9-20-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana There are some rumblingsssss right now! This recent development with China may be “more than meets the eye”, and I’m hearing some encouraging things about the oil law...I don’t want to get too giddy right now, but we might have a heck of a week coming up.
9-19-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 ...now it [The Iraqi dinar] is being primed and it looks like the CBI is telling us they're ready to introduce new smaller category notes and fils which can only be done if they lift the three zeros from their exchange rate. They've done a pretty good job of lifting the three zeros from the street. Those are the two areas they are being lifted...they just said a few days ago, 'we have so much to back up our currency that it's way beyond International standards.'...that's really good.
9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...There is no reinstatement of the dinar until the CBI writes the letter and the IMF accepts the letter for Article VIII. It's no secret when that happens we will all know. Even if it happens that has nothing to do with the exchange rate.
9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling ...Iraq and these countries do not put out their money supply. They do not tell people exactly what their money supply is. But they did a couple of years ago by mistake. They said they were at 4 billion notes...according to this guru there's...80 Trillion dinar out there which is equal to 80 billion dollars or something like that...that's not true...they're reading a report that tells everybody what their country is worth. It's NOT their money supply. Here's the difference. What's your house worth? What's your car worth? What's your property worth? That's one report. Another report would be how much do you have in your pocket? How much Cash do you have? That's what I'm talking about. For some reason people aren't getting this...when I got into this investment they had about 12 billion notes...

9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [via Zig] ...there have been many discussions about a float over the years from the CBI, and economic experts in Iraq. Many of them positive...A year or so ago when somebody asked the CBI about floating the currency their response was that they weren't going to float AT THIS TIME and it was taken out of context as if they were saying no float ever...the truth is they were not ready to float at that time and proper translation of the article was necessary because all countries float eventually especially Emerging Markets. And there have been many examples of countries moving from fixed to float over the last few years. Even several in the Middle East"...
9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Jeff ...they've purposely delayed the formation of the government because it's literally the linchpin. It's the last thing we're going to see right before the rate change...the reason why the rate change will not occur this week is...Iraq has to achieve stability before the powers-that-be will allow Iraq to change the rate. This week they're having massive meetings between Kurdistan and Baghdad. They have to reach agreements on every level to achieve stability...I personally feel Mahdi has to be in country when the rate changes...this is a once-in-a-lifetime historic event. When it happens logic tells me Mahdi would want to be inside the country when the rate does change...he wants to be part of this historic event...Mahdi is gonna be in china on Thursday to Sunday...I still have the remainder of September on my radar.

Morning. [THERE WAS A BANK THAT IN TEXAS THAT EXCHANGED THE DINAR AT $3.91 ON TUESDAY] They appeared to have jumped the gun...but if banks are doing currency swaps...you know they believe we are really close...
9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...They will never introduce any smaller categories until the currency has begun to appreciate to a point where they would be needed and it would be seamless without fanfare.
9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...China has the ability to dump loads of money into Iraq's infrastructure, taking significant weight off of the Iraqis in that regard, which would free up Iraq's resources (time/people/government/etc) to focus on their actual bread and butter. China won't be doing this for free... in fact, I can foresee Iraq becoming so indebted to China over this that they are forced to raise the value of their currency just to cover the debt that they will willingly incur from China in order to fast-track their future. Iraq then officially enters the currency manipulation game, just to keep up with China, and that just tickles me pink! Who wins if this happens? Everyone. China wins. Iraq wins. We win. This is a clear path to Iraq becoming even stronger, with a stronger currency, and the rest is sort of irrelevant. Pretty neat stuff.

[THERE WAS A BANK THAT IN TEXAS THAT EXCHANGED THE DINAR AT $3.91 ON TUESDAY] They appeared to have jumped the gun...but if banks are doing currency swaps...you know they believe we are really close...
9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...They will never introduce any smaller categories until the currency has begun to appreciate to a point where they would be needed and it would be seamless without fanfare.
9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...China has the ability to dump loads of money into Iraq's infrastructure, taking significant weight off of the Iraqis in that regard, which would free up Iraq's resources (time/people/government/etc) to focus on their actual bread and butter. China won't be doing this for free... in fact, I can foresee Iraq becoming so indebted to China over this that they are forced to raise the value of their currency just to cover the debt that they will willingly incur from China in order to fast-track their future. Iraq then officially enters the currency manipulation game, just to keep up with China, and that just tickles me pink! Who wins if this happens? Everyone. China wins. Iraq wins. We win. This is a clear path to Iraq becoming even stronger, with a stronger currency, and the rest is sort of irrelevant. Pretty neat stuff.
9-18-2019 Newshound Guru Jeff ...let's set our emotions aside for a second...they've been setting the stage for this...keep in mind there is no "Dinar For Dummies" manual. We don't have a book or guide that tells us every step Iraq has to do before the rate can change...So we have to look at what they do and what they say. Look at their actions to piece things together and then you have to make some opinion with that...their actions suggest there's not much more they can do before they change the rate...Iraq has to achieve stability before the power that be will elect Iraq to change the rate...the news articles are strongly suggesting and telling us that they're in forward progress to reach stability...the news looks very good...
