This type of answer has been posted in the past. These power brokers are going according to their plan and are unconcerned with how long things may take; they act at will when they feel the time is right- with or without cooperation, agreement or even awareness from other, lesser authorities. All we can do is guess and speculate on some of the how's and when's based on information and knowledge gleened from various sources. Those in the position of real power are not out to screw us peons; they are not adjusting their plan becouse we have discovered a way to profit from what will transpire. They are very focused on their objective and are not affected by who benefits or who suffers along the way of history in the making.... jmho.

Hey there! Any word from the professor? Can you find out if he has any idea when this will rv? thanks..

Paulie,

It's obvious that you have many friends in this forum. They care about you and they want to see you succeed. I know I am one of the greenest people in this forum, but I listen to all that goes on in here and I verify it by reading as much as I can about whats said. I have found exactly what I have been looking for in this forum...likemind. Now is not the time to second-guess all your beliefs in what you have been through for so many months. I know I have only been a part of this forum for less than a month, but I been dealing in the dinar since '05. I pray every single day that there is change, so that I can make my plans a reality. Hang in there brother we are all in the same boat. So let's ride this gravy train until the biscuits fall off!

I just question some of the rumors and what people say will happen.

Hey duck sounds good THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT!!!
On a side note if you can coment or have your opinion on how the IMF is incontrol of montering the the cbi and that the cbi can do what it wants as it will be independant of itself after the supervision of the IMF is lifted and expired at the end of march. Some folks believe this is key as it will reval in april not march

Hello Friends!
Last week I sent an email request to Joey at D. University in Pittsburgh asking him if he would be willing to try to talk to his professor friend and get his latest opinion. Joe did reply that he would try but also said he hasn't seen him for many weeks and wasn't sure how easy it would be to catch up with him. If I get word from Joey, I'll post it on the forum.
Blessings On YOU! K. Allen Orr

Paulie,

I understand what you are saying. My opinion on this is to wait awhile longer and see what happens over the next few months. If they get all of the laws passed and things begin to improve in the security sector. Then if we don't start seeing a big change in the exchange rate within a few months after the oil companies have moved in. Then I will call it a dead horse and move on. I am currently in Tikrit as a contractor and I have a son in the military in Baghdad. I can see improvements everytime I transit through Baghdad but still there is a lot to be done. Patience is the key but even that runs out after so long.

Thanks Eastman

Paulie, I wrote about this in another thread: some investors are not very risk tolerant. Here are some suggestions: First, did you invest more in IQD than you can afford to lose? If so, cash in now. Second, Are you eating Tums by the handfuls because of this investment? If so, cash in now. Finally, if the answers to the first two questions are "no," then let it ride because you've already factored in losing your entire investment. Remember, professional investors NEVER ask, "how much can I make?" Instead they ask, "how much can I lose?" Keep the faith, brother.

(Mods feel free to move this if it is in the wrong place)

I moved it here in the Rumor/Predictions Forum. Good Luck. -neno

The answer is simple. They can go 1:1 overnight with a zero lop. Unfortunately for us a zero lop would gut the biggest % of any ROI we would see. As of late December of 2006 the CBI is still reporting a 14 TRILLION M2 figure. Thus zero lop by the current CBI bylaws is the only way to quickly do a 1:1. Fact is the normal manner of introducing a new currency into World Markets is a gradual one based on true economic expansion. The economic growth of Iraq will go hand in hand with IQD value increases. Add the security needed to enhance the economic machine. We are in good shape if this security sweep succeeds. I know there is a lot of frustration out there in Dinar investment land. We need to have patience with the young Iraq and let them do what's best for their country on their time frame.

Thank you and your son for your service, both heros in my humble opinion. That you see vast improvements each time you've gone through Baghdad is great news that we don't get from the mainstream media. I've been thinking along the same line as you as far as gathering data. March might be a benchmark type month. The longer this thing shows slow grow makes me more and more convinced an overnight extreme large re-val will not happen. I still want a couple more months of data to show that, but it seems more and more that will be the case. One point I do not agree with you on is if it shows slow grow say through the summer does NOT make this investment a "dead horse". True as we go along many will "cash out" due to frustration, need, or frankly satisfied with a solid return on investment. But even slow grow can bring you "Microsoft" type returns if you have enough patience. Everyone can decide for themselves, but until the Iraqis have made a final firm "peg" revealing what the exchange rate will be for the next 5 years or so, I'm holding out for my "magic" number of .15 to .20. Hang in there, we will know a LOT more shortly and I for one am extremely excited this thing could pay off HUGE.
