.....Monday morning 1am CST a interesting event is suppose to happen....I just heard on the TV (Middle east news channel) on Direct TV that a monetary currency value is going to be set for "ALL" Arabian Gulf nations. This includes all of them....even Iraq. This move is suppose to align all countries involved to allow commerce trade to emerge between all Arabian Nations, thus allowing them to internationally trade world wide. They are hoping this will ease the pressure from Dubai, Iraq and Qutar. So, GO CURRENCY GO...I believe it this time, I heard it with my own two ears......RV,RV,RV,pleeeease.
Iraq Will Be "Big Player" at OPEC
http://www.zawya.com/Story.cfm/sidAN...0US%20diplomat
BAGHDAD, Dec 13, 2009 (AFP) - Iraq will be a "big player" at OPEC's meeting in Angola later this month over its allocated crude production quota following a string of deals with oil majors, a senior US embassy official said on Sunday.
The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries meeting in Luanda on December 22 will come shortly after Baghdad set ambitious output targets at a Friday-Saturday auction of Iraqi oil field contracts to foreign energy firms.
"They're going to have to negotiate with their OPEC partners on that one," the official at the embassy in Baghdad told reporters, on condition of anonymity, referring to Iraq's production aims and its OPEC quota.
"They're going to be a big player that wants to come back to the table, so they're going to have to negotiate with Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela and the other OPEC members."
Iraq currently produces around 2.5 million barrels of oil per day (bpd).
But after awarding seven contracts to foreign energy firms at the auction, following three more deals sealed since a first auction in June, it aims to ramp up output to 12 million bpd within seven years.
Since economic sanctions of the Saddam Hussein era after his 1990 invasion of Kuwait, Iraq has been the only OPEC member not bound by the OPEC quota system and the cartel's overall output ceiling of 24.84 million bpd.
The US official added there was still time for OPEC to reach accord on Iraq's quota, as it would be several years before the country will be in position to hike output to its targeted levels.
"This isn't like suddenly tomorrow (Iraq is) going to be producing 12 million barrels," the official said.

CHINA HITCHES YUAN TO DOLLAR - OPINION
This is an interesting analysis of the international currency markets, specifically the relationship between the Chinese yuan and the USD.
China hitches yuan to dollar, cedes control
by Caroline Baum on Sunday, 13 December 2009
President Barack Obama got an earful from China's leaders on his inaugural trip to Asia earlier this month.
They wanted to know about the weak US dollar, rock-bottom interest rates, big budget deficit, trade protectionism in the form of tyre tariffs and "massive speculation" inflating asset bubbles around the world. China's top banking regulator, Liu Mingkang, said US policies were creating "new, real and insurmountable risks" to the global recovery, especially in emerging economies.
Obama took it all in. Too bad his ubiquitous teleprompter didn't provide him with an appropriate response: The dollar is our currency, but your problem.
That's what president Richard M Nixon's Treasury secretary, John Connally, told a delegation of Europeans worried about exchange rate fluctuations in 1971. The comment is equally relevant today.
In hitching its currency, the yuan, to the dollar, China cedes sovereignty over its monetary policy. That's China's choice.
Once made, if China is unhappy about the dollar/yuan exchange rate, "tough luck," said Bill Poole, former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis, in a paper prepared for the Cato Institute's Annual Monetary Conference on Nov 19.
Poole made several other points, albeit in a more diplomatic manner:
- It is not the responsibility of the US to conduct its policies for the benefit of other countries;
- Neither the Fed nor any part of the US government has an obligation to maintain the purchasing power of dollar-denominated assets in a currency other than the dollar;
- The US is obligated to maintain price stability at home, which is good for the world economy.
US interest rates may be too low, the dollar may be too weak and speculation may be rampant in emerging markets. But these are considerations for US policymakers as they relate to US price stability and economic growth. It is not the Fed's mandate, nor its business, to deliver price stability to China, Taiwan and Singapore.
That's not the way everyone sees it. Curiously, the same folks who regularly insist that the Treasury, not the Fed, runs "dollar policy" claim the onus for the weak dollar and yuan rests with the Fed.
For the record, the Treasury can instruct the Fed to intervene in the foreign exchange market to buy or sell dollars. It cannot prevent the Fed from offsetting those purchases or sales via open market operations. Which means that the Fed has de facto control over the dollars in circulation, and any suggestion the Treasury has a "dollar policy," - strong, weak or otherwise - is hogwash.
US monetary policy may not be the right fit for China's booming economy. However, allowing the yuan to float, and most likely appreciate, would certainly reduce China's competitiveness.
Last year US imports from China totalled a record $337.8bn, almost five times the value of exports to China, according to the US Census Bureau.
Does China want to reduce its exports and create mass unemployment as it seeks to absorb agricultural workers from the countryside into its urban factories? The unwillingness to let the yuan appreciate suggests it does not.
When a country decides to maintain a fixed-exchange rate, it has to buy or sell its own currency to maintain the peg. China is an extreme example, accumulating $2.3 trillion of foreign exchange reserves, most of it in US dollars, from its trade surplus.
China's exporters get paid in dollars and convert those dollars to yuan, courtesy of the People's Bank of China.
Where does the PBOC get the constant stream of yuan it needs to buy dollars? It creates them, which has the effect of increasing bank reserves. The banks, in turn, lend those yuan out, which increases the money supply.
China's M2 money supply is growing at a 29 percent year- over-year rate, which, in economist parlance, is "unsustainable." The US has a potential inflation problem, with banks hoarding more than $1 trillion of excess reserves rather than making new loans. Its M2 money supply has shown no growth since June, and bank credit has been falling almost consistently for the last thirteen months.
While the lag between money growth and inflation can be long and variable, China's inflation problem is more immediate, its asset bubbles more threatening. The Chinese government enacted a $586bn stimulus package last year and reduced interest rates five times, producing a $1.3 trillion expansion in credit this year.
China's benchmark stock index was up more than 80 percent before last week's slide, and property prices are booming.
If China's authoritarian leaders think the dollar is too weak, interest rates are too low or speculation too destabilising, they can do something about it. Telling the US how to run policy isn't the solution. Letting the yuan float would be a start.
Or, as that ancient Chinese proverb says (OK, I made that part up), lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

THOMSON RUETERS IS NOT FOR TRADING STOCK. IT IS FOR TRADING BY PROFESSIONAL REGISTERED FOREX TRADERS. THOSE TRADERS MUST BE REGISTERED WITH THOMSON RUETERS. NOW THE TRADE BANK OF IRAQ HAS BEEN TRADING ONLINE UNDER THIS SYSTEM SINCE THE 7TH. UNLESS YOU ARE REGISTERED WITH THOMSON RUETERS OR WITH TBI YOU CANNOT ACCESS IT. NOW WHAT THIS ALL MEANS I DO NOT KNOW. ONLY A PROFESSIONAL FOREX TRADER CAN ANSWER THAT FOR US. I KNOW WE HAVE SOME ON HERE. NOW I BELIEVE THIS IS A POSSIBLE INTERBANK TRADING. THEY CAN DO THAT FOR SO LONG WITHOUT AN RV. NOW THAT IS ALL I HAVE ON THAT. NOW I AM NOT UP TO ANSWERING ?'S. SORRY BUT JUST CAN'T. NOW I WISH THAT PEOPLE COULD WAIT UNTIL I AM DONE AND YOU JUMP IN. SORRY ALL DONE.
ANOTHER POST----------------------------------------------------------------------
BOTTOM LINE. THAT IS TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH ECONOMIC SUCCESS THROUGH EASY MEANS. IT WON'T WORK. NOW FROM SOMEONE I TRUST AND THIS IS AT A VERY HIGH LEVERL IN A CORPORATE BANK. HE SAID THE IQD IS GOING TO DEFINATELY RV. HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW WHEN. THERE IS NO REASON THEY SAY THAT IS HOLDING THEM UP TO RV. THEY JUST HAVEN'T DONE IT. AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I HAVE NO CLUE WHY. NOTHING WE CAN FIND OR HEAR EXPLAINS WHY IT HASN'T RV'D. BANKS IN THE US ALL OVER ARE SPECULATING IT IS COMING. BUT WHY ARE THEY? THEY ARE IN THE SAME BOAT AS US. THEY ARE NOT GETTING ANY INFO FROM THE TREASURY. SO THEY ARE ALSO FOLLOWING RUMORS. THERE IS NOT ONE CORPORATE BANK THAT DOES NOT THINK IT IS HAPPENING BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. NOW I WANT TO THROW A FEW THINGS OUT FOR FOOD FOR THOUGHT. OBAMA WANTED A NEW TAX LAW THAT WOULD HAVE TAKEN ALOT OF OUR MONEY FROM US. IT WAS NOT PASSED. AND HE WANTED IT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR PASSED. AGAIN HE DID NOT GET IT. WHY DID HE WANT IT? DOES ANYONE ELSE KNOW OF A N INVESTMENT THAT COULD BE THE LARGEST SINGLE TRANSFER OF WEALTH EVER IN HISTORY? THAT IS ON THE TABLE.
OK THEN THINK OF THE NEXT THING THAT THE PRESIDENT JUST DID? CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT OBAMA JUST MADE UP? FOR NEW WEALTH… NEW IRS TASK FORCE.. 1000 new IRS employees.. AND EXCUSE ME BUT WHAT NEW WEALTH? UNEMPLOYMENT IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH. MY FRIEND CRUNCHED SOME NUMBERS. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 200 MILLION TAXPAYERS. LET'S SAY HALF HAVE TO PAY IN. HALF GET MONEY BACK. WHEN HE FIGURED IT OUT, THE 500,000 WHO WILL HAVE TO PAY IN TAXES ON THE IQD. WILL PAY MORE THAN THE 100 MILLION. SO THERE IS GOOD REASON TO HAVE A NEW WEALTH IRS TEAM. NOW GET A GOOD PERSON TO DO YOUR TAXES. SO THE GOVT ARE NOT RUNNING UP YOUR BACKSIDE WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB. CUZ THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LET US GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING.

How many more UN meetings are there Family? One. Therefore IMO……….one more chance………..for the announcement or they get squat.
I AM GOING TO PUT THIS INTEL IN CAPITAL LETTERS BECAUSE IMO……….IT IS THE INTEL I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SHARE WITH YOU BESIDES ………….THE RED RI AND FIREWORKS. HERE GOES:
ONE OF OUR ARAB SPEAKING TEAM MEMBERS JUST CALLED. THIS MAN CAN BE AS DRY …………AS A DESERT. HE IS STRAIGHT FORWARD AND VERY FRANK………..WITH FRANK. HE WAS EXCITED AS HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE IS A GREAT REQUEST FOR THE DINAR BY THE IRAQI PEOPLE AT THIS MOMENT IN IRAQ. WE TOLD HIM THAT WE ARE AWARE OF THAT………..BUT HE INSISTED FOR ME TO LISTEN. HE WENT ON TO EXPRESS THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAQ IS “PULLING” DINARS OUT OF THE MARKETPLACE AS WE SPEAK. THE PEOPLE ARE DEMANDING THE DINAR BECAUSE THERE IS VERY LITTLE OF IT AROUND AND THEY KNOW THAT THE RATE IS ABOUT TO GO UP. HE KEPT SAYING………THERE IS VERY LITTLE DINAR OUT THERE. HERE IS THE KEY POINT……..JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO SAY IT, HE SAYS IT FIRST……….FRANK, THEY DID THE SAME THING IN KUWAIT JUST BEFORE THE ANNOUNCEMENT. WITH A KNOT IN MY THROAT AND SOMEWHAT MOISTENED EYES………..I SAID………..YES, I REMEMBER. I WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT IMO………..THIS IS A LOGISTICAL BEGINNING. THERE ARE HUGE LOGISTICS THAT HAVE TO SWING INTO PLACE. IT IS HAPPENING.
At 1:47am this morning Family ……….I received two pictures of a 10 and 25 lower denom. A soldier had just arrived and he had it in his duffle bag stuffed with many other old Saddam Swiss notes. This afternoon I received a phone call and email of a 1 lower denom.

PAPPAJACK POST
If as we have been hearing that Iraq will RI on a weekend has any basis then this is the last weekend before the UN meetings. If not then another misconception is busted. Things are happening and many good signs point to this happening today or tomorrow but remember this is IRAQ we are dealing with.
WILDCAT - Dinar Speculator

REGIONS BANK RUMOR - Unknown Source
Good news!!
OK...THIS IS TRUE...... A banker ___ associate of mine that works for Regions Bank has told me this info. Regions is changing the way they do business. As in training their employees for a better quality of people than quantity. They are training people to be more of a financial adviser than a loan office. They are expecting a sudden overflow of millionaires. Anyone want to give their two dinars worth as to why?
