SFMEDIC CHAT - Dinar Speculator

******: THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF AN RV AND RUNNING FOR RE
ELECTION IS NOT SOMETHING YOU DO ON THE FLY
******: AND IT CERTAINLY IS NOT WHAT IS DONE WHEN YOU ARE
SPENDING THE NEXT TWO DAYS IN EGYPT

Elevate101 says to (16:14:52): From the office of the prime minister http://translate.googleusercontent.c...c6aTYjpG1zpQBQ
maximuspr says to (16:14:53): Maliki's annoucement of hi political aspiration, is still up for 21-22 Dec?
Breitling says to (16:15:05): they are doing something to put the currency on the international market
Breitling says to (16:15:26): max i do believe so
Breitling says to (16:15:52): the activity points to this
Breitling says to (16:16:02): this is what i was talking about and excited about
Mailman's neighbor says to (16:16:20): B what did you think about the press release?
OIF_Vets_for_Dinar says to (16:16:25): I HIGHLY SUGGEST EVERYONE READ THE ARTICLE THAT ELEVATE101 JUST POSTED
Breitling says to (16:16:30): fallowing the money
Breitling says to (16:17:12): do you guys understand that ?
Breitling says to (16:17:40): want to go over it ?
Breitling says to (16:18:33): lets just throw on the table what they need to do , then we will go over whats been done
Breitling says to (16:19:14): they need to have oil feilds pumping oil , and a international currency to trade and for it to get to the people
Breitling says to (16:19:44): the IMF has been giving them bench marks to hit , so they have been in audit mode for awile
Breitling says to (16:20:23): the reason the IMF does this is so the other countries around iraq who are also members of the IMF , know it is not artificial
Mailman's neighbor says to (16:20:25): B do you want this moded?
Breitling says to (16:20:35): no
maximuspr says to (16:20:46): Al-Maliki's Words: I do not want to attach again but if it's a popular mandate from the Iraqis, I am ready to assume responsibility once again at the behest of the Iraqis
Breitling says to (16:20:53): this is just a recap
Breitling says to (16:21:10): they inpart
Breitling says to (16:21:27): they created the auction floor from the CBI
Breitling says to (16:21:34): i have been tracking the flow
Breitling says to (16:21:50): they have been buying back and selling the same dinar
Breitling says to (16:22:00): this created a market for it out of nothing
Breitling says to (16:22:11): and also the idea it may RV anytime also helped
Breitling says to (16:22:23): that info was leaked out to us
Breitling says to (16:22:29): well planned out
Breitling says to (16:22:38): it helped the demand in the market
Breitling says to (16:23:03): with in mind they will have to go international at some point
Breitling says to (16:23:29): to do this they needed a way for people to invest into Iraq that inpart is the ISX
Breitling says to (16:23:43): the pther half is the TBI under rueters
Breitling says to (16:24:21): will help cap that so you can invest into oraq, keep the currency at flow with global trends , and for iraq's to invest outside the country
Breitling says to (16:24:32): that have done this
Breitling says to (16:24:45): last week activity
Breitling says to (16:25:13): Iraq was looking at buy back as much as dinar as possible outside of the auctions
Breitling says to (16:25:54): they mess with the auctions can put a flag up
Breitling says to (16:26:00): so they have been asking banks
Breitling says to (16:26:17): and have had agents out buying from the private sector

Breitling says to (16:27:54): i am guessing other banks did also
Breitling says to (16:28:21): CBI has alreadt RV'ed the dinar
Breitling says to (16:28:31): it is in malikis pocket
Breitling says to (16:28:36): it is up to him now
Breitling says to (16:28:51): so that brings in promises and the dates attached to it
Breitling says to (16:29:12): now that is speculation on if they will do it on any of those dates
Breitling says to (16:29:26): but this is the reason they are looking at them real hard
Breitling says to (16:29:41): any questions?
mroberts653 says to (16:30:10): Breitling: I think you mentioned earlier that you have an account with Chase bank, but that you are going to exchange at HSBC in China. What is the advantage?

CHAZMAN POST - One Dinar

I correspond with a small dinar trader/dealer located in South Dakota. He's been at it for at least 4 years and knows a number of other traders/dealers. Here's some text from an email I received from him this evening (December 19).
During the past three days there have been a lot of dinar changes.
I'm not sure if someone has wind that something is going on or exactly what it is...

The Customs (Homeland Security) offices have been confiscating dinar and most domestic dealers I complete sold out. They are still taking orders but none are being delivered.
I pass this along for what its worth. I sent a reply email asking what Customs tells the dinar dealers when the confiscate/impound their shipments (e.g., your paperwork is not in order?) but haven't heard back yet. I will post any response I get.

ISX TRADING SUSPENDED UNTIL 1/4/10

SNAPLINK'S OPINION:

IF we do not see the RV tomorrow this may just be the RV window. That would make a good window for the RV.
Yes I know they have done this for the past 2 years but it would still be the ideal time needed to reset stock values to be adjusted to the new RVed rate of the Iraqi Dinar. We may not see the RV until the ISX closes for this 2 week break. We will just have to see.


BUBBAJR'S OPINION:
1. I have never seen the ISX close for 2 weeks like this, since I have been in the Investment.
2. Why are they going to restart on a Monday?
3. Iraq is the only country that has a Stock Market that is running on a Sunday, No other country has there Stock Market running. This has been verified by a Stock Broker.

So here are my 2 cents:
IMO.... it is a possibility that the ISX is going to re-align there dates to the rest of the world in trading their stocks. If you have notice in the last few days that some of there stocks were taken off the boards for selling their stocks, because they did not produce the Final Accountancy for the ended year 31/12/08. This would be the time that they would need to get their report in to go back on line, and hopefully have the RV/RI with it.

US COMPANIES SHUT OUT AS IRAQ AUCTIONS OIL FIELDS

Those who claim that the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003 to get control of the country's giant oil reserves will be left scratching their heads by the results of last weekend's auction of Iraqi oil contracts: Not a single U.S. company secured a deal in the auction of contracts that will shape the Iraqi oil industry for the next couple of decades. Two of the most lucrative of the multi-billion-dollar oil contracts went to two countries which bitterly opposed the U.S. invasion - Russia and China - while even Total Oil of France, which led the charge to deny international approval for the war at the U.N. Security Council in 2003, won a bigger stake than the Americans in the most recent auction. "[The distribution of oil contracts] certainly answers the theory that the war was for the benefit of big U.S. oil interests," says Alex Munton, Middle East oil analyst for the energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie, whose clients include major U.S. companies. "That has not been demonstrated by what has happened this week." (Read "The Reasons Behind Big Oil Declining Iraq's Riches")

In one of the biggest auctions held anywhere in the 150-year history of the oil industry, executives from across the world flew into Baghdad on Dec. 11 for a two-day, red-carpet ceremony at the Oil Ministry, broadcast live in Iraq. With U.S. military helicopters hovering overhead to help ward off a possible insurgent attack, Oil Minister Hussein Al-Shahrastani unsealed envelopes from each company, stating how much oil it would produce, and what it was willing to accept in payment from Iraq's government. Rather than giving foreign oil companies control over Iraqi reserves, as the U.S. had hoped to do with the Oil Law it failed to get the Iraqi parliament to pass, the oil companies were awarded service contracts lasting 20 years for seven of the 10 oil fields on offer - the oil will remain the property of the Iraqi state, and the foreign companies will pump it for a fixed price per barrel.
Far from behaving like the war-ravaged, bankrupt country that it is, Iraq heavily weighted the contracts in its own favor, demanding a low per-barrel price and signing bonuses of up to $150 million. Only one U.S. company, Occidental Petroleum Corp., joined the bidding last weekend, and lost. (ExxonMobil had hoped to land the lucrative Rumaila field, but lost out to an alliance between the Chinese National Petroleum Company and BP because it declined the Iraqi government's $2-a-barrel fee.)

Russia's Lukoil, CNPC, and RoyalDutchShell accepted fees of between $1.15 and $1.40 for every barrel they produce - that's about 2% of Friday's oil futures price of $73 a barrel. "No one thinks it will be easy to make money on these contracts," says Samuel Ciszuk, Middle East energy analyst at IHS Global Insight, an economic forecasting company in London. "Companies have been willing to come in very, very low just to get their foot in the door in Iraq."
The lure is obvious: Iraq's 115 billion barrels of known oil reserves are outmatched only by Saudi Arabia, Canada and Iran, and geologists believe vast amounts more lie unexplored in the Western Desert. With 2.4 million barrels a day in production, the country was until this week up for grabs for foreign oil companies, in contrast to other big oil nations, where Big Oil is shut out: Iran is off limits because of sanctions, and Saudi Arabia's government controls its oil fields, as does Kuwait. (Watch a video about the gas shortage in Iraq.)

Still, there are daunting challenges: Iraq's lethal risks will require companies to spend millions on security. Political uncertainty continues, with the oil law governing the sharing of revenues remaining stalled and disputes over oil contracts raising the tension between Baghdad and the autonomous Kurdish enclave in the north. An election scheduled for next March could see a change of government in Iraq, and on Friday Iranian troops reportedly seized control of an oil field along a disputed section of border. Some analysts believe that Iran is deliberately attempting to shake the oil industry's confidence in Iraq, by reminding investors that several oil fields traverse disputed border areas with Iran. Iran - like other big oil producers - might also fear that a dramatic increase in Iraqi output could send world oil prices plummeting.

Clearly, there's no shortage of uncertainties facing investors in Iraqi oil. And then there are the problems of decrepit wells, aging pipelines, storage facilities, and export ports incapable of handling large volumes. Still, says Ciszuk: "Most oil people think it is better to be part of those challenges than not being part of it."

The auction represents an astonishing transformation for Iraq. In just a few months, it has become a major oil power with the potential to overtake the world's biggest producer, Saudi Arabia. In a previous bid round last June, Iraq handed control to the giant Rumaila field near Basra to Britain's BP, while ExxonMobil later took an 80% stake in another huge field, West Qurna Phase 1, and plan to eventually pump 2.5 million barrels a day. Now, Baghdad officials say they aim to harness the know-how and technology of their foreign partners to pump about 12 million barrels a day by 2017. "It is difficult for any major oil company not to be in Iraq," Total's global exploration and production chief Yves-Louis DarricarrÉre told TIME last month. Despite intense negotiations, the French company was outbid by an alliance of Shell and Malaysia's Petronas for Iraq's giant Majnoon field. Total CEO Christophe de Margerie told TIME last Sunday that he had put in a "fair bid," and that he doubted his competitors would make solid profits in Iraq, given the stiff terms.

That might have been the thinking of U.S. oil giants, which largely stayed away from last week's bidding, and which have failed to negotiate oil deals with Iraq's government outside of the public auction process. Iraqi officials say they are not awarding contracts based on political considerations, but simply a straight comparison of prices and production targets. "The bidding was extremely tough," said one official in Baghdad, in an email. "My guess is that [the U.S. companies] could not match the offers from others." In Iraq, at least, the victor has no special claim on the spoils of war.

MI$TER DINAR - KTF Missions

Iraq has one of the lowest inflation rates of any country in the world......Most every country that Iraq owed money to ... Has forgiven the debt .... Iraq just purchased fighter jets to start up Iraq air force again... Iraq has signed many, many oil contracts... That will bring Iraq a lot income....Iraq has done all the things...And many more things I cant even remember........With a currency that has a low exchange value and is basic worthless dinar............Seems Iraq is doing better than a lot of other countries ..... I am just having a hard time...thinking that iraq will revalue the dinar any time in the near future....Looks like as a country.... Iraq is doing very well with the dinar as it is.....

PACMAN POST - KTF Missions

I agree that Iraq has managed the introduction of the IQD into their economic infrastructure quite well. However, their ability to do so is a testimony of bigger and better things to come. The original plan was to restore Iraq, re-establish their sovereignty and to bring them to a place of greater prosperity than they had previous to the wars and their sanctions.

Though there are several countries that operate with extremely low valued currencies, this is the norm for them for various reasons. This is not the norm for Iraq, they are accustomed to having a strong currency and rest assured that the plan has taken this into consideration. The plan was not to take this away from them, but to, take advantage of the opportunity presented to help them develop this and to spread the wealth, so to speak.

I for one, do not endorse anyone or anything, but my own opinions, based on the extensive research that I haven taken upon myself to do. In my opinion, our next best "window of opportunity" will be in the middle of January.

If you take a look back at the history of the NID, you too will see, that the majority of strategic moves or developments concerning the NID have been made in mid January. I too like patterns, and notice that they have a way of repeating themselves.

I am going to use Sunday 1/17/2010 for an example. That would be precisely one year from the date that the CBI locked in to an exchange of 1170. Now this will leave an approx. 45 day window for exchange of large denoms until the scheduled elections on March 7th. This leaves little time for sabotage of their political platform and it gives the people sufficient time to understand the gift of buying power granted to them by their current PM.

This would also be almost 6 years to the date that the exchange of Saddam's currency ended. Being that they are not introducing a new currency, A 90 day window would be excessive and 45 days to exchange large denoms would be sufficient.

Now you ask, Why would they need to exchange large denoms? As I have explained previously, I do not believe that they are going to come out at a 3+ rate right from the gate. I would ask you, Where the logic in that is ,knowing that their are approx. 20 trillion IQD in circulation? That would allow a great deal of speculators to own a majority of your countries assets. It would make more sense to RV at a lower rate, like........I don't know...........maybe.......
$1.17 as the numbers given to us currently by the CBI indicate as a possibility. Refer to previous posts for detailed explanation please.

What do they have to gain from having resolution 1859 extended? Many, IMO. One being, If the funds of the DFI are released to them, where does that go and what kind of effect does that have on the value of their currency? They have an advantage now, the value of the IQD is not related to their GDP or there oil revenues and reserves. There are several determining factors when assessing a value to a countries currency.

GDP
NATURAL RESOURCES
RESERVES
STABILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT
SECURITY
EASE OF DOING BUSINESS
LOCATION and many more.

The current value is based on everything but their GDP and their NATURAL RESOURCES, why? because they are protected by resolution 1859, and they have very little access to their revenues. This was put into place to protect their natural resources from other countries seeking damages and restitution.

If the extension is granted, The current GOI can choose to RV at a lower rate and force speculators holding large denoms to cash in, within 45 days.

By doing this, they have honored their agreement made with the international community and made good on those invested in there reconstruction, while still under the protection umbrella of resolution 1859 to prevent their disgruntled neighbors from seeking further retribution.(like Iran claiming they want 1 trillion in damages...hahaha...not!) Then when all sanctions are released with CHAPTER 7, They can Reinstate their currency when they choose to, and rival the rates of their neighbors.
Which turns out to be a simple process also.

RV
1170 to 1.17 by eliminating 3 zeros then reversing..

RI
1.17 x 3 = 3.51 (inflation added to original rate)

This becomes an easy transition to all involved and because the CBI has already managed these numbers on a smaller scale, it will be much easier for them to manage and sustain in the future.

This also restores them, above and beyond what they were accustomed to before the war. This is what you call Victory for Iraq. And regardless of the outside interference, this is the ultimate goal for them.

This information is not being presented to encourage you to buy more Dinar.
If and when January 17th comes around to no avail, I too would have to admit that I was wrong and do not want to be held responsible for any financial decisions that you may make in the mean time.

This is a theory, based on my own opinions, limited intel and extensive research. If you apply a little logic to the most complicated things, there could be a simple solution.

One final thought, If M does this before the elections and then somehow leaks to the media that his opponents, if elected may take their new found wealth away, you can bet they will show up to cast their vote for him. Gotta ….LOVE………it!.

PARAGRAPH 4--THIS ADDRESSES THE ISSUE OF THOSE WHO COULD AND WOULD BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE GREATLY TO THE GROWTH OF THE NEW IRAQ. THEY CAN NOW FEEL SAFE TO RETURN WITH THEIR BUSINESS ACCUMEN AND EXPERIENCE TO HELP RE-STRUCTURE THE INFRA-STRUCTURE AND PRIVATE BUSINESS THAT WAS DENIED THEM UNDER THE FORMER REGEIM AND WOULD HELP TO ACTIVATE IMMEDIATELY THE PUBLIC CLIMATE

PARAGRAPH 7--THIS PARAGRAPH RE-STATES THE GOVERMENT'S COMMITMENT TO ECONOMIC REFORM AND WILL ACCEPT THE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC REFORM ON THE BASIS THAT THE GOVERMENT IS NOW ACCEPTING THE BURDEN OF ALL THAT TRANSPIRES IN IRAQ AS BEING PLACED DIRECTLY ON THE GOVERMENT'S SHOULDER'S. AND ALSO ACCEPTING THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NEARLY EVERY THING THAT IN THE FUTURE WILL GO ON IN IRAQ.

PARAGRAPH 8--HERE IS 1 OF THE MOST CRUCIAL AND IMPORTANT STATEMENT'S TO COME OUT OF THIS PRESS RELEASE---MALIKI STATED THAT THE 2ND ROUND OF OIL BID'S WILL GIVE IRAQ THE NECESSARY MEANS TO FINANCIALLY MEET ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE BUDGET CONTINGENCIES.

IRAQ OFFERS REWARD TO UNCOVER BOMB HIDEOUTS

http://www.alsumaria.tv/en/Iraq-News/1-41910-Iraq-offers-reward-to-uncover-bomb-hideouts.html

Thursday, December 17, 2009 08:29 GMT

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki offered a reward of 100 million Iraqi dinars to anyone who can help lead security forces to garages or other hideouts where extremists assemble car bombs.
Al Maliki stressed that terrorism targeting Iraq and Iraqis is aimed at thwarting the political process in the country.
Security strategies will be carried on, Al Maliki said in response to critics saying there are no security plans.
US withdrawal from Iraq is not bound to the security; he affirmed reiterating that developments on the ground will not affect the pre-determined deadline set by both US and Iraqi governments for troop pullout from the country.
Iraqi PM noted that Iraq is still an arena for political, military and foreign interference in the country.
Iraq’s evidence submitted to the UN on Syria’s involvement in bombings are clear-cut proof, Al Maliki said considering that Damascus denial is a natural policy.
Iraq is neither a shelter nor a crossing point to any terrorist organization while the presence of People Mujahideen of Iran in Iraq is temporary, Al Maliki stated.
"The elections will definitely take place on time whatever the terrorists do", he added.
Holding the vote would deal a "body blow" to insurgents seeking to thwart Iraq's political process, he said.

As for the one about yesterday... I read a post that said that the $3.47 was showing in the banks' databases but it wasn't released yet. They said that it would happen by this Monday. I don't know if you recall a few weeks back that my brother had a bank guy call him saying that he was seeing the new rate online but we couldn't find it... A couple of days later we saw it in fx and others..

WHEN THE TREASURY RELEASES A RATE FOR PUBLIC VIEW IT MEANS THAT IT HAS BEEN RELEASED TO THE BANKS FOR EXCHANGE. ALL SO FAR THAT HAS HAPPENED IS CONJECTURE. IF YOU SEE A SITE WITH A RATE IT IS NOT TRUE. FROM WHAT I GOT FROM CB CORPORATE IS THAT THE GOI IS HOLDING THIS SUCH A SECRET, NOT ONE CENTRAL BANK KNOWS WHAT THE RATE IS AND CERTAINLY NO DINAR WEBSITE. AGAIN, I CAN TELL YOU WITH ALL MORAL CERTAINTY THAT THE RATE IS NOT $3.47. I AM GUESSING AND THIS IS A GUESS, THAT IT WILL BE CLOSE TO THE EURO WHICH I WILL TAKE IN A HEARTBEAT

MALIKI WILL BEGIN A TWO-DAY VISIT TO EGYPT TOMORROW

Iraq not in favor of tense relations with Syria -- Al-Maliki
19 December 2009

CAIRO -- Iraq does nor favor tense relations with Syria, and seeks to end all disputes with Arab countries, said Iraqi Premier Nouri Al-Maliki on Saturday.

Al-Maliki, who will begin a two-day visit to Egypt tomorrow, said in an interview with the local "Al-Ahram" newspaper that Iraq welcomed any effort on the part of Egypt or the Arab League to end these disputes
However, he said that "the Syrian regime must take a clear stand on the killing of Iraqi people." Asked about the situation in Iraq prior to the elections, set for March 7, he said that it was "must better after the elimination of the hideous face of sectarianism and its replacement with patriotism." The recent attacks in Iraq "were carried out by elements that do not believe in the political process," he added, while noting that there were security breaches "like those that occur all over the world." These breaches, he said, must be dealt with through the law, and he rejected any Iranian intervention in Iraq's internal affairs.

Al-Maliki said that Iraq was seeking full control of its borders with Iran and its other neighbors to prevent the smuggling of weapons into the country, adding that Iraq wanted its relations with Saudi "to be at their best." Moreover, he said that US withdrawal from Iraq would take place as scheduled, in line with the security agreement signed between the two sides, adding that "Iraq is ready to fill in any security void." As for the recent contracts for the development of Iraqi oil fields to increase their production capacity by more than 12 million barrels per day, Al-Maliki said that these were "transparent" and reflected the government's keenness for the country's best interests.

When asked whether he would be running for the premiership post again, he said he would not "unless the Iraqi people asked me to." On his visit to Egypt, scheduled for tomorrow, he hoped that it would mark the beginning of a new phase in Egyptian-Iraqi relations "that overcomes the tension that rose during the reign of the former regime, and develops (the relationship) on a more solid basis." Al-Maliki said that he would be discussing with President Hosni Mubarak issues relations to boosting bilateral relations through investments and more activity of Egyptian companies in Iraq. He also said that several agreements would be signed with Egyptian Premier Ahmad Nazif.

IRAQI PM IN SPECIAL INTERVIEW WITH ALSUMARIA

This sure does seem like he is talking like he is NOT running for re-election...

Saturday, December 19, 2009 08:52 GMT

In a special interview with Alsumaria, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki elaborated most of the internal issues currently on the table in Iraq including security, relations with neighboring countries and upcoming legislative elections.
After ascertaining security in Iraqi provinces, application is shifted on enhancing Iraqi intelligence, Al Maliki stated.
Prime Minister Al Maliki called on Iraqi people and politicians to safeguard the political process and refuse the return of dictatorship through elections.
Baath Party was not included in national reconciliation, Al Maliki told Alsumaria.
He hoped the next Prime Minister would engage all political components in power and would be the one directly responsible for ministers’ work, thus not leaving this role for political parties as it is presently.
Iraqi Prime Minister considered on the other hand that services in Iraq are still insufficient though he hailed progress achieved on the level of foreign investments.
Al Maliki stressed that security stability in the country encourages investments.
He emphasized as well that Iraq’s Constitution needs revision mainly regarding apportionment that fuels sectarianism.

INVEST YOUR IRAQI DINAR FOR LIFELONG INCOME

December 2, 2009 by admin

If you have invested in the currency of Iraq, have you made any decisions of how you will handle the money once the RV comes?

It is interesting how many lottery winners quickly burn through their money! The old adage is surely true, “if they took away everyone’s money, the same people would end up with it again”. That is because people who have had money, or were born into families that had a lot of money (old money), have been taught how to invest and make their money work for them.

If you are like most Americans, you have barely been instructed on how to balance your check book. In fact, recently I had a young girl tell me that most people don’t do that any more. They just look at their balance online an keep a ball park figure in their head. That method will work if you just want to run through your money like a professional athlete (new money), or someone who just found out that their rich uncle left them a fortune.

Richard Kiyosaki is on a crusade to help folks become wiser about money. That has been my quest as well. If you want to find out more I would suggest you get a copy of his new book, “Conspiracy of the Rich”. In it Kiyosaki uncovers the plan by the monarchs and wealthy families of the world to keep regular folks in the dark when it comes to money.

The cold hard facts are that you are going to HAVE to learn how to invest your own funds if you want to get your money working for you. There are many ways to do that online. We actually have at our fingertips more information that ever before. Yet, most people find money a dry and boring subject. If that is you, get Kiyosaki’s book ASAP! It may give you the fire you need to get motivated to do something about your finances, and keep the Conspiracy out of your pocket.
