jd says():Thanks
designbyg says():yw
jd says():Besides the crooked politicians,I wonder who has money inside Iraq to buy bonds?
designbyg says():theres more going on there that you care to acknowledge….
jd says():I guess we only know a small peace of the puzzle.
designbyg says():i guess you got a lot of catching up to do then…..cuz i already have all 4 corners done and i’m filling in the middle now…..
Baxter1243 says():last month…. the banks offered 18% interest to any depositers… why would they buy bonds at just 6%??
jtank says():Baxter1243: last month…. the banks offered 18% interest to any depositers… why would they buy bonds at just 6%?? STILL GETTING DINAR OFF THE STREETS?
larrykn says to jtank():I know they were giving that 18% to try to get people to put money back in the banks and out from under their matteress, but the bonds were to help pay for infrastructure , 2 different things
plowboy says():I don’t know to what level to get excited about what MD said yesterday about the SWIFT codes and Iran banks, etc.
larrykn says to plowboy():Swift codes allow banks to exchange money from one bank to another, bank transfers, this mean Iran and Iraq will be able to do that, I believe they need to be international to do that
plowboy says to larrykn():so you inference is that I should be excited?
larrykn says to plowboy():don’t know about you but I am 🙂
mudder says to plowboy():It means Iran is going to try and ride Iraq’s coat tails as long as they can….
plowboy says to mudder():I don’t get your meaning
mudder says to plowboy():Iran is a lomg time away from becoming international with all financial sanctions removed….. They have double digit inflation and are in a real mess….
WAY WORSE THEN IRAQ… Iran has many many banks in Iraq….. More then Iraq…lol Do you not think the dinar will be their currency until they get it together????
plowboy says to mudder():I see, thanks
mudder says to plowboy():Iran has many many dinar…. I would call it RESERVES once iraq is off the ground…
da58 says():when they get a govt put together.. I think it’ll get real exciting..
larrykn says to mudder):just a thought but I think we(those outside of Iraq) bought unciculated dinar, Iran I would think has ciculated dinar, I wonder if they will deleted the zeros over there and cancel all large ciculated dinar,, Just a thought
mudder says to larrykn():Good Question???
larrykn says to mudder():that would stop the corruption of what iran stole
mudder says to larrykn():I know a lot of my dinar has been somewhere????LOL
larrykn says to mudder):lol

Central bank: Iraq will receive substantial financial support soon
plowboy says to larrykn():those special guests in parliament seems like a perfect scenario for the big announcement
David[X25SNDAUGTUKHUQWI6BTABCMVI@yahoo..] says to wmawhite(8:06 AM):
Good morning Mr White I just came in fat the point were Samson had found an article say the Secretary General of the UN and the President of the World Bank were visting the Iraqi Parliment.
larrykn says to plowboy():I don’t like calling anything but it is interesting
David[X25SNDAUGTUKHUQWI6BTABCMVI@yahoo..] says to wmawhite():Isn’t that unusual protocol?
samson says():http://alforatnews.com/modules/news/…storyid=111635
http://alforatnews.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=111635
Parliament reads and discusses the day five laws including the National Oil Company Law
Society says():`I have been watching for “when” they are coming…….As I understand, the last time they both came at the same time was when the “3 zero” currency was launched….
Society says():They have been telling us for about a month that they are coming
samson says():all news articles came from another forum
Society says():I expect them this Saturday or Sunday……..I am also watching for a holiday announced for this Sunday/Monday for Nowruz……..I have not seen this formally announced yet
wmawhite says to David[X25SNDAUGTUKHUQWI6BTABCMVI@yahoo..](8:10 AM):
I do not believe it is normal for the heads of the World Bank and the UN to just drop in and visit the Iraqi Parliament. These are very busy people. However, as I have been repeading myself for months………this lines up with what the IMF told the world about Iraq.
Society says to Hutch():Perhaps…..I don’t take it that way especially in context of other articles over the last month
samson says():http://economy-news.net/content.php?id=2484
http://economy-news.net/content.php?id=2484
Private banks and the Iraqi Council of the Association of Business discuss with the International Monetary Fund for ways to cover the budget deficit in 2016
Society says to Hutch():If so, we will see many articles definitive of this happening
David[X25SNDAUGTUKHUQWI6BTABCMVI@yahoo..] says():Mr White the selection of the Parliment could be a powerful venue to get all behing the IMT/WB
Society says to Hutch():My bet is Jabouri was announcing today that they will be there Saturday and that the “formal” agenda that they set will be preempted
David[X25SNDAUGTUKHUQWI6BTABCMVI@yahoo..] says():procedural steps
wmawhite says to David[X25SNDAUGTUKHUQWI6BTABCMVI@yahoo..]():The importance of having Parliament onboard is vital for the transition inside of Iraq away from the dollar.
The citizens need to hear the same message from their members of Parliament. Of course, I could be wrong here. These gentlemen may just be dropping in to sample the local food and finer wine.
Society says to larrykn():I like Sat/Sun better if they declare Sunday/Monday holiday
David[X25SNDAUGTUKHUQWI6BTABCMVI@yahoo..] says to subgirl():larrykn says to Society():I’ll take any day myself 😀
msdiva says():could iraq be near the end or close
Society says to wmawhite():haha……..anyone that thinks this will be a casual visit is sipping the wine this morning
msdiva says()::D im sipping orange juice
David[X25SNDAUGTUKHUQWI6BTABCMVI@yahoo..] says to subgirl():Mr White now there is an idea for my new business vineyards there has to be some elevated part of Iraq that has favorable conditions for grapes
wmawhite says to msdiva():If you were a senior in school a at the end of October 2015 you were told that you will graduate during the 1st half of 2016……….would you think that you were close today to graduating?
wmawhite says to David[X25SNDAUGTUKHUQWI6BTABCMVI@yahoo..]():Up in Kurdistan.
msdiva says():so is April 1 another target date
David[X25SNDAUGTUKHUQWI6BTABCMVI@yahoo..] says to subgirl():I am doing well subgirl would you like to run away together and start a vinyard amd sell wine in Iraq.?
msdiva says to wmawhite():hmmmmmmm let me tink lol
wmawhite says to msdiva():The key here is “1st half of 2016″……………
Society says to msdiva():Not for me…….Sadr protestors will tear the place apart on the 29th
larrykn says to wmawhite):which we are in right now 🙂
clay says to wmawhite():(y)
msdiva says to wmawhite():okay this first half of 2016 wouldnt that be june since its halfway between
David[X25SNDAUGTUKHUQWI6BTABCMVI@yahoo..] says to wmawhite(8:23 AM):
Kurdistan interesting you no I am finding great reds for $7 all over Latin America. US wines are crazy the worst cabs are selling for $20 plus. I will research the Kurish wine business.
msdiva says to Society():okay see some of this is so confusing to me
wmawhite says to clay():possible….
wmawhite says to David():You ought converse with rcookie about wine….
msdiva says to wmawhite():its a wait and see what happens next kind mode 🙂
Society says to msdiva():I think today through Tuesday will tell the tale of where we are
wmawhite says to msdiva():Yep……I never received a due date when I bought my IQD………
Society says to msdiva():I have waited for this weekend for many weeks…….Nowruz…..”New Beginnings”
David says to wmawhite():but he is probably an expert is my guess. My strategy is to look for wines under $10 thatr have ratings of 90 plus usually works out well
Society says():Kurdistan announced their holiday, Baghdad has not yet announced
samson says():you should try the Aussie Wines
msdiva says():okay well im stay busy for 11 more days im going to try to maintain and see what will happen
says to samson():Any labels for me a semi full body cab? that would be great. Thanks My email is [PERSONAL EMAIL DELETED] if you get a chance thanks samson
wmawhite says():Folks,…….IMO……….most of what you are seeing taking place in the news articles, such as the PM reforming the GOI, is the building of the institutions that will make Iraq successful many years into the future. Without them, Iraq will not grow.
These are very good changes that must take place. However, they are not the primary indicators that are taking place that the IMF is assisting the CBI/GOI with that will be about what we are looking for.
samson says to David):Unfortunately David I just know I don’t pay much for our wine here and I only like Shiraz and don’t know much else to help you I’m sorry but all our international visitors love our wines here
msdiva says to wmawhite():so this can still happen with Alak present
samson says to David):Was given as a gift by one of our Japanese visitors a $60 bottle of red and am saving this once exchanged
Society says to wmawhite():My only reservation has been whether the “PTB” want to make sure these changes are completed prior….however, Jabouri instructing the CBI to commence the economic reform mitigated my concerns……..I take it as evidence nothing else is needed or they have everything positioned to happen simultaneously
Society says to msdiva():Yes!!!!…..IMO, if the “PTB” needed Alak gone, he would have been gone……If they switch CBI governor’s, it will happen when they need it to happen….Sadr is demanding change ansd so I think they will however, it will happen with the new cabinet approval potentially Saturday
wmawhite says to msdiva():The IMF stated what they expect to happen……also, the Technical Letter of Intent is very detailed in what it lays out and in there, there is nothing that says anything about where Maliki is living nor who the current or present Governor of the CBI is.
Society says to msdiva():Bottom line, this is an issue that is not an issue we should even be concerned over
msdiva says():thank you both for clearing the air
Society says to wmawhite():(y)(y)
msdiva says():so i will just see what happen
msdiva says():exactly lets see all this unfold
David says to samson():Malaki who? Is there a BGG call tonight?
samson says():no idea
larrykn says to David):he just had one yesterday
larrykn says to David):or was that the day before 😀
David says to samson():The US wines are great but the have had really big price increases perhaps because of the drought , but mediocer wines are $20 plus. I like a lot of the Shiraz wines , some are to “zingy ” but some are amazing maybe petite shiraz don’t know much . thanks though
David says to wmawhite():Mr White are you having a call this afternoon / evening today?
David says to larrykn():Day before ground hogs day
wmawhite says to David):BGG asks me if I am available whenever he wants to have one.
David says to wmawhite():Okay then I will wait and see. Thanks

msdiva says():why is the USD down to 94.73 is that a bad thing
msdiva says(:its steadily falling
