9-30-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...monetary policy is never a random act...The promise of instant fortune! I assure you there will never be an overnight RV or RI. When the CBI begins to raise the value via float it'll be a tool used by the CBI the counter inflationary pressure. The good news is it will go up in value it just won't happen overnight.
9-29-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Right now we know the CBI is slowly, through a process, moving towards more and more use of the lower category notes. We see it in the news. The fact that they are now experiencing a severe shortage in the small categories tells us this process is working. Will the CBI be pumping other, newer smaller category notes in the coming weeks? I fully believe this is not what they are taking about in all these recent articles. They are not yet ready for this next step... We know that electronic banking, Point of Sale (POS), ATMs and other reforms have given them this capability now to utilize these small category notes. They have turned a milestone in the process and so now it is a matter of time until they launch even lower, lower denominations, eventually getting off the older 3 zero notes all together.
9-29-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The Iraqi Banking/Finance Conference 2018 has been pushed off to Nov 4-5. Interesting. Iraq is notorious for being late on agreements. Far back as I can remember they were always six months or more delinquent on accomplishing what they had agreed to. Delaying the investment conference is in the best interest of Iraq because at this time because they are not ready...they have not form the government, passed the delinquent laws or held their Article IV Consultation with the IMF.
9-29-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article quote: "Informed sources said that the political blocs agreed that Adel Abdul Mahdi will be prime minister and that the current Prime Minister Haider Abadi will serve as Vice President of the Republic" ...this could all change again and until they officially announce the nominee for PM, the fat lady has not yet sung. This is just a news article and not official.
9-29-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling …There’s no way around it. Sooner or later they are going to have to add value to their currency. They stated it. They want to do it. They told everybody what the value is. They said they wanted to get back to $1.17 and then after that they want to get to get back to $3.25. I don’t know if they’ll get exactly back to $3.25 but I know what their plan is…nothing has changed…the drama in the middle east has not changed that. [Post 2 of 2]
9-29-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling Let’s say the dinar never revalues… (It would have to be some weird circumstance where it wouldn’t revalue.) If it doesn’t revalue it doesn’t mean you and I are wrong. We’re right. We’re watching everything you see. Think about this. You watch a football game, right? It has 4 quarters, 2 teams and there’s two minutes left on the scoreboard. One team has 49 points and the other team has 0. You kind of know what’s going to happen…there’s no way the other team is going to score 49 points in two minutes. It’s the same thing with Iraq…everything is set in place for them to do international business with their currency…. [Post 1 of 2 Stay tuned for the rest of the story]

9-29-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat BANNING THE USE 3 ZERO NOTES? I “firmly” do NOT believe...they will stop taking these 3 zero notes (5,000, 10,000, 25,000 and 50,000) and will set a deadline for turning them in. This will NEVER occur since the CBI told these 3 zero notes will “coincide” with the smaller category notes for up to 10 years (or longer if needed). The goal of the CBI is simply to slowly let the economy drive the process and put the dependency on the use of smaller category notes and gradually introduce yet even smaller notes. But I will tell you there will come a point when they will have to reinstate the currency to the international global currency exchanges and trade the currency. This is mainly what we wait for. This is when we go to the banks. When this happens the rate will rise and the CBI will be forced to launch the other even small category notes. So what do you watch for next? ...I am watching for the launching of the 100 dinar note next.
