9-26-2019 Newshound Guru Bloodloch ...As far as how I still believe it will happen, some are right on the money. The slow climb of 1090 to 1 up to 1 to 1 isn't likely to occur since speculators will exert buying pressure and the secondary market would get overheated very quickly. Yet, to say that 40 trillion in IQD is suddenly worth 40 trillion USD on the foreign (or domestic) exchange can't happen either. Even the US only possesses about a 3.3 trillion USD money supply (M0) of late. The truth, I believe, will be a happy medium between the extremes of an overnight revaluation on the one hand, and a long-term crawl on the other, to find its true, happy equilibrium.
9-26-2019 Newshound Guru Jeff ...they turned around yesterday and told you that starting in February they're gonna put these financial steps and measures in place that helps reduce the funding and financing for terrorism and money laundering. They're doing it in February...that tells me they're setting the stage most likely for March because they're putting these types of steps and measures in place in February. So what I'm suggesting to you is forget about January and February for the rate change. Move your eyes after February...
9-26-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...there are at least 10 articles in the last 2 years that say that the CBI needs to float the currency...whether you believe it or not they will float the currency because that is the tool that they need if they want investment in the country. If they don't want any outside investment they don't need to float. But they expect a ...billion dollars over the next 12 to 16 months to come into Iraq that will cause inflationary pressure on their financial system...there is no ifs ands or buts about it. If that money comes in they will have significant inflationary pressure and the tool for that is to float.
9-26-2019 Intel Guru Eagleone2025 [via PDK] THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TROUBLE IN BRINGING THIS TOGETHER. …BEEN ON THE PHONE WITH SEVERAL SOURCES. WE KNOW THAT WE ARE VERY CLOSE.

[Any news from Iraq?] My last update was Tuesday night...as of then there was no new rate. [Iraq IXE supposed joining in the NASDEq on Oct 1st. Heard they have to be 1/1 at least 1 to 1 or higher rate before they can be on International Stock Exchange. What do you think?] and they have to be in Article 8. I am the most excited I have been in a long time… 9-26-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat A “lop” is a technical term not slang. It is a IMF currency manipulation tool they use in times of hyper-inflation. ...Iraq is controlling their inflation and keeping it at bay to + or – 2%. If they were not doing this none of this second phase of the process to delete the zeros would even be taking place in the first place. ...They must maintain the MCP to this 2% criteria in order to move forward and operate under Article 8 of the IMF UN Charter for member nations. Iraq is a member. So again how anyone can call this a “lop” I don’t know. It does not even come close to the use of the IMF term... 9-26-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 Breaking news IMO...The White House of the United States of America put this out [video with Trump and the president of Iraq]...The White House wants us to know, American citizens and the whole world to know the White House is finally talking about Iraq and this timing is perfect...I believe the White House wants everyone to know where we're at with Iraq...timing is everything...it's week number 4 in September...
