Member: Happy Terrific Tuesday to all……
Member: Appears we have a new PM for Iraq…. Ali Ali-Zaldi
Member: His background is banking and finance. Barzani was on Iraqi tv congratulating him.
Member: Shite banker nominated as Iraq PM … LETS GOOOOO
MZ: Yes we have a Prime Minister Designate. Now he needs to form the rest of his government. Looks like finally Sudani and Maliki has stepped aside.
Member: I think we are officially off stuck now. Buckle up.
Member: Ali al-Zaidi, a businessman and political newcomer, was named prime minister-designate of Iraq. Selected by the Coordination Framework
Member: Frank26 said the US ok’d Ali Ali Zaldi cause of no ties to Iran
Member: Mark with new prime minister’s name as Ali al-Zaldi do you think we have to wait another 30 days for him to form his government before we get an rv?
Member: Mark, so what is your estimated timeline for Iraq and Alak to pull the trigger on the RI/RV now that a PM has been “placed”
MZ: Right after yesterdays podcast a couple bond holders contacted me and said it doesn’t matter who is picked as PM ….They are moving forward.
Member: So do any bond holders have spendable cash?
MZ: yes. But the only people I know that have cash did a “bond flip” They sold to somebody who is selling them to someone else, That does not mean bonds have gone just that someon is spending a lot of money in hopes it will be worth even more soon. A number of nations have been aggregating bonds that way.
Member: Rumor is the dinar rate will be $4.81
Member: We aren’t going to know the rate till we’re standing before those running the exchange. Anything before then is a guess! IMO
MZ: Exactly.
Member: all I know is when it happens we will all be very happy
Member: Mark, it has been suggested that private exchanges will occur prior to a public rate. Do you believe that to be true and how would that communication and such appointments actually be made?
Member: There are several private groups that go before us I believe……but not by much.
Member: Wolverine said that trump will sign the clarity act by tomorrow at business end
Member: The UAE announced its withdrawal from OPEC and OPEC+ effective May 1, 2026
Member: April 28, 2026, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) officially announced its decision to leave OPEC and the OPEC+ alliance, effective May 1, 2026
Member: Saudi Arabia is thinking about leaving OPEC as well.
Member: Venezuela says entire country gets a May 1st pay raise ….also the same day banks start officially start using XRP
Member: So Venezuela gets pay raise …XRP starts officially moving between banks….credit rules change …all May 1st….. how interesting
Member: My end date is July 4. In order for a big birthday celebration you would need something BIG to celebrate. This would be one of those “something bigs” to celebrate. Look forward an things become easier
Member: We are blessed to be a blessing. Don’t miss the opportunity to make someone else’s day.
Member: May everyone’s day be prosperous and peaceful. Thanks Mark and Mods.
