[Oil prices are relatively stable, the price of gold is staying above $1300/oz and most likely going up.  Iraq has plenty of both.  With all that has gone on with […]

If you’re watching the news stories, you’ll already know that my prediction to start seeing things moving around now is taking shape… We’ve actually got news! Which is a GREAT thing, considering the […]

No alert flags. I see good things happening for the IQD right now. I’m actually on a “medium” alert at this time…

[Does the Fitch rating need to get better before Iraq could RV, or would an RV increase Iraq’s Fitch rating?] I did see that Iraq was given a B- or […]

[Just to clarify things again. I thought an HCL law passage was or is not a factor into any implementation of an RV.] It’s not “mandatory”, but I place it […]

Not much to report today in Iraqi news or Dinar progress, but I kind of expected that. I’m leaning on October to be a big month in our news. My primary reason […]

No HCL yet, but there’s some other interesting news… most of it I can sum up very succinctly, so I’ll just go ahead and do it. – Formation of a committee […]

[I thought it would be the Central Bank of Iraq calling the shots, how is it that now Iran is somewhat influencing said fixed interest rates they’ll have that other […]

[I have been struggling over the issue of the 50K note. Is this detrimental or a good thing with regards to our Investment ? If the Dinar was to RV […]

[Is it true that Iraq’s fiscal year starts on October 1st?  And if it does, do you think that makes Oct 1 a more likely date for an RV…?] I […]

[What is the current situation in Fallujah? What is the status of Mosul? …do you think the liberation of Mosul will occur prior to an RV?] I won’t go into […]

Article: “The House voted, Sunday, to extend the legislative term of the parliament for a month extra.” […What is your feeling on this, and are they trying to get something […]

We’re looking at something big again. The re-shuffling of Parliament is all but done. It’s been a little quiet on that front for a week or so, and that’s a […]

[Can you answer with any degree of surety, is this an “IF,” or a “WHEN”?] IMO, this is definitely a “WHEN” and “HOW MUCH” question, not an “IF”.

[With Abadi talking of the money smuggled out of his country, what are your thoughts on the money we bought?] I have no concerns about our Dinar, especially those of […]

Although there is no running to the bank yet…we see a couple of really positive things: 1.  Daash (bad guys) control drops from 40% to 14%. 2.  Abadi declares solid […]

I’m excited about the current situation. The people are done with the dragging of heels, parliament is making REAL changes, and we’ve got a very realistic path to the HCL […]

Last week….I mentioned that we could be at the cusp of some amazing ACTION from Iraq. We wanted to see it happen before the weekend, but it was relatively quiet […]

[On every one’s mind would be Parliament, the GOI, and what the recent turmoil we are seeing means?] YES – the turmoil! It’s about darn time something happened, I’m looking […]

[Do you think a date and rate exist? Do you think that whoever is in charge in Iraq has decided a date and rate yet or is that still up […]

I love it when Iraq makes things simple for me. For weeks and months, we’ve been at a standstill with Iraq. No progress, nothing to really talk about. But if […]

1. Governments. They don’t care what you think. They don’t care about your view of economics, debt, or their obligation to society. This is doubly true for Iraq and much of the […]

[Is Abadi really under the gun to complete the monetary reform in Iraq at risk of being removed from office?] In my opinion…not in the slightest. He’s done so much […]

[Do you believe the smaller denominations are already in Iraq and are ready for distribution?  If yes, held in the banks or green zone?] Yes. At one time I had […]

It certainly doesn’t take a rocket surgeon or a brain scientist to see that oil is silly low right now. After you take into account for inflation, it’s even more obvious […]

[Is Iraq financially stable enough to completely disregard the RV all together if they choose to?  When was the last time the RV was discussed in Parliament? Is there any […]

It would behoove them to come out with a low RV when their oil is higher, because it would increase their profit by the same factor… To put it simply, […]

[Why is so important just for the oil price to go up when Iraq is so rich in natural resources and not to forget agriculture?] I’m going to try not […]

[No country in history has ever had a major revaluation of their currency, instead went with the LOP option…what most makes you feel that they are going to revalue, and […]
