He needed to do the calculations to get to a rate that will be stable and steady with a strong interest rate, thus, traders can carry the currency trade...Now lets watch the Proxies go by the way side to usher in the fully seated Ministers and the new Fully seated currency rate Alak has for us at the same time or just after the Ministers sit. The GOI institutes the CBI, yet the CBI is independent. So once Ministers are seated then Alak can talk!!..imo. Sure looks exciting imo... [post 2 of 2]

6-23-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [I came to the conclusion that the tax code is just not clear about this RV situation. ...That's why some CPAs believe it will be Cap Gains, and others are just as sure it's Ordinary Income.] I do still agree with that, and there's only one way that's going to change - if/when the IRS gets around to clarifying it, as it relates specifically to the Dinar/this situation. Unfortunately, they can clarify it pretty quickly... certainly in the same tax year as the RV is announced, and I'm betting it won't be in our favor. If at all possible, I would love to claim Cap gains. The unfortunate reality is that we may not have that option, especially after the rules are changed retroactively on us. I am hoping for the best but prepared and protected against the worst in regards to taxation. [check with your tax professional at the appropriate time]
