurgency was almost out of money)
Any loss in confidence at all would immediatley bankrupt the CBI and in general F*** the economy over completely.
(A revalue rate TOO LOW would have that effect)
I dont know what rates your predicting but if they are anywhere above 1000-1 this year im sorry but it just wont happen.
(Exactly. The rate will be what it will be, and all here are fine with that.
A 1to1 peg was briefly thrown out there. A little more reading on your part would give you the answer)
Theres just so many blatently obvious social and economic problems with green lighting such an absurd revaluation.
(Please list these complete with corresponding documentation)
Please dont say they can back the currency with oil because part of article VIII states that they must achieve a stable currency in order to rejoin the world markets as a viable country.
(Again, a little more research on your part would tell you that Iraq has already been deemed to have a stable currency. Further, Iraq has been given a green light to back their currency with their PROVEN oil reserves. I just wish I'd had the foresight to save that document from the IIF forum to give you a link to it. Perhaps Mike or Adam did)
How are they going to acheive a stable currency rate when they base it on an unstable commodity.
(Answered above)
Imagine what would happen if they invented an alternate energy source that was effective and cheap. Oil prices would crash and iraq would be all but ruined.
(Now THIS is at least 10 years away. Again, more research on your part would tell you that)
I know i might get a bashing for saying this stuff here but to all of you who cant see this genuinly and are not just dealers trying to pump sales i hope ive opened your eyes a bit further.
(All of the members of this forum have invested in the Dinar with their eyes wide open. There are NO dealers of Dinar here. A few of the members here are affiliates. However, at NO TIME have they pumped this membership UP to make sales, nor have they openly/blatantly pushed anyone to buy from their main source. When asked, they have PM'd the information to the inquiring member. Please, for your own sake, read the forum threads so that you can make informed posts, indicative to the forum you are posting in)
To all of you dealers in disguise i say bring yourself out into the open by bashing me with irrelevant personal attacks so we can see your true colours.
(You will not be bashed here. We are a friendly, obviously fun loving group. We gather here to get the latest updates, via press releases and statements from Governmental bodies/agencies, complete with corresponding links to same. I am now asking you to do the same)
Any dealer\genuinly positive investor however who can combat my statements with relevant points on how they could reval above that rate with positives outweighing the negative i will respect you and your effort to debate with me.
(Again, this is a "combat free" zone, devoid of any dealers. We are just a humble group of hopeful, realistic investors awaiting some concrete news regarding our investment. Good news I hope. I have no desire to debate with you. I do, however, look forward to reading the documentation that you provide regarding the current situation in Iraq. As I'm sure you are aware, Iraq is unique and cannot be compared to any other historical event as there have been too many unprecedented, never before seen events with regard to Iraq, i.e. the square peg/ round hole)
Warm regards,
