I’m explaining this because although I won’t say “I think we’re going to see an RV within XX days”… I AM getting a really strong vibe right now. The timing is getting close, and the opportunity here is real. Stay positive, friends. We may not have as long a wait as some think.
5-22-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] We did get some information today that points us toward toll-free number from a very high source coming out quite possibly before lunch tomorrow [Wednesday].

5-21-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ No NDA yet...I am getting leaned on to be very quiet…a number of intel providers are also being leaned on and they have gone quiet. ...I will continue to give you what I believe is safe to share.

[are you still looking to possibly sign your NDA TODAY?] yes I still think today is very much in play for that today through Thursday...Not a whole lot of movement overnight...we still seem to be stuck on “go”...but, I am not getting any negative news...My contacts at the Redemption Centers are on “stand-by“ and ready . They firmly believe they will be exchanging folks this week. On or before Thursday is what they have been told. I really hope they are right.
5-21-2019 Intel/Newshound Guru tman23 The only possible time Iraq can lift the zeros is start of July (or 2 weeks prior) or start of the New Year (or 2 weeks prior)... July starts the second half of the fiscal year, it was the central bank who said lifting the 3 zeros must be at the start of the New Year and not in the middle of a quarter. But several times they did pass it off till June in delaying the first of the year. NOT rocket science since banks books are adjusted accordingly to these time periods... 4 months and the CBI will have a new governor.
5-21-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat There is no mention of a scheduled timeframe for voting on the current list of candidates for the last of the four ministers. Coalitions must agree on the candidates of the four ministries vacant, before the beginning of next month June, to avoid constitutional vacuum and legal breach. This is still almost two weeks from now. As usual they will probably play this game right up until the last moment.

5-20-2019 Intel/Newshound Guru tman23 Surely every IQD holder knew the Shia militias were a problem and that means IRAN...Last post I made was that on May 6th there was to be a huge transfer of funds paid to US by China. Then out of left field China backed out and change the terms as news reported. ...follow that up with 700 rocket attacks on Israel in one night followed by intelligence of the Iranian threat to US assets. For those that follow the future of China and 'Silk Road" you know of the potential role Iraq plays.
5-20-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat What does Sadr mean when he says “to give the people back their wealth”? What he means is this. Supposed someone had 2 million dinars before Oct 2003 worth a rate $3+ per dinar (when they decided to convert to the new large 3 zero notes). That was over 6 million US dollars. This 2 million them became almost worthless overnight as the value decreased to about $2,000 US dollars. So, what Sadr is saying is that the people need to regain the value they lost and get back at least their 6 million dollars. Get it? Sadr is not speaking so general as most think. He is very specific in his thinking on this topic... [post 2 of 2]
5-20-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...Moqtada al-Sadr spoke in parliament and stated that he wanted the promised reforms and the “wealth of Iraq given back to the nation”.

There is no reason for this process not to take place other than the corruption going on with the currency auctions and now maybe the Iran fiasco. ...To coincide with Sadr’s efforts we need to watch what the CBI does.

5-20-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 The assets of Iraq are incredible...gold, diamonds, oil, food...they've got it. What's interesting is they, IMO, are in international waters.
5-20-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [any news on rates?] No news...I can tell you what I believe they may be...what I was told and believe to be accurate... IMO...IQD street rate in the $4’s...Dong $2- $2.25... [So is it time to transfer my TO DO after RV LIST from the stone tablet I first wrote it on to paper?!] LOL yes…according to my friends Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble...its time...we are really close….imo [post 2 of 2]
5-20-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [via PDK] I am expecting a very fluid day today...I’m looking for a lot of movement all throughout today... It’s going to be a very busy week guys...a lot is happening... I have been told there are some things I cannot talk about for security reasons. [Any more NDA’s?] Yes...More people now are under NDA's ... My contact in Switzerland went under an NDA on Thursday evening...I am not under one yet guys...I hope to be under an NDA by tomorrow morning... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
5-20-2019 Intel/Newshound Guru tman23 Surely every IQD holder knew the Shia militias were a problem and that means IRAN...Last post I made was that on May 6th there was to be a huge transfer of funds paid to US by China. Then out of left field China backed out and change the terms as news reported. ...follow that up with 700 rocket attacks on Israel in one night followed by intelligence of the Iranian threat to US assets. For those that follow the future of China and 'Silk Road" you know of the potential role Iraq plays.
5-20-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat What does Sadr mean when he says “to give the people back their wealth”? What he means is this. Supposed someone had 2 million dinars before Oct 2003 worth a rate $3+ per dinar (when they decided to convert to the new large 3 zero notes). That was over 6 million US dollars. This 2 million them became almost worthless overnight as the value decreased to about $2,000 US dollars. So, what Sadr is saying is that the people need to regain the value they lost and get back at least their 6 million dollars. Get it? Sadr is not speaking so general as most think. He is very specific in his thinking on this topic... [post 2 of 2]

5-18-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Another thing to think about is that Alak is the Vice President now of the AMF and will get the seat as President in the next Session. Are we to think he got all his awards, has his name on the new money and gets the nod for highest position at the AMF, second possibly to the IMF with out lifting the value of the IQD? No, He is not going to bring a program rate to drag the other countries down. He will bring value and expertise to the regional trading partners. Lets not forget the amount the AMF exchanges at... It is not a program rate I assure you all imo! ...I agree with [Gurus] Frank(26) and Delta and many others, they are telling us darn near every step they have made. Just not point as point blank and cut and dry as many may want.. But they are.. No delay, just finishing up final touches. imo. [post 2 of 2]

5-17-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ I have gotten no news from Iraq yet today. ...We are at an elevated level of alert today... A couple of, what I call, the “4 horseman” have been moved into position. I cannot share who they are until after the fact. Many others were moved into position to exchange on Monday morning. Some of the folks I know...that I had spent a lot of time with did their NDAs late last night, so I am getting pretty excited...One of my whale contacts is now under an NDA. ...Being under an NDA means they cannot give out any details …they are involved in currency stuff but that is all I can say.

5-17-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [Mark, can they RV the IQD with all that instability there now? (Pulling US dependents out of Iraq, etc.)] I believe they could still RV and this would allow stability imo…Part of Basel 3 and Basel 3 Banking rules is to remove the politics from the finances. So it would be a major test if they go even with all the instability over there. Many economists believe that region will be much more stable with a stable money.
5-17-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] So, here (is) where we are. I told you to keep an eye on things for the next couple of days on Tuesday...We had a couple of false starts where we really thought we were there even yesterday[Wednesday] ...people in the banking industry were trying to profit illegally on one of the currencies...it was officially taken care of today [Thursday]. We are in the clear as far as I know now. ...I am just going to say things are finally ready for this to be released. ...I know I am jacked up tonight [Thursday]...it could come in the morning...before lunchtime. That is the most recent concept we have for it. ...I am ready. I am ready to get started just like you guys are. ...We know the Dong is over $5.00. We know the Dinar is over $8.00...

5-16-2019 *** Dinar Guru Newsflash *** Major media is reporting "The U.S. State Department has ordered non-emergency employees to leave Iraq amid Iran tensions." Things appear to be escalating quickly in the Middle East. The U.S. has sent an aircraft carrier and bomber planes to the region. Iran is suspected of attacking tankers and other "assets". The U.S. has requested Iraq remove Iranian backed militias from within Iraq...as of yet Iraq has not done so. Hopefully this is a catalyst for peaceful negotiations and the end of logjams...stay tuned as the gurus chime in on the news. The latest guru post will continue below...

5-15-2019 Newshound Guru ChrisC This may be a ridiculous thought, but what if the Fleet is not there because of a particular threat on US assets, but to make sure there is no "boat rocking" during an RI/RV since it will be such an important event that may so drastically affect the future and security of the rest of the world?...Just thinking, because if I was Iran and I knew there were B52 bombers and subs with Tomahawk missiles just waiting to see how big of a hole they could make in something, I would not want to provoke that event. This was a costly event to do based off of "intel" and not response to any action. How long are we going to sit there? Just some thoughts.
5-15-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "CENTRAL BANK OF IRAN WILL LAUNCH ITS NEWLY-DEVISED INTEGRATED FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET NEXT WEEK" ...this “unified currency market” is of course a tactic from Iran in order to circumvent the US sanctions.

5-15-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Oil is still strong above $60. Remember I said months ago that $60 was the target? Target reached, stability is being proven on a daily basis, and that is perfect. Any huge spikes or drops would be bad. OIL is solid right now... even with some tensions in the Middle East. This is exactly what we want...It's definitely Ramadan, but I'm still keeping an eye on things. The current situation is just too close to ignore the possibility that things can happen this year despite the normal holiday lull.
5-15-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] So, we are very close. Conference calls have been going on continually...This is with the serious decision makers. This was done as the final, I think, opportunity to work out what needed to happen prior to the release. ...I am very excited about that and what transpired today. I think we are in a really good place to finally have this resolved for us. When it comes to rates, I have been asked not to go into rates. So, I do not want to do that. However, I will say that certain currencies have been trading and have been trading up which will be very favorable for us.

As I believe even the Rafidain is going to as well open branches in varying countries in the region. We haven’t seen anything to suggest that it is still not the game plan thus far...I am very bullish for this window being mid May...In my opinion, the MR has been on steroids and we are seeing it.

Many of these buildings from 2008 are not completed and occupied already. Many more are being constructed. Kurdistan is not some backward area in the desert. It is a civilized sector of Iraq that is moving ahead into this new century of modernization very quickly. How can they continue with a currency worth just an 8th of a penny? [post 2 of 2]

Two of these major imports are electricity and refined oil products. OIL: In the coming years Iraq has plans to be gas and oil (refined gasoline and diesel fuel) independent from Iran and other suppliers. The oil ministers says Iraq is trying to break away from the dependence on Iran for the supply of these items... ELECTRICITY: We know that the German firm, Siemens and the American firm, General Electric both have major contracts with Iraq to bring up the war torn electric grid...

They significantly increased the financial coverage and it is still growing. They have been successful in getting the citizens into the banks with large sums of chunky money. ...once they collect the chunky, they will need to issue the smalls. Hence the ATMs will need them, as will vendors of money (greenery?), shops, barbers, restaurants, etc...Don't forget they say this started about a year ago imo, more than that!!

Many of these buildings from 2008 are not completed and occupied already. Many more are being constructed. Kurdistan is not some backward area in the desert. It is a civilized sector of Iraq that is moving ahead into this new century of modernization very quickly. How can they continue with a currency worth just an 8th of a penny? [post 2 of 2]
5-14-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "IRAQ'S OIL MINISTER DISCUSSES PLANS TO STRENGTHEN ITS OIL INDUSTRY, DIVERSIFY ITS ECONOMY AND ATTRACT FOREIGN INVESTORS" We know that 80% of Iraq’s economy is dependent on imports from Iran. Two of these major imports are electricity and refined oil products. OIL: In the coming years Iraq has plans to be gas and oil (refined gasoline and diesel fuel) independent from Iran and other suppliers. The oil ministers says Iraq is trying to break away from the dependence on Iran for the supply of these items... ELECTRICITY: We know that the German firm, Siemens and the American firm, General Electric both have major contracts with Iraq to bring up the war torn electric grid... AGRICULTURE: We also know that Iraq is working hard at being independent on agricultural products... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

They significantly increased the financial coverage and it is still growing. They have been successful in getting the citizens into the banks with large sums of chunky money. ...once they collect the chunky, they will need to issue the smalls. Hence the ATMs will need them, as will vendors of money (greenery?), shops, barbers, restaurants, etc...Don't forget they say this started about a year ago imo, more than that!!

There really has been some fantastic news...a lot of it I cannot share...I know how frustrating it is to hear that… We do have news out of Iraq...hearing the new rate has gone live or is about to go live...My people on the ground there expect a rate of $3.63 in Iraq by tomorrow morning ...this from some good sources over there--- contractors...and this rate came from a contractor publication in Iraq...This is the rate they will be paying their employees... This to me is pretty exciting... I would not share any rates that have not already been published…I am simply telling you what a person there saw in print. This may also be the street rate in Iraq that may release tomorrow as well...
5-10-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Ramadan is officially under way, and for once in this wild ride... I'm very pleased to see how things are moving. OF COURSE there are going to be snippets about things being pushed back to outside of Ramadan, but we're not even a week in and we are already seeing a difference. Not only are Parliament meetings continuing as of tomorrow (Saturday), but we're finally talking about OIL! OIL has been missing from the news over the last couple months, and I was expecting it to resurface shortly. It is unusual, but not surprising, to see it popping up now. I say it's not surprising because even though it's Ramadan, the timing is right. This time around, they may just surprise us.
5-10-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni They can float anytime. Moving to Article VIII only means the CBI and its banking system meets a level of compliance equal to the rest of worlds banking system. Thus should make the dinar more acceptable worldwide. Investment laws need to be passed still. In order for the investment community to put money in Iraq to rebuild they need laws, stability and validation from the IMF. When investors to come it will create pressure on the banking system allowing the currency to raise in value. So the bottom line is ...until they have a private sector (laws), and move to Article VIII to open the banking system, investors will not come and with no investment the dinar will stay where it is.

No, there are still approvals and the will of the CBI and the Finance Committee to approve it and go ahead. There are no signs they intend to do this now. But at least now we know we are getting closer and there are possibilities.

They do not want those out there, but I can tell you if you remember the last time when we talked about the Dinar is higher than it was then. Iraq should put out tomorrow this final disclosure in the Gazette of whatever they are doing with their Parliament, and quite possibly their new rate on the Iraqi Dinar.

5-8-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 ...So they don't show up... So Trump says ok we're jacking you up from 10% to 25% on your tarriffs by this coming Friday. So China says ok we'll be there. The next thing we know Pompeo shows up in Iraq...he says we're getting some things done...China's almost done. There's a combination of China, the USA, Iraq and Iran...that is going to open a lock to the Re-Instatement of the Iraqi dinar. [post 2 of 2]
5-8-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 IMO, I believe the President of the U.S. is in control of the whole RI of the Iraqi dinar & his dealings with China because they're digging up Iraq...not just with China but with others that are working with Donald Trump. So he tells China get your financial negotiator here...we have got to do some things and finalize it with you regarding Iraq ...because I have business to do with Iraq and you're postponing it. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
5-8-2019 Intel Guru Bruce We have certain countries like Japan, like the United States, and a few other countries that are already Basel 4 compliant. The countries that are Basel 3 compliant are good to go for the exchanges. If a country is not Basel 3 compliant is a go around. It is a work around, go around until they are. So, everything is really moving along really excellently this time. I am ready for this to start and go just as everybody else...Have everything ready to go because this is finally looking like it is our time. [post 2 of 2]
5-8-2019 Intel Guru Bruce What is really interesting a lot has been happening, but we have been in a slow and soft roll out of this RV GCR. ...What also happened yesterday is we had brand new live rates of the currencies on the screens... Now I have heard of a few rates. I cannot give rates this time. They do not want those out there, but I can tell you if you remember the last time when we talked about the Dinar is higher than it was then. Iraq should put out tomorrow this final disclosure in the Gazette of whatever they are doing with their Parliament, and quite possibly their new rate on the Iraqi Dinar. Least that is supposed to happen on Wednesday which is their day to publish their official Gazette, their official record. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
5-7-2019 Intel Guru AdminBill ...Still looking for good things in the near future.
5-7-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ If I was just a currency holder I wouldn’t look for action until tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be a big day…imo. [Are rates locked in?] I am told they are absolutely locked in and set. I do not know what the final rates are and I have been told not to talk about rates anymore. My CBI contact is very exceptionally frustrated…they expected a release the Thursday before last…then IMF wanted more documentation …they got that done…and have been ready all week waiting for the IMF to release...They say it’s still an “anytime now” scenario...the news has been exceptionally good…I am feeling very good about where we are today.
5-7-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn [i thought Mahdi has had pressure put on him before june] I'm not sure about June but it will happen...they have a lot to do and I just don't see June is having enough time to get it done. I believe this will happen, otherwise I wouldn't be here...this will happen its just a process, it will come.
5-7-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 [via Clare] IT'S ABOUT TO GET REAL...FAST!...

5-6-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ There is a lot of crazy news right now…some believable, and some unbelievable... We were told it would get crazy before it popped…it certainly is crazy today...its been a day of calls and texts...
5-6-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article quote: "... the UNIFICATION OF THE DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO ELIMINATE THE AUCTION CURRENCY." Okay so you hear this from a minister in parliament telling us that part of the solution to the economic crisis is to get rid of the corruption associated with the currency auctions and the only way to do this is to get STOP the currency auctions. Look at how much money they told us is being stolen out of the CBI reserves due to this corruption. They say 15-20 million US dollars a day...5 billion US dollars a year being stolen from the CBI. No wonder why the CBI can not increase it reserves faster with all this oil wealth coming in as revenue. ...as long as the spigot of oil is flowing and the money is rolling in, they will not challenge this theft. The hard part is that the oil will not be flowing forever and so this time of great wealth is the time to sow the seeds of prosperity and build their nation.
5-6-2019 Intel Guru Eagleone2025 WE KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF MOVEMENT. WE ARE WAITING ON A GREEN LIGHT...LIKE MARK [Guru MarkZ] HAS SAID...A LOT IS HAPPENING. WINDOW HAS OPENED… MAY DAY 1 MAY 1-7 …ALOT OF MOVEMENT THE PERIOD WILL KEEP OPEN.
5-6-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ ...There appeared to be a 24 hour stall yesterday and we are hoping everything will resume moving today... [Hannity just said Trump is going to have a big day today. Announcement?] Possibly...there is a whole lot going on today...
5-6-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Personally, I think it’s going to be a long wait till January 2020 ...All the signs are showing us this is now going to be the case. Certainly things could always change on a dime but right now no evidence of that. I know the news from Iraq has been very quiet, but I assure you Mutada Al-Sadr and others are hard at work to turn it all around. ...We do know that Mahdi has until June to complete his government for face a possible “no confidence” vote. Will this happen?
5-6-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn Article: "The Central Bank betray Iraq daily through the auction of corrupt currency" this is why they need to revalue and get off the Auctions... (it's) too easy for corruption. [Maybe this will push them to do it...] I think there is a lot of things they need to get done before that happens which I haven't seen them to yet...they haven't even formed their government yet besides passing the laws needed. [they wont do nothing much now with Ramadan going on.] I don't think even if they wanted to would this happen that fast for Ramadan...its just another holiday for them. We will be here way after that holiday is over...

5-5-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 [via No Static] ...Ray reported on a phone call he received this morning. According to his source, something “really big” has happened in Kurdistan. Ray wouldn’t disclose the subject matter but...and that this could affect where we’ll find ourselves this Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday...
5-5-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 PM Mahdi has returned to Baghdad from his European trip. [Reminder: Last Wednesday Iraqi TV was broadcasting that the cabinet selections will be concluded upon Mahdi's return from his European trip. smile] ...Iraqi TV reports that PM Mahdi asserts sending names for the last 4 cabinet positions, yet Parliament claims to have not received such names. Parliament is claiming to be faultless for the cabinet not being completed today. Iraq has opened more of its "closed for several years" streets, but not all have been opened yet. ...Some US Banks have staff on alert over the weekend... Late evening reports are coming in of some Kurdistan contractors being paid at a new, and improved currency rate? Time Will Tell.
5-5-2019 Newshound Guru Stryker Iraq prepares and float versus an RV ...Iraq's assets have grown greatly since 2008, why hasn't the value of the dinar?..
5-5-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn I heard they are going to pass a lot of laws this weekend, lets see if they do it or not.

5-4-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Next parliamentary session is scheduled for [today], Saturday. No announcements that they will vote on the remaining ministers.
5-4-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...The banks DO NOT control the RV. The US Treasury DO NOT control the RV. The initiation must come from the CBI. An indication to us that they have done so will come from the “project to delete the zeros”. This [is] now on hold again and we wait...Does the US have some impact? Yes, the US does have a say in the approval cycle once the CBI is ready. So now April is gone and we will see what May brings us. Remember April showers brings May flowers so we wait and see…lol. We know something has to break soon and so will it happen in May or will this be strung out all the way until 2020? [post 2 of 2]
5-4-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...there is NO sound or reasonable evidence that the Iraqi dinar will or can RV anytime soon. ...the window of opportunity quickly closed at the end of March 2019 as it did in 2018. This happened when the government had the CBI send out the electronic payment files and paid out at the old 1180 rate both times. The only window we now know is for January 2020. Could this change? Yes, it could but there is no sign or evidence it has or will. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
5-4-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 ...on Iraq tv they are reporting that all citizens will have their purchasing power before June and that is a correct statement Mandi saying Iraq moving in a positive manner.

5-3-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ So sounds like the can was kicked again until Monday…its still early but that is what my gut is telling me right now...banking apts starting on Monday. So not really bad news…its just we are all sick of that can. IRAQI NEWS: I was told from contact in Iraq that their part is done- everything handed to IMF and they are waiting for the new rate…I have seen no proof they have started exchanging in Iraq. [Any thought on what is holding it up?] I know whatever happened in England threw them a curve yesterday…I don’t know if anything is holding it up though. I think we are in the window waiting for our turn to go in. [Ramadan starts sundown May 5th] that’s the one I’m watching…I know they wanted this done before Ramadan… we will be watching the Middle East all weekend for sure.
5-3-2019 Newshound Guru ChrisC "Alak is not bringing a program rate to the head of the class at the AMF [Arab Monetary Fund]..." Of all the signs, or pieces of evidence, this is the most clear and pertinent to me. This is like saying some fat guy that has never played football is the new quarterback for Dallas. That's not happening. There should be NO possible way that a CB governor that doesn't even have an international currency could occupy such a high profile position. It would be embarrassing.
5-3-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan 6) IMF at least twice has addressed their exchange rate to be in line with international standards. imo 7) IMF talking about changing the currency auctions or effectively ceasing them as we know them. 8) Article from the CBI talking about a unified Arab Currency! 9) ISX to be linking with the Nsadaq. 10) Financial Inclusion was a success to date. Those are a few thoughts that come to mind. Most all the items above have no validity while the IQD is at a program rate. I'll be watching the out come from Mahdi in France. Mahdi and Abadi were involved in the Paris Club. So lets see if Mahdi brings home the kittens.. lol imo. [post 3 of 3]
5-3-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan 3) An article from the Basra Branch of the CBI, told us that they were to facilitate exchange trade with all groups of currency. The spoke of lower denominations and small category notes, and all groups!! ...IRAQ TRADE BANK to be operational, as the first international bank of Iraq, in Riyad Saudi Arabia come mid May. 4) Alak has been promoted to Vice President of current session and the President of the AMF in the next session to follow. 5) Alak was recently in Erbil at a new Bank with what looks like him giving education on currency that has different coloring, etc. They don't need education on old notes. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
5-3-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Laundry list of thoughts of mine why we are going to the Bank so very soon, imo! 1) The Parliamentary Finance Committee is moving in the current legislative session to develop mechanisms to change the monetary policies in the country, in coordination with the Central Bank of Iraq, aimed at raising the dinar exchange rate and maintaining the stability of inflation." ~ March 20, 2019.." "the change will raise the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against foreign currencies while maintaining the stability of inflation In the country"." 2) Mahdi stated that before June he would increase purchase power for the citizens. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]
5-3-2019 Intel Guru Bruce I have been asked again not to go into rates... because the fact we are so close to what is going on. ...the Iraqi Dinar and the USTN, our new currency, started to trading last night...and needed 12 hours straight of trading those two pairs together in order to get the rate of the dollar...versus the Iraqi Dinar. Now, the Iraqi Dinar has been off the screens for days now...it should be up tomorrow morning [Friday] I would think...the trading needed to take place and it did... We know that President Trump has signed off on this. We know the IMF has signed off... They signed off on everything to release...I understand that the currencies are registered, the rates are all registered, and everything is signed off. I think we are really in a sweet spot right now...My understanding is from some of our very highest bank sources that we should be setting appointments tomorrow [Friday]...

5-2-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ I am a little salty this morning...I was expecting to wake up wealthy today…Our folks were told last night...that there was a hang up in England...We were told to watch England 2 hours before all hell broke loose in England and then it did… I am told it is worked out…keep in mind the central banks are headquartered out of London…so the delay could have been the banking establishment there. [When do you see the rv now? Still Friday?] ...my concern now is we won’t be banking until Monday now. [Are we waiting for the auctions to stop in Iraq?] I was told they have already stopped in Iraq…and there has not been one recently. ...People in Iraq say that everything –all paperwork- was given to the IMF and its all in their hands...they are expecting today is the day.
5-2-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 [via Iobey777] THERE'S A LOT GOING ON WITH THE MR [MONETARY REFORM] IN IRAQ AND THE FAB 4 IS GIVING OUT SPARKS... THEY ARE ENLIGHTENING US WITH UNDERSTANDING ...THE IMF COMES OUT...STOP THE AUCTIONS! THEY REALLY WANT THEM TO SAY THEY ARE ART 8, BUT IRAQ IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN DO THAT...THEY CAN'T TELL THEM LIFT THE 3 ZEROS...THEY CAN'T STOP THE AUCTIONS! INFLATION WOULD GO HIGHER! WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS LIFT THE 3 ZEROS OR CHANGE THE AUCTIONS! ...THE FAB 4 IS TALKING TO THEM YOU DON'T STOP AUCTIONS...THEY TRANSCEND BY LIFTING THE VALUE OF THE IQD!...I DON'T BELIEVE THERE ARE ANY DELAYS! I BELIEVE IT IS GETTING DONE! IMO.
5-2-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn [Most of Iraq's revenue is petrodollars] ...they have been paying in petro dollars all this time, they will continue to do that until they change their currency, I don't see that happening for a while. They have a lot to get done before they can do that IMO. I'm getting more convinced that we won't see these this year. but you never know.

5-1-2019 Intel Guru Eagleone2025 [new Guru] May Day May Day today is May 1st so we are now in the second window. May 1-7... The Meeting in Washington D.C..with Trump went very well. [What was DC meeting about?] The RV.
5-1-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [Let's get this party started] I agree…and that’s the rumor that the party starts late afternoon today…we have so much expectation for today…expectations are huge...there really is so much news hitting... I am expecting we can start making apts. before Friday. The redemption centers firmly believe they will start seeing people on Friday...
5-1-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Article: "Barzani meets with Mahdi re: HCL" Things happen slowly in Iraq. We know this. It was about 3 months ago when I posted that original link...the articles are starting to focus on the higher level agreements. This is the fine tuning, and the polishing. That's what I'm seeing happening right now... and it's all coming full circle, about 3-6 months after the last big round of "regular" news. This just happens to fall in place perfectly, if you ask me. I'm on the fence about Ramadan this year - it might not be as quiet as it has been in the past. I'm hoping to find some more clues, or get some "boots on the ground" feedback over the next couple days. [post 2 of 2]
5-1-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana It seems we are in an interesting situation right now. I've been watching the news shift directions slightly...not in an opposing way, just a shift. In the past, we've had some key things happen around mid-year. Major items, like Chapter 7, for example. The "shift" in the news that I'm seeing is - and I say this with a little bit of reservation, because I'm not substituting my intuition for an actual crystal ball - it is encouraging, in a way that may be signaling another big announcement in the middle of the year. I'm expecting a revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar to be preceded by a bit of silence...and we do have that right now. Don't get me wrong, we have a lot of encouraging articles to read right now, but the subtle shift in tone...It's hard to explain... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
5-1-2019 Intel Guru Footforward To be clear, I expect the dinar to revalue and I expect the rate to be over 3.
5-1-2019 Intel Guru Bruce I will say this, we are at the right level where we want to be, and we should have Dinar back on the screens here. It was off...Monday...but I think we are at a Go period...we are ready to kick this thing off. ...I believe we are looking in pretty good shape for tomorrow [Wednesday], and it might be late morning. I am going to suggest everybody just get excited and get ready to go. [post 2 of 2]
5-1-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] We are really in a situation where most sources have been told to shut up and literally just be quiet right now...The banks sources that we have have been asked to be very quiet...Things that were issues a few days ago, are no longer an issue, and that is the kind of news I like to hear... I have been asked...not to get specific about the rates. So, I won’t. ...You are going to find the rate of the Dong...to be very close, within 10% of the Dinar which is tremendous. Much higher than we thought it was going to be. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
5-1-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Parliament met today and agreed to vote on the ministers of Justice and Transportation this week and the ministers of Interior and Defense next week. This will coincide with the opening of the Green Zone anticipated within 10 days. PM Mahdi stated that Iraq will witness great internationalism in the coming period. [The coming period? Is this a replacement for the coming days? LOL]

That's what I'm seeing happening right now... and it's all coming full circle, about 3-6 months after the last big round of "regular" news. This just happens to fall in place perfectly, if you ask me. I'm on the fence about Ramadan this year - it might not be as quiet as it has been in the past. I'm hoping to find some more clues, or get some "boots on the ground" feedback over the next couple days. [post 2 of 2]
5-1-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana It seems we are in an interesting situation right now. I've been watching the news shift directions slightly...not in an opposing way, just a shift. In the past, we've had some key things happen around mid-year. Major items, like Chapter 7, for example. The "shift" in the news that I'm seeing is - and I say this with a little bit of reservation, because I'm not substituting my intuition for an actual crystal ball - it is encouraging, in a way that may be signaling another big announcement in the middle of the year. I'm expecting a revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar to be preceded by a bit of silence...and we do have that right now. Don't get me wrong, we have a lot of encouraging articles to read right now, but the subtle shift in tone...It's hard to explain... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
5-1-2019 Intel Guru Footforward To be clear, I expect the dinar to revalue and I expect the rate to be over 3.
5-1-2019 Intel Guru Bruce I will say this, we are at the right level where we want to be, and we should have Dinar back on the screens here. It was off...Monday...but I think we are at a Go period...we are ready to kick this thing off. ...I believe we are looking in pretty good shape for tomorrow [Wednesday], and it might be late morning. I am going to suggest everybody just get excited and get ready to go. [post 2 of 2]
5-1-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] We are really in a situation where most sources have been told to shut up and literally just be quiet right now...The banks sources that we have have been asked to be very quiet...Things that were issues a few days ago, are no longer an issue, and that is the kind of news I like to hear... I have been asked...not to get specific about the rates. So, I won’t. ...You are going to find the rate of the Dong...to be very close, within 10% of the Dinar which is tremendous. Much higher than we thought it was going to be. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
5-1-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Parliament met today and agreed to vote on the ministers of Justice and Transportation this week and the ministers of Interior and Defense next week. This will coincide with the opening of the Green Zone anticipated within 10 days. PM Mahdi stated that Iraq will witness great internationalism in the coming period. [The coming period? Is this a replacement for the coming days? LOL]
4-29-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [Did Iraq truly close its borders over the weekend?] I have a close friend in Iraq and he told me the borders near him were restricted...they were checking people for currency at the borders. So he assumed this was all over the country at all the borders but we do not know for sure. ...they are trying to get this done before Ramadan...is what we were told. [post 2 of 2]
4-29-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ We are being told the rates are set...[Will we see rates on forex before we exchange?] I believe we will...start exchanging before they put the rate on forex. If they still want to keep things quiet they will want us to exchange and sign those NDA’s. [Some gurus said that when Iraq goes international they can only hold back the new rates for 72 hours.?] We do not have concrete proof that it is international over there yet. We do have concrete proof that rates are locked in and showing now though... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

4-29-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "TO ENACT THE LAW OF FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION" Quote: “...the Committee is keen to enact the law of financial administration as it gives a complete road map of the financial policy in the country in terms of management of money and cash in the state...” I don’t know exactly how long this will take but it is very good news. I quote from the article. – “the change will raise the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against foreign currencies”. We wait and see what happens. How many times have we heard this and yet NOTHING ever happens?
4-29-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [Are you confident the dong is going to be in the first basket?] I am extremely confident it is going to be in the first basket. Imo its 110% it will be in the 1st basket. Iraq has a considerable amount of dong in their treasury and Vietnam holds a considerable amount of IQD. They have been in this together from the get-go.
4-29-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...there is NO sound or reasonable evidence that the Iraqi dinar will or can RV anytime soon...the window of opportunity quickly closed at the end of March 2019 when the government had the CBI send out the electronic payment files and paid out at the old 1180 rate. The only window we now know is for January 2020. Could this change? Yes, it could but there is no sign or evidence it has or will. ...So now April is just about gone and we will see what May brings us. Remember April showers brings May flowers so we wait and see…

4-30-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [via PDK] A whole lot of movement yesterday…some high level military meetings went on about how to handle things like any upsets...how to handle the execution of stuff. A landmark meeting. Banks and redemption centers seem to be ramping up activity right now...getting ready for tomorrow? I hope so...I really hope they do not kick the can again…but based on the movement we saw yesterday tomorrow could be the day. Are they exchanging possibly in Iraq? They can legally go days before us in Iraq…keep in mind Kuwait went 10 days before the rest of the world caught on and they went international. A number of us were asked by the Treasury to not talk about rates…period. [Will things stall until Ramadan?] No ….we feel they will release it all before Ramadan so they can have a hellaciously fun Ramadan period.

4-27-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 IMO, they are doing something at the CBI...it's all related to financial inclusion which includes their financial steps. Iraq is about to make a major economic change, on one condition...what do you think it is? ...Contractors that have been waiting to get into Iraq are now being paid. They are doing something to prepare, I believe, what we call article 2, an announcement that yea we are Article 8 and that yea we have been using the tools inside of our country...now we are about to do it outside of our country on an international status...things are looking really good...
4-27-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [any news from your contacts in Iraq?] We have seen lower denoms but no coinage or really small notes like the one dinar note. There are rumors that the RV has gone for $8.20 …if that were true how would they make change without those coins or really small notes? How would you get change when they buy a soda or pack of gum? No coins or small notes yet imo. [...do you think that maybe there is a chance that they might be fooling all of us and it’s not going to happen?] I believe it's absolutely a “when” and not an “if”... I have seen to much behind the scenes and to much paperwork...it’s the when that has driven us all nuts.

4-26-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat CLARIFICATION OF THE STALLING TO FORM THE LAST OF THE CABINET ...the only reason is that these coalitions realize how important these positions are and want their own person in the positions. That is all it is. It has NOTHING to do with stalling using this as an excuse to hold up the RV and currency reform...There is NO connection!
4-26-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn Articles: "Memorandum of understanding between the Union of Iraqi contractors and Turkish counterpart"; "Ministry of construction signed a contract setting up desalination project schemes in Basra with an Austrian company." Lots of good deals are being made right now, I still say if Iraq can get out of their own way, good things will happen.
4-26-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana No major updates on the dinar, but that's not discouraging in the least...we're simply tracking on a positive course.
4-26-2019 Intel Guru Bruce We know that a week ago today, last Thursday, the Dinar was out on the screen at $8.20. We know that it is projected to go higher. It should be higher now. I can’t confirm a rate...We know the Dong could be approaching about 75% of the Dinar which would put it at $6.00 or over $6.00...I am looking for confirmation on that. ...we are so close we can taste this.

4-26-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] Let’s talk first-of-all about the timing of this...Everything is poised and ready to go at any moment. ...We know that Iraq...this morning [Thursday] had their total financial inclusion took place. That financial inclusion was a culmination of everything that needed to be done with banking systems, with the new rates, with Qi cards used to pay out citizenry, with having an international tradable currency globally with ability to be traded...That financial inclusion culminated and activated today [Thursday]. There you have what it is we have been waiting for from Iraq forever...People are ready to invest and come in now that there is an international tradable currency as the Dinar.

4-26-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ Big news overnight is I was told the borders are closed in Iraq…this probably means good things for us and for the people in Iraq…We were always told they would close their borders just before they reset their currency. …We are watching closely today into tomorrow [Friday]. ...if they really did close the borders in Iraq and are releasing new rates today then maybe things start tomorrow [Friday]?

So the growth is slow but they still need the corruption gone or it will stifle any real growth in the long term.

4-23-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL BANK OF VIETNAM, VIETNAM WILL ISSUE A NEW VERSION OF THE VIETNAMESE DONG ON JANUARY 1, 2015." Of course this did not happen. Why? This is another case where they need to rethink what they are doing. They do not want a bunch of new billionaires overnight. They must first “withdrawal” a certain % of the current larger notes out of circulation, the same process of the project to delete the zeros that Iraq is now going through. The only way to do that is to go electronic banking, just like Iraq did. This is now in the process... They plan to accomplish the conversion to electronic banking by 2020. So could this be a target?

4-23-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat There is lots of chatter about the Dong currency and whether it is planned to revalue. Remember Vietnam was considered on the “underdeveloped” country list of the IMF and so it is one of these countries they want to bring forward because it has great potential...The State Bank of Vietnam has been giving us signals for almost a decade now that they plan to get rid of 3 or up to 4 zeros from their Dong currency. So, we know something is up. But what we don’t know is just exactly how they plan to do it. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

4-22-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat The news today is mostly all about getting investors in Iraq. They know they need to kickstart their economy somehow but can’t just seem to be able to do it with any level of success. But the news today suggest maybe they might move ahead finally in the coming weeks and months. There are still no signs from the CBI of an urgent pending reinstatement of the dinar any time soon... Article: "POST OF GOVERNOR OF THE CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ" Quote: "It is noteworthy that some sources said earlier, that the post of governor of the Central Bank will be a coalition led by Moqtada al-Sadr." I am seeing that Sadr is NOT pleased with the efforts of the CBI and still feels it is enormously corrupt and not doing all the necessary actions too deal with it. Sadr also wants currency reform and wants it NOW.

4-20-2019 Newshound Guru chattels There is no transparency in Iraq or about any revaluation of it's currency. If the dinar is to have any sudden increase in value then we will not be told in advance and no one reading the news will be able to reliably anticipate such, IMO.
4-20-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn Boy with all these articles coming out about stability I see Iraq moving again in the right direction. I see a lot more they need to get done but they are moving in the right direction. I think once they feel they are comfortable with were they are at, then they will do it...no time lines just when. I would like to see the banking improve, stability improve,, the government improve , investment coming in. these are a few of what I like to see happen.
4-20-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana The two largest borders are Iran and Saudi Arabia. Both countries present opportunities for oil delivery... in order to sell their oil, they must deliver it. In order to deliver the oil, it must get to the sea, unless they are to limit their market to the 6 countries that border them... and why would other oil rich countries pay a premium to Iraq? They would not, and will not. So it's in Iraq's best interest to have great relationships with it's neighbors, and it's important that the global market approves of these relationships. Iran and Syria are questionable allies...but Saudi Arabia is a solid partner. This is why I'm excited to see Iraq buddying up with Saudi Arabia, and it's even more exciting that it's not exactly clear what Saudi Arabia has to benefit at this time. I think we all know, or can use our imaginations. ...Saudi Arabia has a longstanding position of “middle”...not anti-Iraq, but not the opposite either. Why, now, are they opening their arms?

4-20-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...one quick clarification - earlier this week I said PM Abadi was in Saudi Arabia on business.

It is also lessening the reserve amount. In another article today we see the CBI reserves are only $62 billion. This is not far from the amount told to us last Oct 2018. We can do the math ourselves and see that the reserves should be at least $70-80 by now. I am saying this going back to Dr Shabibi times at the rate the reserves used to grow from oil revenues. Strong CBI reserves means a strong dinar.
4-18-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Iran and Iraq are friendlier than I like, but that's an emotional opinion rather than a business one. Iran is in a geographical position to be beneficial to Iraq, and Iraq does have a large percentage of it's population that is sympathetic to Iran, so some buddying up is to be expected and will not prevent or delay a restructuring or revaluing of their currency. Iran is handicapped by sanctions at the moment, so they are of less help than they would be otherwise. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, is not crippled at all. They are powerful, in good graces on many accounts, and are getting friendlier with Iraq than they have in the past. Since Iran is not the most capable ally to Iraq, does it surprise anyone that PM Abadi is in Saudi Arabia today...discussing trade, policy, and OIL? Abadi is currently on day 1 of a 2 day visit. I am crossing my fingers for some solid progress as a result of the things I've just mentioned. I think we're going to see HCL news quicker than they are letting on. [post 2 of 2]

4-18-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Central Bank Basra branch introduces a window to provide small cash categories" Quote: "The Central Bank of Iraq (CBE) launched a branch of the Basra branch on Thursday to develop a window from the issue division to provide small groups of 250, 500 and 1,000 dinars." Smalls are available! holy smokes... 250, 500, 1,000s are lower denominations not small categories... It appears to me they are saying they have all groups, and in my opinion that means small categories as well. The article told us about new products. Well all groups will be about new products. As in small category ones. Mahdi and the CBI told us they are going raise the exchange rate.. Well they will need the new products to do so. This tells us they have all groups! imo...

4-17-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana There was a bit of suspense regarding Iraqi Parliamentary activity today. The Financial Management aspect was pushed off, but I don't see that as a major factor. The other 5 matters were attended to, from what we can tell...5 out of 6 is a huge improvement over what we used to see out of Parliament! This is just another testament to the progress Iraq has made and continues to make. Oil...I know I don't have to harp on this, but oil is a big deal and Iraq is focused heavily. In fact, OIL wasn't even officially on the agenda for today's Parliament votes, yet it was still a heavy matter of discussion. I'm reading into that part. It wasn't even on the official agenda, but it was a major point of discussion. The goal, as stated by all reports, is to get affairs in order quickly. That makes sense to me, and I'm keeping a keen eye on things. To add to that thought, let's consider the current global situations of two other countries that are relevant to Iraq's progression: Iran and Saudi Arabia... [post 1of 2....stay tuned]

4-12-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [What rates are you hearing now?] This is a guess...what makes sense to me...$4.40 for a in country rate on the dinar... possibly as high as 6.50 in the US...this is only my opinion...I always thought Low 2$ to $2.30 range on the dong...Just my opinion and makes sense to me... [Hard to comprehend there is so much return on our currency for all the currency holders – wow] Yes it is tough to believe...but we see all the signs…a lot of movement with swift and AIB…. ...There is so much happening as we move toward the asset backed world. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
4-12-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [via PDK] The news is phenomenal today...very exciting...they are putting our horses in the starting gate... The 800 numbers are fair game anywhere from Friday night to Sunday night... logistically It makes more sense for Sunday now. ...The rates locked in but not released yet for us... [can we expect numbers to change on the CBI when this goes?] I expect to see the rates on the CBI a day after this all goes…so they do not have to mess with time zones and leaks. ...The forex window closing on Friday evening to Sunday is what makes the most sense for things to happen at this point. I am absolutely convinced that we are past the point of no return... [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]
4-11-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I have told everyone this before but...we might just be waiting until Jan 2020 again. This is of course the worst scenario...I have also said... that I do not see much more that the CBI has to do to move ahead to the final step with the project to delete the zeros. It appears they take giant leaps and bounds and then just stall again. ... We all know this situation if very fluid and changes almost daily. ...So right now, unless we see some different signs, we must cool down our anxieties, relax and let Iraq do what it does. [post 3 of 3]
4-11-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat 2) Also we know that a FREE MARKET economy will force Iraq to deal with international trade and so how cumbersome will this conversion of dinars to dollars $$$ be in draining the CBI reserves by these currency auctions? They will have to move to a floating rate dinar and reinstate it to be ultimately successful in this FREE MARKET economy if this is truly where they want to go. Oh - but we also know that they can not move to reinstate the dinar unless the also complete the “project to delete the zeros”. The two efforts are interconnected. There is much resistance to both ideas and many economist have their opinions of the effects of both of them and so you see the real set of problems here? [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
4-11-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ A number of whales have appointments today...we are watching it closely.

[will you come in to confirm the first 800 numbers?] ...we will start streaming the 800 numbers immediately. ...I will get #’s directly from the bank...I will verify all the banks 800 numbers that they give me before I release it... This is not an “IF “ it’s a “When” ...This is Proof of the pudding day… [post 2 of 2]
4-11-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ The news overnight was too big! We are told the 3rd rate locked in …We are told they expect to release dollars today...to me The Proof is in the Pudding...we heard from government contacts as well… They said we crossed the point of no return…I am told It all broke loose last night ...they firmly believe 800#’s today…. …I was reached out to by Attorneys and Politicians and government contacts….

4-11-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...The news now from Iraq is all about two issues now: 1) paying out the salaries and pensions and catching up on owed bills; 2) getting investors to take hold in Iraq and the switch over from a CENTRALIZED GOVT RUN economy to a FREE MARKET economy. I do not know how the full extent of these two main issues matter for the timing of the reinstatement, but I will say this: 1) The IMF has always had a mandate that Iraq be able to pay its bills on time. They want Iraq to move forward to a more timely monthly payment schedule. This is monetary stability. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]

Once they have the final rate locked in...everything starts. If things go out as planned roll out tomorrow [Thursday]...very positive on the RV front...I am thinking dollars tomorrow...

4-10-2019 Newshound Guru G-Lin I really don't know what the trigger will be in regards to a currency adjustment. I have always felt it would be prompted by trade. Tariffs. We have seen Iraq increase their exports and decrease their imports in the last few years. That needs to continue. Total independence in agriculture and in all of the "Made in Iraq" products. I noticed another meeting with WTO a month or so ago. They are working at complying with necessary requirements. They did have the first reading of the draft mineral investment law today in Parl.
4-10-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ We were also told that Appointments were set up with whales with HSBC and WF for Thursday to make appointments to exchange currencies...Some of these people I know and they are personal friends. I am not a whale...Whales are people who already have a regular relationship with bankers...prior investments and stuff like that. ...they have like 50M dinar 50M dong or more. Large amounts of currency… Its possible that we could see 800#'s today...The banks have expectations. It is looking good for Thursday right now with the movement. [Anything new on rates?] Here is what I still believe...makes sense to me…. Street rate Dinar will be $4 to 4.50...I think $6 to $8 for contract rate... I believe the Dong will be in the low $2's to $2.20 or so. I will keep digging for news today…
4-10-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn ...I think most countries are pegged to the US dollar, so...saying they are against the us dollar means they are competing against the US dollar...I think that is right. ...the currency is adjusted to the GDP of the country. what that country has to offer, I think Iraq has a lot to offer and not just oil. with the private sector coming in , they will do quite well in the world
4-10-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Demands to create an economy based on international foundations" Going to a free market economy is exactly what we have been waiting for...The amount of jobs that will be created will be huge...we just were told the 2018 budget had a surplus of $3 billion and that is to be used to benefit the citizens per the HML [HCL ?]! Let’s also not forget the Turk model they are following requires that that law be in place and it is and was enacted 01/13/2019 and is being adjusted to and. Right on time. So there is no surprise they are talking about going to a free market economy, as they have the checklist checked! Imo.
4-10-2019 Intel Guru Bruce Saturday... we had the Zim (Bruce said Zim, but I think he might have meant Dinar) at a very nice rate just below $8.00 on the screens. Dong is back at a lower rate than it was and it got started trading Sunday night, and it is on its way trading and I am sure it is trading back up. I am going to encourage everybody to be very excited and positive about what should be happening here this week. ...I am looking at a fantastic week for all of us. [post 2 of 2]
4-10-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] This is kind of where we are. I understand... there is an automated portion...maybe the entire system is automated to take our 800 number call ins. My understanding is that up until late last night ...banks were being connected to the 800 number reservation system that they had not been yet connected and they were scrambling to get those additional banks that are going to be part of the redemption process...to be connected to the automated reservation system. Now, we also heard the toll-free number could come virtually anytime now. The update was for approximately lunchtime tomorrow [Wednesday]. ...We think that could signal our start.

4-10-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling Things change…My confidence in the Iraqi dinar has never changed. So they have to change the tactic on what they need to do to maintain a certain economy. They are adapting to whatever the market is going to be…You shouldn’t have any fear…In my view…the worst case scenario it gets to $2.70, $2.80 and this is within the GCC and the market…So I’m just thinking about that market and what’s involved. And just like any other currency, is it too high within a market and then it won’t work…and if they avoid that and just get into the world market that’s not going to work. They have to be locally plugged in and take advantage of the international markets. [post 2 of 2]

4-9-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling …The Iraqi dinar is going to revalue. The west set it up to revalue. Their banking system is set up for a higher rate to be able to participate in the world markets. Everybody knows this…It’s going to revalue. Do we know when? Absolutely not. And the way that it revalues things change. It simply changes. Think about…from 2011 to what it is today - It’s a completely different world. The projections are completely different. You had senators getting up in the senate and saying there was 50 years of oil left…obviously they’re full of it. Obviously they were lying and trying to create an artificial market…and they had a president that backed it all up…that’s why we live in a completely different world. [post 1 of 2]
4-9-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ We are still sitting here on the edge of our seats...I am still expectant ...I am tired of being this hyped up…but everything we hear from everyone is still very positive.

I have been called many names and threatened this week...this is a reason many people quit sharing... Again – this is not an “if” – it’s a “when”...

4-9-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling …The GCC countries…are going to want to be a part of that…there are two things that have to happen. Iraq has to revalue its currency to participate so they have the money to invest…If you’re getting less and less dollars because the price of oil is going down then they’re going to have to add value to their own currency to make up for that. Also, if they go too high within the GCC…no one is going to invest in Iraq. Why go to Iraq and pay $3.22…when you can go right next do or to Saudi Arabia and [pay] $.23 for whatever you’re buying. What it does it puts a cap on how far the currency can go…that’s why I’m speculating that it will never get to $3.22. And I could be completely wrong. [Post 2 of 2]
4-9-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling I noticed a big huge trend. A little bit of fear. And there is no reason for it…[My] statement…“I don’t think the dinar is going to get to $3.25.” That is just my opinion…Where does that come from?…We understand the opportunity for them to revalue is oil prices. Well there are other things on the table and it has to do the the GCC which is basically a trading block in the middle east. …what’s being proposed for peace in the middle east between Israel and the countries that surround Israel will have an indirect effect for Iraq and its currency…and it’s all good news. …The United States has agreed to put 2 Trillion into helping and sustaining the framework of this trading block… [Post 1 of 2]
4-9-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [...do you see the passing of the 2019 budget with the old rate in it as significant? Do you think we will now need to wait until 2020 to see an increase in the rate?...] No to both questions. I’ll expand on that briefly - the budget as passed allocated a specific dollar amount to specific items. This dollar amount gives Iraq a functioning government and will not need to be changed with the rate.

4-8-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ Well in the past we have heard so many sorry stories and the can was kicked so many times...but this time I don’t think is one of them...As of now, I am excited we will see solid movement overnight. [Any news about rates?] Hearing 4.50 up to $6 or $8 for contract rates on the dinar...dong - I still think about $ 2.20 to $2.60...

4-8-2019 Intel/Newshound Guru Sandyf [If the Saudi's currency is worth 27 cents I would think Iraq's currency is worth at least that if not more. I've study this thing upside down and sideways ...I still find it hard to believe Iraq and the US went through all of this for nothing...] When considering the value of a currency you have to take into account how much is in circulation. Kuwait has about 40 billion dinar in circulation and Iraq around 44 trillion, see the difference. I believe as much as you do that something may well happen...
4-8-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana When people see something rising in value, they predictably want to catch that wave... People see other people making profits and want to join in, and again the herd mentality can push a stock or a currency or anything else that is being traded to levels that it shouldn't actually attain. Eventually the markets will stabilize, as they always do. In Iraq's case, this is exactly why I lean towards a pegged RV rate opposed to a complete free float on the market. It will be easier for them to control a major change if they also control the fluctuation, and they stand to make enough profits on an RV that they will be better served by taking the profits on a fixed spread rather than trying to "catch it at the top". A pegged rate, at least initially, will allow them to control and maintain a higher rate. They are doing all this with their actions in their government, and the price of oil going up at a steady and fairly predictable rate gives them the ability to create a solid path to higher profitability. End result? Everything we’re looking for! [post 3 of 3]
4-8-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Iraq’s currency price is based on their ability to sell it to other countries, just like any other country with a tradable currency. Their ability to sell their currency is determined by what other countries will pay for it - this is the basic concept of supply and demand. ...In order for Iraq to raise the "sell" price of their currency, they have to create a strong market for it. ...If Iraq wasn't making progress towards stability and strength, we would have no chance of an RV. That is...not the case. Iraq IS moving in the right direction. ...That's really all this comes down to...Iraq's ability to raise the value of their currency is based on the perceived ability to provide a solid expectation of return on investment.

4-8-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana If you’ve kept up with my recent posts, you know I’m excited about oil...We finished the week still above $60 on the WTI charts... and still going strong. BIG PICTURE TIME. There are a lot of moving parts here, but the biggest thing we're waiting on right now is the HCL. There are a bunch of articles and news related to HCL, and I'm even getting some very encouraging private messages from my contacts about the progress, but the bottom line right now is this: HCL has not been concluded at this time. Therefore we have no RV...yet. Yet, we have reason to keep hanging on, and if I may be so bold...we have a damn good reason for it. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]

End result? Everything we’re looking for! [post 3 of 3]
4-8-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Iraq’s currency price is based on their ability to sell it to other countries, just like any other country with a tradable currency. Their ability to sell their currency is determined by what other countries will pay for it - this is the basic concept of supply and demand. ...In order for Iraq to raise the "sell" price of their currency, they have to create a strong market for it. ...If Iraq wasn't making progress towards stability and strength, we would have no chance of an RV. That is...not the case. Iraq IS moving in the right direction. ...That's really all this comes down to...Iraq's ability to raise the value of their currency is based on the perceived ability to provide a solid expectation of return on investment.

4-8-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana If you’ve kept up with my recent posts, you know I’m excited about oil...We finished the week still above $60 on the WTI charts... and still going strong. BIG PICTURE TIME. There are a lot of moving parts here, but the biggest thing we're waiting on right now is the HCL. There are a bunch of articles and news related to HCL, and I'm even getting some very encouraging private messages from my contacts about the progress, but the bottom line right now is this: HCL has not been concluded at this time. Therefore we have no RV...yet. Yet, we have reason to keep hanging on, and if I may be so bold...we have a damn good reason for it. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]
4-7-2019 Newshound Guru G-Lin ...I'm not sure exactly why they are bringing it back. Will they add amendments? Will any additional amendments address a rate? Everything is guess work at this stage and I'm sure that's deliberate. They also changed the date on the introduction into Parl. again From Apr.10th to Apr. 17th. I'm hoping we will learn a little more between now and the 17th. So we wait. But I like the direction this is taking. They just held a seminar on the deletion of zeros and that is encouraging.

4-7-2019 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf [...in all the yrs! The rate has never been in the budget.] You are quite right, there is no rate in a budget. Iraq, like many other countries and businesses, must publish their accounts and budgets in both local currency and USD so there is a rate of exchange between the 2 versions. As far as Iraq is concerned the rate makes little difference to their income revenue and the USD budget, whatever the rate they would still only get the market price for a barrel of oil.

4-4-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Association of Iraqi private banks holds a preparatory meeting for the day of financial inclusion" Financial Inclusion is a hot topic for not only the IMF but the Bank of International Settlements and the World Bank. Think about it why are they working so close with Private Banks? Because, imo those that have a lot of wealth or will have a lot in the short term will use them... They will bring in their wealth to the banks...to exchange it into the new products. Won't Private Banks need the new small category notes to facilitate their new beginning into a market economy? The wealthy own businesses and will need new product for daily transactions. ...They will also need the ability for the markets to do Foreign wire transfers for those that do international trade.

4-3-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...the benchmark price I chose is WTI [West Texas Intermediate], which is not necessarily "Iraqi Oil"...WTI is a commonly used price that can be used to reasonably gauge activity across various markets. Since actual daily Iraqi production and sales are not readily available, it makes sense to track another index or marker that has a more reliable report available. As of this writing, oil (WTI) has surpassed $60 and is on a steady pace (slow and steady wins the race!) upwards. This isn't the only thing that matters, of course. The ReValuation (RV) of the Iraqi Dinar isn't hinged on any one item by any means! It is a culmination of many moving parts, and OIL is only one of them... but OIL is a big piece, and it's performing exactly as we we want. [post 2 of 2]
4-3-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Just a quick note this morning, because I'm bubbling with excitement over the recent progress and feel compelled to get something up here. No, we don't have an HCL...and no, there has been no RV announcement. But, boy howdy, talk about tracking! Iraq, the CBI, President Trump, and the Easter Bunny all have something in common: NONE of them are going to give us a specific "heads up" when Iraq is about to pull the trigger on a ReValuation of the Iraqi Dinar. Our job here is to be informed, engaged, and prepared. OIL is over my forecasted/predicted/anticipated mark of $60... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
4-3-2019 Intel Guru Bruce Regarding Forex, over the weekend...there was a brand-new format for the Forex, a new template. Guess what? These currencies that we hold were known as and have been known as exotic currencies. Guess what? The exotics we hold are now in the same format as the rest of the world’s currencies. So, they have been essentially upgraded to the point of being fully tradable...probably the Dong, and I think the Dinar is just about ready to hit the screens. I have given you a heads up on rates...the Dinar supposed to come out well over $7, but maybe well over $8 or $9, and it should continue up from there. I would encourage you to be ready to get everything together. Let’s see what happens. I am excited. I think and hope we are just about there. [post 3 of 3]

Since actual daily Iraqi production and sales are not readily available, it makes sense to track another index or marker that has a more reliable report available. As of this writing, oil (WTI) has surpassed $60 and is on a steady pace (slow and steady wins the race!) upwards. This isn't the only thing that matters, of course. The ReValuation (RV) of the Iraqi Dinar isn't hinged on any one item by any means! It is a culmination of many moving parts, and OIL is only one of them... but OIL is a big piece, and it's performing exactly as we we want. [post 2 of 2]
4-3-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Just a quick note this morning, because I'm bubbling with excitement over the recent progress and feel compelled to get something up here. No, we don't have an HCL...and no, there has been no RV announcement. But, boy howdy, talk about tracking! Iraq, the CBI, President Trump, and the Easter Bunny all have something in common: NONE of them are going to give us a specific "heads up" when Iraq is about to pull the trigger on a ReValuation of the Iraqi Dinar. Our job here is to be informed, engaged, and prepared. OIL is over my forecasted/predicted/anticipated mark of $60... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
4-3-2019 Intel Guru Bruce Regarding Forex, over the weekend...there was a brand-new format for the Forex, a new template. Guess what? These currencies that we hold were known as and have been known as exotic currencies. Guess what? The exotics we hold are now in the same format as the rest of the world’s currencies. So, they have been essentially upgraded to the point of being fully tradable...probably the Dong, and I think the Dinar is just about ready to hit the screens. I have given you a heads up on rates...the Dinar supposed to come out well over $7, but maybe well over $8 or $9, and it should continue up from there. I would encourage you to be ready to get everything together. Let’s see what happens. I am excited. I think and hope we are just about there. [post 3 of 3]
4-3-2019 Intel Guru Bruce What about Iraq? ...Gazette days are Saturday and Wednesday. Did the everything come out in the Gazette Saturday? No. Will it come out tomorrow [Wednesday]? We believe...Iraq will have completed ...what it is what they have been promising...which is put out an international rate, have everything activated for their budget, Parliament seats they need to talk about, all of that is supposed to be done...So that is a very positive thing of what we should expect from Iraq. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
4-3-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] I am excited guys and it is for a good reason, I believe. You realize that this ride we have been on has been a little up and down...You know how we sort of had last week a Tuesday/Wednesday window that we thought would be happening. The next thing you know it gets pushed. Then we were looking at a Friday/Saturday. We didn’t get the Friday/Saturday. Things were happening. That is the important thing. Things were moving along where we were seeing things getting accomplished, and that was important... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

If this is not an ESCORT, I don't know what is.. lol ...The World Bank is telling the world that Iraq is going to have a remarkable recovery.. Lol This is the WORLD BANK one of the FAB 4...

Time Will Tell...if it even matters? A World Bank representative was interviewed and stated that after the cabinet completion, the Iraqi economy will experience a remarkable recovery. That announcement in Monday's mosque session indicated something very noticeable taking place by Tuesday evening...so, wait we shall!

4-1-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat A scientific symposium (seminar) was held entitled “delete zeros from the Iraqi dinar” This seminar was divided into three sessions: The first session: the concept of deleting zeros from the dinar. The second session: the expected results of the deletion of three zeroes from the Iraqi dinar. The third session: The experiences of some countries in the process of deleting zeros. Wow! Wow! Wow! Does this not tell you something? They just held this three-prong seminar on the project to delete the zeros. WOW!
4-1-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ I do believe we have a great week ahead…There was great progress over the weekend...lots of I’s dotted and t’s crossed...I am still extremely confident we are in the short end...We are being told we should be getting 800 numbers about Wednesday. There are expectations absolutely for this week. My person in Iraq said they did not post new rates on Saturday as we expected. But expecting new rates by Wednesday. I am hoping to get to the 100% this week...I am in a any moment mode still...I really believe its that’s close.
4-1-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat They only [way?] I know that they can liberate the exchange rate of the dinar is to put in on a float. We have read many times that the CBI will NOT put the program rate of 1180 on a float. In other words, the only way to liberate it is to reinstate it and let it float on the currency exchanges. This is what the IMF was talking about. But we know that in order to do this means the CBI must also coordinate this effort with the “project to delete the zeros”. These two pieces are interconnected and can’t be separated. When will this project occur? We know it can occur anytime before, during or just after the reinstatement. So no one really knows but...when we do see the smaller category notes coming out we know the reinstatement is very close at hand, if it didn’t already happen. [post 3 of 3]
4-1-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Meantime the CBI, an independent agency, stands waiting in the wings to more ahead with the project to delete the zeros. The GOI has been holding them back. Just in recent weeks we read that parliament has passed a special bill assuring the independence of the CBI. So can the CBI go ahead without the GOI? Yes, but will they? We know the IMF also has recently told the CBI to move ahead with “freeing the exchange rate of the dinar”. The only way I know that they can do this is to liberate the dinar from the currency auctions (put in place for sanctions). [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]

3-31-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn IMF doesn't force a country to do anything, they just suggest the way to do it so the country will come out with the rest of the world...of course if that country doesn't do what the IMF suggest then the IMF can refuse to fund that country [Im wondering if its getting to that point now that the IMF is suggesting to Iraq to add value to the dinar right now.] I think Iraq wants to do that ...but they need a suitable conditions and stability in the country first...then you will see a change in the rate...I would love to say they are ready to come out to the world but I just can't, at least not yet. I'm not trying to be negative but I just need to see more coming out of Iraq that shows they are moving in the right direction first. I'm here like everyone else to make money, if I didn't feel we were going to I would have been going long ago.

3-30-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Very related to HCL is this: Article: "Parliamentary Energy intends to review the oil agreement between Baghdad and Erbil" In a nutshell, the Kurdish oil production is higher than the anticipated amount... What does this mean to us? IMO, this has great potential. The Kurds have a solid argument, and the Baghdad side now has a LOT of motivation to get busy negotiating a profit sharing agreement. That’s exactly what the HCL is. The Kurds will also be motivated to get this moving, as they probably stand to catch a larger portion of the budget in addition to a better HCL deal. A couple years ago when they were talking about a secession, with the Kurds forming their own country - remember that? I had heard at the time from my experts that there was no real chance of that happening, but they were setting the stage for a stronger position in the big picture. That is EXACTLY what this ties into, and the HCL is what puts a pretty little bow on this whole deal. Pretty exciting stuff! [post 2 of 2]

This issue is now becoming imperative since Iraq is having trouble trading with its neighbors... without a real rate. ...The IMF is now aggressively pushing the CBI to reinstate the IQD... 2. Quote... “Abadi revealed his decision in May 2018 to arrest former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki” ...This DOES NOT say Maliki is already arrested. It is only telling us an intent to arrest him.

Now we know the Iraqi Dinar is going to be exchanged or traded internationally on the markets starting Sunday night. ...the new rate on the Dinar should be coming out initially over $7 and then it will get traded up.

3-29-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni There will never be a RV or RI...it's not how monetary policy works. In order see the dinar's value rise we need to see the CBI open the banking system, and see investment laws passed to bring investors to Iraq. Only then can pressure come (in the form of investment) that will force the CBI to float the currency. All of this could take several more months because Iraq does nothing fast.

Then the Dong will be $4 and trading up higher as a result...that is what we are hearing from the people that know and have seen the screens. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
3-29-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [what made you decide to start posting again Mark?] it was suggested from someone who is a trigger puller….that I become more public in order to pass on info if they needed me too and because of all the misinformation out there. ...so I came back out of hiding…so to speak.
3-29-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni There will never be a RV or RI...it's not how monetary policy works. In order see the dinar's value rise we need to see the CBI open the banking system, and see investment laws passed to bring investors to Iraq. Only then can pressure come (in the form of investment) that will force the CBI to float the currency. All of this could take several more months because Iraq does nothing fast.
3-28-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Thursday afternoon update: New US bank rates reported: Dinar - $3.51 to $4.43; Dong - $0.47 to $2.23. The Iraqi Minster of Finance requested that all ministries convene and have financial reports completed for implementation of the 2019 budget. [How long? Not long!] Iraqi TV was broadcasting the past Prime Minister Abadhi stating that the process to arrest past Prime Minister Maliki for the downfall of Mosul was initiated and requested that present Prime Minister Madhi enforce that decision. An announcement regarding Iraq's financial situation pertaining to its currency is expected on Saturday. Time Will Tell!
3-28-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ I am feeling good today...still at 99.9% to see everything in March or at least by April 1st. I expect to be able to see it, touch it and taste it by then…The amount of news we are getting is encouraging…it was very quiet then suddenly it’s like a dam breaking... I am trying to get it all together to know where we are...The news from Iraq is crazy good...they are talking up a storm…I am still hearing they expect a new rate on Saturday...I feel we are in an any minute… imminent ...sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for this to happen…these are every phrase I hate...but right now they are true. ...things I am seeing from all sources all over the place its crazy. They always said it would be nuts at the end…which is where we are imo... Hopefully I will have you a very good update by tomorrow am.

3-28-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...parliament has only passed 1 law in the last 6 months. We need these critical laws passed so investment will begin to come in to Iraq.

Why would they tell us this if they were not now ready to move ahead again? Oh – but they did tell us they are moving ahead again. We just need to wait a little longer as they complete the final touches on this process. The target is still to go by the end of March. They need to pay the Kurdish salaries and other payments and benefits to other citizens in Iraq. They need to open the 2019 budget.

We have been waiting for months with no news and now we get 3 articles. Is the CBI getting ready to change over to the smaller category notes? This is the early part of their re-education program. Remember these older 3 zero notes are to coincide with the news notes for up to 10 years. We can expect articles to explain and show us the smaller category notes. This is what we need to really see and we will know we are right on top it.
3-27-2019 Intel Guru Bruce So, I am glad that it is over and we are moving forward, and I am glad this blessing will be able to come now.

That means going up in value... Could they be on the screens by 9:00 am in the banks? Yes. I would expect it. Not guaranteed, but I would expect it.

3-26-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "A group of MPs propose a 10 percent deduction of oil money and distribute it to citizens" This is...if true...And it looks to be so...It is the biggest news we have seen in all the years I have been involved. Distribution to the Citizens from the Oil revenues is far and beyond big, as it means to me they need to open the 2019 budget. That will bring value to the citizens and to the smalls, as in an exchange rate, an international one that will be accepted globally and in all markets. The amount of items that have fallen into place...shows us that this ride imo is just about over. Coming into the end of a quarter, one that is early in the year? Very nice, very nice timing. Now imo, we watch oh so very close to the CBI as that imo is where we hear the Krakatoa! lol Awesome day!!
3-26-2019 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf Since the 1980's the IMF has been trying to get every country in the world under Art 8, last count I think about 17 still under Art 14. The IMF are not happy with countries using Art 14 on a permanent basis. Article 14 currencies are non convertible and subject to restrictions, and making a currency "Free" of restrictions has nothing to do with changing the rate. [post 2 of 2]
3-26-2019 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf ...There is no dispute that promoting other resources apart from oil will improve the GDP, and possibly put pressure on the CBI. In 2012 the CBI came under pressure and raised the value of the dinar from 1170 to 1166. There are around 37 countries worldwide that carry out currency "auctions", why should Iraq not be one of them? The term is a misnomer, it is a mechanism to providing banks with foreign currency for their customers, that will never go away, possibly a change to the format. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

3-25-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 [via sunny] Had flashing rates on the screen and we had some fixed rates from bank sources that came in yesterday. Rates, Dinar $4.43 - $6.63; Dong, $2.23 - $3.60...Another bank source gave us consistently, $2.21 on the Dong. Said the Dinar would come out low and climb... Also had a member, a relative that worked at a bank, said there was a rush... buying Dong and was told "the rates are to be changing this week,"...We will see what happens in the coming hours.
3-25-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...But the reinstatement is not just changing the CBI rate. It is a reinstatement process with many more technical issues that arise if you go from a CBI rate to a Market rate and do it in the middle of a fiscal accounting period for the year. I can not go into all the details and many of you would not understand the adjustments to the ledgers that would have to be made from moving from a 1180 rate to a $4.40 rate, as it is a very substantial change in values. How do you adjust and reconcile a ledger with a mix of program rate and true market rate of the dinar? So we can see the dilemma that the GOI is in when they did not make their target for a January 2019 reinstatement. The effects ripple enormously once they open the budget and then try to reinstate later in the middle of a fiscal year. [post 2 of 2]
3-25-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Many of these intel gurus are telling you that the CBI and GOI want to reinstate the currency by the end of March. I am hearing the same and we know that the govt has not yet opened its 2019 budget...We have been told that the GOI waits to open the budget because once they do, if the reinstatement (which will include significant rate increase for the dinar) did not yet happen they may have to wait until January 2020 window again.

3-24-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...they can never stop the auctions until two things are accomplished. 1. They float the currency, 2. they move to Article VIII.
3-24-2019 Intel Guru ADMINBILL IMO you & I are nearing the beginning of a new and unknown future. Are you as ready as you should be? Do you have a plan? Are your papers in order...?
3-24-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni So as of now, the CBI has met the 2% rule for a year and there is no MCP...They are in compliance. Part of compliance to get out of Article XIV to Article VIII is the ability to control that. So the IMF requires that before they could move to Article VIII. ...the CBI cannot stop the auctions until it has something to replace it with. The auctions are the CBI's source of revenue. The replacement is the float which allows the CBI to then buy/sell its currency on the world market like any other country that floats... [You can always see the latest CBI official rate and market rate on the left side of this page.]
3-24-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana We all know that it won't just be us little investors and Iraq that benefits from a change in the Iraqi Dinar. Every country that has physical dinar in their reserves, or any kind of trade alliance with Iraq, will also benefit. That's one piece of the puzzle, and an important one, but what's even more important is the overall picture... which just keeps getting better and better. Iraq's reserves reporting positive news: "CBI News 03/20/2019 Annual Report of the performance of foreign reserves of the Central Bank of Iraq" Quote: "Iraq's foreign reserves rise 32.6% last year Central Bank of Iraq" Iraq could not ask for a better scenario under which to increase the value of their currency.

3-24-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana I've been saying for a couple months now that oil to ~$60 was what I want to see. This is not because $60 is a "magic number", so even though we *almost* hit $60 this week ($59.85 I think!!!), I'm going to state that the oil price is "close enough" and we are officially in the GREEN ZONE on that aspect. A declining price in oil would have made the RV-Button-Pushers pull back. That didn't happen. A sudden spike to $60 would have urged no action, because a sudden pullback would have been expected. That didn't happen either! What we have been seeing in the price of oil is a steady climb, very controlled and consistent, towards the $60 mark. ...Keep in mind that the OPEC oil production limitation agreement that virtually every OPEC country/member has signed onto, with the exception of Iraq, is largely responsible for this controlled growth...

3-24-2019 Intel Guru ADMINBILL IMO you & I are nearing the beginning of a new and unknown future. Are you as ready as you should be? Do you have a plan? Are your papers in order...?
3-24-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni So as of now, the CBI has met the 2% rule for a year and there is no MCP...They are in compliance. Part of compliance to get out of Article XIV to Article VIII is the ability to control that. So the IMF requires that before they could move to Article VIII. ...the CBI cannot stop the auctions until it has something to replace it with. The auctions are the CBI's source of revenue. The replacement is the float which allows the CBI to then buy/sell its currency on the world market like any other country that floats... [You can always see the latest CBI official rate and market rate on the left side of this page.]
3-24-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana We all know that it won't just be us little investors and Iraq that benefits from a change in the Iraqi Dinar.

3-23-2019 Newshound/Intel Gurus Delta and MilitiaMan Article: "Iraq: Activation of the first phase of the Kuwaiti grant for the reconstruction of the affected areas" Quote: "...that the President of the Fund Mustafa Al-Hiti signed a contract to activate the Kuwaiti grant phase I, amounting to $ 15 million... "He added that projects will be launched on Wednesday." [I thought this was only going to be released after a full MR,(monetary reform) or did I miss something?] YES YOU DID MISS SOMETHING...TODAY IS SAT ...NOT WED YET... With what we have over the last couple weeks is outstanding! imo... FA (final Article)...is game changer... Quote: “The Parliamentary Financial Committee is moving in current legislative session to develop mechanisms, to change, the Monetary and the Monetary Policy, in coordination with the CBI and aimed at raising the dinar exchange rate and maintaining the stability of inflation. The change will raise the exchange rate of the Iraqi Dinar against foreign currencies.”
3-23-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ There is a lot going on this morning…I am really hopeful we will get the “go” sometime late this weekend. I am excited and at the edge of my seat right now. [Trump is free start the RV.] Yes, that is what we were told. [does the Mueller release mean a “green light Mark”?] I am being told YES it means a green light…I wasn’t sure it was connected, but it appears it was. ...IMO The Final Protocals are being done...I am looking at a SUN -Mon event…
3-23-2019 Guru Newshound/Intel Mnt Goat Article: "INTEGRITY COMMISSION ON TUESDAY, IT WAS ABLE TO CONTROL CASES OF MANIPULATION IN THE SALE OF CURRENCY" Quote: “THE CHANGE WILL BE MADE BY RAISING THE EXCHANGE RATE OF THE IRAQI DINAR AGAINST FOREIGN CURRENCIES”. What did they just tell us...? They are going ahead with the currency reform. Also I want to point out we keep getting article after article on how Iraq needs investors to come into Iraq, yet they can’t without a FREE FLOW of capital and you can’t have a FREE FLOW OF CAPITAL using the currency auctions. This would be disastrous for Iraq. So they need to go international and they need to raise the value in the process or it will not work. It is all interconnected and it is time to get it done- not later but NOW!
3-23-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [So when you say iraq may float the currency. Do you mean from the 1190 or from a RV/RI status?] It makes sense to me to a lower RI (reinstate) their currency and then float up to where it needs to be…
3-23-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We know that when these last ministers are voted in this will complete the government. We have been told that the government must be completed and stable prior to any reinstatement. This has been a major requirement over the years. I am not saying this is the ONLY requirement. We also know that there is still major corruption with the currency. How much of it is fixed and to what extent we do not yet know. But this too was told to us all that it would hold up the project to delete the zeros. Could it be fixed enough now?

3-22-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ I hear that every bank will have their own 800 numbers…so I will be sharing multiple 800 numbers.

3-22-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ I am feeling really good about this weekend guys...The rumors are that the RV will start late tonight…I am looking for possibly the trigger is pulled overnight on Saturday and then 800 numbers on Sunday. This makes logistical sense to me...My source in Iraq is expecting a rate change tomorrow….he says there is so much excitement in Iraq right now...Its not a question of "if" It's a question of "When"...if it doesn’t happen by tomorrow we are still at an anytime basis...I still think the back wall is April 1st…but I think it will be already done...

3-22-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [Does pegging the American dollar to the dinar make the dinar go up in value faster ?] When its pegged it can't go anywhere. The primary reason they do this is for stability which is a condition under IMF Article XIV.
3-22-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn I don't care how it comes out to be honest just come out...it would raise to how the investments come in. I don't think it would take forever to get to where we can make money. I find it interesting how Iraq is buying gold for their reserve. that would also help with their currency and stability. ...it has been a long road but they also have made a lot of progress too...not saying they don't have a ways to go but someday there will be a finish line. Hopefully not that far away, time will tell.
3-22-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] ...we know that things are happening to bring this to a conclusion. We know certain dates. We know certain things that are happening...we know even though the rates have been fluctuating somewhat over the last few days, they been moving up. The Dinar rate has been moving up. When the Dinar goes up in value, the Dong also increases...We know the Dinar rate is expected to be between $8 and $9 by tomorrow morning [Friday]. ...I believe it is known throughout the globe in many banking institutions that the RV...has initiated and it is moving thru, and it is coming to us. ...I am very excited about that...I am highly expectant to get some good news very shortly.
3-22-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...we are in a very good place within the place we are in now with MRs. Add in Mahdi is in Cairo with Jordan tomorrow... Egypt and Jordan are huge trading partners. Is Mahdi getting accolades, from possibly what he did today the 21st of March at the beginning of Norouz holiday to end at the end of the holiday, just as the neighbor [Kuwait?] did in 1991? Well time will tell, but, be sure imo things are in alignment as far as I can tell...
3-22-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...two articles...confirm the plan for the currency as we have said for years. It will not RV or RI, but will gradually rise over time via float. These articles are simply stating that the government is going to begin to take action (like passing laws) which will have an effect on the CBI (and exchange rate). IMO, Still weeks maybe months. Exciting news for sure but this still takes time. First we need the laws, then the investors/investment, then pressure on the capital account at the CBI, then the float to offset that pressure. Remember...the CBI is in control of monetary policy. And the government is in control of activating investment/investors. The tool the CBI uses to combat inflation is to float the dinar. This all takes time.

3-21-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling Iraq needs the price per barrel to be at $57 to pay for their economy. But to pull it out of the ground is much cheaper…they’re probably pulling it out of the group for $9 or $10 per barrel and then putting it on the market and the market price is $57.
3-21-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty Iraqi MP from Fatah Coalition says Parliament's schedule for next week does not contain a vote on vacant cabinet positions. However, he thinks there will be a vote in the following week. Still disagreements among political blocs about cabinet positions.

3-21-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling Question: What do the Iraqi’s need to finish for it to revalue? As far as legislation and policy absolutely nothing… I still don’t understand why they haven’t revalued or simply haven’t started adding value to it. I don’t understand that…the real price of the Iraqi dinar comes from the CBI. That’s all you need to know.
3-21-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 & Walkingstick With the cancellation of these contracts, and the rewriting of them, well there’s no doubt, yeah, we trapped them. We SEALED IT! For the rate to...show itself to us. ...if they do come out and pay us 300,000,000 dinars or 300,000 USD, well then they tipped their hat to us, that the rate is 1:1 that they are calculating with. Or they simply don’t care about the public knowledge of the reinstatement of their currency. Everybody knows what they’re doing. This financial action, is in the contract, is in the pay of the citizens that work for Walkingstick’s firm. For all his companies. For all the citizens getting paid. And it’s not a mathematical mistake. It is the reinstatement of the IQD, in the change of their exchange rate. And they will tell you when it’s official and when it’s done. As much as you can see and transparently right through it, as if it was casper the ghost. You know very well what’s going on. You just don’t know when they’re going to announce it. THAT’S IT!!! This reinstatement feels so close, you know why...? Because it’s not a secret. [post 3 of 3]
3-21-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 & Walkingstick ...Now, when they changed them, last week, WS [Guru Walkingstick] firms lawyers got involved, in the rewriting of the contracts. And what it boils down to is they use the wording in the contracts they have received to guarantee 1:1. The contract says very plain and simple: for example a $300,000 USD contract, when they pay us (WS firm) it is to be paid equivalent value of IQDs. They have two choices they can either pay us 300,000 American Dollars or they pay us 300,000 IQDs equivalent to American Dollars. And the only way they can do that is if they paid us at 1:1. These new rewritten contracts that still contain a 1:1 rate, are due to be paid to us in the next 5 days. If they do pay us to the equivalent of the American dollar, 300,000 IQD, then that’s the 1:1 that has been factored in to the redomination, into the revaluation, into their revaluation numbers...And time will tell us whether or not we painted them into a corner. ...But if they pay us 300,000,000,000 (billion) dinars, we know that they have not changed the numbers...We shall know by Friday.

They paid for the 30-day contracts. The more recent contracts on the 30 and 60 days have just been cancelled. They were just cancelled this week to be rewritten. They complied with some of the contracts. But they cancelled the big ones, the latest ones, but they were rewritten in the same manner. Will be paid at 1:1. When they cancelled and rewrote them, they kicked the can down the road. They rewrote them better. ...They were written in the same manner as the ones on December 28, to be paid in USDs, or the equivalent IQDs with the exchange rate. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]

3-20-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Also I want to remind you that...parliament passed the law to allow more independency in the CBI, not that legally they don’t already have it. But when the GOI keeps holding them back, they needed this law to get over all this corruption.

Article: "PARLIAMENTARY FINANCE COMMITTEE IS DEVELOPING MECHANISMS TO CHANGE THE COUNTRY'S FISCAL AND MONETARY POLICIES IN COORDINATION WITH THE CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ" So here is it in black and white, the news of the RV we have been waiting for in anticipation...Just like I told you...

...

3-20-2019 Intel Guru Bruce A lot of things have come in here the last few days. ...We know Iraq is basically complete with everything they were supposed to do. We know on the screens today that the Dinar was fluctuating... ...Rates have been adjusting upward...they are still adjusting...We are expecting the Dong to be pretty close to $7 or more on the front screen...The Dinar will be good. It will be higher obviously. Maybe not a whole lot higher though not initially. I think it will climb after it is brought out and after it has been traded more than it has so far. ...We are about to embark on I think some major things happening...we are looking at the possibility of things happening by Thursday for us...We got a lot to look forward to the next couple of days. I really believe we are on our way.
3-20-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 SOMETHING HAPPENED TODAY AND OUR NEWSHOUNDS ARE BRINGING IT TO YOU...IT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT. Article: "Parliamentary move to raise the price of the dinar and maintain the stability of inflation" Quotes: "The Parliamentary Finance Committee is moving in the current legislative session to develop mechanisms to change the monetary and monetary policies in the country, in coordination with the Central Bank of Iraq, aimed at raising the dinar exchange rate and maintaining the stability of inflation."; "the change will raise the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against foreign currencies while maintaining the stability of inflation In the country".
3-20-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "THE PAPER AND METAL CURRENCY AFTER 2003, WHICH DID NOT SUCCEED IN TRADING AND WAS CANCELED" I would consider this an early phase of educating the citizens about the currency. Remember that in 2015 coming close to January 2016, the CBI told us they wanted launch the 100 coins but later decided not to. ...I believe they are getting ready to launch these 25, 50 and 100 very soon and are telling the citizens to watch out for the “cancelled” 50 dinar notes from 2003 no longer valid and that here are the pictures of the coins that are valid and coming soon. This is PERFECT too since we know that are going to slowly launch these smaller categories as the market dictates...

I think it will climb after it is brought out and after it has been traded more than it has so far. ...We are about to embark on I think some major things happening...we are looking at the possibility of things happening by Thursday for us...We got a lot to look forward to the next couple of days. I really believe we are on our way.
3-20-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 SOMETHING HAPPENED TODAY AND OUR NEWSHOUNDS ARE BRINGING IT TO YOU...IT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT. Article: "Parliamentary move to raise the price of the dinar and maintain the stability of inflation" Quotes: "The Parliamentary Finance Committee is moving in the current legislative session to develop mechanisms to change the monetary and monetary policies in the country, in coordination with the Central Bank of Iraq, aimed at raising the dinar exchange rate and maintaining the stability of inflation."; "the change will raise the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against foreign currencies while maintaining the stability of inflation In the country".
3-20-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "THE PAPER AND METAL CURRENCY AFTER 2003, WHICH DID NOT SUCCEED IN TRADING AND WAS CANCELED" I would consider this an early phase of educating the citizens about the currency. Remember that in 2015 coming close to January 2016, the CBI told us they wanted launch the 100 coins but later decided not to. ...I believe they are getting ready to launch these 25, 50 and 100 very soon and are telling the citizens to watch out for the “cancelled” 50 dinar notes from 2003 no longer valid and that here are the pictures of the coins that are valid and coming soon. This is PERFECT too since we know that are going to slowly launch these smaller categories as the market dictates...
3-19-2019 *** Dinar Guru News Update *** It appears the Iraqi Dinar has been maintained the IMF 2% rule for the Baghdad Market rate vs Official rate for 1 year. (The CBI has reported compliance in the full Iraqi Market for 5 months). This is a very long period of stability for the dinar! You can always see the CBI Market and Official rates on the left of this page. The latest guru posts will continue below...
3-19-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [Have you heard that IRANIAN Influence is still a factor of holding up the reinstatement and monetary reform?] Yes I have heard that in the past….the concern in Iran was if they were going to continue to sponser terror…I think that has been handled now.
3-19-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...when they think that the CBI has the adequate reserves (and other things) this will give the CBI sound reasoning to go for the reinstatement. In one of the articles today once again they told us they would the “3.3” ($3.30) rate back to the dinar. ...they will probably go beyond that. I quote from the article... “Iraqi state budget was 11 billion dollars and the exchange rate of the dollar 3.3 and today the state budget 450 billion and the exchange rate of the dollar is 1189 dinars.” I think we could possibly be in a window...

3-19-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat “WHENEVER A RESERVE OF HARD CURRENCY IS INCREASED IN THE STATE TREASURY, THE VALUE OF THE LOCAL CURRENCY RISES.” WOW! Could this also be yet another reason why the CBI is waiting to RI? They need for the reserves to increase? Remember that when Dr Shabibi was about the RI way back in Jan 2013, the CBI reserves where at a all time high of 90+ billion. We know the war with ISIS has brought the CBI reserves down to a dangerous level of about 45 billion. Last we hear the reserves recovered and were about 60+ billion and climbing...

3-19-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 US Banks - One source says the final rates are not visible, but temporary rates are still intermittently flashing.

3-19-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 "Supposedly" new release codes were to be released to the banks on last Friday after the market closed for Monday morning effectiveness. We are still awaiting more information on the status of said specific codes. Iraqi TV is broadcast Cleric Sadr talking about starting up an effort to replace PM Madhi due to failing to complete the government by now. He also proposed bringing Abadi back as the Prime Minister. Parliament moved it's March 23 session to Sunday, March 24 citing a holiday schedule conflict. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
3-19-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [Are your contacts in the CBI?] My contacts work closely with the CBI. What makes most sense to me is an RI (re-instatement) of the old rate and then let it float up to correct for inflation. My person on the ground in Iraq - as of yesterday says the new rate is not posted in the Gazette yet. We are definitely watching around the clock all week long…so many people say we are there. The news is pretty solid. If anything big happens today I will...be back tonight…if not I will update you all tomorrow morning…. [post 2 of 2]
3-19-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [I've heard rumors that when this happens and hits 4X that could drive the value up to as much as $8 and then it would settle back to where it should be. what's your opinion on that?] I absolutely agree with that…When Kuwait released…I think around $2.50 and the rate drove up to over $9…With this RI in Iraq - I think there would be a more structured increase. With this exchange with Iraq...it will be for oil credits. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
3-19-2019 Newshound Guru Don961 Article: "Al-Araji: Sadr may launch a project against the government of Abdul Mahdi and Abadi will return" Quote: "The political ground is ready for Sadr's reform project," he said, adding that "there is political and popular discontent towards the government of Abdul Mahdi." He added that "Abdul-Mahdi does not have the tools to implement his government program" "He said.
3-19-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty In Iraq, source close to Muqtada Sadr says Sadr considers PM Abdel-Mahdi a failure & that his government will likely fall soon. Sadr is signalling this to political blocs. PM has done nothing.
3-19-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat The news pouring out of Iraq now is all about Iranian influence and how it is negatively effecting Iraq and the currency reform process. When we see such a number of articles concentrating all on the same topic, we can see clearly that this is what they are working on now and need to resolve. ...This area I totally see how it is impacting on holding back the currency reform, the project to delete the zeros and the reinstatement and so it got my attention. We may be coming to an end to this fiasco of holding back the reinstatement after all if this newest effort will work. So, we sit tight and wait for anticipation.

3-18-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Article: "Keywords calls to stimulate the real sectors in the country to raise the pressure on the central bank" I am still riding high...on that CBI article I posted over the weekend. The CBI was very clear they want pressure in the article from last weekend. In fact Alaq said "pressure." If you put that in context for what the CBI does (monetary policy)...it is very clear what they saying. I am still hopeful by mid summer Iraq will be ready to begin reforms.
3-18-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ I can find no movement over the weekend. The rumor is banks have received the packages…we have been told by banking contacts that everything goes down between today and Wed. ...I am taking news from banks with a grain of salt…. [... Is there a back wall date?] I think the back wall is the end of March. [Is the QFS (Quantum Financial System)in place to protect our exchange.] I hear it is. ...I hear everything is ready.

3-17-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [your opinion on dela rue machine, or let them send it away, to be verified.] After talking to a treasury contact ...and a number of banking contacts…they told me to NOT LET OUR CURRENCY OUT OF OUR SIGHT…so that’s what I am going to do.
3-17-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "COOPERATION OF AMERICAN COMPANIES TO ENTER IRAQ, ESPECIALLY IN FOUR PROVINCES" Quote: "This year will see a great opening and a clear renaissance in the country." This is all fine but how will the companies transfer funds in and out of Iraq? Will they want to convert dinars to US dollars in the currency auctions? I don’t think so…They will want to do through the banking process and they use FOREX. Oh – but the rate is not yet on FOREX.
3-17-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ Historically RVs have happened on a Tuesday or a Thursday... We were told ...way back when that we would go to bed on a sat. night and rates would change and we wake up Monday to all new rates.
3-17-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn the pressure on the CBI is a good thing...they talk about opening the ATM machines to pay salaries and such. If we look at the destruction that happen over there I believe they need more banks with ATM so the customers can get to their money, this will take time and this might be the reason they are taking their time. but then again the seating of the rest of the cabinet might be part of that too. I'm just not sure that is a requirement for Iraq to move forward. We will see, soon. I hear parliament will meet again on the 23rd, we can only hope they can get them seated.
3-17-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Folks need to understand, Iraq is not going to raise the value of their currency arbitrarily. If it goes up in value it will be because the world helped Iraq rebuild and prosper. New central bank article today calling on the politicians to stimulate the real sectors of the country putting pressure on the CBI. This is what I have been saying all along!

3-16-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn they have raised their currency one time since they were put of the artificial rate that went from 3000 to 1200...they have floated with the dollar since then. once they go into Art 8 and come out to the world...that all will change...

[So Trump and Warren Buffet have dinar?] Yes…and if anyone thinks you are crazy – point this out that 2 of the most knowledgeable investors around think this was a solid investment. [You still think we wont pay taxes on our exchanges?] I defiantly still think there will be no taxes on the exchange.

3-16-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...substantial investment will cause pressure on the CBI. This is why the CBI needs a tool to counter such. That tool is the a liberal exchange rate regime (float) to allow the gradual appreciation of the currency to offset such pressure. ...look at the bigger picture...Iraq needs investors/investment ...billions of dollars to rebuild, create a market economy. That will create economic pressure and the solution to that is to raise the value. [post 2 of 2]
3-16-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Iraq needs to complete the government and parliament needs to pass the laws before it can open up to investors/investment. Nobody coming otherwise.

Time will tell...and pressure is on them to open the economy. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
3-16-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ My guess is reset this weekend and 800 numbers this weekend and exchanges to start Tuesday through Thursday. [After we RV will there be time to buy currency that will be in the 2nd basket before it RV's?] Absolutely- I plan on investing in the second basket...some of those countries are just not ready yet. [Have we ever been this far in the process so far?] Hell No we have never been this far before...exciting things are happening all over...I am still 99 % sure it will happen this month… We have never been this close… I am 99.9 sure we will see it this month...

3-15-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...the CBI...must wait for the GOI and IMF to give the green light. I was told that no smaller category notes have yet been launched only more of the existing 250, 500 and 1000 notes in the ATMS...but what about the much lower 100, 50, 5, 10 and fils? Yes, this is an important question to ask for as far as Iraqis are concerned the lower denominations are out already but not the ones we are looking for... [post 2 of 2]
3-15-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...On Wednesday I called my source in the CBI and had a chat. I am not hearing of any target date for this week or over the weekend to reinstate the dinar on FOREX...Again, I am telling everyone we are just now waiting for the last 4 ministers to be seated (especially the interior minister) as the Iraqis have been told many times they need a “fully” formed and functional government or they will not be allowed to reinstate the currency...Meanwhile I am told the CBI is ready and has been ready. They have had a lot of cleanup on the banking and currency fraud with the currency auctions. But at the point it will NOT stop the reinstatement once approved. They need desperately to move forward... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
3-15-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] We should be good for this weekend. I am still hearing that...the weekend being Saturday and Sunday. What I am hearing today has been very positive...I also know through good sources that THEY SHOULD allow us to set up appointments Saturday for our...exchanges. It could be Saturday or Sunday, but I am hearing more emphasis on Saturday...That is really as closely we can talk about it without calling it per se...I feel really good everything is coming together. We know...the Dong has been traded up. We know it started pre-trading two days ago. The Dinar is trading up. It started pre-trading 3 1/2 days ago. ...we have been preparing for this for a long time...It is in the wings. It is on deck. It is almost ready to step up to the plate with us. I am excited about it.
3-15-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana That's nothing to concern us, of course. In fact, with the steady progress we're seeing in all other areas, the prospect of a currency value change at the start of Iraq's Q2 is a pretty reasonable thought. In other news... not much I can say right now! Parliament is in session and WORKING. We don't have an announcement, but all of the clues are saying *soon*. I'll be monitoring... [post 3 of 3]
3-15-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana One item that is of note, and may push us out just a little bit, is the budget/fiscal year. There is a LOT of accounting to be done with any kind of monetary change, and it would certainly make things cleaner to change the rate on a specific date that coincided with something logical like the start of a fiscal year or quarter, or perhaps the beginning of a new budget, or something like that. We are a couple weeks away from the end of Iraq's first fiscal quarter. Their fiscal (XYZ) can be a bit confusing because they don't get the new budget out until after the new fiscal year has already begun, and in the past they have stated that surplus in the budget applies to the following year. Oh, there's nothing like proper planning, where the first three months of the year you have no idea what's in your checking account or what bills are in the mailbox. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
3-15-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Oil saw a nice upward spike yesterday. We're not quite to $60, but the trend is still positive. I expect it to pull back a tiny smidge, then continue the steady pace in this direction...I'm not saying "the day OIL hits $60, we will have an RV"! $60 was the direction I wanted to see, and we're basically there. As long as the current trend continues, we are in the (green) zone. Steady and controlled oil prices, + steady and stable GOI, + some HCL goodies...that's what we're looking for, and it keeps coming!

3-15-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So far, no voting in parliament on the last 4 ministers. Saturdays promised voting was not completed and postponed yet again. However no new date was confirmed or announce right away. Article quote: "The candidate of the Minister of the Interior has not been agreed upon so far, but Fayadh officially withdrew his candidacy." So another article says that the PM is now able to put his own selection of candidates forward and vote on them. We are told they plan to try again in Thursday 3/21.

As long as the current trend continues, we are in the (green) zone. Steady and controlled oil prices, + steady and stable GOI, + some HCL goodies...that's what we're looking for, and it keeps coming!

3-15-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So far, no voting in parliament on the last 4 ministers. Saturdays promised voting was not completed and postponed yet again. However no new date was confirmed or announce right away. Article quote: "The candidate of the Minister of the Interior has not been agreed upon so far, but Fayadh officially withdrew his candidacy." So another article says that the PM is now able to put his own selection of candidates forward and vote on them. We are told they plan to try again in Thursday 3/21.

3-14-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...an article that said they would not float the dinar...could be interpreted in two ways. 1. being they won't float (which makes no sense because they then would not have the tool they need to counter inflation as investment/investors come to Iraq, or 2. they are not going to float at this time (which may be what they really meant at the time of the article). And may be true...but that was months ago before the dinar was stable and in compliance...
3-14-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [Who are your contacts in dinar land?] I’ve been in this since the very beginning. I have contacts that are Contractors in Iraq, military people, retired military people... So many banking contacts, regional VP’s in banking, and contacts who actually help set up some of the redemption centers for a major bank for the dinar and dong…
3-14-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I can say that I have heard many rumors about the readiness for the launching of the new smaller category notes, however you would think that, if these rumors where true, we would see multiple articles on this topic in the general Iraqi news media prior to the event. We have NOT yet seen this. But also remember this does not mean this even may not be on the radar for the very near future either as we also know these smaller category notes may come in close proximity to the announcement of a reinstatement.

3-13-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [With Iraq Parliament saying the Prime Minister can choose the remaining cabinet members within 3 weeks, does this mean the RV can’t go until then?] they can absolutely move forward with the RV before they finish their government. ...It is not an “if” but a “when” for this to happen. This is such a complex thing they are doing but I believe we are in the “end days” of seeing this reset happen.

It was to go up from there as it was traded...The Dong was going to start pre-trading at one hour before the markets opened on Monday morning...What is interesting to me is the Vietnamese Dong is supposed to be as a result of China wanting it to be comparable to the Iraqi Dinar...How do we define comparable? We believe it means within 5% of the Dinar. That is a tremendous value not only for the Dinar as it continues to climb in value, but the Dong to be comparable to the Dinar is way more than we all thought it could be years ago.

That is part of the deal.

3-12-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni There are two ways to interpret what the CBI is talking about when they mention "deletion of zeros. It may be honest and part of the plan (when they interpretation of what they really mean applies) or it may simply be the CBI trying to diffuse speculation and speculators from buying the dinar. There is no way to know for sure until they open the economy and we find out. I have read articles that imply deleting 3 zeros is a LOP and others that imply that they will raise the value gradually down to the day the dinar is worth the same as the dollar...which implies a float and exchange rate improvement. Personally, I believe from my research the dinar will improve in value via float and that seems to coincide with Dr. Bakri in Iraq who has written me several times to discuss monetary policy... [post 3 of 3]
3-12-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni As for how fast the dinar could rise...just look back at 2004-2005 when the CBI under Dr. Shabibi unpegged for about 6 months and reduced inflation from about 33% to 5% or less raising the dinar exchange rate from near 3000 / $1 to 1170 /$1. This demonstrates the pace the dinar once again could have during the investment/market economy phase. But again, this process is up to how fast investors/investment comes to Iraq. It is not a random act. Again, many articles on this process to read from the IMF and other organization. ...Remember this is not some idea I came up with. The professionals at the IMF that work directly with Iraq have documented that is their intention for the CBI and the dinar. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
3-12-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Many think the dinar could never free float and must be some sort of manage float. They may be right! I ...do not really care what type of float it is other than that is how monetary policy works, floats are a tool that the CBI uses to counter pressure. Random acts like RV's RI's etc are not tools the CBI uses so we can rule such an event out. As well there are other reasons like money supply, economic shock that prevent such an event from ever happening. If they do float (which they will) the float will begin at whatever the current rate is at..such as 1190. The reason is simple...any other value would be a RV of sorts and not be within the tools the CBI uses. Not to mention, it would circumvent the CBI's ability to profit from the buy/sell of currency commissions. Which after all, is what the CBI is in the business of...making money. Central banks every single day control the sale of their currency to make money. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]

3-11-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [What are you hearing on the rates?] Rates on key currencies is what I have heard…no idea if they are correct….I hope they are…..i am hearing on the dong rates between $2-$2.20’s.

3-11-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So the parliamentary session was held on Saturday. The big question is - Did they vote on the remaining 4 ministers? NO voting was conducted as promised would happen. Go figure…This is very important because we know that there has always been a long-standing mandate to have a fully completed government prior to any reinstatement of the currency for Iraq. We know that much has been accomplished in the form of banking and currency reforms. It is believed that now any holdup in the reinstatement is purely political and so we wait.
3-11-2019 Intel Guru Footforward I believe...once attacks in Iran happen...in the country of Iran...when that happens I believe we will be within days of the RV happening...the revaluation of the Iraqi dinar.

3-10-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ I do believe that exchanging into a trust or LLC will make a non-taxable event into a taxable event. That is why I will not be doing it.

3-10-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Articles: "NASDAQ in New York City to raise the name and logo of the Iraqi market for securities"; "Communications: Launch of electronic signature next week" The above data is effectively telling us a few things. Firstly they appear that they are to begin trading with in the parameters of the NASDAQ, and is noted to be an historic event told to the world at the closing bell of the markets in the USA. ...They speak of electronic systems, networks and the speed of capital movement. Well to get those things, economic activities have to have modernized systems in place. They clearly have them and the ability to interconnect with them globally. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
3-10-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I...heard some ridiculous chatter about a LOP...If there was going to be LOP they would have already done it and not be sending out countless articles on the project to delete the zeros and valuation strategies. ...a LOP is not possible. Not in my terms but from FACTS from the CBI itself.
3-9-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [Has anybody seen a pic of the lower denominations on this side of the pond?] I have...its exciting to see they are real... [Is the new rate posted in the Iraq gazette yet.] I was told by a person sitting on the ground with a contact in the government over there that they are expecting new rate on Saturday in Gazette … I sure hope so…if true..this means we are done
3-9-2019 Newshound Guru Bloodloch I often hear that "this event" or "that new law" will trigger a change in the exchange rate of the IQD, but there are actually quite a few factors that can influence exchange rates. Bear in mind, exchange rates on the Forex, and purchasing power of a currency within a country, are two different things, although one can influence the other in dramatic ways.
3-9-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat There was a recent news article stating that 80% of all Iraqis still do not have electronic banking and bank accounts. ...this simply is NOT the case. If this was the case the CBI could not have already satisfied its goal of reducing the on street three zero note supply by more than 2/3 down to just over 41 trillion dinars. How many times have they told us the original count of dinars printed and issued in 2003 and now in 2019? So we confirmed many times that this statement of 80% is a lie and impractical. My recommendation to everyone is to relax and wait for the reinstatement in the coming period. No one will know the exact time or date but we do know many things effecting these two parameters and so we can almost figure it out. We are now in the window and I do not see the window closing.

3-9-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat The news today is all about the upcoming expectations to vote on the remaining last four ministers. We have to remember that a long-standing condition to reinstate the currency of Iraq is to have a “fully” formed government. This does not negate the other work on reforms too but I feel this is the last remaining item to conclude satisfaction to move ahead again with the project to delete the zeros. I have had word that the smaller category notes are already at the banks. ...so as the banks bring in the larger 3 zero notes they exchange them for the smaller notes. Since this is done way before any rate change, there are lots of smaller category notes obtained as needed to fulfill the needs of the marketplace afterwards. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
3-9-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [Frank26..had stated a while ago that the 3 zero's had already been deleted electronically?] ...i just take it as further proof things are moving over there…IF they are expecting new rates in the gazette on Sat which IMO would mean we r done! [We are not getting out of March without RV!] that is my belief...I do believe the RV is sooner than the 29th …We are in a perfect storm. [Any thoughts on rates?] I think we may see close to $6 on the dinar and $2 on the dong. Just my thoughts. [post 2 of 2]
3-9-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ ...Treasury contacts told me to tell you to keep your currency in your sight at all times…do your due diligence on everything…..keep your eyes on currency even at the bank when they are verifying it. There are lots of rumors from banking side expecting it to start overnight tonight [Friday] and 800 numbers tomorrow or over the weekend.

3-8-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana This is a topic we've been on top of since 2017, before the talk of OPEC agreeing to slowing oil production. The headlines would be more accurate if they said "Planned reduction in oil production to stabilize prices" But that doesn't get as many clicks, it's just not as sensational...even though it's the truth. And we've been expecting it, because we have been watching this sector through a fairly specialized set of glasses. Interpretation: All is going according to plan. And if all is going according to plan, then it's just a matter of time. ... we're not going to have an RV in the next couple days. Unless I'm wrong. I'm always open to that possibility! [post 2 of 2]
3-8-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana This has been an interesting week in the markets, but not so much for Dinar when it comes to actual news. There's a good reason for this. Oil has been pretty flat, just like the news on HCL. Step back and take a "big picture" view of the situation, and it's easy to understand that this is to be expected. I find it amusing to read the headlines that state "Oil production falls to (X time frame) lows..." Hang on a second, oil "falls"?! That's the headline? I don't think that's accurate. It's not "falling" - it's being controlled, exactly as they planned. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
3-8-2019 Intel Guru Bruce We are about the end of our 48-hour window I talked about on Tuesday that would theoretically expire by now, but these things keep moving and we have to be ready to receive that if this thing is moving and not always moving forward in our favor...Is there a way for us to get started before the weekend which would be tomorrow [Friday]? Possibly. ...All I can tell you is we are hearing some very good things that are happening tonight [Thursday]late and possibly overnight. Iraq is one of them. Let’s see how it goes for us. We know we are underway. [post 3 of 3]
3-8-2019 Intel Guru Bruce What is interesting to me...we know what the dinar was when it came off the screen and where it may come back to when it comes back on the screens, but most interesting to me is China has wanted the Vietnam Dong to be comparable to the Iraqi Dinar. That could be within 5% of the Dinar value...it does not say on par with which would mean exactly the same value, but comparable could be close to the value of the Iraqi Dinar. That takes the Dong way up above what we all thought that the Dong could be worth. Makes it quite interesting for us because we are looking at the Dinar that may come out at the $7 - $8 range when it comes out initially... [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
3-8-2019 Intel Guru Bruce ...Just when you thought it was safe to forget about Iraq, they are back...in the news. ...They have not had their rate on the screens...It hasn’t been on for at least 4 to 5 days? ...Should be back up somewhere around 11 o’clock or so tonight [Thursday]... ...Tomorrow [Friday]...they are supposed to release their ATM machines. They are supposed to pay on their new Qi, debit cards... When will they put their rate out? Will they put their rate out at that time? I do not know, but their cards will be working and their cards will have the rate on them. In a sense yes, but I think they will make it known probably make in the Gazette on Saturday. That is their regular publishing day. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]
3-8-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat They are not raising the rate (NO REVALUATION). ...They are going to reinstate the dinar and must fist complete the project to delete the zeros. A result of this process will be an increased new rate on the currency exchanges. Once reinstated the market will drive the rate up on the float. So our concentration is not so much on a rate increase but on a reinstatement process, the rate on FOREX will be the end result... [post 2 of 2]
3-8-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat [GOI has nothing to do with raising the rate...it is a total CBI decision.] Oh yes they do...I presented about 6 articles already from the Iraqi news media from members of the parliament, cabinet and economists in Iraq.

It just happens right now they are moving ahead rapidly on it. ...Dr Sianni Shabibi...said and I quote- "there must be a joint effort to make the decision and the CBI and GOI must work together" - but out of curtesy and not by legal commitment. This means the GOI may influence the decisions and has to pass laws to help the CBI with monetary policy. But the CBI make the final call, The CBI does not run the govt the GOI does.

3-7-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ Q: do you think they will see LD’s in Iraq this weekend? my contacts have seen the LDS…..they have held them …..folks that are working under contracts, so we are hoping they are out for everybody this weekend. Q: [Guru] Frank26 and his group had stated a while ago that the that the 3 zero's had already been deleted electronically? The movement, the education …everything they have told to the people….so much…It’s not a secret over there…everyone knows. ….it’s just a secret here…..there is so much in the news over there….
3-7-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ Q: some gurus say we only have 5 days to exchange, what’s the real story? I am hearing we have longer than that…… closer to a month, but we won’t know until we get there. Q: are your sources saying the next couple days are HOT for rv action? Heck YES!! They most certainly are looking at the next couple of days hard! Q: Have you heard anything about the RV can being kicked down the road another 9 months? No I have not heard anything like that. I have heard they want everything done by that time….finished…completed….our currency done and turned in by October….thats how I understand it...
3-7-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Parliamentary commission and investment confirmed on tv interview today that to revalue and delete the zeros is ready for implementation by the cbi after a five year delay due to security and corruption issues! Show me the money!!!
3-7-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn they seem to be going in the right direction, I can't wait to see what happens when Parliament meets.
3-7-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ ...I am beyond hopeful for this month and still hopeful we will see something overnight tonight or in the next couple days. [Do we really think the RV is gonna REALLY happen very very soon?] Yes I think its very very close…I wish I could share everything I know …this thing is so fluid.
3-7-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni If you believe monetary policy is based on sound logic and principals then you know the dinar can never arbitrarily revalue. It is my belief the CBI plans to gradually raise the value of the dinar as a tool to counter inflationary pressure created when significant investment comes to Iraq. Iraq will never redemoninate or LOP the currency. Monetary policy in Iraq the past 14 years has been a success not a failure. The next phase will also be a success which is to float the currency. But first Iraq must complete the GOI and pass needed investment laws. Completion of the GOI and the laws will encourage participation in Iraq's economy thus giving the CBI a reason to begin to float the dinar.

3-6-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ ...I am very confident that we are close…I am still expecting 800 #s this week. Based on what I am hearing we are very close...IMO it is imminent and it is moving… I am hearing some reset information was leaked to a very prominent Italian news source…this is a mainstream publication and on the mainstream news so imo there is no way to put the cat back into the bag now...that its leaking at this level is huge news… Look for a lot to move quickly ...I have heard that the reset will be on the down-low (kept quiet) for about 10 days to 2 weeks…then the news will come out… I do have a contact over there that has seen the LD’s… has held them ...and there has been articles in Iraqi news about the LD’s and how they will be using them...so much news over there on that. [do you think we are waiting for the Iraqi government to be fully seated?] No...As soon as this happens the Iraqi government will be very stable. ...I am like you all and am so ready to get off this roller coaster ride…
3-6-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 [via sunny] Yesterday they broadcast on TV stating cabinet selections will be completed by the end of the month. This morning they are broadcasting they will be completed in two weeks. All of us don't subscribe, to the cabinet has to be completed before the RV.

3-6-2019 Intel Guru Bruce ...It appears that there is just a few more things like what is happening with Iraq tonight that need to take place... The strange thing is the rate for the Iraqi dinar has not been visible on the screens. For a few days it has been off. We are not really sure what it will be when it comes in. It should be I think between $6 to $7 when it starts. It will trade up from that. ...I believe we are right there. If I told everybody my understanding is that we will be where we need to be which is appointments set, beginning our exchanges within 48 hours. ...that is how close I can call it without calling it. ...We are super excited. We are waiting to get started. [post 2 of 2]
3-6-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] ...we are in what is considered a slow rollout.

They got some coins to cover the lower amounts. Their dinar sort of follows on their lower denominations of what our money is here. Those ATMs are to be loaded and in play functioning before the Gazette release comes out tomorrow [Wednesday] morning. The Gazette release will have the new rate of the dinar and will have anything else that is pertinent to what is happening.

3-5-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn Looks like they are working on the corruption over in Iraq, this is good news...What I've been reading is showing they are working on corruption and security these are two of the main things they need to get a handle on. Article quote: "Iraq has been intensifying the security measures in the western regions to prevent the infiltration ISIS militants fleeing Syria." ...this article shows they are working on Security which we need to see if they are going to do something with their currency...this is all good news. ...when Parliament comes back if they get the laws passed for investors. and banking we will be looking good...IMO.

3-4-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn Article: "Iraq deploys 20,000 personnel in Anbar to watch borders with Syria:" IMO this is the reason why the US should not leave Iraq, Isis has lost in Syria and is heading back into Iraq, they don't want to see what happened before happen again. I think this month will tell us a lot about where we are at and going to be at.
3-4-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ ...Still hearing we are at a “any moment” scenario. I am expecting many disconnects today from the markets, from oil, from mainstreet to wall street…..it should be an interesting week. Everybody I know is still in place and waiting. I was reached out to by a number of sources yesterday and that makes me very excited… Some news I am waiting for permission to share. We are still in the window I was given which was from Saturday to late Tuesday Night. [On the scale from 1-10 10. Being the best, how would you compare how close we are compared to 2012?] I think we are sitting on a 9.9 on a scale of 1-10 as opposed to 2012. [what are the most current rates you've heard on dinar and dong?] The latest I’ve heard is on the dinar is Mid $4’s to Mid $6’s…and the dong I have heard will be in low $2’s. I will keep shaking the bushes and rattling the cages today for news.
3-4-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni So as we enter March there still is no RV or RI ...Why? Because there will never be a an overnight event. Monetary policy does not work that way. This is a process and as investment comes into Iraq the dinar will rise gradually via a float. It could take 6 months to a year or more to rise to a level we all are looking for.
3-4-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Internationalism...Can't hide it now... The Cat is out of the bag... Even the Governors of the Provinces and the Religious Authority is calling for distribution of the Iraqi wealth and now we see Citi Bank able to do similar distribution of timely payments through a chunky credit facility. These latest actions from the Governors meeting this last week on 2019 Budget allocations to be disbursed for re construction projects and Qasim al-Tai religious authority telling PM Mahdi to distribute the wealth to the citizens in a fair and equitable manner all around the same time frame of the passing of key laws this week. My bet on this is the Citizens are squawking even louder now that the Tariffs are being enforced. They signed this credit facility on Thursday of last week!!! Same day the Governors were meeting on disbursements to the provinces. See the the progress in play now? I sure do.. Man it looks good too! imo.
3-4-2019 Intel/Newshound Gurus Delta & MilitiaMan LIKE WE SAID...SMALL EXAMPLE PRICE JUST JUMB [JUMP?] 400%...Red meat, tomato prices rise as import tariffs bite...One kilo of red meat has risen on average by 500 IQD ($0.42) in Erbil and Duhok. But in Sulaimani, it has skyrocketed by as much 2,000 IQD ($1.68)... INFLATION IS MY BEST FRIEND...Now the Inflation begins... Massive pressure is coming now... That should bode very well for us now. ~ imo.
3-4-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ ...Still hearing we are at a “any moment” scenario. I am expecting many disconnects today from the markets, from oil, from mainstreet to wall street…..it should be an interesting week. Everybody I know is still in place and waiting. I was reached out to by a number of sources yesterday and that makes me very excited… Some news I am waiting for permission to share. We are still in the window I was given which was from Saturday to late Tuesday Night. [On the scale from 1-10 10.

3-3-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn Article: "Iraqis divided over continued presence of American forces" ...its Iran that wants the US out, but its up to Iraq to decide if they want us to go or not, I don't think they will but you never know...the part that wants the US to leave is backed by Iran, Maliki group, Ameri group...the Kurds have said they want the US to stay. ...stability will go right out the door and everything Iraq has been working on will go with it...If they kick out the US out of Iraq we can put our dinar away for a long time, Stability in the country will go right down the tubes and all the investor will leave, this is why I don't think this will happen but I guess we will see when Parliament comes back...its up to Iraq government to choose not the US. I believe the Month of March will tell us where Iraq is heading, we will all know soon enough.
3-3-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ There was a whole lot that happened yesterday, last night…and overnight...wow...so many positive things. ...I am going to call today “waiting on fruition day”. ...I cannot tell you the news coming out of the banking system but its beyond fantastic...it would be irresponsible on my part to tell right now. ...Many banks have spent a fortune getting key people in key places… based on what I can and cannot share I am feeling really good today. ...again...lots happened last night and more to come by Tuesday I am being told…
3-3-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraqi TV reports Parliaments' first session is rescheduled to Saturday, March 9, 2019. The vote/session that was SUPPOSED to take place on Monday, March 4 was already announced moved to Tuesday, March 5 and now gets shifted to Saturday? ...It is alleged that the Supreme Court informed that Parliament can vote on all ministries with the exception of Defense Minister due to it being under investigation. Iraqi TV is reporting that the CBI is saying that a fully seated government is needed for full move to international status. Time Will Tell on that one too. ...PRICES "SUPPOSEDLY" STILL BEING ADJUSTED... TIME WILL TELL!
3-3-2019 Newshound Guru larrykn [new Guru] I think the dinar will happen but we need to look at what Iraq is doing to get there...I've been in this 8 yrs now and I still feel its coming... If its not on the CBI site or Forex its not there period. [What do you think about [Guru] Kaperoni's thoughts?...a Float...] I'm not sure about it starting at were [where?] we are now but I do think it will float...here the thing I'm seeing, I hate to say it but I'm not sure your going to see a high rate to start it might take some time but once it happens it won't take that long to get there...as investors come in the currency will rise...I like seeing other countries are talking to trade talks with Iraq, we need to see that happen , that will put pressure on them to do something with their currency... stability is one of the big things we need to see happen, I see they are working on that now.

3-3-2019 Guest Guru BobTheTaxMan if you show a huge amount of charitable contributions that actually exceed your income it’s going to get audited. You can plan on it…good tax planning always has good records. As long as you are compliant with the rules and regulations imposed by the IRS you do not have to fear it…I think it’s absolutely phenomenally marvelous the changes that have got on for 18 to 19 which makes this investment we are all involved in, wow, it’s just a huge huge blessing. It’s going to be great! But you need to look at the other side of the coin. This is what the IRS is going to be looking for. Be prepared. Play the game. And you will win. [Post 8 of 8]

3-2-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling My definition and idea of what to look for and how much to cash in is completely changed. I never would have imagined with all the regulations and everybody so anti-fossil fuel the world is flooding with fossil fuels…but it’s completely flipped. What I’m saying is whatever the dinar comes in at just pull the trigger. It’s not going to get to $3.22. I know what Iraq said. I know what they said their intent was, but there is no way they could have imagined what the United States is doing today…we’ve become self-sufficient but we’ve started selling fossil fuels [too]. [Post 2 of 2]
3-2-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling …this is what Iraq stated they wanted to do. They wanted to get to a dollar. and then they wanted to reengineer their economy and get the dinar to $3.22…they told everybody…the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Planning, the CBI, the Parliament of Iraq all agreed and stated this is our goal, this is what we want to do…I don’t see that any more…people always ask me what’s the cash in? What should I do? Should I cash in just a little bit…? I’m not kidding. I do not see a path to $3.22. [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
3-2-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [Do we have to exchange in the state we reside or can we exchange in the state we're visiting at present?] I am being told you will be able to pick where you want to exchange…If you are worried about security, or your neighbors, or having people know you are sitting on a bunch of money…you can choose to go somewhere else to exchange so you are not in your local area, and come home and live a quiet life. Or exchange in your area and then move to where you want to be.
3-2-2019 Guest Guru BobTheTaxMan …If you made over a certain amount of money you did not get to use Schedule A. Period. That got taken out for 2018. There are no limits…Now charitable contributions: have been in the 30% to 50% allowable depending on your income. Now that’s changed. In 2019 it went from 50% to 60%. This means a whole massive amount of tax liability that would have occurred because of having this money you can write off as charitable contributions. Wow! That is freaking awesome!

3-1-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ I was asked why I do this….I was too tired of seeing people at their wits end and depressed….Way to many people I’ve seen giving up hope and about to give up their currency and that was just killing me. ...News has been intermittent…[Do I still feel good about where we are?] Yes I do . I feel very good about it. [I was told that the banks asked for one more day of training and that they the wanted the exchange to start tomorrow.] I am hearing the same from some sources….you have exceptionally good contacts….and that you are hearing this and I am also and we both have very different contacts is a very positive sign. I really do think we are close though based on very smart people involved in the process….
3-1-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Randy Koonce Based on the information I have been able to get, we could see it as soon as this weekend, but hopefully no later than the 3rd week in March. That is our latest, and hopefully the last window. For some of you the tax consequences will be significant. Pay your taxes, but also be wise in the speed and manner in which you exchange...Take your time. Be deliberate and intentional. Be smarter than you’ve ever been in your life. There will never be another opportunity of this magnitude in our lifetimes. ...ALSO this is very political so as I am very confident something can come up and delay. So do not quick breathing...We are close.. Every large bank will exchange... RELAX the RV is coming...Breathe...Check...CBI...every day to see if it has changed...

3-1-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Randy Koonce Ladies and Gentlemen of Dinar-Land. Please put your tray tables in the upright position, and make sure your seat belts are fastened. It truly looks like we are on the final approach and that our very long ride is about to come to an end. I hope you have given much thought to, and made very wise plans as you exit the ride. As you all are aware of, this Iraqi dinar revaluation has taken many unexpected and unplanned twists and turns. Barring another new unforeseen bump, we are looking at March to be our final month of waiting for this to happen. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
3-1-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 1. Some US banks are seeing rates on the back screen, but we're being informed that they are not the final rates. 2. Iraqi TV news broadcasted a spokesperson stating that a complete, seated government will be announced no later than March 17, 2019. 3. PM Mahdi reportedly announced on Iraqi TV that several ministers of his cabinet will be replaced due to their suspicious background. 4. Two reputable sources have reported to us that 35 Dinar is equivalent to $100 US in-country only. We await more detailed information regarding this process. 5. It is being reported to us that consumer market prices for goods services are being (or scheduled to be) adjusted due to rate changes. It is anticipated that fils (coins) will be effective with the new pricing structure in addition to the lower denoms that have been slowly trickling into circulation. Time Will Tell All!
3-1-2019 Intel Guru Bruce ...I believe yesterday for about 3 ½ hours banks had video conference calls where they were going through last minute protocols, last minute information. ...Rates are on screens... rates are going to be great. ...Everything else is just us getting started. We are down to that point. Everybody has signed off. Everything is ready to proceed...We are poised to get started I believe with our exchanges by this weekend. If we get pushed, I do not know it yet...That is where we are. We are down to the wire.
3-1-2019 Guest Guru BobTheTaxMan …And is it really worth cashing in all this dinar and ending up with this huge amount of capital and finding yourself under the gun scope of the IRS. If you have an exorbitant amount of income that show up, I mean a great big chunk, you can justify it, that’s not the problem at all, but I promise you if they audit you and you have not paid your taxes on it they are going to hit you with penalties and interests. And it’s going to be huge. Just be aware. If you take a lot out and your tax returns jump way up high you might set yourself up for an audit. Plan on it. It’s going to happen.

We are trying to find out more about the 2:86 rate in Iraq...from my contact in Iraq. There is no bad news..The banks think we will have liquidity soon... I am still looking for the reset at anytime but for sure within the next week or two. There is so much behind the scenes movement that I can’t share... ...Feb 25th of last year...even back then they were pushing for it in first quarter of 2019… [...is there going to be contract rates Internationally?] I have been told there would be contract rates all over the world….thats how resets or revaluations have worked all throughout history.

2-28-2019 Guest Guru BobTheTaxMan 2. …tax planning is absolutely critical…if you run out and cash in all this dinar three things are going to happen. ONE: You have to make dang sure when you cash in that dinar that you pay your taxes on it. Don’t let it get away from you. Calculate it. Pay it up front. Pay it quarterly. Pay it monthly. When you go get money out of the bank, pay taxes. Just do it. That way you don’t have to worry about it. TWO: Realize if you pull a lot more money and show on your tax return than what you ordinarily would have, you have lined yourself up for an audit. Part of the tax planning is…where do you draw the line? How much do you really need? What tax bracket do you want to live in? [Post 5 of 8]
2-28-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ [Have you heard that the slow roll-out has already begun?] Yes I have… [...can you tell me if you heard what I am being told about the 800#'s being put out very soon. I was actually told to be ready it is now any second.] I am hearing the same thing…I hate to keep telling you all that and keep you on the edge of your seats…but that’s what I hear.
2-28-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana We can certainly have an RV without the HCL, but doesn’t it make sense that a written agreement that guarantees a portion of the spoils to a major part of the Iraqi (bicracky) population would grease the wheels? I think so. ...Over the years, I’ve given more than a few deeper looks into my reasonings for the importance of the HCL but I hope I’ve also expressed that it’s not a “requirement”. The Iraqi dinar will increase in value with or without an official HCL. Personally I think the rate will be stronger with the HCL. Also personally, I’d be happy with a lower rate without an official HCL. [post 2 of 2]
2-28-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [...why must they pass the HCL law before there can be a revaluation of the dinar?] HCL is indeed merely a profit sharing agreement, and until there’s a decent agreement in place regarding profit sharing, we have a difficult road to travel for an RV, which is all about profit. The profits little people like us will see from a change in the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar are small compared to what larger institutions will realize. This is something that happens every day, and that’s not particularly important. What IS important is this; [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
2-28-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 ...We now have a confirmation 35 dinar equals US $100 which means there is a live rate of two dollars and 86.

2-28-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana We can certainly have an RV without the HCL, but doesn’t it make sense that a written agreement that guarantees a portion of the spoils to a major part of the Iraqi (bicracky) population would grease the wheels? I think so. ...Over the years, I’ve given more than a few deeper looks into my reasonings for the importance of the HCL but I hope I’ve also expressed that it’s not a “requirement”. The Iraqi dinar will increase in value with or without an official HCL. Personally I think the rate will be stronger with the HCL. Also personally, I’d be happy with a lower rate without an official HCL. [post 2 of 2]
2-28-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [...why must they pass the HCL law before there can be a revaluation of the dinar?] HCL is indeed merely a profit sharing agreement, and until there’s a decent agreement in place regarding profit sharing, we have a difficult road to travel for an RV, which is all about profit. The profits little people like us will see from a change in the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar are small compared to what larger institutions will realize. This is something that happens every day, and that’s not particularly important. What IS important is this; [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
2-28-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 ...We now have a confirmation 35 dinar equals US $100 which means there is a live rate of two dollars and 86. We wait and wait and wait but it’s going to be here at a much higher rate. [Update] RECEIVED ANOTHER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF 35 DINAR = $100 US IN IRAQ...ANOTHER GOOD SOURCE.
2-27-2019 Guest Guru BobTheTaxMan …But my suggestion would be don’t mess with it. take the conservative side. File it as ordinary income. Pay your taxes that’s on it. And keep your ear to the ground. Any kind of new changes that are going to come out in this particular arena the dinar crowd is going to pick it up and run like crazy with it. But most importantly if you have a half decent attorney or CPA who’s familiar with Forex they’re going to say “Guess, what?!” and then you go back and amend the return. So if you amend the return. You’ll get back the amount of money you didn’t have to pay taxes on PLUS you’ll get interest from the federal government and if your state…has an income tax they have to pay you interest as well. Hmmm…sounds like a good plan to me. The thing I like about it is that I don’t want to have to walk around downtown looking over my shoulder worrying about the IRS getting on my case….My invitation is to realize that if you elect to file capital gains you’re walking the line. That line could turn and snap you. If it does snap you it’s going to cost you more money. If you take the line and be more conservative and pay it as ordinary income whatever initial taxes you paid you have three years to recover. And within three years they’ll be some sort of an answer that will be well known…let it go. I assure you you’ll be a lot happier… [Post 4 of a lot]

2-27-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana I'd say things are still pointed the right direction. OIL took a tiny step backwards, but still tracking for a win if my target of $60 is correct. In addition to what I'm hearing from the other side of the pond, and what my own experience and insights conclude, I still believe that $60 mark is where we want to be headed. Hitting that price, on the current trajectory, is solid evidence of stability in the markets and will be reassuring to the CBI so they can take some bold steps. There is a low rumble off in the distance that sounds like an HCL thunderstorm, so we'll keep an eye on that.
2-27-2019 Intel Guru Bruce I have heard timeframes.

2-27-2019 Intel Guru Bruce There was a meeting in the White House, let’s call it that, with 5 key people one of which was our President...Documents were signed. At that point things were put off motion in a very real way... Since then what has happened is the Dinar came out. It was rolled out and it was officially recognized in- country...now today at a rate of $6.73. That is an in-country rate for the dinar. That is pretty strong. Our rate here on our front screen could be higher than that... substantially higher... Also the Dong was a little bit slower. It came up Sunday afternoon... It started and it was coming a little lower than it had been but it is still moving in an upward direction. So we can’t say it is not going to get back up to where we said it was.

2-27-2019 Guest Guru BobTheTaxMan It does not qualify [reference post 2] …I’m going to make it real simple for you. My research has shown this…It’s going to be treated as ordinary income and that’s that. Now, what would happen if you elected to do it as capital gains and file your return? Here’s what will happen…if you are incorrect and it comes back it will take two years before you hear from them. The amount of penalties and interest that is going to be accumulated over that two year time frame is…going to be big. So you have a choice. On my side I tell people treat it as ordinary income. Yeah you’re going to pay more taxes. That’s true you’re going to pay more taxes on it but I do know this much, within 3 years, because you have three years to amend that return to get money back, within three years somewhere along the line someone is going to get a Letter of Definition from the IRS that definitively says this is how we’re taxing it...and/or there might be rule changes in the IRS that converts this from ordinary income to capital gains.

2-26-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ A local bank in N. Carolina was said to be showing a rate of $4. Then it disappeared when they came back to exchange. We are sending people to local banks today and see if we can get anyone to exchange today... We want to see how many of them may have value showing on their screens and if any of them are willing to exchange. [what about 800# release for private appt...is that real or no?] 800# yes I believe they are a real thing... You will have a number of banks with their own 800 #s hoping you will come to them…I feel once we get 800 numbers it will take a couple days to make appointments...I always thought that it would be best to do this over a weekend…even a 3 day weekend because it would be better for liquidity...but there is no 3 day weekend soon which means they will just have to work harder and faster. ...I think we are on the cusp of everything happening and if I get news I will let you know.
2-26-2019 Guest Guru BobTheTaxMan 1. I have had a lot of people send me email saying, “ This person is saying this is going to be capital gains and NOT be ordinary income.” I’ve even been sent long convoluted processes someone has created for being able to move money in different ways so that the categorization was redone. I’ll tell you from my own studies, one of the things when I got into this thing over a decade ago…I spent a lot of time researching it. I contacted Several of my financial advisors who worked with their tax attorneys. I got the leading CPA of the east coast who deals in Foex currency exchanges and his research came up with the exact same thing that the attorneys came up with. And that is there are two ways that people might misconstrue that this is supposed to be taxed as capital gains. I can tell you right now from the research they did and my own research the dinar does NOT qualify. [Post 2 of a lot]
2-26-2019 Guest Guru BobTheTaxMan For those of us who have been riding this cotton picking train of the dinar for so long you couldn’t get a better tax opportunity than we have now.

The new rules brought in under the Trump Administration give us so much leeway and so much opportunity to be able to save on taxes, to share this with everyone we love, less consequences. The whole tax planning game has changed immensely because of the changes in 2018 and 2019…As Paul Harvey used to say, “Here’s the rest of the story.” There are some things about the IRS, particularly those who come into a lot of money in a hurry that have certain triggering points.

to talk about certain topics that could jeopardize my sources or the RV process.
It’s a matter of security. Just know there is movement and momentum...
I am hearing rumors that the rate has gone from the mid $4’s for us to
the higher $6’s. This rumor is coming from out in the desert area (the
middle east) . What we are really going to get- I don’t know but it’s exciting
to see movement. [...in your opinion will we see it this
month?] I do believe we will see it this month…..its going to be
close to the crossover into March but we will see it IMO...I have to
say this “any minute” waiting is driving me nuts…but I am very excited

2-21-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ They are 100% ready in Iraq , and 90% of all their problems are going to disappear as soon as the RV happens…In Iraq they were expecting it Monday and expecting it yesterday…they are still expecting it today . In Iraq they are asking folks to give up the USD’s and use those cards. The rumors are folks in Iraq have exchanged but no confirmation...my contacts say the rate still has not changed even though they are all talking about it on the TV and in the news...Everything is totally ready to go...they just need to release it all... I will be shaking the trees and rattling the cages all day today to find out some news.

2-20-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ It’s Wait and See Wednesday today. We still do not have word from Iraq whether or not the rate has changed. Hope to know more this afternoon. In the banking system – they are still expectant for anytime. Big banks are all done and ready with the new banking system. Regional banks are scheduled to be done updating to new banking system mid-March. We are planning on using the big banks to exchange and they are ready.
2-20-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana I spend hours every day researching and communicating with my people on the Iraqi Dinar, international business, asset protection, etc...There are people I work with who know how important it is to get me my information by Tuesday, and are extremely dedicated to their roles... Today is short and sweet. There is nothing negative to report - Parliament is working, OIL is still going the right way, and my gut tells me they are just kicking a few last details around. If something counter productive were to happen right now, I'd take a harder look at things... but that's not the case. Everything is lining up! Parliament: still working, and working effectively. OIL: still moving towards $60, and doing it steadily. The only thing we can ask for right now is that BOOM! HCL news. Keep your heads on straight! This really feels like the home stretch.

2-20-2019 Intel Guru Bruce Iraq is pretty much out of the conversation. All we are looking Iraq for now is where are their rates. We are seeing movement on the screens today.

Same thing on the Dong. ... something on the front screens about $5.00 or so on the Dong right now and somewhere in the $5.60 - $5.70 range on the Dinar. The Vietnamese Dong may end up when it settles in being within 10% of the Dinar. ...We are hearing very good things about this being our week...

2-19-2019 *** Dinar Guru News Update *** The CBI has crossed the 2% for 90 Days rule for the Iraq Exchange Market. The CBI had accomplished this for the Baghdad Market last summer. The CBI began reporting the Iraq Market rate on November 14, 2018 which included three decimal places. You can follow the Official rate and Market rate in the left column of this page. Some gurus feel these rate must be within 2% of each other before the IMF can consider the dinar for Article VIII. Stay tuned as the gurus chime in on the significance of this milestone. The latest guru post will continue below...
2-19-2019 Newshound Guru chattels Article: "Tuesday, February 19, 2019 Security In Iraq Feb 8-14, 2019" There was another week with few security incidents in Iraq. For almost four months now the country has averaged 20-30 security events each week and the second week of February was no different.
2-19-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni If and when the CBI begins to float the dinar it could take 6 months to 2 years to delete the zeros (raise the value enough where the zeros are gone). Remember if the CBI is going to do this event it will be in conjunction with investment capital coming to Iraq. The more capital the greater the inflationary pressure meaning the faster it could rise. The 2012 IMF Article IV Consultation with Iraq descibed the process and event as the Balassa-Samuelson effect.
2-19-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ To me its always been a question of “when” not “if” as I have seen so much going on in the background of this. I am very hyped up to see a change in value in Iraq this week. My contact in Iraq (Stewart) is hearing it may happen on Wednesday. ...Rates we all still hearing are $4:40 dinar …..$2 -2.20 dong… I believe the banks will be perfectly safe to exchange into. They have done so many upgrades and testing...I would not be worried to use the banks. I definitely do not think we will get out of February without seeing the RV.
2-19-2019 Intel Guru Delta [IMO, Once we see the Cab. members seated, we will see 3 zero deleted.] HOW ABOUT WHEN WE SEE 3 ZEROS DELETED...WILL SEE CAB MEMBER SEATED...
2-19-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Things have been pretty uneventful...the last few weeks or so because Parliament has been on recess. Look for things to pick up in March...

We hope to know lots more later today.
2-18-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I want to make one other point here too and that is the connection of the RV to the Iranian influence and militias. So how can they stop the auctions and launch the lower denoms and thus raise the rate if the militias are going to cause trouble and spread counterfeit currency only causing a disaster in the dinar rate anyhow. So like I have been saying all along, they must get rid of the Iranian influence if they are ever going to RV. [post 2 of 2]
2-18-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraq is reporting that the vote on the cabinet will be completed at the first session in March.

2-17-2019 Intel Guru MarkZ In Iraq: I have heard from a contact, not my contact.. they are saying there is all kinds of movements and announcements, but it’s being covered up for now. The people in Iraq were expecting to see big things this weekend on their monitary policy. I am still very excited to see the RV at any time….and I am not one to call it everyday. ...If the US keeps dragging their feet about releasing the RV- Iraq can just do it….they are already asset backed. They have been patient but Iraq’s patience is almost gone.

2-15-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana I'm actually very pleased to see the steady growth of oil, rather than a sudden spike. This "controlled growth" is exactly what I would want if I were Captain of the CBI, because it shows stability in the main area that needs it. All of these things are coming together for us, creating the perfect situation. Obviously things can, and will, come up. I don't have an exact date for you, and I never will.

NOTHING has detracted from the good news on HCL. WE STILL have momentum on the budget, which is currently WAY AHEAD OF NORMAL. And I'll sweeten it up just a little bit with this - you remember that $60 mark I mentioned about a month ago? YEP, STILL GOING THE RIGHT WAY! Oil is creeping up on $56 as I write this.

2-15-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] ...Let’s start with Iraq...Their ATMs are lined up and ready to go...they are finally going to activate their ATM machines...So that would mean the ATM machines will be able to take Iraqi dinar, USTN, our new dollars, and be able to convert those also to Iraqi dinar also. That is supposed to start on Saturday...we will see how that comes out. ...I think the oil and gas law is to be put into action and into law...I believe the voting is done on that. It has been done for weeks now, but as far as implementation of that law...it should occur Sunday or Monday in Iraq. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

All of these things are coming together for us, creating the perfect situation. Obviously things can, and will, come up. I don't have an exact date for you, and I never will. But that sure won't stop me from being excited about what we're in the middle of right now! Overall, things are just looking dandy. [post 2 of 2]
2-15-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana The RV train is still chugging along, with nothing but positive steam powering these updates...suffice it to say that we're in a pretty spot! NOTHING has detracted from the good news on HCL. WE STILL have momentum on the budget, which is currently WAY AHEAD OF NORMAL. And I'll sweeten it up just a little bit with this - you remember that $60 mark I mentioned about a month ago? YEP, STILL GOING THE RIGHT WAY! Oil is creeping up on $56 as I write this. That's halfway to my mark of $60...and going strong! [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
2-15-2019 Intel Guru Bruce ...let’s talk about screen rates today...as far as we are concerned rates are on the screens. They are moving up. The UN Operational Rate pages are available for the 15th and the 1st of the month...So those come up and should be good with our new rates for these many currencies we know and talk about, and should be applicable tomorrow, February 15th, be the effective date for the rates that are populating now. I think we have finally came to the end of this ride. ...I am excited about what could happen between now and Monday. Everybody just stay tuned. [post 2 of 2]
2-15-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] ...Let’s start with Iraq...Their ATMs are lined up and ready to go...they are finally going to activate their ATM machines...So that would mean the ATM machines will be able to take Iraqi dinar, USTN, our new dollars, and be able to convert those also to Iraqi dinar also. That is supposed to start on Saturday...we will see how that comes out. ...I think the oil and gas law is to be put into action and into law...I believe the voting is done on that. It has been done for weeks now, but as far as implementation of that law...it should occur Sunday or Monday in Iraq. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
2-15-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraq TV is broadcasting the United Nations giving Iraq a warning that further severe repercussions could result of their delay in forming their government. The Deputy to Parliament reportedly stated that all of the recovered money would be pointless to Iraq if it is not based on international rates thus enabling them to compete with the rest of world. ...Rates are again visible to some bank sources...Zim $0.24 - Dinar $4.43 - Dong $1.37. TIME WILL TELL what happens next!
2-14-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...Remember as I said many times we will see a rate change within Iraq as close to 1000 dinars or lower per USD first, then the CBI must launch the smaller notes or the economy will not have any currency they can work with. So now we see the CBI program rate as record lows coming into this week and so we should expect it even much lower and then the launching of first the 25, 50 and 100 dinar notes, as promised would happen at this time. Stay tuned it is all good. [post 2 of 2]
2-14-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "CURRENCY STRUCTURE: CENTRAL BANK PREPARES TO DELETE 3 ZEROS OF IRAQI CURRENCY" ...this article ...is only from Nov of last year...not too long ago. Okay so here is the beginning of the re-education process I said would begin a months before the reinstatement would happen. Remember the CBI must first wait for the right environment to launch the rest of these lower smaller category notes. Now they are telling us the time is just around the corner. This is exactly what we wanted to hear and needed to hear at this time. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
2-14-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...articles are out about CONTRACTS...They have to be adjusted accordingly...Let the CONTRACT's adjusting to a new rate sink in... The Pres signed the 2019 budget on the 4th... Note the articles about Contracts use the word Implementation... So aside from the time line, think about it. Contracts and pricing of goods, needs to be done as well. They imo won't or can't put pricing off for long.. We have not heard Taxes and Tariffs being put off or extended...Now think about it...02/04/19 and 10 days less the weekend of two days...Puts Kurds talk of 02/17 for implementation of T & Ts or even the federal budget law to install contracts, imo, right on time...
2-14-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...There no RV. Once the GOI is formed (Still missing 4 cabinet members), parliament returns, begins passing laws we may see the CBI move to a float.
2-14-2019 Intel Guru Delta Article: “After the adoption of a tariff as a unified customs .. Will the price of cars rise?” ...SO THIS TAX APPLY ONLY FOR CARS OVER $50K...OTHER PRODUCT WILL BE COLLECT BY DINARS AS I KNOW...BUT EITHER WAY THE PRICES WILL INCREASE NO MATTER WHAT AND THAT WILL CAUSE A HIGH INFLATION...BUT THE BEST PART AT ALL IS THAT THIS TIME THE TAXES ARE ON...FINALLY...

2-13-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "DANNAIR PUBLISHES THE FEATURES OF THE NEW IRAQI CURRENCY AFTER THE DELETION OF ZEROS" ...article from 2012. We know without doubt that the CBI under Dr Shabibi planned to RV in Jan 2013 and thus was educating the people on the new currency in 2012. This is they type of education we are still looking for... So we know the new smaller categories are all printed and ready to be launched since 2012.
2-13-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "The Association of Iraqi Private Banks Organizes a Workshop «Automated Taxation on Direct Deduction Tax" Electronic and automatic taxation..

2-13-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Article: "Barzani meets with Mahdi re: HCL (?)" For those of you that don't know, the HCL is possibly/probably the last thing we need to see for an RV. Quote: "the agreement will be signed between the leadership of the two parties soon" We all love the word "soon", but this time... it's looking very, very real. Quote: "the implementation of even two thirds of the terms of the agreement, which is scheduled to be signed on the 18th of this month" Two thirds or more is PLENTY to suit our needs! Quote: "The draft agreement includes 18 items... especially the proceeds of natural resources" FYI, this is HCL. Plain and simple. There is a LOT of excitement around here concerning the middle of the month. This is a big part of that excitement. I won't encourage anyone to get too excited, but I'm also not going to downplay this one... this is BIG. We are in the best situation for an RV that I have ever witnessed.
2-13-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. THE CBI HAS VATICINATED... PROGNOSTICATED THAT THERE IS NO DELAY IN THE LIFTING OF THE THREE ZERO'S FROM THEIR EXCHANGE RATE. FASCINATING... WHY ARGUE WITH THAT? ...WHY FIND BANDY IN SUCH AN INSPIRING AND FIRM POSTULATION? ESPECIALLY WHEN IMO...THE USA GAVE THEM THIS CONVICTION!!!
2-13-2019 Intel Guru Bruce ...my understanding was you have an Internationally known rate on their dinar. Did you realize Vietnamese Dong is going to be fairly close to the rate of the Iraqi Dinar on the front screens? I mean it could get within 8% to 10% of the Dinar. ...In fact China wanted the Dong to be on par with the Dinar, but i think it is going to be within 8% to 10% of it. So I will say this, the Dinar is fast approaching $7.00. That will give you some idea what I am talking about. ...We are looking very strong for the remainder of this week...I am going to say I am encouraged. I am excited. [post 2 of 2]
2-13-2019 Intel Guru Bruce ...sometimes i get information that is a little better than normal or it is different or gives us indication that something has happened that we didn’t know about before. That is sort of what happened today. We got little bits and pieces of things that pointed together the timing which is in this week. It may not even not be two days away. It is that close...

2-13-2019 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf cbi has stated many times "restore and or increase purchasing power of the dinar" Many seem to think that statement means "restore and or increase purchasing power of the IQD", but it is not the case. Zambia increased the purchasing power of the Kwacha, by deleting 3 zeros.

2-12-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "IN RAISING AND ENHANCING THE VALUE OF THE CURRENCY DINAR PURCHASING POWER" So again we see that they are talking about withdrawing the dinar from the market place, as they have already done. Sounds like to me the realize that at some point they must increase the purchasing power, thus the rate.
2-12-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat 3. I want to point out that in 2003 we were told that the cash volume in the markets to be issued for the money supply was 170 Trillion. So we can now see once again they are maintaining well below the 2/3 (about 57 trillion) dinars withdrawal of the planned current cash volume, as part of the “project to delete the zeros”. So we can see they still have room to issue more currency, if needed to fulfill cash volume. But this is one tool they are keeping inflation down. [post 2 of 2]
2-12-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat A couple golden nuggets here in this article: 1. We find out they still plan to do the project to delete the zeros. 2. They did in fact plan to do it before now but it was postponed again. Timing of the article proves they did have it planned for January. Why postponed? ...I quote from the article - “but security events and the control of the state regulation on five provinces led to delay”. So we are NOT waiting for the economy to grow and the private sector to take over to raise the rate. Get it? [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
2-12-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan So, with the budget behind us and [Guru] Frank suggesting they are working it effectively backwards, therefore, in the coming hours, days, etc.., could be very eventful, as from the looks of it an announcement, 2nd article and rate may be all that is needed now. They told us they will have the borders prepared to get taxes and tariffs by 02/17/209... imo Keep in mind they we have been told over the years once implemented with an international calculation the income may be equal to the oil revenues...So, they are now apparently on board for this now to come to fruition. imo...Fascinating times...imo.

2-12-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Central Bank "fabricated" a channel of payment to Tehran to address the debts of gas and electricity" Data in this above article has information that is imo a follow up from [Guru] Frank and [Guru] Delta... They spoke of a continuation of Iran and Iraq's relationship. It is imo in stone and the mechanism is in place now. Iran said they didn't want the IQD in the past and now that has changed. They know when they rate changes both sides may benefit and biggly too. lol. They have a continuation of Financial agreements... As in past tense. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
2-12-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready [the budget is there now but why are we still here?? i guess the budget published is at the old rate] Again, new rate was never expected in the budget. Just as the US exchange rates are not published in the US budget, the Iraq exchange rates are not shown in the Iraq budget... Congress/ parliaments publish budgets. Banks/markets determine exchange rates.

2-11-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready Article: "The 2019 Iraqi Federal Budget Law has been ratified and published" Yes. Budget is official.

We are not waiting for 2021. Proof of this was the attempt by Dr Shabibi to reinstate back in 2012-2013. So relax!
2-10-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...the CBI banking conference (which was scheduled for last fall) and rescheduled for Feb 10/11 has in fact been postponed again to "summer 2019". Some have asked my opinion on this banking event and all I can say is the fact they keep postponing it must be a telling sign that they do not want to hold this event until all their ducks are in place. After all, they advertise "Iraq is open for business" and currently that is not the case. More work still needs to be done...ie currency reform, laws passed etc.
2-10-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraqi News: The federal budget is ready for implementation by the ministries and the governorates, although not yet published in the Official Gazette. The ratification by the Presidency of the Republic on the budget makes it considered an effective and enforceable law. This gives the ministries and the provincial governments the right to legally use the budget to implement their plans.

2-10-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan [...The investment conference, which is/was to begin tomorrow (2/10), has now been pushed back to this summer...??] Yes it appears as such and in my opinion, it was due to that they haven't shown the rate yet.

Those that were expecting the final rate ahead of the conference, knew in advance if the rate didn't change they would not be having one.. imo..

2-9-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraqi TV broadcasted a member of the Finance Department requesting that all ministries of the government receive a copy of the revised budget and to get it ratified and ready for implementation starting on Monday. Iraqi TV is reporting that the budget will be printed in the gazette "in the next two days" and will be enforced immediately upon its printing. Iraqi TV aired footage of US troops patrolling downtown Baghdad today. US Banks are reporting an "expectation" of exchange activity possibly as early as Monday. Reported IQD screen rates are varying from $4.43 to $4.60...depending on the source. Trying to confirm a possible rumor of exchange activity across the Pond...standby for that one, it could take a while.
2-9-2019 Intel Guru ADMINBILL TO BE CLEAR I AM NOT SUGGESTING THIS WEEKEND. I READ THE TEA LEAVES AND THE INDICATORS ARE POINTING TO SOON. IT'S THE WHEN THAT WE ALL WANT TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO AND ONLY THOSE IN CONTROL KNOW....AND THEY MAY BE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT TIME. Yes indeed. Another weekend is upon us in Dinarville. But Wait...is there light at the end of the tunnel? My oh my...There IS and it's very bright and getting bigger!
2-9-2019 Newshound Guru ChrisC ...I think WS [Guru Walkingstick] thought this was going to happen last year because it was supposed to and Trump planned for it to. However, as W [Guru Walkingstick] found out with Maliki, Iran swings a big stick in Iraq and these people are hard to control. Realizing that asking politely and even giving them gift upon gift was not going to work, Trump came up with a new strategy...Trump realized he had to choke out the source...I think all of these sanctions that have made them see stars and tap out was to force them to see the RV as a solution and not something they should continue to interfere with. He now has Iran HAPPY to get dinar and looking forward to it rising in value...
2-9-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...I did not say the budget is holding up the RI. ...I said it is foolish to put any one event to say it is holding up the RI... No one knows the date or timing. ...There is no evidence right now that there is any target to RI soon.
2-9-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Iraq, New Iranian Central Bank / "New currency" map is on its way?" As Frank [Guru Frank26] is saying INTERNATIONALISM is the theme... Converting Dinar into other currencies like the Euro, Ryial, etc.. The AMF is having a meeting on Saturday in regard to Financial Developments. Well what Financial Developments are staring at us..lol. WS [Guru Walkingstick ?] data imo is AMF / AAD - IMF / SDR 3x type of developments that need to be discussed. Kinda like a huddle just before executing the big play.. We shall see.. Shall we not? lol. Is the NEW CURRENCY map on the way, mean the new currency of Iraq is being delivered or has been around the world? Keep in mind Iran told us they did a deal with electricity today and the payments are settled.. In other words past tense...imo.

2-9-2019 Newshound Guru ChrisC ...I think WS [Guru Walkingstick] thought this was going to happen last year because it was supposed to and Trump planned for it to. However, as W [Guru Walkingstick] found out with Maliki, Iran swings a big stick in Iraq and these people are hard to control. Realizing that asking politely and even giving them gift upon gift was not going to work, Trump came up with a new strategy...Trump realized he had to choke out the source...I think all of these sanctions that have made them see stars and tap out was to force them to see the RV as a solution and not something they should continue to interfere with. He now has Iran HAPPY to get dinar and looking forward to it rising in value...
2-9-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...I did not say the budget is holding up the RI. ...I said it is foolish to put any one event to say it is holding up the RI... No one knows the date or timing. ...There is no evidence right now that there is any target to RI soon.
2-9-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Iraq, New Iranian Central Bank / "New currency" map is on its way?" As Frank [Guru Frank26] is saying INTERNATIONALISM is the theme... Converting Dinar into other currencies like the Euro, Ryial, etc.. The AMF is having a meeting on Saturday in regard to Financial Developments. Well what Financial Developments are staring at us..lol. WS [Guru Walkingstick ?] data imo is AMF / AAD - IMF / SDR 3x type of developments that need to be discussed. Kinda like a huddle just before executing the big play.. We shall see.. Shall we not? lol. Is the NEW CURRENCY map on the way, mean the new currency of Iraq is being delivered or has been around the world? Keep in mind Iran told us they did a deal with electricity today and the payments are settled.. In other words past tense...imo.
2-8-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat 4. Abdul Jalil is asking – Why did we do all this international banking reforms and comprehensive electronic banking reforms, if we are not going to raise the zeros from the currency? He alludes to the fact that he thought this was part of the reason for all this past work. So where is it then? Why is it taking so long. Do we need to get the GOI involved to force you to do it? 5. Abdul Jalil attitude on this article puts pressure on the CBI to respond. We all need some positive news on this project. WE have not heard anything from the CBI now for over 3 months. Abdul Jalil is saying that it should not be the sole responsibility of the CBI but to get the GOI involved in the decision process too. I happen to know the GOI is involved and they are the hold up so it is NOT the CBI... [post 2 of 2]
2-8-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "RAISING ZEROS REDUCES THE MONETARY MASS AND NEEDS A DECISION FROM THE TOP" Abdul Jalil is telling us in this article many important points. 1. the banks are now making money outside of the currency auctions (loans, mortgages, card fees, etc..) and perhaps it’s time not to solely rely on the spread of the currency exchange for bank revenues, thus they can eliminate the auctions and get the project to delete the zeros done now (which includes reinstate the dinar); 2. not raising the zeros complicate contracting with companies; 3. can hold up the funding for the reconstruction efforts; [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Barzani meets with Mahdi re: HCL (?) "First visit... since the approval of (the budget)"... It's only been a week! This is moving, and fast.
2-8-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 ...we are very, very close! The RI of the Iraqi Dinar does not need the budget. The budget needs the reinstatement. That’s why everything is going before the reinstatement. That’s why it’s confusing to many people. They are doing this backwards because they have to. Everything is being set up...And that’s why the RI came out first and that’s why it’s positioned and that’s why they are International and about to make the announcement, IMO of course. The Iranian Central Bank is doing International transactions with Iraq with their own specific currencies. . ..There are a lot of things that are screaming International! Iraq is going in the right direction that the USA wants them to.
2-8-2019 Intel Guru Bruce Even though it has been relatively quiet for a lot of people, what we have received has been very good for us. ...We did hear Iraq put their budget which was passed in the Gazette yesterday. I do not know if everything they have done has been released to the world yet which is fine. At this point it is a moot point. We are not waiting on Iraq for anything... Guess what? For them to have a budget and to have it passed, they had to have a new rate which they do. I know the rate which are on the screens at the banks now. I know the rate for the Dong now. ...I mean this is happening. The rates are there. They are live. They are pulsing at the regular intervals, making the changes relatively every 18 minutes. That is normal. ...I am excited for us, guys. I am very excited for what is coming... I am excited because everything is in position to go. We should be on our way shortly. Let’s see what happens.

2-7-2019 *** Dinar Guru News Update *** The 2019 Iraqi Budget was officially signed into LAW on Monday. Article: "The budget for Iraq for Fiscal Year 2019 officially became law on Monday with the signature of Iraqi President Barham Salih." This is a milestone that needed to happen for Iraq to be considered a functioning country. IMPORTANT: Now we await the printing of the 2019 Budget in the Gazette so it becomes official law. Stay tuned as the gurus chime in on the importance of the budget law to a possible increase in the value of the dinar... The latest guru posts will continue below.
2-7-2019 Gurus Walkingstick, Delta & Frank26 ...the budget has the new rate. We also said that the rate if not shown in the new budget can be retroactive to the 1st of January, 2019. Whether it’s shown I don’t know. It could go retroactive. [Guru Walkingstick] has a contract of Dec 30th at 1:1. It cannot be at a program rate. We’re very, very close.
2-7-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 This accomplishment is another reason why we are very positive they are Article 8. IMO . . . the Gazette has the budget and the reason why IMO is they are about to reveal they are article 8. They are International! Dubai Quality, another ME International relationship. Dubai Quality has just announced early this morning that they have entered into a strategic partnership with the Central Bank of Iraq. Not at a program rate. It’s illegal. This is an International step. You are not allowed to walk into that environment unless they have lifted the three zero’s from their exchange rate. Dubai Quality, this is another example of Internationalism. [post 2 of 2]
2-7-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 International, International, International! All of this...is in my opinion. Means they have lifted 3 zero’s from their rate or they could not be doing all they are doing International right now...Donald Trump went over there and basically slapped them verbally. In the last couple of weeks all the things that have happened. Iran does not send money to Iraq. Iran steals money from Iraq through the central auctions and through the GOI that has their goons that have been stealing. All of that is gone. All of that is ancient history. We are International baby. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
2-7-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana OIL 54.00 +0.63% How can it possibly be more encouraging? If oil keeps trending, there is no stopping this!
2-7-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat The answer to this first question is also the answer to the second in that it is the US Treasury that will come around the banks in armored cars, as they do on normal runs, as pick up these physical IQD notes as they come into the banks. Once re-verified by the treasury department, they will be credited back to the banks. The banks will get a set allowance of $$$, probably daily, of funds from the treasury to use for this purpose of collecting these dinars or rather to help facilitate the trade deals. It is normal for the Central bank of the US to allocate funds to the banks for these purposes. Arrangements have been completed for this purpose... ...the government must come out with some mechanism to address informing us investors of where to appropriately go to conduct our exchanges of this currency... [post 2 of 2]
2-7-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat EXCHANGE PROCESS... Remember how the banks operate. They need to make a profit. ...So what...are they going to do with billions and billions of Iraqi dinar in their foreign currency portfolios of reserve currencies? They will need to sell the currency to someone with a spread to make any money off it. ...Also where are they going to get all the funding to make these exchanges? ...at this time the banks will already have a customer for the dinar. The US Treasury has already made arrangements with the major/main bank branches to buy all their dinar, if they chose to trade it. So the banks do have a customer and this is why they will be taking the dinar so easily. If it weren’t for this fact there is no way that billions of dinars could be traded and taken into the banks throughout the US by average walk-in citizens. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

2-6-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...I see that I didn't explain why the HCL is important. In a nutshell, it's important to the Kurds so they get a fair share of oil revenue, and ties in very closely to their concerns on the budget. Both of those issues are melting away, right in front of our eyes. With these two things lining up at the same time, we have the most perfect situation to see an RV that I've ever witnessed. RIGHT NOW is an amazing time to be part of this situation!
2-6-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...The dinar will never revalue or re-instate. It is a process that will take time. Once they get off the peg and begin to float.
2-6-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...We know that in order to conduct business with the rest of the world they must significantly increase the rate of exchange on the IQD when they do post it back. Like I keep telling everyone - the VALUE is found in the Iraqi dinar it is just that the RATE does not now reflect the true value as it is being artificially suppressed due to sanctions. Oh – but we know that officially the sanctions have been “fully” lifted already since 2018. So what is the hold up then? We know for a FACT that the month of January is the BEST (but not only) month to reinstate the dinar. We just witnessed two attempts to do it in January and both times the NSA (national security agency of the US) stopped it for security reasons. I am now hearing this was due to the sanctions imposed on Iran and that the US needs assurances in two areas before this can move ahead – 1)US forces are secure in Iraq; 2)trade with Iran will not be conducted in US dollars ...This all I know and we are still in a waiting mode to how all of this gets sorted out. [post 2 of 2]
2-6-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We are waiting for the opening of the 2019 budget to begin the reconstruction. In doing so we are hoping this will also inspire the reinstatement of the dinar so investors feel comfortable coming into Iraq and investing knowing the currency is worth something and they can easily trade it outside Iraq. The updates to the investment law of 2015 are also in place and so investors can now more easily transfer funds in and out of Iraq under the law. There are also international mechanisms in place to facilitate this action. But one piece that is really needed is to have the Iraqi dinar once again listed on the global currency exchanges...It was not until the UN resolution in 2003 that ripped the IQD off the exchanges. Now they must get it listed back on. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
2-6-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [With all that has happened they surely "can" RV and I as everyone want them to. However, what will make them want to do it now vs a month, or say 6 Months from now? What makes the trigger be pulled?] One set of letters: HCL. That, combined with the extremely positive budget. This is happening now, not 6 months ago, and not 6 months from now.
2-6-2019 Intel Guru Bruce The information over the last couple of days has been relatively little because whereas we have a number of sources that comes from banks, financial groups and institutions, and other providers most have gone entirely quiet...Either they are under an NDA or a gag order and they have been asked to stay that way. That is a very positive sign for us... I know that the rates have continued to rise slowly...We got good indicators of a slightly increase of the main ones we tend to follow...I think in this particular case if you are going to be looking for a front screen rate there is no hurry because the rates are going to continue to go up...It is going to be an interesting next few days...
2-6-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Published the text of the Budget Law 2019 after the ratification of the President of the Republic" Well, imo every citizen in Iraq, including the politicians are looking for the public announcement now on the results that should be found within the 2019 Budget. The rate for many things and imo most likely HCL monies are in there, which has to be what everyone in the world that owns Dinar is waiting for... The citizens may get retroactive pay too...So by this and with Franks [Guru Frank26] opinion among others everything is done and we await for it to come to us.

2-5-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana If you’re not already squirming, let me tell you - this is awesome news. A happy GOI is a GOI that we can get behind, because it’s one that is more likely to RV. And this is possibly the happiest we’ve ever seen them! ...we have more...I’m trying to contain my excitement...We may have an HCL agreement shortly! ...THIS is the kind of movement we need to see for an RV to happen, and I didn’t want to release the news without a full confirmation...you know I’ve been on an “HCL-requirement” ...No HCL = no RV...and now, after a long ride, it's not just on the horizon - it's coming at us, lights flashing and horns blaring! ... the time that we have been waiting on may be over. There is news out right now that is more encouraging regarding the HCL than ANYthing I have ever seen, and that means we’re almost there. [post 2 of 2]
2-5-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...the stars are lining up very nicely right now. ...First, the budget was submitted, signed, and looks like it will be passed, with a HUGE keynote - a significantly acceptable portion of the budget going to the Kurds. This has been a major point of contention between the parties over the years, in fact it’s possibly the biggest point of disagreement and reason for delays in the budget approval process in recent history. ...the budget...needs to be published in the Gazette to be official. This may be happening yet this week, and if it does...that will be insanely quick. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
2-5-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Huge juice this morning...the US Treasury acknowledges they are ready to support Iraq and Kurdistan in promoting a market economy. This announcement is probably the best news that Iraq is ready to open up to the worlds financial system.
2-5-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG ...we have PLAINLY published the FACTS surrounding the Kuwaiti reinstatement over and over and over. It was nothing like the various rumors portrayed on the internet... Any comments made by President Trump regarding prosperity are tied directly to his policies and have nothing to do with any future value change of the Iraqi Dinar. Value change or no – the math just doesn’t add up. A massive change in Dinar value doesn’t even bump the needle of the US financial engine. [reference Guru RVAlready post 2-4-2019]
2-5-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni So the 2019 budget was signed into law today...those hoping for a RV or some other overnight change in value as a result will be disappointed. Not how it works...
2-5-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Article: "The President of the Republic approves the Federal Budget Law" [Hope it doesn't take 2 weeks to get published in the gazette...] ...the timing of this publication will be very important...
2-5-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Central Bank: We bought 20 trillion treasury transfers to move the market" Quote: "With the increasing confidence of international banks in the Central Bank of Iraq and the lifting of restrictions and barriers" I really do think this article is massive in that it shows they are ready to defend their new currency!! They have now told us they are ready to go live with an international exchange company that will be traded on the Iraq Stock Exchange...In addition... we see the lifting or restrictions from the CBI directly. The CBI is talking very loud...imo. Well, them telling us they have lifted restrictions and now having populated them selves with 20 Trillion in treasuries to support their currency, it is all but go time. imo.
2-5-2019 Newshound Guru Kirk H. Sowell So after a long delay, today [Monday] Iraqi President...signs the 2019 budget into law. The delay was due to parliament wanting to make amendments to the budget after it was "passed" on Jan. 24. They just sent it to Salih two days ago.

2-4-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 It's the first part of the week. A brand new week with some new exciting things we’re looking forward to...We'll see what happens tomorrow and where that puts us...
2-4-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready About the only thing Trump has ever said is that prosperity is coming. Just as Bill Clinton never mentioned Kuwait in public, I doubt that Trump will ever mention The Iraq RV in public….. There are ...people who made good money from the Kuwait revaluation, but it was never announced in public.
2-4-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I do find is weird how the CBI has NOT given us an update on the “project to delete the zeros” for over three months. They normally give us an update each month. So we can expect one soon. We know for a fact that the CBI has already contracted with a German firm to print the smaller category notes. Also the coins are already stamped are waiting for distribution. So this is VERY close. What are they waiting for to finally launch the reinstatement? I believe it is political stability (get govt fully formed) and the elimination of the harmful Iranian influence (in the govt matters). [post 2 of 2]
2-4-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...It is like we are in a holding pattern, ready for takeoff but just not yet. The CBI has not given any indication whatsoever of targeting a reinstatement this week or any day soon. But we know it is waiting in the wings. I am waiting to see how this all plays out with the completion of the election process. We know from a recent article that completing his process is VERY important for the CBI as it can demonstrate STABILITY or INSTABILITY, depending on what direction it takes. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
2-4-2019 Newshound Guru ChrisC ...the Dec 30 date...I don't believe he [Guru Frank26] haphazardly threw that out there. I have been following Frank for years and he has never pinned himself down to a date and time like that and I think it bears a lot of attention. He wouldn't have given that date and time if it wasn't real, but I think we should be asking ourselves why they did that but haven't revealed it yet. We HAVE to be sitting right on top of this, but I don't know what they are holding for, and based on what we think we know about IMF rules, more important ...can they continue to delay the reveal and if so, for how long?

2-4-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready About the only thing Trump has ever said is that prosperity is coming. Just as Bill Clinton never mentioned Kuwait in public, I doubt that Trump will ever mention The Iraq RV in public….. There are ...people who made good money from the Kuwait revaluation, but it was never announced in public.
2-4-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I do find is weird how the CBI has NOT given us an update on the “project to delete the zeros” for over three months. They normally give us an update each month. So we can expect one soon. We know for a fact that the CBI has already contracted with a German firm to print the smaller category notes. Also the coins are already stamped are waiting for distribution. So this is VERY close. What are they waiting for to finally launch the reinstatement? I believe it is political stability (get govt fully formed) and the elimination of the harmful Iranian influence (in the govt matters). [post 2 of 2]
2-4-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...It is like we are in a holding pattern, ready for takeoff but just not yet. The CBI has not given any indication whatsoever of targeting a reinstatement this week or any day soon. But we know it is waiting in the wings. I am waiting to see how this all plays out with the completion of the election process. We know from a recent article that completing his process is VERY important for the CBI as it can demonstrate STABILITY or INSTABILITY, depending on what direction it takes.

2-4-2019 Newshound Guru ChrisC ...the Dec 30 date...I don't believe he [Guru Frank26] haphazardly threw that out there. I have been following Frank for years and he has never pinned himself down to a date and time like that and I think it bears a lot of attention.

2-3-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready This may not hit forex until after we exchange. So, each bank could have a different rate. And the rate could vary from one customer to another. We will have to see what happens. This is why Ray [Guru RayRen98] said to wait a couple of days, so we can see which banks have the best rates.

2-1-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "AYSAN CALLS ON THE CENTRAL BANK TO INCREASE THE SHARE OF MAYSAN OF THE SMALL CURRENCY" ...this is such a juicy article...more proof that the smaller categories of 250, 500 and 1000 dinars are increasing in demand as being used for petty cash and everyday shopping. So we see the CBI is due to launch a second batch of even yet smaller categories as they said they would do as the market drives it. This is all fantastic news for us.
2-1-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Question: Is Iraq going to "lop"? Iraq has already made strong progress in rebuilding and obtaining international credit. They do not have an emergency situation, like Zimbabwe or Venezuela. In fact, Iraqs international credit is rated across the board as “B grade” and “Stable”. Iraq has already made tons of progress here. A lop is not going to enhance that. The CBI already controls the currency market. There is no need for further action. Iraqs most recent inflation was measured at about 2% - almost identical to the United States. We are not talking about Zimbabwe here! Multiple currencies are used in Iraq, but there are no threats of replacing the Iraqi Dinar...Since 1960, only 71 cases of lopping have occurred...None of those countries are Iraq, have Iraq's resources, have Iraq's potential...Pretty solid evidence that a lop is a pretty low probability event for us here, don't you think?

2-1-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...these things are: 1. RV (ReValue) 2. Lop (remove some zeros, either from the exchange rate or the denominations) 3. Nothing. ...my opinion of our possible outcomes in this situation is this: 79% chance we see a change in the value upwards in the near future. 20% chance they do nothing other than maintain the status quo (for now).

2-1-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Question: Is Iraq going to "lop"? In the case of Iraq, one of 3 things is going to happen eventually, with “eventually” being either immediately, next week, or maybe a year from now. There is no “deadline” that they are bound to, nor will there ever be one in the current political and economic climate. Certainly there will be factors that could encourage Iraq to move faster or bide their time, but there is no entity or force on the planet that can force Iraq to make any changes to their monetary policy.

1-31-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Several article have surfaced the last few days implying Iraq plans to open their economy to the world in the 'next phase' or 'next stage.' I caution those who think that may be within a week or so. It still could be months. Iraq still has numerous laws to pass or make changes too to invite investment. Parliament is on a break and the next session may not be enough time to pass the needed legislation. A critical piece of the puzzle is coming up February 10-11. Iraqi Finance 2019 could give us some needed timeframes as Iraq continues to transition to a market economy. [See the official list of guru "Possible To-Dos" to on the left column of this page]

1-30-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So here we are the end of January already and still no RV. It has been a disappointing month for us but we do know that they made 2 planned attempts to RV this month in Iraq. Both were stopped by the US under NSA reasons.
1-30-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraqi TV is rampant with messages, statements, allegations and etc.
1. CBI governor Alaq informing the citizens that the reason for the delays is to increase the environment of the private sector.
2. Cleric Sadr calling for Alaq's dismissal from the CBI and referencing close ties to Maliki.
3. PM Mahdi threatens those who stole several billion dinar with publicly revealing their names and being prosecuted if the currency is not returned within one week.
4. Alaq is again on TV adding that the delay is also attributed to the concerns over the cabinet selections.
Note: WAITING FOR STOLEN CURRENCY TO BE RETURNED WILL NOT HOLD UP THE RV.
1-30-2019 Intel Guru Bruce Iraq is basically out of the way. They did get a phone call from our President couple of days ago about being placed into Chapter 8 out of Chapter 7. They are in position now where they have their ATM machines loaded with their new currency, and they have been given instructions to take in all of the US Dollar, what we call USD, the fiat dollars, to collect all of those by the first of February because our USTN is going to be in a position where they should be out and live by or on February 1, 2019. That is a really good sign for us. ...Even though we have noticed the bank screens have a stamp day of tomorrow [Wednesday], Thursday and Friday, January 30, 31, and February 1st...They still do not have an exact start date for us...I would say we are looking for good the next 3 days especially Thursday and Friday... Everything is pointing to an imminent release for us. ...Union Operational rates, pages have been down. That is kind of unusual for those pages to go down, but I think they may bring those Operational rates back up on February 1st and they may reveal the current currency rates...I am excited where we are.

1-27-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Association of Private Banks will participate tomorrow (Sunday) in the meeting of the Arab Monetary Fund" Quote: "the meeting will address the concepts of financial inclusion and ways to raise the rate at the level of the Arab world" Sure sounds like what we were told by WS in the past. AMF / AAD - IMF - SDR is at play. The IQD maybe forced to float in a basket of currencies. Well, interestingly enough not only is it in ink from a recent article, it has been verified by those in Iraq that would need to know to be a true statement and that may be exactly what we will see out of this. The decision makers for the Finance Conference 2019 in February will be needing the results of the new formulated numbers from the 2019 Budget as in international rate (imo), just as the Arab Monetary Fund will. So I hope we all can see the sense of urgency at play now. The crunch time is seriously upon us and them... imo.
1-27-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready I think the sudden passage of the budget was a pretty good indication that this is about to bust loose... The fact that Allaq announced, a day in advance, that the budget would pass, told me everything I needed to know about who was in control of this process in Iraq... Hint...it isn't anybody in the parliament… This is in the hands of Allaq, IMF, and Trump.
1-27-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan 6) they have a conference for investors scheduled in February and they will need the rate prior to that or it will FAIL!!! It will be a massive boon for them or a huge screw up as I see it. That is imo not going to happen, as they have come way to far as the laundry list is clearly showing me that they are working to get this done ASAP. There are contracts that need to be sorted within the next few days and that too adds gas to the fire!! Let’s not forget the Kurds just got what the wanted and then some and Mahdi is talking to the Radio and Media today.. - Imo - so let’s see how things play out... [post 2 of 2]
1-27-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan This next week is critical for us in that there is evidence as I see that is clear to me that this process of implementation of MR is full throttle now to be completed and for many reasons. 1) the banks are linked globally and wire transferring money and in IQD is a reality. 2) Security and stability as noted by the green zone and the barriers around the CBI. 3) they appear to have printed $238+- mil in new currency. 4) EY, PWC and KPMG were in Alaks office last Sunday. 5) the 2019 budget is passed by 278 people into late night early morning the other day and now being calculated by the CBI, and most likely signed by the President and off to the Gazette shortly if not already.

1-26-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, on Tuesday, the unification of customs tariffs and full control of all border crossings of the country" we have been told many years ago that the customs and tariffs revenue for Iraq could rival the oil revenue if it could be unified and fully controlled. So this article...says they have done it. But remember in order to determine the amount of billing they need to be able to convert the foreign currency to equivalent dinar and they can’t do that unless the dinar is on the global currency exchanges. We know they have integrated already with a global import/export system. So is this the next step coming soon to complete the project?
1-26-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Parliament met today and announced the end of the first legislative term of the new government. PM Mahdi hasn't been hosted yet...no cabinet vote selections were concluded. "Supposedly" conclusion of the cabinet vote is postponed until March? [Don't panic, watch what they do...not what they say]
1-26-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 [via TBall] IMO...this ride is just about over with starting today. Trump reopened the US Gov for the RV....to get it done...Iraq needed this time to release it 1-3 weeks...They approved their budget for the first time in over 14 years on Tuesday...
1-26-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We still have 6 days remaining and I am still being told that the CBI has planned to complete the reinstatement sometime prior to the end of the month. We know that deep state operatives in the US government are keeping the Iraqi dinar from moving to an international status and being reinstated back on the global currency exchanges. ...This is intentional, so as not to let the Trump administration hold a huge economic boom for America. This would be a huge political win for him. Yes, I do now believe it is being intentionally held back at the detriment of Iraq. I can not give another timeline for a window for the reinstatement until this ongoing political battle (nightmare) is over in Washington, DC or at least settles down. I really thought that last Saturday was a hopeful time and we would have been at the banks this week already. But this did not happen.

1-25-2019 Intel Guru Bruce The other thing that we heard was that the CBI had done what they needed to do except we are waiting for one more thing, and that one more thing might just be Iraq’s revalued dinar rate and putting it out internationally and it might occur at...the meeting of the World’s Economic Forum in Davos...the Iraqi dinar might be announced there with a new rate at that venue...Now tomorrow [Friday] is the last day... If they do I think that portends very well for us and it might actual trigger our start. [post 3 of 3]
1-25-2019 Intel Guru Bruce The other thing is Iraq’s budget...The most interesting about the budget is it was passed and it was immediately handed over to the Central Bank of Iraq so they could have it and go thru it. What is interesting about it is that this budget the various budget items were listed in billions and millions of dinar and not in trillions as in previous budgets. This means that the numbers they have in the budget are relative to a new revalued Dinar. That is very positive news. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
1-25-2019 Intel Guru Bruce We got a little burst of information to let us know we were on track. ...Just when you thought it was safe to go and concentrate on something else, you find it is still a little bit about Iraq...about them reverting back to their reinstated or in this case revaluated and what that is going to look like.

1-24-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling Question: “Is the bank going to require anything from us upon a deposit exchange even when it’s millions or so?” No…the bank is not the IRS. The next step is the IRS. Figure out…what it’s going to revalue at. It might come in stages. What if the dinar comes in at 10 cents at first? It all depends on you. I’m not even going to speculate on what you should do. I get emails all the time asking “what if it comes in at 10 cents how much should I cash in?” I’m not going to answer those types of questions. There’s no way for me to know. It’s up to you. But what you need to worry about is how you’re going to be taxed…I think you’re going to be fine. There’s a process to go through if it ends up being a lot of money. Remember you’ll give the money to the bank and you’ll get a receipt. It won’t be like a regular receipt it will be like a certification and then the money will go to the treasury and they are going to certify it and then once it’s certified that money is going to go into your bank account. They are not going to give you a bunch of cash…that’s never going to happen.

1-23-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat THE NEWS ON THE IRAQI DINAR REINSTATEMENT: There is some good news as I know the CBI desperately wants to move ahead with this process but is being held back. Over this past weekend we had a situation when the CBI wanted to reinstate and tried to pull the trigger. It was unsuccessful. Some ask me how did I know since no one knows a date or a firm rate. ...I did not know a date or a rate until AFTER the fact. How could I? I just happened to have called my CBI contact to get an update and this is what I was told. Are they lying to me? ...maybe …but I don’t think so. The very good news is the CBI still has plans for the month of January and we still have 9 days remaining…
1-23-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni From what I am reading today it sounds like parliament passed the budget today at the 7pm session. Need more confirmation but looks like good news.
1-23-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 THE WAIT IS "SUPPOSEDLY" OVER...IT'S DONE...IT'S FINISHED...THE RV IS ON ITS' WAY...NO MORE TALKIN'-NO MORE TESTIN'...BRING IT ON ALREADY! ITS YOUR SEASON!!! IF NOT THIS WEEK...I'LL BE SURPRISED BIG TIME...We are just waiting for the call any day... or any hour . . .or any minute. Time will tell.
1-23-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling …the price per barrel has gone down a lot faster than what they anticipated. And the United States is taking over the world market faster than anticipated…remember their [Iraq’s] bottom line is $54-$55 per barrel Brent Price…What happens to their country when they need more? Guess what that goalpost moves and they are going to need more money…Article “U.S. could soon pump more crude than Saudia can at their peak”…we are moving a lot faster than we thought we were going to…this should make you happy. That’s good news. That’s super good news…that’s what I love about the information coming out of the oil industry. Because it means everything for us. You should be very very happy.
1-23-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] ...a lot of our sources have been silenced...they are either on gag orders, some...put under an NDA, and a lot of them just are unable to speak anymore because this is just happening so close right now. You know about the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland...we do understand Iraq will announce their new currency and their new rate on the Iraqi Dinar at Davos. When it comes to our timing, we have heard really good things about Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week. I just can’t call one day or the other, but I think we are looking very strong for this week. I am feeling very good where we are...If anything I am more excited than ever... I think we are going to be pleasantly surprised in the next couple of days.

Gotta vote on what it is in it right? So now that he (Mahdi) has Sadr on the deck allowing Mahdi to head the Interior and Defense, he can now focus on the announcement of not only his first 100 days but, what the citizens want to hear about the CBI the future of their new money...imo...We shall see...That is not something to take lightly... We know Mahdi can make the Art 8 announcement and it would be a very appropriate time to do so...imo.. Let see how it rolls.

1-23-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 THE WAIT IS "SUPPOSEDLY" OVER...IT'S DONE...IT'S FINISHED...THE RV IS ON ITS' WAY...NO MORE TALKIN'-NO MORE TESTIN'...BRING IT ON ALREADY! ITS YOUR SEASON!!! IF NOT THIS WEEK...I'LL BE SURPRISED BIG TIME...We are just waiting for the call any day... or any hour . . .or any minute. Time will tell.
1-23-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling …the price per barrel has gone down a lot faster than what they anticipated. And the United States is taking over the world market faster than anticipated…remember their [Iraq’s] bottom line is $54-$55 per barrel Brent Price…What happens to their country when they need more? Guess what that goalpost moves and they are going to need more money…Article “U.S. could soon pump more crude than Saudia can at their peak”…we are moving a lot faster than we thought we were going to…this should make you happy. That’s good news. That’s super good news…that’s what I love about the information coming out of the oil industry. Because it means everything for us. You should be very very happy.
1-23-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] ...a lot of our sources have been silenced...they are either on gag orders, some...put under an NDA, and a lot of them just are unable to speak anymore because this is just happening so close right now. You know about the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland...we do understand Iraq will announce their new currency and their new rate on the Iraqi Dinar at Davos. When it comes to our timing, we have heard really good things about Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week. I just can’t call one day or the other, but I think we are looking very strong for this week. I am feeling very good where we are...If anything I am more excited than ever... I think we are going to be pleasantly surprised in the next couple of days.
1-23-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Abdul Mahdi "comfortable" for his long stay on the head of the interior and defense .. Sadr does not mind" This is very good news...Now that that is effectively settled imo, the next move is the rate announcement before the budget...?? hmm we shall see and possibly before they vote on Wednesday or Thursday. Gotta vote on what it is in it right? So now that he (Mahdi) has Sadr on the deck allowing Mahdi to head the Interior and Defense, he can now focus on the announcement of not only his first 100 days but, what the citizens want to hear about the CBI the future of their new money...imo...We shall see...That is not something to take lightly... We know Mahdi can make the Art 8 announcement and it would be a very appropriate time to do so...imo.. Let see how it rolls. But, with the Interior and Defense out of the way nothing left but the Art 8, rate for the budget that the Big 3 Firms most likely approved of Sunday.. imo..
1-22-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...The CBI has told us in multiple articles that the 3 zero notes would be used later (after the event) almost exclusively for inter-banking transactions for trading. Later these larger notes are NOT meant to be in the publics hands thus 10 ten years to get all of them (the remaining 2/3 out of circulation). So you as an owner of these larger notes, when you do to the bank, the banks will want these dinars since they will be VERY valuable. When we exchange our dinars, we are acting as we are bankers not ordinary Iraqi citizens. This is the key to understanding this exchange process and just because it is so different than other forms of re-denominations... [post 3 of 3]
1-22-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...How can banks then differentiate the rate to the different notes? They can’t and so a dinar is a dinar. Example: So let’s say you took a newer category note of 1 dinar to the bank and exchanged it after the reinstatement. The new rate is 1: 3 meaning 1 IQD is worth $3 USD. You would get $3 USD. Then if you took an older 25,000 dinar note to the same bank they would have to apply the same FOREX rate of 1: 3 to this note too. They will not be able to differentiate. Get it? Thus you would get $75,000 USD in exchange. So yes, the currency you hold would be much stronger. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
1-22-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat [Will by deleting the zeros it makes the currency stronger , therefore making our investment more valuable?] Yes, by deleting the ZEROS this will make the currency stronger thus also our investment. On the surface it looks like your 1,000 dinar note would only become worth only 1 dinar. But what most forget or don’t know is that the two currencies will “coincide” together for up to 10 years. That means the older 3 zero notes and the newer lower category notes will both be in circulation at the same time... [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]
1-22-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 [via Clare] The USD is no longer wearing the same suit that supported a PR (Program Rate). The USD is being used to SUPPORT the lifting of the 3 zeros...The USD was used like a cane, a walker, for the IQD. The IQD is being used to pay it's bills at a rate of 1-1 ...not for a PR! For the lifting of the 3 zeros that gives power to the dinar. The IQD can now stand next to the USD. 5.5 billion in Iraq... No longer used to pay bills and it stands next to the IQD...It stood next to the IQD to support it...Now the USD is pouring in to invest in Iraq.
1-22-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty Iraqi Speaker of Parliament says next meeting will hold vote to complete cabinet formation & vote on 2019 national budget.
1-22-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready At the moment, I can see no reason to delay the RV, and lots of reasons to go ahead immediately. After all, everyone says they are ready, so they should do it right now.
1-22-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar should have taken place over the weekend and was held up again due to NSA security reasons. I have talked to my CBI contact and I am told that they are getting tired of this postponement and really need this currency to move ahead with the reconstruction phase. They are already a year late in their five year plan 2018-2022. The good news is there is still 10 days remaining in January and this month is the best opportunity for the CBI to do it for accounting reasons. Their fiscal accounting year coincides with the calendar new year unlike the western world that begins on Oct 1st.

1-21-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 ...The Budget is "supposed" to be voted on during Tuesdays' session. Members are dissatisfied with Mahdi's progress during his first 100 days.
1-21-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan We just watched a few of the largest firms in the world have a meeting with Alak today. All in the same room. ...Iraq is ready and they had to get on the same page for whats coming now, as it will be different than before. imo.. The meeting with those who dot the I’s and cross the T’s were at the central bank today and word is there was cargo leaving the banks at night.. Makes one wonder at this present time why? Don’t forget, the central bank issues cash... all imo.
1-21-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat [Is the CBI saying replacing the larger 3 zero notes with new currency?] If they remove three zeros the IQD it will be replaced by a new lower category currency thus when the CBI reinstates the currency they will have to raise the rate. But they do not need to get all the 3 zeros notes changed over. In fact the plan does not call for all of them either. Once the reinstatement occurs they told us it will take up to 10 years to get all these 3 zero notes out of circulation. So the reinstatement is also pivotal in this process.
1-21-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 Article: "The supervisory and auditing bodies meet in the Central Bank of Iraq" Quote: “a meeting of the bank held today under the chairmanship of the Governor, and the presence of the President of the Office of Financial Supervision, the head of the board of Securities, and the captain of accountants and auditors, and Vice-President of the Iraqi Association of Certified Public Accountants, and representatives of international audit firms (KPMG, Ernst & Young, Price waterhouse Coopers)."

Alak is sitting at the head of the table and has everyone's attention...The attention of three of the largest firms in their line of work in the World. They will need to coordinate with each other from here on out. We should all be smiling about now with the timing of the meeting. The numbers not only on the new notes will have to be accounted for and well managed just as contracts will be when during and after the (RD/RI/RV) process of completion of the Monetary Reform and the re construction of the country...IMO.

1-20-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 I do not believe the NSA is involved in such a manner as some are suggesting... The BIS appears to be a likely reason the "activity" hasn't commenced yet. Even though banks are closed on Monday for the holiday, it is expected that progress reports may become self-evident on that day. Iraqi TV is broadcasting that Iraq's doors are open to the world...this is considered as an effort to obtain world-wide investors. Time Will Tell!!!
1-20-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat You all want to know what is holding up the Iraq dinar reinstatement? ...We have heard the paperwork is all completed, the approvals given. Even the codes to release the funds necessary for the exchanges to take place are out. Yet...here we sit still waiting. ...So the excuse given once again? We are hearing that it is once again...a matter of "National Security" as the NSA stopped the final trigger. As they have done so many times in the past. I am certainly not one to call the RV every day or every weekend but I know without a shadow of a doubt that this time it was supposed to go. Yes, it was planned for...Jan 19th 2019 exact timing unknown. The Central Bank of Iraq is reporting that "this is getting old" and that something must be done. They need their currency to move ahead with the reconstruction funding payments...
1-20-2019 Newshound Guru Kirk H. Sowell So another parliament session with cabinet votes not on the schedule. The deadlock continues.

1-19-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat 2014 Article: "IRAQI DINAR REVALUATION POSTPONED BY CENTRAL BANK FOR 5 YEARS SAYS MP NOURA AL-BAJARI" This article shows us two things: 1)that the policy to delete the zeros is now ready to go by 2014 (remember in 2008-2011 they were NOT ready.) So what has changed? All the efforts of banking and financial reforms under Abadi, I quote from the article – “THE POLICY TO DELETE ZEROS FROM THE IRAQI CURRENCY IS READY TO BE EXECUTED BY THE CENTRAL BANK“ 2) it shows us that the ISIS invasion in 2014 postponed the project even tough the CBI was ready. They projected a 5 year wait afterwards to do it. This brings us to 2019. Right? I quote from the article – “Central Bank although it will be delayed by five years given the political and security situation of Iraq.”
1-19-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni I try to tell people that the CBI needs to make money. A RV or RI could never happen because it circumvents those CBI principals. A float not only is a tool to relieve pressure created by an influx of investment capital it serves as a tool for the CBI to make money (commission) off the buy/sell of the dinar as it rises. The CBI would never give up such a step as it needs to generate revenue. The...RV or RI stories are nonsense. There is no overnight event...
1-19-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready Still no budget, but that will not hold up the RV. They are completely separate. In fact, it would be easier on the budget if the RV happened first. It would make equipment purchases from Europe and the US more economical.
1-19-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan The source...At first...said we are going to be happy this Saturday... What was asked of him on a scale of 1-10 how good is the news coming to the citizens? A 10 was the answer...Next week being a 10 on the scale is huge for us... lets add in the additional data [Guru] Delta brought in with the URGENT MEASURES and FORCED to FLOAT Currency and just in on the 2019 Budget ready for approval this evening, this place we are in is very nice! If they are getting FORCED into a float? Awesome is better than nice! imo So lets see if this weekend turns out as good, as I think it can be. [post 2 of 2]
1-19-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...The article a source brought me...shows the heat is on and the pressure is building to get the 2019 budget done and the citizens what to expect within that budget and what they want from all the promises they have been given. I had my source and another source confirm that the citizens have been told in the Mosques that they were to expect this to have been done on or around the 4/5th of this month and then, no go. ...Well, I / We believe they were placated...about the basket of currencies being too low, thus, they may have used that information to tell the citizens to sit tight, as we are going to adjust the basket and you'll get more purchase power in the end. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
1-19-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling I think Iraq’s oil production is about 4 million barrels per day…Iraq is the second largest oil producer in OPEC and the 5th largest oil reserve. So look at the Saudi Arabia currency, what’s the value of that?

1-18-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat In today’s news we are also seeing more pressure to stop or greatly limit the currency auctions. OH – but how can they do that without putting the dinar on a FLOAT and reinstating it back to it former glory on the global currency exchanges? Simply put they can’t... This reinforces again that something is about to happen with the Iraqi currency. It almost has to as the pressure is building and the bubble is about to pop. January is only half over and so there is plenty of time yet to see some more actions in this direction. How far can they proceed without the reinstatement?
1-18-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling What are you guys [Iraq] up to? Ok so you don’t revalue at 54 cents, 90 cents…you can do 10 cents. I know you guys can do that and you don’t even have to blink. It’s not going to hurt your economy one way or the other. How do we know that? Look at the other currencies in the middle east…that’s how you figure that out. So after Saudi Arabia who’s the biggest producer of oil in OPEC? It’s Iraq. Iraq has the 5th largest reserve in the world…So you start looking at these other counties and what they produce and how much their currency is and it doesn’t make sense does it? Remember I talked about undervalued stock? Undervalued currency is that simple…I love it cause that’s how it works.
1-18-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [...does Brexit have any effect on our Dinar investment?] In a roundabout way it does, because global events always have some impact... so, yes. But it doesn't merit any concern for us at this time.
1-18-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni A few people have asked for my opinion on the recent float article as to what "forced" means? My view when I read the article is this MP is saying we can continue to have citizens on state payroll and take loans to support the budget or we can learn from some of these other countries and float the dinar and invite foreign investment into the country. I don't think its a question of being forced...just a decision to get away from a state run oil dependent country and create a private sector supported by foreign investment. So a float is what is coming.
1-18-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] The most recent picture has this happening either before January 21st...with some emphasis I am getting ...January 18th or Saturday. If not we skip over January 21st and go to January 22nd...It doesn’t guarantee it...It just means that is what I am hearing from very trusted sources that are very close to the situation. Iraq has basically been done and is no longer an issue the last six weeks...Iraq is out of the picture. If you are focusing on Iraq, you are in the wrong game. Let it go. It is done, done and done...I am going to say everything is still moving along like we think. Rates will be high. We just need the Go Signal. I am looking for that Go Signal anytime now.
1-18-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling …They [Iraq] don’t have to revalue in one big pop or shot. They can revalue little by little. I’m not talking about a tenth of a penny. I’m talking about adding 10, 15, 20 cents a pop. Why they haven’t done it yet I don’t know. I simply do not have an answer for that. Because if I was them that’s exactly what I would be doing. I understand they have to protect themselves and not make it too expensive overnight to invest in Iraq…90% of their export is oil. That’s their economy. And the price of oil is going down so they are not making as much money. $56 a barrel is their break even point. I think it’s $54 to $56. They don’t just have to revalue for their sake. They have to send signals out to the international markets saying “we’re out to play.” If they are going to keep their currency low people are not going to send product to Iraq to be able to trade. It kind of binds them up. They need to start doing something.

Again, the CBI stated the other day now, that the 2% fee on $20.00 (transactions) will cease on Sunday, thus, the take away is they may show us smalls.. imo.. Why all the Urgency?

1-17-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling People are asking me about the oil prices. There’s a big panic in the dinar world because the oil prices started going up…Fact - the United States has control over the oil markets and the price is going to go down. It’s going to force these countries to do all sorts of stuff…cause they are going to go broke if they don’t. They know it. We know it. We know where their break even points are…so people are seeing the oil prices go up. It’s short term.
1-17-2019 Intel Guru Delta FROM IRAQI TV: The Economic and Investment Committee.... Iraq may be forced to float the dinar to encourage investment in Iraq.
1-17-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "WHEN WILL THE IRAQI DINAR BE REVALUED?" So again the CBI is telling us and I quote - “the revaluation of the Iraqi dinar is ready to be implemented by the country’s Central Bank; however, the Parliamentary Economic and Investment Commission HAD DECIDED TO POSTPONE THE REVALUATION UNTIL NOW TO 2019”. What is this telling us? 1)Again the CBI does not work alone and needs the support of the rest of the government. 2)The project to delete the zeros was postponed until 2019. Again...this confirms that perhaps this year of 2019 is our year to get it done. It is now January 2019 folks!
1-17-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni I...want to point out every year someone says look at the budget for a change. ...The budget has nothing to do with any reforms and can be made retroactive at anytime.

And this is exactly what they told you they were going to do!!! ...240 contracts are a lot of contracts at a new RI rate.. And as I said they have gone from the NEER (Nominal effective Exchange rate) to the REER (Real effective Exchange Rate). Soon it will be announced publicly at a rate of 1 to 1 because these calculations have been done, tested and approved. But above all they have been built on Int’l standards. ...IMO, a 1 to 1 in country is something that we, as investors of the IQD, will never see! (hint: IMO the rate we see will be much higher).

1-17-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 ...my friend [Guru] Walkingstick is working with the Government of Iraq and the Central Bank of Iraq. Not only on the 2nd set of books that was successfully done. But because those books were successful on the 30th of December of 2018 my friend’s firm received 240 contracts from the Gov’t of Iraq. ...The Government of Iraq has started internally. In fact 24 of those 240 contracts have already been paid! And they were paid in IQDs...they were paid at a rate of one to one to the USD! ...Let’s say for example the contracts were worth 200,000. And the 200,00 was paid is paid to my friend’s firm in Iraqi dinars...that 200,000 dinars was presented in the contract at a rate of 1 to 1 to the USD. So that 200,000 dinars is actually $200,000.00 American dollars...my friend has a contract in his hands at 1 to 1 with the American dollar and the Iraqi dinar. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

They are telling us once again 2019 is our timeframe. OK – hold on to your horses! I do not know the exact timeframe in 2019 but all we can confirm is two things – 1) they just told us this week in the news media that 2019 is our year and 2) we know they normally like to target January and we still have half of the month of January remaining. So let’s see what happens in January and if it does not happen then we move to another target. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
1-16-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni A member of the Economic and Investment Committee said today that Iraq may be forced to float the dinar to encourage investment in Iraq...Sound familiar?

This seems to be the year Iraq will move forward launching a private sector and encouraging foreign investment.
1-16-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] ...it is kind of coming down to the wire now.

Calls that took place with the large banks in conjunction with the Secretary of the Treasury...we think part of the plan was to talk about where we are in terms of the release and...can this thing happen immediately meaning in the next day or two. ...What I am telling you is you are very close. Everything we can say about Iraq appears to have been completed...We hope that we are at the end of the ride because the evidence is showing things are moving. I can just can tell you the rates that will be on the front screens for the Dinar and Dong will be much closer together than we thought.
1-16-2019 Newshound Guru Daytrader All that happens as the result of the consultation is agreement on a plan of action to make any necessary corrections. There is no failure, only a plan of action to rectify concerns. Iraq and the IMF have been planning the reinstatement of the IQD for a very long time, and during this time they continued to develop and fine-tune the process specific to Iraq's needs. IMO this has nothing to do with nor will it have any impact on what we seek. [post 2 of 2]
1-16-2019 Newshound Guru Daytrader A number of members have expressed concern over a statement regarding an IMF Article IV consultation not occurring until later this year. This is Iraq’s normal Article IV consultation schedule. Most countries have an Article IV consultation with the IMF every 24 months, including the United States. It provides an opportunity for both the IMF and the country to discuss specifically where the country might have monetary policy or procedural shortcomings that need correction, and review what they’re doing that meets Article IV criteria.

1-15-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Question: When will the 3 Zeros be DELETED? The CBI will only complete the project to delete the zeros until the CBI and the finance committee can come together on an agreement as to when to do it. Then we hope nothing changes their mind in the meantime since scheduled. We are not waiting for the economy to take off or for reconstruction to first happen. I know for a FACT that the reinstatement is part of the condition by the IMF to release reconstruction funds. This was a plan from 2018-2022 so it already late. They need to know that the funds are secure and will be used for this purpose. ...This is what makes this past May 2018 election so important. Investors and the IMF want technocratic cabinet members who are honestly going to move Iraq forward. No more playing games. They don’t care how long it takes. They will not budge until the government is fully formed and Iran is out of the politics to a point they can no longer harm the process.
1-15-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "The Central Bank cancels a 2% commission payment for the $20 category and less" Well well.. Now why in the world would they cancel 2% commission on relatively small category notes of foreign currency? ...The CBI is doing this for a reason and I suspect it is for a very good reason. As in they are going to have similar small notes that have more value therefore, they will have to exchange similar notes on a daily basis.. So imo, this is huge...imo.

1-14-2019 Newshound Guru Sunkissed ...After all the haggling and demands that Iraq has served up to Jordan... the bottom line actually rests with Iraq: THEY MUST HAVE PURCHASING POWER to be able to absorb the MASSIVE QUANTITIES of goods, minerals, etc., coming INTO Iraq! Ball is DEFINITELY in Iraq's court! Promises were made in the BEGINNING of 2018!! (Respect the first quarter! Sound familiar? -- [Guru] Walkingstick was accurate!) And now, the longer they wait, the more difficult, if not impossible it will be for Jordan to perform in time! BUT...in order to perform on their contract... Iraq MUST FIRST HAVE PURCHASING POWER! Iraq HAS TO BE READY AND ABLE TO PAY THEM! Therefore, February 02, 2019, appears to be the back-wall, Drop Dead Date, "to be an exquisite mutual-beneficial relationship." If February 02, 2019 is the Drop Dead Date, then we are looking at Feb 02 - 04 (Monday) for the IQD to go live. However... imo.... it certainly could go before that date! [post 2 of 2]

Looks like Jordan signed some "old" deals that were "renewed" - I suppose we would use the word "updated" (to reflect a new rate? a more competitive price, since so many contractors are FLOODING into Iraq?)

There are fireflies on the ground over there that suggest that the citizens have been told they are getting a gift from GOD, they very well may have been placated for now, but, how long they will not get antsy is anyone's guess. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
1-13-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni I'll say it again...there can never be an overnight RV or RI, there is just to much dinar in circulation. Our best hope is for the CBI to move off the peg to a float and allow the dinar to rise gradually. Such an event could allow for a gradual reduction of currency. The simple fact that over 40 trillion dinar is in circulation is all one needs to know to realize there NEVER can be a RV or RI...Simply put, there is just to much dinar in circulation for such an event. The good news is the IMF documented very clearly the intent to float the dinar and if investment comes into Iraq as expected it should create the Balassa-Samuelson effect allowing the dinar to rise gradually. I believe once the CBI begins the float, the dinar could rise significantly within 6-12 months.
1-13-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Iraqi Dinar revaluation postponed by Central Bank for 5 years says MP Noura al-Bajari by Amre Sarhan Oct 29, 2014," Good deal...WS [Guru Walkingstick] told us back years ago that the process on the second set of books takes time. I believe there is data to support that from the imf. Didn’t WS suggest that time of the four year process to be 01/01/2018? I think so. So if that is the case which, I believe to be supportive being his track record is very good. The One more year equates to? Any time now! Imo.
1-13-2019 Intel Guru Delta Article quote: "The revaluation of the Iraqi dinar is ready to be implemented by the country's Central Bank; however, the Parliamentary Economic and Investment Commission has decided to postpone the revaluation to 2019." THIS ARTICLE IS FROM 08/16/2017...2019 IT'S...
1-13-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraq TV is reporting to the citizens they are "not seeing an end in sight" regarding the differences in the chosen names for cabinet seats and that this is causing damage to their government. Iraqi TV is reporting "no time table" for the completion of the cabinet voting. [Really? Is this a smoke screen...Time Will Tell!]
1-13-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The dinar you own will never go back to Iraq. It will become part of the global traded currencies.

1-12-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "Iran pushes Iraq to maintain trade without US dollar" This has NOTHING to do with the CBI determining when to reinstate the dinar. There is absolutely no connection for pressuring the Iraqi central bank. Will a reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar actually be good for this situation? Actually NO, and so why would the US push the CBI to use the dinar in place of the US dollar. If it were a good thing the Central bank could they just end the currency auctions and use dinar to trade with Iran. But the fact is it is NOT that simple and the other reasons why Iraq has not yet reinstated their currency still exist. ...They can’t just RV or RI cause they need to trade with one country in the middle east. It does not make any sense. ...In the long term this pressure from the US to have Iraq more independent from Iran is the BEST thing that can ever happen to Iraq.
1-12-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni So some are asking the significance of why the government needs to be offically formed for the IMF to engage with Iraq? Usually on these types of agreements a legitimate government is needed for validating/confirm signatures. [The normal cycle for Article IV consultations for countries under a program is 24 months. Thus Iraq is not due for an Article IV until the summer of 2019.] Wrong. Iraq under it's programs meets annually. Not to mention, the representative to Iraq told me directly they will not meet with Iraq until the completed formation of the government...
1-12-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...we know Iraq has the plan to coincide the smaller category notes with the larger 3 zero notes together. We know this because the central bank of Iraq itself has told us. This is what really is going to make us rich someday. ...If Iraq was going to just “lop” they would have done it already.
1-12-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Parliament ended their session today with no mention of a cabinet vote...
1-12-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Great new article from the World Bank talking about Iraq's GDP going from 1.9% in 2018 to 6.2% in 2019. How? Unless they open the banking system to the world for global investment.

1-11-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "THE THREE PRESIDENCIES MEET POMPEO AND THE LATTER RENEWS HIS COUNTRY'S SUPPORT FOR IRAQ" Article quote: “activation of economic cooperation and investment between the two countries”. They are about to get this ball rolling from this 2018-2022 reconstruction plan. This plan, as we know, hinges on reinstating their currency. Why? They will need “free flow” of capital in and out of Iraq and they can not do this having to go to currency auctions and keep converting dinar to dollars. Get it? They will need automated, international systems to transfer money and these systems use the global currency exchanges to convert the currency to the proper exchange rates...
1-11-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni People ask me all the time..."why is it that a float is the only solution for Iraq?" Because it is the only way to gradually reduce the money supply as the dinar appreciates in value as a result of investment to reduce inflation. ...a mythical RV or RI...Never happening as there is to much (over 40 Trillion) dinar in circulation. Can never happen. Only a float at this point could work. There will never be a $3-$4 exchange rate of the dinar. Total nonsense. Iraq is trying to rebuild and create GDP not go broke paying out on a currency exchange...Monetary policy is pretty well documented for emerging market economies.
1-11-2019 Intel Guru ADMINBILL Another weekend is coming and with it come possibilities of an end to our journey. Are we there yet? That remains a question that will not be answered until you are at the bank. I am encouraged.
1-11-2019 Intel Guru Bruce I am probably more positive than I ever been the last 14 years. The fact we expect it very soon, very shortly. ...things are moving along nicely. We are moving through and you know I can’t call it because I do not know it, but I tell you I think we are looking very strongly over the next few days. Might have a great weekend...additionally...a lot of the rates were flashing...but...when we get ready to go the rates will be solid and maybe they will move a little bit up and down. That is okay. That is part of the Forex, part of trading, but I tell you this much about the Dinar, they had to increase the size of the screen vertically on Forex because of the increase that is anticipated for the Dinar. Two inches. They increased the height of the screen because of the curve that is going to take place of the Dinar going up. It would have run out of space. ...We are in great shape... we are looking at a real strong weekend...I think we are just about at the end of the ride...
1-11-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 On the 30th, of December, lifted the 3 zeros electronically. What I’m about to share with you is public knowledge. Why doesn’t the Internet know? You...have the ability and privilege to receive our study from [Guru] Walkingstick. Because Walkingstick is working with the Government of Iraq. On the 30th of Dec. 2018, WS firm received 240 contracts from the GOI. They started internally. 24 of them, have already been PAID. They were paid in IQD. The term of acceptance: 30 day contracts. Of the 240, 24 already paid in IQD. That’s exactly what Iraq has to do. I want you to know that these 240 contracts and the 24, they were paid at a rate of 1:1. Those contracts will start on January 13, 2019. Details on other firms is unknown to us. Believe they are similar and paid in IQD at 1:1.

1-10-2019 Intel Guru Delta "The largest deletion of zeros in history." Quote: "The elimination of zeros is not new in Iran, it was preceded by Venezuela when it omitted five zeros, and Iraq which has already deleted zeros from Iraqi dinars..." [Delta, if they deleted any zeros we would see it on the cbi web site IMO and all the zeros are still there.] THEY CAN HOLD IT FROM US WITH IN 30 DAYS...
1-10-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat For all you who ...want a date and a rate – no reinstatement as of yet and the dinar is not yet international. The CBI is still planning for the month of January and so we watch and wait, however I do not see the signs I would want to see to by now to prove this is the case. There is still more than 3 weeks remaining in January. Also when the dinar does finally reinstate it will most likely be in the range of $3-$4 on exchange with the US dollar. This is NOT going to be slow rise from the program rate 1190 since it will no longer be solely pegged to the US dollar.
1-10-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready [So the budget being voted on tomorrow [Thursday]. Is that the news we're waiting on for tomorrow or Friday?] We do not really care about their budget. The RV will happen independent of that. I think parliament is a smoke screen. Stuff in Iraq almost always comes from back room meetings. Sounds like cabinet will be announced tomorrow.
1-10-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Yes, EVERYONE wins. Even the OPEC members that may have seemingly "lost" some revenue with their limited production agreement. The truth of that matter is that none of them are in the dark about the potential for Iraq to revalue. They all sit there,innocently and conveniently silent about Iraq's exclusion from the agreement. Coincidence? I think not. In fact, this is the KEY. It's staring the world in the face, and only a small group of us are even paying attention. I'm ok with that. HCL is still a pivotal issue, but there's no point in finalizing the HCL until oil prices go back up. More good news - Iraq is in a very good position to implement HCL, so once we see this graph going up again...game on! [post 3 of 3]
1-10-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana The good and bad news is this - there are actions being taken to get the price of oil back up. ...Now, think about this little tidbit...Iraq has "confirmed their commitment to participating" in the oil productions cuts. But, as a savvy reader who remembers the details, you also know that Iraq was not specifically included in the original OPEC agreement. Iraq is essentially standing on the sidelines, voicing support, encouraging the action... but reserving the right to step back from it and swoop in on some profits once they are there again, while everyone else frantically tries to organize a vote to release themselves from their self-imposed restrictions. At that point in time, Iraq will have all the time they need to successfully execute a couple days or even weeks of trading, exchanging currency with higher values and reaping profits on said exchanges, and everyone wins. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
1-10-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana I’m still pretty solid about 2019. In fact, I like it a lot. Not this week in particular, but in general - I think we've got a solid chance...this year! I've been keeping an eye on the situation for a few months now, waiting to see the trend I'm seeing right now. Waiting for all the pieces to come together. And I finally feel like it's time to voice the following thoughts. We may all enjoy a lower pump price, but I guarantee you the Middle East and all our Texas oil boys don't necessarily like them! That's exactly why OPEC entered into a production limit agreement in the not-so-distant past...because supply and demand drives price. Oil is on sale right now, due to a very high supply, and I don't think we'll see an RV while the sale is on. It's simply not in the CBI's best interest to do so. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]

1-9-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraqi TV is reporting that Thursday's Parliament session will be totally dedicated to the 2019 Budget. The cabinet voting will "supposedly" happen on Saturday's session. Reportedly, Fox news posted an alert that Mike Pompeo made a surprise visit to the Iraqi Parliament announcing to them to grow up and become the sovereign nation they're expected to be. [Time Will Tell]
1-9-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "ALLOCATION OF 50 MILLION DINARS TO ARTICLE 140" So folks here it is again Article 140. Do you wonder why now and we project the CBI to reinstate by the end of January? Go figure Article 140 and HCL HOT in the news NOW! Don’t let anyone tell you these are not important to have the reinstatement of the dinar. The FACT is we were told many years ago that the new Iraqi constitution MUST be fully implemented to get the currency back online...So these are mandated by the constitution.
1-9-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG ...Personally, I don’t care which way it starts – just as long as it gets going. ...Regardless of which way it happens – if the value rises, we ALL WIN!!...
1-9-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] Just when you think it is safe to say everything is done with Iraq, there is one more piece we were looking for or is happening that we should be aware of. We heard they have (3) announcements coming out...One was made today [Tuesday]. One should be made on Thursday, and I believe one is going to be made on Friday. I know one of the announcements, not the one today, I believe will talk about the reinstatement of the Iraqi Dinar, and the fact that Iraq is a Sovereign nation and has revalued currency. Some of that revaluation of that currency will occur when that currency is actively traded on the world market using Forex to do so. I believe that is where we believe is reinstatement and go into revaluation because the rates they have now that we know of is already higher than their $3.22 rate was back in 2003 ...ultimately Iraq is done having made the decision to do what they needed to do and conform to what they have been asked to do. Now it is just a matter of timing and time. So I am going to say I am looking forward to again a very good and interesting weekend...

1-8-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni I believe Inflation in Iraq is under 2%. There are several reasons why the CBI should begin to raise the value...but only time will tell.
1-8-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 There are two banks within Iraq that have mirrored US banking capabilities regarding the transfer of funds and now are able to do a conversion from country to country. The importance of the 2 banks in country of Iraq adopting our US banking techniques is that now the contractors who are conducting business in country and being paid in IQD are now depositing their IQD in American banking institutions. And now our banks are able to convert these deposits from IQD to USN in our country. We know of one US contractor has in over 200+ contracts for construction within country and will be paid in IQD on a 1 to 1 basis with US currency values and because of the mirrored banking techniques his in country bank will now make this conversion.
1-8-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...guru BGG tries to discredit my recent float post by saying it is not supported by and CBI or other documentation. ...wrong!

So I am warning all you intelligent people to ignore all this rubbish. So far we have NO signs of a reinstatement as we expected to see by this time. But January is not even half over and there is still much time. Let’s see what really happens. I am still hearing the CBI is targeting the end of January.

1-7-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Why do I keep saying “reinstate” instead of “revalue”? The CBI can’t revalue the dinar since it is not even yet on the global trading platforms. ...We must go by pure definition of what being traded means...To be “traded” means that the dinar can be bought and sold on the “open” global currency exchanges like other currencies. It also means that investors in currencies such as hedge funds, investment brokerages, etc, etc can legally pick up the dinar and place them in portfolios such as 401k, retirement funds, mutual funds, etc...The CBI itself tells me they must first “reinstate’ the dinar and in this process they expect a significant rate change. This process stems around the “project to delete the zeros”. They tell me this project must coincide closely with the reinstatement process. This is what we watch and wait for not a revaluation.

Eliminate this and things could drastically change in Iraq, for the better.
1-5-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling Iraq can not function…they need $54 per barrel to survive…they’re telling us…in two years it’s going to be $25 per barrel. That means they’re in the negative. They need $54 to stay even. That’s just to make it. To survive…They are going to be below that by half…it makes me happy cause you and I are sitting on their currency. What are they going to do devalue it more? No. They are going to add value and you and I are sitting on it. You should be happy. It’s real…that’s the way it works. No body can get around this math…You have a hundred years of how countries devalued and valued their currencies and Iraq is no different. They are going to be forced to do it. Nothing can stop them from doing it. That’s what’s so neat about what’s coming up.

Could this be referring to the USD? Of course it is since the dinar is not solely pegged to the US dollar ... if the US dollar has de-valuing issues, this would also drag down the value of the Iraqi dinar. This article is correct. So the best solution is to get off the sole peg and re-peg to the SDR basket of 5 currencies. Then put the dinar on a float and open it up to the world again.

1-4-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We still wait for the Jan 8th session in parliament to see if the last of the three ministers are voted on. Today we heard that maybe they might just vote on the Interior minister on next Tuesday. We wait and see. So right now there is still no indication of a reinstatement occurring soon. I know we all expected maybe January to be our month and this is still the best month for the CBI to target it. The CBI still has this planned for January but, like I keep telling everyone, this is not going to be such a huge surprise when it does occur. We WILL have some indication for at least a week or two ahead of time and see it coming. Right now we do NOT see any of these indicators. Maybe after the last of the ministers are voted on things might suddenly pick up and get crazy. We just sit, relax and wait…..

1-3-2019 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Will we see the “reinstatement” of the Iraqi dinar this month? All we can go by is what we know as FACTS...We know that Jan 2013 is a known past planned targets to reinstate the dinar. Even Dr Shabibi came out in a news media talk and told us that Iraq had an “unprecedented” opportunity to reinstate the dinar. But they failed due to political corruption. Three other targeted times but NOT attempted like in 2013, also occurred for January 2011, 2016, 2018. The CBI also came flat right out and told us that “EARLY 2017” was a target but due to ISIS war not completed this would be delayed. So it seems that EARLY January is significant. When we research we find out that the accounting period (fiscal year accounting period) for Iraq begins Jan 1st not oct 1st like in the western world. Could this make a difference as to why they select January each time? This may always been the best opportunity for them to reinstate the dinar.

1-2-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ... I think this year is going to prove different than the last. ...It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the tail end of 2018 didn’t bring us an RV. Iraq operates on a global scale, so things that happen around the world do have an influence on them. 2018 was the worst year in the stock market since 2008. More importantly, US crude posted it’s first loss since 2015. Those are not specifically Iraq’s losses, of course, but lower oil prices affect ALL oil markets. Combine that with a general lack of news regarding the HCL and we have an obvious situation where they would not pull the trigger. We'd all like to think that Iraq can pull off an RV with lower oil prices, but the current market needs to change for Iraq and everyone else to be confident. It will happen, of course. But this doesn't look like the week for it. Not that I'm discouraged at all! The current market is a temporary thing. Nothing negative has happened to scare us from the future of this venture. And I don't think anything has changed to make Iraq no longer want to regain their former position of power and influence. It will happen. The question is only "when"?

So we know what the value went to at that stage.

We also know that in part the new Nov sanctions on Iran were designed to force Iraq to close down the auctions and use dinar for trading purposes with neighboring countries. But in order to do this they must first reinstate the currency...
1-1-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 YOUR FOCUS SHOULD ONLY BE ON...WHAT THE CBI DOES WITH THE RI OF THE IQD...NOTHING ELSE. FOR ALL ELSE WILL AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST POST RI. [Note: The latest and official CBI rate and market rate are listed in the Dinar Guru Recourse Bar on the left of this page]
1-1-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...monetary policy is not some random act. Monetary policy is based on statistical analysis. Iraq is not at an artifical currency rate. ...The rate is the current exchange rate that has already appreciated since the dinar was introduced in 2003 from about 3400 to $1 to 1166 to $1 by sound montary policy under Shabibi. And since 2015 the dinar devalued to 1190 to $1 as a result of IMF intervention. This is the true dinar rate. There is no RV or RI. If the dinar is ever going to continue to appreciate it will be based on sound monetary and economic principles. This can only occur if Iraq opens it's banking and financial system and creates a private sector in which foreign investment can come into Iraq. Only then the dinar will appreciate in value via a float. ...As I stated, Iraq has much to do before the dinar can rise. Happy New Years to all. Let's hope 2019 is prosperous for all.
1-1-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 IMO...THE MR OF THE IQD IS ENTERING A NEW...PHASE. NO ONE KNOWS THE DATE NOR THE RATE...BUT THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF THE EVIDENCE DIRECTLY FROM THE CBI...BOLDLY AND CONFIDENTLY. IMO...THE RI HAS EVOLVED INTO A PHASE THAT WE WAIT FOR TIME TO SHOW YOU...
1-1-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan So, I don't know if they can't come out higher than the AAD or SDR for a fact, I do trust [Guru] Walkingstick, however, I do believe Alak is the one that has the purse strings at that CBI...So, we watch and wait. It very well may be an AAD rate and then climb later on.. Then again, Iraq has told us they doubled their oil reserves and are finally going to impose taxes and tariffs, claw back assets, liquid natural gas sales, minerals, etc.., therefore all would appear to support higher values now than in the past. imo... [post 2 of 2]
1-1-2019 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...I have the opinion that "The longer it takes the more money we make." With that said, my assessment ...on what Alak from the CBI has told us in regard to loans...both the bad and good. He pointed out in the interview that the bad loans were worth $5,000,000,00. So...if you take what Alak says, then drop the zeros and do the math. It comes out in the range well over the AAD. Which by the way, to determine the AAD we used the loans they publish, to ascertain the $4.25. Just as we used the IMF / SDR 3x.. Depending on which rate one uses the daily or monthly rate per the IMF SDR, one may find $4.20 + - up to $5.85... imo... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

12-31-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Here comes HCL….Article
quote: "The oil and energy parliamentary committee confirmed its intention TO APPROVE THE OIL AND GAS LAW DURING THE CURRENT PARLIAMENTARY SESSION." Iraq will need HCL and Article 140 to forward with a reinstatement...So it looks like this new govt is in support of getting this done, finally.
12-31-2018 Newshound Guru Sunkissed Article: "The Central Bank allows companies to mediate the sale and purchase of foreign currencies" THIS IS PART OF WHAT WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR!!! imo. When a company "mediates the sale" -- that 's a fancy way to say that they get to take a percentage of the profit...a broker's fee! They are outright telling you that the IQD will be traded - bought and sold - by big investment brokers. In other words...rather than the auctions done by the CBI -- now you want to EXCHANGE dinar for another currency, like the USD, Rial, Yuan, etc. Go to a brokerage firm that handles that. You don't need to come to the CBI to buy and sell the dinar or any other foreign currency! For me, this is the preamble for stopping the auctions!!
12-31-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan As for a couple other items centering around the taxes and the date of 01/01/19. Who is scheduled to be in DC just before that date? Mahdi...Who told us Monetary Reforms can take up to 5 years time? The IMF. Who told us that as of 01/01/18 that the second set of books were completed for four years? Yep! [Guru] Walkingstick! Well 01/01/2019 is the fifth year... Now that may all be circumstantial to you all, but, it sure isn’t to me... in fact the evidence suggests this year will be taken care of possibly as soon as tomorrow night [Monday] 11:59:59!! One more thing, the source that brought me the forex traders, brought me that the high level traders expect the iqd should go live 01/02/2019 or 01/03/2019 per holiday trading time lines..

Those taxes and tariffs will raise the value of their currency. The formula to calculate REER and NEER is done, just yet to be applied. One thing I have said in the past is, “The longer they take, the more money we make.”...what I mean by that Is the rate has been growing if in fact the new source (unsolicited) is right.

12-30-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...Just so everyone knows that there was NO violation of sovereignty since the Iraqi government did know about the visit. There was no meeting with Iraqi officials due to the timing of the meeting and still the uncertain security situation. The renewed “US-Iraqi Status of Forces Agreement” (SOFA) is still in force and legally allows US forces to travel to Iraqi bases. This was renewed in order for the US to come into Iraq and help fight ISIS. Remember?
12-30-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...Folks there is just too much coincidences happening and too many parallels with Iraq and the USA. You really have to settle down and quiet your mind and just think about it all rationally. We are in a HUGE transition period. We have the power to bring it sooner than later. We can make this happen...

12-29-2018 Intel Guru RVAlready “We are close but we still have a large group in Iraq that doesn't want this. That's our problem” I do not think Iraq has a large anti-RV group. Perhaps more a few powerful guys with vested interests, and a few that hate the west…. I think the general populace favors the RV…… There is, undoubtably, a group of hard core, anti-western thinkers, some aligned with Iran, some not, that do not want an RV…I prefer to concentrate on receiving the blessing, and going from there…
12-29-2018 Intel Guru RVAlready “I really think that this new government is the key and that's why iraq is having so much trouble getting it finalized because they are fighting against Iranian influence.” The RV will help so many people. It is a shame to see it held up. BTW, it will also benefit Iran, so I do not see that as a reason for a hold….. We already congratulated Iraq on having the government done. And the 3 presidents could always take the last 3 posts…Yes, their [Iran’s] government hates the west. But I do not think that is the hold. I think Jan 1 is the plan date. I do not think the CBI is holding it back. Everything I have seen says CBI wants this done.
12-29-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan My view is Mahdi is in DC now... Article quote: “He’s [President Trump] staying in Washington, D.C., over New Year’s. He’s canceled his plans for Christmas. Now, he’s canceled his plans for New Year’s,” That is a good find. It supports Mahdi and Trump, have business to tie up... imo...I see no cancellation of their meeting.. imo.
12-29-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I told everyone there are still two remaining laws to be passed to fulfill the constitutional requirements. I was told many years ago without a full implementation of the constitution there will be no reinstatement of the dinar...So...we see the HCL this week and last week Iraq talked about the Article 140 requirement. Why is this? ...the GOI has to do its part and make sure the proper bills go before parliament and parliament passes them...Or no reinstatement. So all this news about passing HCL and Article 140 suddenly shows each time we get close to any reinstatement.
12-29-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready No reason to be pessimistic about the RV at this point…..We just have no new data. There was no positive data before the Kuwait change either.
12-29-2018 Intel Guru ADMINBILL I DO NOT BELIEVE 2018 IS IN OUR CARDS SO I AM FOCUSING ON 2019. THERE APPEAR TO BE MANY THINGS COMING TO A MEETING POINT VERY SOON.

12-28-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I am hopeful that 2019 will finally be our year. Right now, it is surely shaping up that way. I can’t predict if the reinstatement will happen right at the first week in January but I will say it is very close as we see many signs. Yes, the CBI is still targeting sometime in January as this is the BEST time to do the reinstatement (but not the ONLY time they can do it).
12-28-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Arthur There is a direct correlation as to why we have never seen an implemented HCL and we have not seen the deletion of the zeros. IMO the HCL was always designed to be distributed in revaluated IQD. There is question as to whether the RV needs the HCL or the HCL needs the RV but either way they go hand in hand and need each other. The timing of this article is by no means coincidental. Nor was the "secret" visit of the POTUS to Iraq. The beginning of the 1st quarter of 2019 is looking very promising indeed. [post 2 of 2]
12-28-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Arthur GOI + HCL= RV. GOI wise... its gonna require the voting in of the 3 remaining important ministers or the PM temporarily absorbing these ministries by proxy. As for the HCL "Parliamentary intention to pass the law «oil and gas." A member of the oil and energy parliamentary committee on the reform and reconstruction movement, Ali Aboudi, the determination of his committee to approve the law of oil and gas, during the current parliamentary session." He went on to state the importance of passing this law now and that they need to "join the process of distributing the oil wealth to the people." [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
12-28-2018 Intel Guru Bruce ...We understand that everything went very well at the celebration for Iraq. I believe they have done everything we, the US and the UN, and the IMF have requested of them to do. I know that there is a group of delegates coming from Iraq to the United States here in a matter of days...Why in the world would they be coming over here? Is there something to announce. Is there something else we are going to acknowledge about Iraq? ... I heard that the rates are pretty much on the screens except we have pending notification by dinar...So when everything solidifies the pending will go away and those rates will be solid and live...We didn’t have the Christmas we thought we would have, but will we have a New Year’s celebration like we have never had before? I think that is very possible. [post 2 of 2]
12-28-2018 Intel Guru Bruce ...we were given some information... that pointed to before the end of the year. I am going to say that information I have is still valid...First of all you know President Trump made a surprise trip to Christmas Day...Yes, he did greet the troops that were there and...In addition to that his main reason for going, even though that was very important, certainly very important part of it, was to congratulate Mahdi on putting their new Parliamentary form of Government together. So he meant [met ?] not only with Mahdi, Abadi, A-lak from CBI, Barzani, and etc. He meant [met ?] with them to congratulate them and celebrate with them...We know that because we had people there for that celebration...My understanding is that he said some things relative to having a monetary reform this week and that it would be good for us.

12-27-2018 *** Dinar Guru News Flash *** U.S. President Donald Trump made a surprise visit to the troops in Iraq on Christmas evening. It's reported he assured Iraq there are no plans for the U.S. to end operations or support in the region. Stay tuned as the gurus chime in on the significance of the President Trump's visit. The latest posts will continue below...
12-27-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready ...I feel we are headed for the RV. The 2019 Iraq budget is written in post-RV numbers (billions, not trillions, of dinar). Iraq needs this RV to move forward. The CBI is clearly planning to get this done. To me, everything else is just noise.
12-27-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Quote from John Bolton, Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs: "In Iraq, President Trump spoke w/ US military leaders about the progress to secure total victory against ISIS. He also spoke w/ Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi, and invited him to visit the White House. We look forward to hosting him DC."
12-27-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat "PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKES CHRISTMAS VISIT TO TROOPS IN IRAQ" So this really happened. It has NOTHING to do with the reinstatement of the currency...However, it a sign to us that the country is getting safer. But a “state” visit was NOT the purpose of this trip for Trump. He promised to return when the government is “fully” formed. Wow! This simply a visit to the armed forces base in Anbar...the visit was not actually surprising to the Iraq government but was asked to be kept quiet. Trump did say he fully intended someday soon to return for an “official state visit” but only when Iraq was ready.
12-27-2018 Intel Guru ADMINBILL Keep your eye on the ball during the coming week and into 2019...Remember, this is a process...Truth will soon prevail...We win.
12-27-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru tman23 Damn interesting that Secretary Treasurer Steve Munchin shook the markets after it leaked that he called banks to check if they had enough liquidity...WELL DO THEY?? AND WHAT IS ABOUT TO COME? It is getting close to the New Year when Iraq MUST do the ZEROS...we shall see what that entails as this is also the year for USA infrastructre rebuild to kickoff...Like what i'm seeing...hopefully the dinar bares fruit shortly!

12-26-2018 *** Dinar Guru News Update *** Two ministers positions have been voted on and seated. Only 6 seats remain open...these include the Interior, Justice and Defense Ministries. The latest guru posts will continue below...
12-26-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "THE PARLIAMENTARY ECONOMY REVEALS EFFORTS TO AMEND THE INVESTMENT LAW TO INCREASE OPPORTUNITIES" Folks this is a BIG one. This law needed to be amended to facilitate foreign investors into Iraq. This was noted in the Kuwaiti conference and so finally we see it amended almost a year later. They sure do take their time…lol...We know for a FACT that the reinstatement of the dinar is supposed to be the launching pin of the 2018-2022 reconstruction effort. Article quote: “and to raise the market value of the Iraqi dinar”
12-26-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Article quote: "President Trump and the First Lady traveled to Iraq late on Christmas night to visit with our troops and Senior Military leadership to thank them for their service, their success, and their sacrifice and to wish them a Merry Christmas." Trump makes a surprise visit to Iraq.
12-26-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Article: "Iraqi blocs resume their dialogues for "consensus" on the remaining three ministries of the government" Quote: " ...the remaining three ministries: the defense, the interior and justice, waiting to vote in future sessions. "
12-26-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat HERE COMES ARTICLE 140, JUST IN TIME? Quote: "The President of the House of Representatives, Mohamed Halbusi, the request to host the Implementation Committee Article (140) of the Constitution to discuss the reasons for not completing the work that was formed for it." So here it is again. Folks this is not my FAKE news. This is real and finally it seems that going to implement Article 140 or pursue it again. Many say it is already done. NOT true. Like I keep telling everyone there needs to be a formal referendum (that is already written and send to parliament) then it needs to be voted on and implemented. Then it is done.[See the Dinar Guru Resource Bar on the left of this page for the full "possible list of to-do's" list.]

12-25-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Kurdish parties announce two agreements on Kirkuk" Well this sounds to me like they have things hammered out, as they have an official book out in circulation on the matter of Article 140. They apparently are getting their share of what is entitled to them. In other words they are getting paid here soon and or now... If that is what this is saying, it is a very good sign and the timing is absolutely perfect to end they 2018 year and usher in the new into 2019.. We all expect to see the new currency (small categories) with the Kurds language on it too. Time will tell. imo.
12-25-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "SAUDI ARABIA KEEPS THE EXCHANGE RATE PEGGED AT 3.75 RIYALS TO THE DOLLAR" Quote: "Saudi Arabia keeps the exchange rate pegged at 3.75 Riyals to the dollar." The question is this - Can Iraq sustain an 8th of a penny per dinar and think that it can easily trade with neighboring countries in an open market? How about incoming investors? How will they get their profits out of Iraq? Will they have to convert their profits in dinars to the US dollars first in the CBI currency auction? Oh – but maybe this is what Washington wants since it will create a demand for US Dollars and help stabilize the rate of the US dollar? Just asking. Could this also be part of the holdup in reinstating the dinar back to international status?
12-25-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling Every once in a while I’ll get an email that says, “Hey, what are your sources saying in Iraq.” I don’t have “sources” anywhere. There’s nobody in Iraq that can explain geopolitics and how this works or how currency works or anything like that. They don’t have a damn clue. The people I talk to actually they have access to people in the parliament…what I do is try to get at is, what are they talking about…then I can gauge what they are thinking. That’s all it is. I don’t have “insider” information. I don’t need it and neither should you. That’s the whole point of me trying to talk and frame this up the way it is, the reality of it based on geopolitics…you should be very very happy right now…I know this stuff takes a long time…it was never meant to be a “get quick rich scheme”…that’s the hype that I hate. Hype is out of the window…Reality. Geopolitics. Markets. That’s it. You should be very very happy.
12-25-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf [...currencies fluctuate that is a fact!] It is not a fact. Only currencies on a floating exchange arrangement move on a continuous basis in line with foreign exchange activity, known as appreciation/depreciation. Currencies on a fixed exchange arrangement are exactly that, "fixed" by the country concerned, they do not fluctuate. If a significant difference develops between the foreign exchange market and the fixed rate, the central bank may intervene to remove the differential. This used to be common in Vietnam, they had many devaluations over a short period of time. Fixed exchange currencies are revalued/devalued. Only about a third of the world's currencies are on a floating exchange arrangement.

12-24-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraqi TV is broadcasting a member from Parliament stating that Iraq has entered a "new phase" of stability and security. The Budget has been finalized with the second reading. The 5 remaining cabinet members have not been concluded...yet.
12-24-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling They [Iraq] need to do two things with the oil prices going down. They need business and international investments coming into Iraq. Well they’ve set that stage up for the last five or six years…and they haven’t stopped. They’re still trying to do it today…the other part is if they are not making money selling energy…what currency are they using to make money off that energy? The U.S. dollar. If they are not bring in any U.S. dollars that cuts them off at the knees right? They need to add value to their currency. That’s exactly what they’re talking about. [Post 2 of 2]
12-24-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling Everyone knows I don’t do date and rate but people [ask] what’s the season [approximate time]? The reason people are asking me that…the reason that question has been so heavy lately is because you start looking at the price per barrel. It’s getting into that range where it’s a threat to Iraq. That means you guys are paying attention! That makes me so happy…These guys are getting to the breaking point. Bingo…Thank God for us that we’ve invested in a currency that is Iraq’s weapon. That is their savior to add value to their currency. But it’s a two pronged attack for Iraq. [Post 1 of 2]

12-22-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Iraq is slotted to be a “central hub” of commerce for the Middle East. But a dinar rate of just 1/8 of a penny is not sufficient to make this happen!
12-22-2018 Newshound/Intel RVAlready [Finding it a little hard to believe that everything is done, since they keep stalling.] ...hate to say it, but I think the target has been 1 Jan 2019 for quite a while.

12-21-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [What’s up with the GOI formation? Will it happen? In your opinion, do you think this is coming closer to an RV?] GOI formation is proceeding very good IMO. Everyone should keep in mind that Iraq will never have a fully seated government with absolutely 0 contested seats. We are talking about a society that operates very different than anywhere outside the Middle East. 80% good is about as good as it will ever get, and we are pretty much there.
12-21-2018 Intel Guru ADMINBILL WE SEEM TO BE IN A STATE OF FLUX AS FAR AS THE CURRENCY MOVEMENT IS TODAY. WE SHALL SEE.

12-21-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We are just waiting for the next step.

It is all going to come real fast and with a great change to Iraq. With this flood will bring what we want- finally! Be patient and hang in there, it is coming.

12-20-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "IRAQ IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S RICHEST COUNTRIES" Quote: “the Central Bank has a future plan to restructure the Iraqi currency, including the deletion of zeros”. ...to me this looks like there is a long term plan to issue a 100,000 dinar note. Why is this if they want to complete the project to delete the zeros? So this article says the CBI is holding off on this idea (pending) for now. My guess is...they are doing this and will not launch this 100,000 dinar note until after the reinstatement and then only use it for inter-banking transactions for trade and reconstruction transfers of money payments of large sums. The average citizen may NEVER see this category. So this is the real reason for this 100k note.

Goldman Sachs today told us they expect the emerging markets to appreciate upwards of 10% to the good. Well, imo that may very well be low. However, not a bad trade for the big boyz. So, when I say the wind is blowing, they are gearing up for the storm. They will fill their sails and ride on Iraq's draft up. They will be in the basket of currencies. Iraq goes up the region goes up...So the precursor showing strength is showing the region knows what is coming and are getting into the currencies now to ride out the storm... In other words make more money...
12-20-2018 Intel Guru ADMINBILL Optimism for a 2018 RV/GCR remains in place and has had a minor increase. But time is running out for this year. Remember - This is a PROCESS that has no specific end date.
12-20-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [When did Iraq become a sovereign nation?...] Iraq has long been a sovereign nation, but they lost some freedoms in 2003 with the overthrow of Saddam. Their currency plummeted in value, they had to travel a very long road to get where they are today. Chapter 7 was lifted in 2013, which marked a major milestone for them regaining their position in the world. Since then, they have established a very balanced and stable government and worked their way to the point we are currently at - in position to implement the new Hydro Carbon Law, which will likely trigger a change in the value their currency is traded at.
12-20-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf ...I agree with Kap [Guru Kaperoni] on a few things. There's no RI or big RV coming. There can never be any Reinstatement of the IQD, something has to have gone before it can come back. The IQD has always been the national currency of Iraq, the IQD has never been an Article 8 currency and any change in value would be a revaluation.

12-19-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ... I'm excited for the new year to roll in!... At the moment there is a distinct lack of news regarding HCL. I believe there is a good reason for this - and it's good for our 2019 outlook. Many many things are being taken care of, stamped, passed, and resolved right now. Things that are essential for forward progress. But, the fact remains... that pesky and elusive HCL is simply not on the table right now. As soon as we see word about it, then we can get excited! For now... patience is a virtue, and we have plenty. Don't get me wrong here! They aren't sleeping on the job... Fingers crossed for some HCL news soon...
12-19-2018 Intel Guru Bruce The one thing we were waiting here [U.S.] today and I believe we got it today. That one thing had to do with renewing an Executive Order by the President that expired yesterday [Monday] that needed to be reintroduced or re-extended as of today. ...I believe that is what may put us over the edge as far as being ready to go. I have been told they will do it in the next couple of days. They will do this final announcement of their rate and the announcement in fact they are a sovereign nation with a world exchangeable currency. Then guys we should be Go Time. I can’t give you a date or time for it, but I believe we are coming in where now does President Trump want this to go before Christmas? Yes. Is this supposed to be our week to go? Yes. [post 3 of 3]
12-19-2018 Intel Guru Bruce We got oil prices dropping below $50. That is putting a squeeze on Iraq to get done what they need to do in terms of making this announcement. It just might be right where it needs to be to get them to do that. If prices go down too much more, it is going to really bust their budget which is based on oil at a certain price which I thought was in the $44 - $46 barrel range for their budget. So this is really important. We are getting down to the wire that they need to do that. They need to release this information and get it done. I believe that was the one thing we were waiting for out of Iraq. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
12-19-2018 Intel Guru Bruce Every time we think Iraq is out of the way and complete we find no they needed to do one more thing... It seems like the one more thing now is just they need to announce their independence and the fact they have a revalued currency that is tradable worldwide. They just need to say it. It is more of a formality than anything else is where we are right now. Yes they were supposed to do that this morning [Tuesday]... Why didn’t it happen? What is happening OPEC is being left with about 4 oil producing countries in the organization? It is coming apart. What is happening is the US is getting bigger and bigger in oil. We are almost controlling the price of oil now whereas before Saudi Arabia was controlling the price. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]
12-19-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat This is the way I see this playing out. Suddenly Mahdi’s cabinet is completed. The reconstruction funds start to release within a week. But there is a lag since it takes time to get the projects underway. Not too far in the distance the reinstatement occurs. Also the CBI soon releases the 50 and 100 smaller denominations and maybe along with the 100,000 notes. The process is kicked into high gear…. How long will all this take? I know the CBI was targeting for EARLY Jan 2019 but with delays in forming the government I am not so sure now since time is ticking…tic toc,,,tic toc… Be patient and let’s get the govt fully formed and functional first. The rest will fall into place.
12-19-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 Iraq one of the richest countries in the world...4th place globally holding the largest amount of US Bonds... Because USA is open to Iraq, because of a MIRRORING! The RI of the IQD is UNSTOPPABLE.. it is coming out of a Program Rate ...as long as International trade market gets it...it will EXPLODE!
12-19-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ... I'm excited for the new year to roll in!... At the moment there is a distinct lack of news regarding HCL. I believe there is a good reason for this - and it's good for our 2019 outlook. Many many things are being taken care of, stamped, passed, and resolved right now. Things that are essential for forward progress. But, the fact remains... that pesky and elusive HCL is simply not on the table right now. As soon as we see word about it, then we can get excited! For now... patience is a virtue, and we have plenty. Don't get me wrong here! They aren't sleeping on the job... Fingers crossed for some HCL news soon...
12-19-2018 Intel Guru Bruce The one thing we were waiting here [U.S.] today and I believe we got it today. That one thing had to do with renewing an Executive Order by the President that expired yesterday [Monday] that needed to be reintroduced or re-extended as of today. ...I believe that is what may put us over the edge as far as being ready to go. I have been told they will do it in the next couple of days. They will do this final announcement of their rate and the announcement in fact they are a sovereign nation with a world exchangeable currency. Then guys we should be Go Time. I can’t give you a date or time for it, but I believe we are coming in where now does President Trump want this to go before Christmas? Yes. Is this supposed to be our week to go? Yes. [post 3 of 3]
12-19-2018 Intel Guru Bruce We got oil prices dropping below $50. That is putting a squeeze on Iraq to get done what they need to do in terms of making this announcement. It just might be right where it needs to be to get them to do that. If prices go down too much more, it is going to really bust their budget which is based on oil at a certain price which I thought was in the $44 - $46 barrel range for their budget. So this is really important. We are getting down to the wire that they need to do that. They need to release this information and get it done. I believe that was the one thing we were waiting for out of Iraq. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
12-19-2018 Intel Guru Bruce Every time we think Iraq is out of the way and complete we find no they needed to do one more thing... It seems like the one more thing now is just they need to announce their independence and the fact they have a revalued currency that is tradable worldwide. They just need to say it. It is more of a formality than anything else is where we are right now. Yes they were supposed to do that this morning [Tuesday]... Why didn’t it happen? What is happening OPEC is being left with about 4 oil producing countries in the organization? It is coming apart. What is happening is the US is getting bigger and bigger in oil. We are almost controlling the price of oil now whereas before Saudi Arabia was controlling the price. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]

12-18-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni So it looks like PM Mahdi got a few of his cabinet in today but not all of them...so this continues. PM Mahdi has stated that Thursday's parliament session will complete the cabinet.

12-18-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraqi TV reported that Parliament did not vote on the cabinet members today and postponed such event until next week. Citizens in several cities are upset and have started civil unrest by burning chairs and protesting in streets due to the lack of reforms and (publicly) forming the government. Maliki supporters are being blamed for the negative situations in Iraq...according to local citizens.
12-18-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Like most countries, Iraq would not care if their currency appreciates at the expense of a booming economy. That is how market forces work. A central bank uses its tools to manage monetary policy based effects in the marketplace. An example would be raising the value to counter inflation. Iraq currently has very low inflation less than 3%. If Iraq opens the doors to global investment, it may create the pressure the CBI is looking for to raise the value. We can only hope.

I would suggest this is part of a necessary end for Iraq now that Monetary Reforms are gearing to be on a different page if you will, imo, that had/has to be done because of the volume of trade between Iraq and Iran. A letter of credit is commonly for International Trade between parties. It is serious business. ...Go figure the timing of it too. IMO. Lets not forget Rick Perry and all those Companies in Iraq may need them too. By the way, CitiBank is one a large providers of Letters of Credit Globally.. They are Directly involved with Iraq as we know. Iraq wants guarantee they get paid for imports and exports. Fairly sure Iran in an unstable environment.. lol This is seriously looking good, imo..

12-17-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Many now also have credit and debit cards to pay their bills and so don’t walk around with wads of cash. This enabled the CBI to reduce the 3 zero notes by 2/3, which was part of the plan they told us in 2011 had to happen as part of the project to delete the zeros. Overall this is all VERY good. But this is a VERY slow process...So as outside investors in Iraq we...sit and wait...our wealth will come from a simple reinstatement of the currency back to the trading platforms and going international once again.

12-17-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat SO WHERE ARE WE IN THIS INVESTMENT RIGHT NOW? We are waiting for the government to get “fully” formed and settle this political crisis. There is and always has been a requirement to have a fully functional government in place and an adherence and “full” implementation of the Iraqi constitution to get the reinstatement of their currency. We can see that the CBI is ready to do something with so much talk and emphasis now stemming around these smaller category notes. We know that the ATMs are launched already and dispensing these notes for petty cash. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

To bring in investors is all part of creating the atmosphere conducive to investors, which in turn, is the state of the economy needed to trigger the reinstatement. It is all coming together.

12-16-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat What remains in this process to get ready for a reinstatement of the dinar? They said that the dinar has gone through the currency reform process and is ready. There is nothing more for the CBI to do in this regard except the CBI must conduct the final phase of the “project to delete the zeros”. It is now more of a political will and cautionary measures, notably the stability of the dinar against the dollar and keeping inflation down by up to 2% at the level of foreign reserves within the rates according to international standards with foreign reserve cash for Iraq (we know the reserves are now above these needed levels.)
12-16-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready [I think its going to come in quietly with no big to do.

12-16 2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty Source in Iraq says PM Abdel-Mahdi is preparing to send nominee names to Parliament for approval for 6 of 8 unfilled cabinet positions, less Ministers of Defense & Interior, which remain locked in controversy.
12-16-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan If we look at the value he places on the 6 billion dinar you get $.83 per unit or dinar in dollar terms. 6 bln IQD = 5 mln USD or $.83 per USD. So then that means 37 Billion Dinars equates to $30,710,000.00 USD. Now remember that he can't tell you yet, that the zeros are dropped, as they haven't as far as I can tell, yet. But, we expect them to when the time is right as he clearly taught us through articles. The 6 billion dinars becomes 6 million once they delete three zeros off the exchange rate and thus 37 billion dinars becomes 37 million by definition. [post 2 of 2]

It is not a bad ratio for what they have been through to date. My point is that the value of the 6 bln Dinars is key that Alak points it out, imo. Why? Well it gives a value of that 6 bln. Alak cannot openly come out and tell us a rate or a date literally to the tee.. But, he can in my opinion indirectly point us to it with forward guidance. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

12-15-2018 Newshound Guru Phillyman Article: "Hitti: Investors are waiting for the government to stabilize its commitments" ...it has been fascinating for me to follow the news about the fight against ISIS then the start of investment coming into Iraq. Investment conferences have come and gone though without the major reconstruction we would like to see. This article may have the answer why. Quote: "The head of the Iraqi Reconstruction Fund, Mustapha al-Hiti, said Saturday that the countries investing in Iraq are waiting for the stability of the Iraqi government to start implementing its pledges."
12-15-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Many are saying the dinar is now international. Is this true? Confirmed by the CBI – DINAR IS NOT YET INTERNATIONALLY REINSTATED. The CBI also wanted to tell me that Iraq’s currency is NOT yet internationally recognized as it still has to be reinstated in the financial trading sectors as from the war sanctions. They know about lots of rumors and speculation is floating around that is it. They told me that it is one thing to be ready and have all the banking reforms in place in order to conduct international transactions but another reality to conduct business with the outside banking system once again using a VALUED dinar. Currently they are attempting to make this transition to de-peg off the dollar but it is difficult but they know it has to be done and is planned “sooner than later”.
12-15-2018 Newshound Guru Don961 Article: "Kurdistan announces the implementation of Article 140 of the Constitution" Sounds like some people in Kurdistan are spreading news that 140 is implemented... and are trying to erect barriers and borders...but no one told the residents yet...Either shenanigans or it has happened behind the scenes but not announced yet ...either something happened to assure it...or KRG is making assumptions and jumping the gun.
12-15-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [...in ur opinion...when is the time to give up?] If they were to lop their currency for a net 0 gain, then it's over. The odds of that happening are definitely not high.

12-14-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat In Europe we hearing you are already educating the citizens on the new smaller category notes. Is this true? Yes, the CBI has recently launched the issuance of the second edition of banknotes categories (25000, 10000.1000, 500.250) dinars. These versions have high level security features and are more usable. We have not yet issued any other small categories. Is there any plans to take these 25,000 and 10,000 notes out of circulation soon? NO. The current effort now is just to replace the amounts now already in circulation with cleaner, more secure versions. The CBI has already reduced the amount of these denominations as needed for currency reform. (I was also told that these notes would remain in circulation for at least 10 more years in the future and the plan is to use them mostly for inter-banking transactions for trading partners and not common street use.) [stay tuned for more questions and answers ...with my CBI representative]

12-14-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraqi TV was reporting that the 2019 Budget would contain stipends of 100,000 dinar to non-employee citizens. [so, should citizens be excited about a $100 stipend or is a RV in the works? Would $100 a month excite you?] ...Reportedly, a "political" breakthrough has occurred with all cabinet members supposedly being voted and passed at the next Parliament meeting ...Maybe it already did!
12-14-2018 Intel Guru Bruce As far as Iraq is concern, they have completed everything that they needed to do. ...from the banking perspective... things are extremely quiet right now, more so than they have been. ...It doesn’t get that quiet unless there is a reason for it. What we have heard was that banks have been receiving notifications. ...I do not have what was in that of course. I find the timing of it was interesting... ...we found out...the rates on the bank screens were sort of on for 45 minutes than off for 45 minutes, then on for 45 minutes then off... we would say those rates need to stabilize and they need to stay permanent... My understanding is the rates are in Canada will be the same as they will be here. ...We have heard any moment for a few days now...we are so far along in this process...there is a timing to it and we believe that timing is very close for us.
12-14-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana I'm not sure if we can expect to see a 2018 RV, but 1st quarter 2019 looks extremely promising. Prove me wrong, Iraq...
12-14-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat As far as I know I am still hearing good news on the reinstatement process and it is still on target for LATE Dec or EARLY Jan period. I know there are lots of rumors now flying around as usual about some window of opportunity for an RV happening this entire week. This is simply NOT true. So in this regards, I had a recent conversation with my CBI representative and the following is what I was told in response to my questions. Is there a plan now to RV the currency this week sometime? NO...The dinar is not planned for a revaluation. The dinar must first go through a “reinstatement” process. This is a series of approvals but we believe we are close... (I have been telling everyone this. Any significant change in value that we want comes from the “float” on the currency once it is reinstated. This is NOT a revaluation but a market drive on the rate due to speculation. It will then settle down to what the IMF calls its “nominal effective rate”) [stay tuned for more questions and answers]

12-13-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling There has been countries that have taken zeros off their currency and then the currency gains value later on down the road. So let’s say they do do a LOP on the currency you and I have. That doesn’t take it out of play to revalue. Worse case scenario let’s say it did LOP it will still gain value so it’s never been a threat to me at all. If you look at the definition of these countries on how they lopped and what their economy was at and what they were trying to do was completely different than Iraq. Remember the Iraqi dinar is not at a real market rate. It’s completely manipulated. They can do anything they want with it but their intent from the CBI is to add value to it… [Post 2 of 2]
12-13-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling Questions: “A LOP. What the heck does that mean and why we don’t see it as being a real possibility? By definition a lop is taking the zeros off the notes and pretending they’re not there and using the same notes. It’s funny that someone says it’s going to be a lop and at the same time talks about other notes being printed…well if they’re going to lop and pretend there are three zeros missing then they don’t need to print more currency do they.

12-11-2018 Intel Guru Delta ...they might give us a sucker bid, like we said a long time ago...come out at $1.20, then of course after 6 months, whatever the date is, then throw the exact number there like $2.85, $3.00, whatever it is. But based on... details right now from the CBI website, I mean the rate really has to be high in order for them to do that. And make it more attractive. Remember, the citizens, they want more attractive, especially investors. They need the real numbers to come out like that. And based on...information from the BIS, a month or two months ago, when I-Team reported that $2.85 was showing, so it could be a higher rate, but according to my calculations...they should really be in the $2.85 to $3.00 range in order for them to cover all this money.

12-11-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch ...the CBI absolutely CAN launch the VLD (very low denominations) without any further preparation other than printing them and explaining to the Iraqi citizens about their characteristics. No long and slow climb needed, since purchasing power should remain a constant, or even enticingly favorable to Iraqis in their daily lives. The underlying support for turning 44 trillion into 44 billion is there, and there may even be a case made for fractional reserve gold-backing mechanisms should they decide that to be one of the new currency characteristics. And while there have been some rumors of new notes being printed already, I've yet to see any actual artwork for the same. That doesn't mean they don't have them hidden away somewhere. Just that I haven't seen them.

12-10-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat But we can see that they have surely moved already to the next level and important step. For years and years they struggled just to get the banking reforms in place. Not they have the ATMs running, electronic payrolls, electronic POS, credit cards, and emphasis on just petty cash and not wads of cash in pockets the day on and after payday. We see the banks are now liquid and loans are being given based on “credit rating” criteria. So this economy is slowly being converted over to the global banking systems. So much progress has been made towards the “project to delete the zeros”. [post 2 of 2]
12-10-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat The CBI has told me many times that they can not just launch these very low. lower denominations like the new polymer 5,10,25,50 100 and coins until the economy is suited for them. So how do they get the economy suited for them? They have a plan. First they must slowly make the 250, 500 and 1000 in demand, use electronic banking for larger purchases, then as the economy grows begin to launch these other notes. I would be looking for the 50 and the 100 notes next. At some point they will reinstate the dinar but we don’t know just at what point of equilibrium it will be. To do this means an educational process of what these newer polymer notes look like and how to use them. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

A dandy of an article.. ...And it looks as though they'll legitimize the Cab, as in pronto per Sadr! - imo I wonder if they mean where they say delivering their achievements means they have delivered their new currency too...??? Inter-bank style between Central Banks??

12-9-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling ...We are kicking butt and taking names in Iraq. Don’t get too stuck on $55 [price per barrel] that it has to be there. I say you change the value of the currency before that but that’s just me…If it goes below…what they need for price per barrel for the country to function…they’re definitely going to need to add value to their currency to be able to make up for that…This is the language coming out of the committees…they are looking at being able to do business with the west. And they’re looking at sidetracking any policy that OPEC gets together and we’ll see what they do. No body knows what they’ll do. This is the language. The other thing is ok, they’re in the…western markets, 'why don’t we start adding value to our currency so we can get that much more into our markets.' Do you see what I’m saying? That’s what they’re talking about. That’s the language that they’re using. How they’ll do it? When they’ll do it? [He doesn’t know either] But everything is in place exactly what we’ve been talking about. We’re watching it like we’re supposed to and that’s all we can do. I’m very very happy about what’s going on…
12-9-2018 Intel Guru Delta Now you have to ask yourself, where is the Central Bank of Iraq getting those numbers from? The Fractional numbers. ...where is the Iraqi Market getting those fractions from? Like 1193.853. Where are they bringing those .853? The ONLY way they can do that is they have to be linked internationally to be able to do that! ...So, that gives you indication that the Central Bank of Iraq should show the numbers today or tomorrow, this week, or next week, whatever it is. But the numbers have to show up...they have to plug in now the Iraqi exchange rate...they’re going to show us the numbers. Those fractional numbers, they’re not made for the CBI. Those basic rates, calculated, based on the international numbers and this is really very significant.

I’m very very happy about what’s going on…
12-9-2018 Intel Guru Delta Now you have to ask yourself, where is the Central Bank of Iraq getting those numbers from? The Fractional numbers. ...where is the Iraqi Market getting those fractions from? Like 1193.853. Where are they bringing those .853? The ONLY way they can do that is they have to be linked internationally to be able to do that! ...So, that gives you indication that the Central Bank of Iraq should show the numbers today or tomorrow, this week, or next week, whatever it is. But the numbers have to show up...they have to plug in now the Iraqi exchange rate...they’re going to show us the numbers. Those fractional numbers, they’re not made for the CBI. Those basic rates, calculated, based on the international numbers and this is really very significant.
12-8-2018 Intel Guru Delta ...So what’s gonna happen is remember, they’re going to introduce the lower denomination notes and add value that’s going to replace and phase out the 3-zero notes. So how much do they have in total? They have about 43 trillion outside the bank, which is worth about 40 billion dollars. So..., this 1 trillion dinars they have, they should have a very high value, in order for them to replace THE WHOLE VALUE of the 43 trillion dinars. ...So the calculations, the mathematics is going to be like this: 1 Trillion New Iraqi Dinars is going to be equivalent to the 43 Trillion Dinars. This is really HUGE and amazing. So the exchange rate has to be, based on we’ve got here, has to be close to $2.85 to $3.00...

12-8-2018 Intel Gurus Delta and Frank26 They changed how they are putting their mathematical rate on their site. This is exciting...they didn’t give us an exchange rate. Because now we’re going to have the exact exchange rate based on international calculations, which is where it’s going to be $1.50 to $2.00, $3.00, whatever they come up. But definitely the numbers are all calculated...It looks like the CBI now is ready to release the new rate and it could happen at any moment now...

12-8-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling Article: “Iraq, Kuwait and Qatar are the only major OPEC producers able to balance their budget. According to current prices of 58 dollars per barrel Iraq, Kuwait and Qatar are the only major producers who can balance their budget…Kuwait needs $48 to reach break even point. While Qatar can balance it’s budget by a barrel of oil of about $47…according to IMF data Iraq requires $55 per barrel.” So there we have it…the budget that I had and the numbers I was looking at was about $58 to $60. So I don’t know where these numbers come from but let’s assume these guys are right they’re saying the data came from the IMF. “Iraq requires $55 per barrel to achieve a break. Saudi Arabia needs $88.” We know Saudi Arabi doesn’t need $88 anymore because they got opened up to U.S. markets. So the UAE needs $71. Amman [Jordan] needs $77. Iran needs $111…and Libya needs $114. So that’s what we’re looking at, $55 per barrel. Remember it’s long-term…We’re trying to shut out Iran. We’re trying to offer a way out to Iraq that makes them a partner with us. And they’re probably going to take it because they’re looking at what’s happening with Saudi Arabia.

12-7-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So Thursday came and went and still no vote on the remaining two last ministers...the minister of interior and defense... But negotiations are now underway. ...President Barham Saleh confirmed the completion of the government formation in accordance with the constitution. We know that Iraq had until Dec 4th to meet the constitutional deadline to form the government. But what about the other 2 ministers for Mahdi’s cabinet? So this news from Saleh is not entirely accurate. But technically they can say it is since Mahdi just uses the “proxy” excuse and assumes the interior and defense ministers himself.
12-7-2018 Intel Guru Bruce ...We know we can celebrate on the one hand because Iraq finally did what it is they were supposed to do putting everything in the Gazette...Wednesday as indicated. We had confirmations that happened. We do have confirmation of a rate...today for the Iraqi dinar at $6.78. It does not mean that is the final rate, but it is the rate that was available today. It can be traded up and it can be traded down. It is just an indicator for you. ...I know Iraq is done. Iraq has done what they said they would do. ...I think we are in the position we can say virtually anytime. ...I am not going to call it. I am just going to tell you I think we are really looking good the next couple of days.
12-7-2018 Intel Gurus Frank26 and Delta ...another huge thing...I do think, they are de-pegging from the dollar.

12-5-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I agree with Kap [Guru Kaperoni] in that the CBI has told us this is a 3 year process. So we are now at the end of this process. In fact if we get out of this year we have passed it. But remember the CBI just can’t trigger the event in a day and expect to transition the currency over that same day. It takes time and there are mechanisms to put in place over months if not years. One such mechanism was “electronic banking”. Another we can clearly see was the ATMs. In March-Oct we witnessed yet another the effort to get the people over to using the lower category notes. But this third mechanism only works because these other two mechanisms were already in place. If you are studying this process to delete the zeros you can clearly see the progression of what the CBI is doing to get them to the reinstatement timeframe.

I am just saying that it is moving in the right direction. I will say this as well. The Vietnamese dong at this point is within 6% to 8% of the Iraqi dinar. It should stay there within 6% to 8% because they are trying to level the playing field with the dinar, the dong, and I do not know how many other currencies are going to be that close on par, but I do know those two are relatively close.

12-4-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...the 2% rule has nothing to do with the choice of float...the 2% rule has to do with stability within Iraq and keeping the dinar exchange rate consistant within the country...the 2% rule is meant to eliminate MCPs within the country...not related at all to the nominal exchange rate of the currency...unfortuately many people do not understand the terminology used by the IMF and others related to monetary policy...an example is MCPs or Multiple Currency Practice...MCP does not mean two currencies or dinar and dollar as some like to say. It means the price of an Item in one part of the country vs the price of the same item in another part.
12-4-2018 Guest Guru Doc.K [Guru ChrisC...Why does everyone think decimal places equals fils? Using fils at this rate would be ludicrous. If we don't see that decimal point move to the left, I don't get what we are dancing about.] In order to have parity or an exchange rate with a major currency, they need to change to the same 2 place decimal system to convert. i.e. The USD does not have $1.259 it is only $1.25 or $1.26. This forces them to use a fraction of a dinar ( a fil = the metals) in the market place and INTERNATIONALLY. They are not dealing with WHOLE #s anymore as in $1 usd = 1200 dinars.

Though not a requirement, I do expect this consultation to occur before any move to Article VIII.
12-4-2018 Newshound Guru Kirk H. Sowell So they managed quorum after all, with 168 MPs, parliament is meeting. But quorum is 165 so that's a very narrow margin of error if they try to hold a vote, just four could walk out and break quorum.
12-4-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf ...Although what Kap [Guru Kaperoni] says is perfectly valid I would not agree. Floating the currency would not be a normal course of action for an emerging economy. Egypt was pushed into a float and look what happened...I doubt if that is what people want to see. It is not only emerging economies at risk, the Russian Rouble became fully convertible in 2006 but avoided the risk of floating until 2014, again a significant drop in currency value. ...I for one would hope that Iraq does not face similar problems.

12-4-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [And The reason why the IMF is still preventing Iraq to become ARTICLE VIII?] They are in compliance now but have not had their 2018 Article IV Consultation yet because the government has not been officially formed. Though not a requirement, I do expect this consultation to occur before any move to Article VIII.
12-4-2018 Newshound Guru Kirk H. Sowell So they managed quorum after all, with 168 MPs, parliament is meeting. But quorum is 165 so that's a very narrow margin of error if they try to hold a vote, just four could walk out and break quorum.
12-4-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf ...Although what Kap [Guru Kaperoni] says is perfectly valid I would not agree. Floating the currency would not be a normal course of action for an emerging economy. Egypt was pushed into a float and look what happened...I doubt if that is what people want to see. It is not only emerging economies at risk, the Russian Rouble became fully convertible in 2006 but avoided the risk of floating until 2014, again a significant drop in currency value. ...I for one would hope that Iraq does not face similar problems.
12-4-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready I think it is a good week for Allaq to push the button. They really need the RV to move forward…So much of what they want to do needs money. The RV will supply that.
12-4-2018 Newshound Guru Kirk H. Sowell So today may be a big day in #Iraq politics, with parliament scheduled to meet...with completing the cabinet of PM Adil Abd al-Mahdi on the agenda. Or maybe it will wimper & fail to make quorum, or just skip the cabinet votes & be nothing.

12-3-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready [Tomorrow is the day for the vote on the final Iraqi ministers.] There is always a fight in Iraq over the cabinet. Nothing new here. The folks saying delay tomorrow...just their personal opinion. I think they will finish most or all of the posts tomorrow… The Secretary General of the UN is led there, adding his support.

I have been watching this and not saying anything for several days, but why is everyone so worked up over decimal points?

12-2-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...Iraq can not RV the currency. The CBI must first reinstate the currency back on the exchanges. Any significant change in value (RV) will come from a managed float afterwards. So the reinstatement must take place first...this new development of not using the US dollar for trade with Iran may be our saving grace and force the CBI to do something soon...

12-2-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [Isn’t article 8 the reinstatement of their currency on to international trading platforms?] No. It is a standard of banking practice. The dinar is international now, just most if not all banks choose not to trade or do business with until that standard is met.

12-1-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat [...Have you had any direct contact with you CBI source to confirm that they are on track for late Dec or early 2019? The news you present is extremely exciting and is falling into place just like you predicted.] yes, and yes... However they must get this govt formed and they must keep Iranian influence out of it. This is now what the CBI is waiting for. So if this all lines up in late Dec, EARLY Jan I am hearing they will do it.
12-1-2018 Intel Guru Footforward [...Do think the dinar will revalue or am I living a fantasy? Should I get rid of it?] I can't tell you what to do. But I'm not getting rid of mine and I'm buying more. I believe this will happen.
12-1-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The best we can hope for is the CBI moves to Article VIII under the IMF. Then float the currency as investors begin to rebuild Iraq. Only then as investors/investment comes into Iraq can the dinar begin to appreciate gradually. This is a process not a overnight event...
12-1-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat 3) Just prior to the event they begin the slow education to the citizens and we are now witnessing this event once again. We are getting very close... I do not believe the CBI will just launch all the newer smaller category notes all at once. But rather they will slowly phase in the newer notes (5, 10,25,50,100) and fils (coins) as the economy dictates... Yes, I can now truly say we are now entering this window of opportunity but we must be patient and just wait for FACTUAL news to come out. [post 2 of 2]
12-1-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So I already proved to everyone why the end of the year (late Dec or EARLY Jan) is the BEST and MOST OPPORTUNE time period for Iraq to drop the zeros and then reinstate the currency. 1) Jan 1st is the beginning of the financial fiscal year within Iraq... 2) In ALL, and I mean ALL, of the previous, legitimate periods to reinstate the currency, they CBI always planned within LATE December to EARLY January to do it.

So over the last month we see little bits and pieces of the mentioning of the “project to delete the zeros” in many of these articles. Why now? Why mention this project so much now? This project is on the minds of many as they know we are getting closer to the period when the CBI has promised many times already to deliver on their promises.

11-29-2018 Newshound Guru Mnt Goat Is the Iraqi currency International? ...let me debunk this rumor once again about any VISA or MASTERCARD going international and issued from an Iraqi bank. First, I will once again define what it means for a currency to be international: 1) for the IMF must recognize the currency under Article 8 of the UN member charter; 2) the currency MUST be tradable throughout the world not just in one area of the globe; 3)the currency, because it is recognized and traded around the globe, it is listed on the currency exchanges, where it is freely traded. Does it meet all of these conditions? Of course not...So these Iraqi cards are NOT yet really international yet. At least not yet. But they do have this capability for the future.
11-29-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [...they have already reduced the money supply.] ...Wrong! This has not happened. If it did the auctions would be out of balance.

11-29-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So I would not use this “alleged” past corruption at the CBI for any reason to hold up the reinstatement now. This is moving forward.

11-28-2018 *** Dinar Guru News Update *** [CBI Updated again today] After a fourteen day delay, the CBI reported the market rate for the Iraqi Dinar from November 14th to the 27th [They updated again today 28th as too]...something is different. Starting on the 14th they began reporting the Dollar Exchange Rate / in IRAQ Markets. Previously the market rate was reported in the Baghdad Markets. You'll also notice the Official Market Rate listed in the left column of this page now contains 3 decimal places...the previously reported rate did not contain decimal places. Today's 1194.197 reported market rate is the strongest the market rate has been in nearly 2 years. Stay tuned as the gurus chime in to discuss the significance of these Central Bank of Iraq changes...the latest guru posts will continue below...
11-28-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [Do you still think the start of the float of the dinar will happen this year?] Im hoping...but i am waiting for some things to happen first..completion of new goi, IMF consultation.
11-28-2018 Intel Guru ADMINBill This could be a very interesting week.
11-28-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Do they then begin to use the newer even lower denominated small category notes and finally trigger this deletion the zeros project? This will mean a 1:1 within Iraq and a reinstatement of the dinar. But do they have the support of the IMF and the USA to reinstate the dinar and do it now? Remember these small category notes are already printed in volume and stored as needed to support the economy of Iraq and for trade. So this piece is already in place and there will be no additional expense to the CBI. ...So here we sit waiting and watching to see what the CBI will do. [post 2 of 2]
11-28-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I do know for a FACT that they already recalled and burned over 2/3 of the three zero notes. How do I know this is FACT? BECAUSE THEY TOLD THE PUBLIC OF IRAQ IN THE NEWS MEDIA this is why. The move to electronic banking did allow for the conversion of paper to electronic digital. So they could just then burn the paper. ...So reduce the notes in circulation means to take them out the hands of the general public and the banks. ...The remaining 1/3 will be used for trade and inter-banking transactions. They have told us this many times. Oh- but now they have a dilemma. Seems they told us they decided to trade exclusively with dinar with Iran due to the recent sanctions. So do they have enough dinar in circulation to do this? ...Seems to me they do not want to begin reprinting yet more larger 3 zero notes to fill this monetary gap with Iran. So what do they do? [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
11-28-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Iraq will float the dinar allowing market forces to dictate. As investment comes into Iraq, the exchange rate will rise. Balassa-Samuelson effect! I think most of us would be happy if the dinar ever equaled the dollar. It may, but not overnight. I want to remind people that the new Iraqi government with PM Mahdi is not official yet. Until the new Prime Minister completes his cabinet and parliament votes (confirms) them in. I do not expect any significant reforms to move forward until the government is official. I also do not expect the IMF to hold their Article IV Consultation with Iraq until the gov is official...as these reviews usually require gov commitments.
11-28-2018 Intel Guru Bruce We just got word today that tomorrow [Wednesday] morning, Iraq is going to put everything in the Gazette which we have been looking for awhile. ...I would also expect tomorrow Iraq to be saying “We are ready to do business with the world”. We are looking tomorrow for some form of rate to come out because they are ready to do business on their ISX and ESX platforms...We believe...the in-country rate on Iraq dinar will be a really good rate and we should feel comfortable going in to the exchanges for dinar... I think that we are at the point now everything is set and ready to go. I am very positive more than I have ever been...that we are right where we need to be for this to release. Let’s hope that is the case.
11-28-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [In your opinion, why are they adding these 3 digits to the dinar value?] BECAUSE...THE MATHEMATICAL CALCULATIONS FOR THIS FRACTIONAL BANKING/ FRACTIONAL RATE PART...IS WAY DONE AND AGREED UPON...IMO...
11-28-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...The CBI changing their site to the fractional system they are showing us now ( within 2 weeks) suggests they are or just about are ready to go with the conversion. ...Today they talked about Iraq taking her place at that top of the region where she was in the Glory days, imo... Yep, they have massive oil reserves and now they say they may very well be the number 1 in the world. So, while we wait for the cat and camel show seating the legitimate Cabinet we can sleep knowing the process is underway and coming to a rate NEER you...

11-27-2018 Intel Guru Delta ...REPORT FROM CBI ...BUY SELL IQD IN IRAQI MARKET....PATTERN CHANGED... 08-Nov 1204- 1200...LAST WEEK; 27-Nov 1194.446- 1193.953 ...THIS WEEK CBI IS SHOWING 3#S ... IMO...GETTING READY TO GO INTERNATIONAL ...
11-27-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready ...allaq says he is ready to go, and the math has been done a million times over...they could do the RV now, and deal with the rest later…they have had years to get ready... i know it is a new parliament, but they should have arrived ready to do the job at hand…there was an article saying that mahdi was rejecting parliament's attempt to delay...he was going there today.
11-27-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan I am of the view...that they are done with the cabinet, Barzani needed to be a part of the Interior and Defense pick... Clearly they had an agenda to hammer things out. Therefore, my view is that they did what they needed during Barzanis' visit to Baghdad (that btw went very well) prior to him going to Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates...In my view that the session for today or tomorrow was not an ordinary session. It was more like and extraordinary one, as Mahdi had a 24 hour window that was up Saturday, that got postponed and possibly due to the hammering out of the HCL. We know the oil has been increased and there are clearly agreements that happened to get that increase of recent...we literally watch to see if our view is correct or not.
11-27-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty Iraqi Parliament says there will be no vote today on unfilled cabinet positions due to political differences. Vote delayed until next week. Security agencies resist opening Green Zone due to possibility of terrorist attack. New government seen as weak.
11-27-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...I have said over and over again there are multiple steps to this process. The first step deletes the zeros and the second in the reinstatement which should significantly increase the value, the value we all want. At the current 1120 program rate they are worth about $20.75. At a futuristic reinstatement market rate in the USA @ $3.71, 25,000 x $3.71 = $92,750 USD. But this is the second step. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. You may never even see the first step. Get it. So who the hell cares what happens inside Iraq? What you should be most concerned about is when do you get to go to the bank and if the bank will exchange the dinar for you. ...these notes will not expire (as in a lop) and will carry the new reinstatement rate of whatever it comes out to be on FOREX.

11-26-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Article: "To postpone the session of parliament for Tuesday of next week" Tuesday, 4/12/208.
11-26-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Halabousi discussed with the delegation of Baghdad Chamber of Commerce activation of the investment law and the establishment of an economic village" ...Well, we know every 3 letter agency of the world body were in Iraq last month, we have regional entities with the likes of the Secretary General of the Unity Council and components of th Arab league in Cairo about mining interests over the last few days. The above is about accelerating procedures...to help facilitate investors needs...
11-26-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat The CBI has said many times they “fully” intend to keep the citizens informed of the status of the project to delete the zeros. They are doing just that. They seem to give period updates on the project. Just recently we received their latest update which said they are ready to do it and there is nothing more for the CBI to do. They are waiting on the GOI...
11-26-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Sunday Morning...Iraq announced that 360 billion Dinar was stolen from the CBI during Maliki's administration. Easier procedures for an international Visa was shared. Monday's Parliament session should have the votes for the final cabinet members.
11-26-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf ...Iraq is unlikely to redenominate for some time to come. Iraq is facing a problem that no other country looking to redenominate has had to deal with, a huge percentage of the currency being outside the country. It is highly unlikely that Iraq would ever redenominate under current circumstance as the repercussions could be quite significant. I live in the hope that steps will be taken to remove the currency outside Iraq from circulation which would then pave the way to redenomination...
11-26-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty Sources say Iraqi Parliament meeting to select names for unfilled minister positions delayed because of lack of agreement on nominees.

11-25-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "The Association of Iraqi Private Banks holds the course of Islamic Specialist in Governance and Compliance" There is a Customs and Tariffs Deadline by 11/30/2018 between Baghdad and Erbil to be imposed. Barzani has melted the Ice on the tension now. Oil is flowing through Ceyan at a double clip.. So seeing this compliance and risk certification for to satisfy Islamic Investors is finality for being ready to roll when the shift occurs in the internationally accepted IQD and investment related issues. imo.
11-25-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 At Saturday's Parliament meeting, all cabinet-select names were submitted for consideration, including defense and interior ministers. The US has allowed Iraq some "energy only" exemptions regarding the sanctions imposed against Iran. Tougher US sanctions against Iran are being discussed. Parliament announced they will complete cabinet selections on Monday, no report was given on what they accomplished today. In order to be in compliance with the US sanctions against Iran, trading will be done with Dinars only. One US bank source is anticipating exchange activity on Monday (as they have before, so remain calm and cautious). Time Will Tell!
11-25-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan "Parliament raises its meeting to next Monday and allocated for the completion of the ministerial cab" I think they may have seated the Cabinet and will finish up other Items Monday. ...We shall see...imo.
11-25-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [Has there been any progress or any news at all on the HCL lately that you can confirm?] Yes, there has been steady progress regarding everything related to HCL. We couldn't have a complete HCL before the pieces were in place, the GOI ready, etc. Nobody will deny that Iraq has moved in the right direction.

11-24-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ- THE VALUE OF THE IRAQI DINAR INCREASED BY 9%" So for Iraq to compete with foreign products it must float the value of the dinar. This article demonstrates why. We know that they will NOT float the program rate as it is fixed and pegged to the US dollar. So something has to change and change VERY soon since Iraq just announced it is going to trade with Iran using solely dinars. Iran of course does not want dinars, as they feel they are not liquid enough and do not have the global purchasing power.
11-24-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty In Iraq, Baghdad's Green Zone to be open to civilian traffic starting tomorrow. First time Green Zone will have been opened since 2003.
11-24-2018 Newshound MilitiaMan [Do you think Iraq has to wait for the other countries that will be in the basket to RI or RV?] No. I do not.
11-24-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Article: "Texas is about to create OPEC's worst nightmare" [How do you think this may affect the RV?] The article seems to indicate that the US is ramping up oil production, which will lower prices globally. Iraq may need to adjust their Budget, and maybe the potential RV amount will be reflected in that. Let's say they were to RV at $1, but oil is 30% lower than the former anticipated price, then the RV could come in at .70 as well. As far as timing of the RV, I see no concerns.
11-24-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty Iraqi Speaker of Parliament says next Parliament meeting on Monday will vote on unfilled cabinet positions.

11-23-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 [via sunny] ...we learned: Sadr wanting Alak to be fired; Barzani and Mahdi agreed cabinet needed to be completed ASAP; and a dinar source reporting new rates on the screens. . . Dinar reported to have gone from the $4 to $6. Hopefully it will be at least $6.
11-23-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch I believe Delta has this exactly right. Quote: "They’re going to give you a million dinars worth of LOWER DENOMINATIONS because remember what they’re trying to do here is they’re trying to use all this money supply." It takes about two months for Iraq to cycle through the face value of its outstanding currency supply. Akin to inventory turnover, the velocity of money is a nations' gross domestic product divided by its outstanding currency supply. In the case of Iraq, for 2017 that's roughly 234 Trillion divided by about 44 Trillion or 5.3 times per year, or about once every 2 months or so.
11-23-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "CURRENCY STRUCTURE: CENTRAL BANK PREPARES TO DELETE 3 ZEROS OF IRAQI CURRENCY" Okay so here is the beginning of the re-education process I said would begin a months before the reinstatement would happen. Remember the CBI must first wait for the right environment to launch the rest of these lower smaller category notes. Now they are telling us the time is just around the corner. This is exactly what we wanted to hear and needed to hear at this time. So we are moving forward to late 2018 to early 2019 timeframe for a reinstatement. Remember as I said many times we will see a rate change within Iraq as close to 1000 dinars or lower per USD first, then the CBI must launch the smaller notes or the economy will not have any currency they can work with. So now we see the CBI program rate as record lows coming into this week and so we should expect it even much lower and then the launching of first the 25, 50 and 100 dinar notes, as promised would happen at this time. Stay tuned it is all good.
11-23-2018 Intel Guru Footforward It will not be a one to one exchange for us in my opinion. I have very good reason for that opinion. It's my opinion that it will be higher then that.
11-23-2018 Intel Guru Delta ...if you have a million dinar, and you go to the bank they’re not going to give you a 1,000 dinar because that’s a Lop. They’re going to give you a million dinars worth of LOWER DENOMINATIONS because remember what they’re trying to do here is they’re trying to use all this money supply. The only way you can do that is to raise the value starting with their employees because remember they’ll have to go back to 40-50% of the salaries to the government employees and any other employees and then Remember, you’re going to give them a million dinar and get a 1,000 dinar and that’s going to be worth the OLD million dinar which is worth $840 USD. And this is what they basically are trying to do. [post 2 of 2]
11-23-2018 Intel Guru Delta [via MilitiaMan] Article: "Al-Rafidain releases the salaries of local employees through MasterCard" Basically this project is very, very important because the people’s notes – there’s about 6 billion of them worth about 44 Trillion. So what they’re trying to do here is to basically reconstruct the currency. How is Iraq going to do it without them basically lopping the currency. They need to basically increase the value which is to lift the 000’s #1, and ...when they start doing that they’re going to adjust salaries. Now, here’s the catch here… [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

11-22-2018 Intel Guru Delta FROM IRAQI SOCIAL MEDIA .(wink) News of an agreement to raise the value of the Iraqi currency to become equal to the US dollar and cancel the 3 zeros as well...1000 IQD = 1000 USD. HAPPY THANKSGIVING FAMILY...DELTA
11-22-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [Please tell us will this colored paper ever RV?] If I didn't believe it would, I would have sold all mine. That is not the case - I'm sitting tight, with my ...Dinar stash close at hand.
11-22-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat But this higher rate of 120 dinars to the USD is the “market” rate. And so what will the CBI do next. They must maintain the 2% spread between market rate and the program rate. Will they adjust the program rate? This is the rate we really want to see change since the market rate could have massive temporary swings in relation to short-term swings in the currency auctions. So we wait and watch what the CBI does next before we get too excited. [post 2 of 2]
11-22-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...we have rumors coming from Iraq of the dinar rate operating at 120 IQD/USD. Wow! ...This is amazing but before we...get too excited let’s look at what is really happening. ...this is nothing more than the initial shock from the lack of dollars coming out of the currency auctions. We know that when for any reason something effects the sale of dollars in these auctions it drives up the rate for the dinar since the dinar then is used more and thus a higher demand for it. Simple supply and demand ration. Right? [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
11-22-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana The difference between the Lotto Pool and the Dinar...is..."luck". There is no "luck" involved, unless you were just lucky to have heard about it before it happens. At some point, we're all going to look back on this and say "Hot DAMN did we get lucky!" - but it's not really luck. Iraq still has a major portion of what is one of the most valuable commodities on the planet. Iraq has been torn down, beaten, and bruised...and then clawed it's way back to a very respectable place. If you're like me, you might be a little annoyed with the wait. But you also realize that the "wait" isn't unreasonable. It only seems like this has taken a long time because unrealistic expectations... Things happen in their own time, not on our time. The magic for us is when those two line up... and the signs are looking favorable.

11-22-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat But this higher rate of 120 dinars to the USD is the “market” rate. And so what will the CBI do next. They must maintain the 2% spread between market rate and the program rate. Will they adjust the program rate? This is the rate we really want to see change since the market rate could have massive temporary swings in relation to short-term swings in the currency auctions. So we wait and watch what the CBI does next before we get too excited. [post 2 of 2]
11-22-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...we have rumors coming from Iraq of the dinar rate operating at 120 IQD/USD. Wow! ...This is amazing but before we...get too excited let’s look at what is really happening. ...this is nothing more than the initial shock from the lack of dollars coming out of the currency auctions. We know that when for any reason something effects the sale of dollars in these auctions it drives up the rate for the dinar since the dinar then is used more and thus a higher demand for it. Simple supply and demand ration. Right? [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

11-21-2018 Newshound Guru chattels We have fought the good fight, holding on to faith and good conscience, I think. We shall see what fate has in store for us. Hopefully sooner than later. Either way it would be most excellent to make an end to this journey.

11-21-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Everyone should be VERY, VERY excited with the news I have to bring you today. The CBI has finally spoken to us and started the re-education campaign. I have a saying “the campaign is followed by the champaign” lol...lol...lol... This recent re-education is telling the citizens how the redenomination of the dinar will work. These articles today are not the end and there is more to come. Does this education sound familiar? It should as it is just like what they did in 2012? In fact, I am comparing the articles from back then and they are almost identical. So go figure. Or does it have the same sound as in late 2015? Oh – if you recall the CBI came out with almost the exact same articles and at the exact some timeframe prior to their proposed actions. In both past instances it was early to mid November for an EARLY new year reinstatement. We can only pray now that they do more forward all the way this time and do not postpone it again.
11-21-2018 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] ...(10) tranches of (83) zeros each came from China and went globally around the world to various central banks so they can be distributed money into various banks for use for our exchanges.

Understand this is the rate available for them on their cards, and the rate comes out at $6.78 in-country... Those cards were used and are being used now in Iraq today... Our rate on the front screens in the banks when we go in for exchanges and redemptions should be higher than that. I have been given an approximate range, but I do not want to go there. Trust me it will be higher than the rate in-country for Iraq. ... we do believe this will be a Thanksgiving weekend to remember.

11-20-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "AGREEMENT TO RESUME THE EXPORT OF KIRKUK OIL BETWEEN THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT AND THE KURDISTAN REGION" Okay so let’s now look at HCL. We know the legislation is passed in parliament and the % is stated of “excess oil revenues”. The first payment was supposed to happen in early September but did not due to the new administration. It was postponed again until EARLY 2019. Sleh told us in an article that it would coincide with the release of some money from the billions in the Iraqi sovereign fund.

11-19-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Well the HCL of course...not to mention the citizens getting paid and possibly on International Master Cards, but, the money from all sales through the country will need a safe and secure way to settle payments.. Not just from the retail side of things but for very large payments by Oil Sales, and that the IBAN account will apparently be used in that process of clearing payments. ...

To me this means the intent if to be sold to Iraqi investors inside Iraq. It says absolutely NOTHING about selling these bonds on the international securities markets. ...So if you want to buy any of these bonds ou will have to go Iraq and trade within the Iraqi Securities Exchange. The exchange is NOT yet international...It is not all about the RV or a sign the RV is about to happen. We know from the past they sold bonds before and did we get an RV? NO! The significance of it is that they are now trading them directly on their own in-country securities market. Is this good news for us? Yes, yes, and yes, but is only one step closer to what we want. What we need is for their securities exchange market to go international. Then I would agree that this is BIG news. But not quite yet.
11-19-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Randy Koonce I have been blessed with sources in several of the the well known 3 letter agencies. It seems that at least for now, all of my sources are once again saying the same thing. Our window is ‘wide open’ beginning right now though the end of November. Even if we don’t see it by then, that does not mean the window closes, but will simply remain open longer than we were told, and through the end of the year. Because of the sanctions on Iran, there is additional pressure for this to happen as soon as possible. It also seems that the plan is to reinstate the currency between $1- $2...then by the end of the year, to have it ‘established’ at the rate they plan to hold it at for some time. When we see a rate change, you will want to weigh you options and how you want to proceed based these suggested possibilities. ...we are in the final stages of this... I know this administration wants this to be over and now... so we are close...closer than we have ever been in a very long time. So, hang in there...It’s coming, one way or the other!! Breathe.

11-18-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni There is over 42 trillion dinar outside the CBI. And there has been no reduction so far. If the dinar is going to appreciate in value the money supply must be reduced. The only way it could happen would be gradually...thus a float is the only real option. 42 Trillion dinar is a substantial amount...the U.S. only has about 1.2 trillion circulating around the world. No way could Iraq support a money supply 40 times the U.S. If a float is the solution, the dinar can rise gradually over time, as money comes into the Iraqi banks it can be collected and destroyed thus reducing the money supply from Trillions to Billions.

11-17-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Breaking News...it appears that new PM Mahdi has sacked the CBI Gov Ali al-Allaq. If true and Ali al-Allaq has been removed history of this position has proven that it causes a delay and monetary policy which is not good news for all of us waiting for Iraq to engage their banking system with the world financial system. It also could have an impact on compliance with the IMF. When previous Central Bank Governors were removed the spread went significantly outside the 2% requirement. Unless Mahdi plans to bring back Shabibi (doubtful) there will be a period of instability in Iraq thus possibly causing the dinar to fall out of compliance. Setback for sure. This is the second time we have been close to the beginning of currency reform. Could end up being a sad day delaying months if not longer. PM Mahdi is pro reform and is clearly aware of the urgency to rebuild, create jobs and invite investment so I remain hopeful for now.
11-17-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [via Sunkissed] THEIR BONDS...FROM THEIR NATION ARE GOING TO BE SOLD INTERNATIONALLY! They were made in 2017 and they did not sell them. They held them in 2017 until RIGHT NOW...They are going to sell them through the Iraqi Stock Exchange. NOW. ...Why now? Because the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar was not ready last year, when they printed them. They stopped. And they are NOW going to sell them on the 18th of November 2018.

11-16-2018 Newshound Guru ChrisC Article: "The central bank reveals the amount of cash and gold reserves currently in Iraq" Quotes: "there is no intention at the present time to issue any new category and existing categories that cover the need of local Iraq."; "Iraq has plans and strategies that it is working on periodically to make adjustments to the currency and pull the damaged from public markets and replace it with a new one," Remember what [Guru] Walkingstick's firm got them to clearly admit. This is beginning to feel like Kuwait. Wasn't it them that said they couldn't RV for a year and did it the next day?
11-16-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni In order for Iraq to engage its banking system with the world's financial system It's a combination of government effort and financial stability/compliance. And again as we stated several months ago a new government would need to be formed, stability and security would have to be proven as well as any other legal or laws necessary to perpetuate the investment process. That being said there is a sense of urgency in Iraq to move Iraq forward now rather than later because Iraq needs money to rebuild and private investment is that solution. ...bringing an influx of capital into a country will create substantial inflationary pressure through the CBI capital account...this has to be accounted for and that's why the CBI must move off of the peg to a float prior to such action. [post 3 of 3]
11-16-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...in order for the dinar to go up in value several other things must occur the Central Bank of Iraq for one has to rebuild the banking sector. ...the central bank has to meet the conditions set forth by the IMF. And...they must be in compliance in order to move from Article XIV to Article VIII. This compliance has not been achieved since 2012. And this compliance started again in March of 2018. Back then I told everyone that there would be a minimum of a 90-day window and which the CBI needed to hold such compliance ...it's in writing and factual. Since then the CBI has done an excellent job maintaining the 2% compliance requirement to move to Article VIII under difficult circumstances within the country, this doesn't mean they will move today or tomorrow because other factors still exist which could still hold this up.

11-16-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The latest...annual Article IV Consultation...done last September clearly states..."The authorities have appropriately maintained the exchange rate peg." This was done to help accomplish exchange rate stability in Iraq thus allowing the CBI to get in compliance. ...telling people the dinar is already on a managed float...is outright false and not what is going on regarding monetary policy at this time. The CBI is working hard to meet compliance so that they can move forward and engage their banking system with the world. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]

The corruption, the stalling, the bickering/infighting, the incompetence...it is getting really difficult to see them ever getting past it.] Yes it can be frustrating. Keep in mind the IMF, World Bank and others are pushing this reform forward.
11-15-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "ALMOST DAILY REPORTS OF THE ARREST OR ELIMINATION OF THE MILITANT GROUP’S TERRORISTS, THEIR LEADERS, SLEEPER CELLS AND HIDEOUTS" ...the SECURITY situation in Iraq is stable but they are still having problems with the ISIS group infiltrating back into Iraq from Syria. But we know we have heard many articles about how SECURE and STABLE Iraq now is so these issues should not be a prohibiting factor in the reinstatement of the dinar.
11-15-2018 Guest Guru Sam I Am ...I didn't sell my dinar because it didn't happen on my time line. I sold because my research led me to the conclusions I'm sharing with you. If I believed it would happen I would hang on for another ten years or more. My research involves economics, IMF docs, history, law etc. Yes they're going to float the dinar in the future just like they're floating it now, via a managed float. ...those articles Kap [Guru Kapaeroni] quotes say that a more flexible policy will lead to an increase. But they mean an increase in the exchange rate not an increase in value. The CBI can adjust the rate any time they deem necessary. Trust me, a year or two from now you'll still be wondering what the hold up is. [post 3 of 3]
11-15-2018 Guest Guru Sam I Am so our main point of disagreement seems to be the feasibility of the IQD floating freely. I maintain that de-pegging would destroy iraq. Kap [Guru Kaperoni] has been saying that [the dinar would float?] since 2012 but he doesn't understand that all of those articles are talking about the managed float that Iraq is currently using...they maintain the peg by manipulating the money supply. [correct and the auctions] yes. so it's already floating ... just not "free floating" like the dollar or the euro. The IMF has already stated that the IQD is rightly valued where it is...bottom line is they back their currency with their foreign currency reserves which is about $50 billion. Divide that by their M1 money supply of 70 trillion and you have a currency that is rightly valued at less than 1/10 of a penny. The low level and the relative stability of inflation do not suggest any significant over- or undervaluation of the Iraqi dinar...the "program rate" isn't an artificially imposed rate but simply the rate used by the IMF for monitoring purposes...

11-15-2018 Guest Guru Sam I Am [Do you think we will ever make any money from the Dinar?] Nobody will get rich from owning dinar. It's possible to make a profit if the CBI decides to raise the value like they did from Nov. 2006 to Jan. 2009... about 25%...but it's very unlikely that they will. But even if that happens the profits won't justify the risk IMO. ...the problem is that most dinar investors have no experience with currency speculation (including me when I got in) and they don't understand how what a revaluation is...By the way, I owned over 8 million...so I've been on both sides...the average dinarian only owns a million or two...so my point is that I owned a lot more than the average guy... the IQD is pegged so it only goes up in value if the CBI decides that it will...they can't de-peg until their economy is diversified to the point that most of their revenues are non-petroleum based...

11-14-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni There is no RV or RI...if the dinar appreciates in value it will not happen overnight. That being said, monetary policy will need to change to accommodate investment and that means they will need to float the dinar. Floating the dinar allows the CBI to gradually raise the value to counter inflationary pressure created by an influx of investment. A float can start anytime, but i do not see it rising to equal a dollar for several months if not longer.
11-14-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We know that the new asset backed currency rate calculation system introduced in 2012-2013 is generating periodic rates for many of these underdeveloped countries. These rates are pushed down to the banks through this system. Yes, these are real rates but they are not yet implemented. So why does the Iranian Rial all of a sudden show up again with a rate of about $3.90. WOW! This is remember all calculated based on assets and bumped around with neighboring middle eastern countries. This does NOT mean these rate are eminent or will show up LIVE today or tomorrow.

I have always said these Iraqi currency auctions are now just funneling more money to the terrorist in USD and were set up initially to do just the opposite. So why even continue them then?

11-13-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Article quote: "Governor of the Central Bank of Parliament: We kept the dinar exchange rate against the dollar..." ...there seems to be obvious intentionality at work here. Some would argue that a range of value is being maintained. The 2% variance that Kap [Guru Kaperoni] talks about. Not refering to the 1190, but the market rate. [Side Note: the CBI has maintained the IMF required 2% balance between the Official dinar rate and CBI reported Market rate since ~ March 15, 2018 - You can always see daily CBI dinar rates in the sidebar on the left of this page...]
11-13-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...no one said the change would happen in mid Dec. I only said the re-education to the citizens has to begin before the reinstatement and in time to educate them, enough to do the event. I was told it would begin in late Nov. ...The reinstatement will happen and it is coming.
11-13-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready One big thing yesterday. Allaq presented to parliament the advantages of the MR, of which the RV is a major part. Apparently the talk was very well received. Many have speculated that the release date has been determined, and everything we are seeing is just delay until they push the button.
11-13-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Article quote: "...the Prime Minister Adil Abd al-Mahdi will present the rest of his booth including ministerial candidates for Defense and Interior on the 24th November." Most recently it was to be this Thursday, the 15th. Now it is the 24th?
11-13-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "MAINTAIN THE EXCHANGE RATE OF THE DINAR AGAINST OTHER CURRENCIES" Quote: "...the central bank balanced between the financial options and managed despite the pressure and impossible goals to maintain the exchange rate of the dinar against other currencies, including the dollar..." ...again the CBI is announcing the ability to keep the exchange rate of the dinar stable...

11-12-2018 Newshound Guru ChrisC ...I believe the vast majority of Iraqi's are good people, and those that are corrupt in power have now been neutered. Corralling all the corruption has certainly taken longer than anyone probably expected, but I do believe we have a pretty firm handle on that now and finally finish the process. I believe they have had a target date in mind for a while now, but we simply have not arrived at that date just yet. Let's see what these next few days/weeks bring us and what they choose to reveal publicly as this year begins to wind down. I think we will all be very happy before too much longer, IMO.

11-12-2018 Newshound Guru ChrisC I have formulated something from one of my favorite literary characters, Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock says “How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?” ISIS is no longer a problem, there is safety and security, enough that an oil rig operator I know that said he would never go back is going back, a fully formed government (or just about), they have sanctions off of them and assets returned and the full support of the whole World.

11-12-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...The IQD is not on a managed float but a peg to the dollar...As for a float in the future, the IMF is very clear on this directive as Iraq needs to exit the peg prior to opening their capital account to foreign investment. This is all in the Article IV Consultations... [...if Iraq floated their currency they would go bankrupt.] ...the CBI controls the currency and the amount of currency in circulation just like any other country. Some 200 countries float their currency are they bankrupt? Every single one of us should hope and pray the CBI gives up the peg chooses a new exchange rate regime that is a float and allows the dinar to gradually rise over time as the IMF stated allowing them to reduce the money supply.
11-12-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "WHY ARE IRAQ'S KIRKUK OILFIELDS SO IMPORTANT?" Quote: "Iraq’s oilfields in the disputed Kirkuk region have taken on new significance after the United States restored oil sanctions against neighboring Iran. Washington is pressuring Baghdad to resume exports that stopped last year." This is a great insight into Article 140 and the necessity to pass a referendum on it and implement it into law.
11-12-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...Pretty sure this all comes out the day before Alak is to be in Parliament.. The day before the UN has a topic on IRaq as well... Did we not recently hear Pompeo and Mnuchin speak in finance and economic circumstance done in IRaq, then Trump and Macron Support the new Mahdi GOI? Yep, Oh and yes the Paris Club... ...Kind interesting that Parliament has the 2019 budget on deck and we learned the payments start for the Paris agreement in 2019... All key items timed so ever accordingly...it should give a calming effect for those that thought this was simply flip the switch already...It is and has been a very complex undertaking that was like and ebb and flow tide. Always moving toward a common ground...I suspect if one is following along, this is starting to show a pattern of motion in more of a one direction specifically, and that is internationalism. imo. [post 2 of 2]
11-12-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan They are telling us they are literally coming on stage internationally. Today they are actively spelling out internationalism based on statements... Quote: "The governor of the Central Bank of Iraq Ali al-Alaq, Sunday 11 November 2018, that the actions taken by the bank was sufficient to move Iraq to the normal follow-up area." That to me means they are just like every well organized bank that is involved in doing international trade. Equal footing if you will. Level playing field!! . Quote: "This new indicator will enable all international financial institutions to open their doors and their relationship with our banking institutions in Iraq..." [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
11-12-2018 Intel Guru Delta CBI DID NOT REPORT AUCTION FOR TODAY [SUNDAY]!!! [...does that mean the process of canceling auction coming to an end.] WE SHOULD FIND OUT IN THE NEXT 24- 48 HRS...
11-12-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty Iraqi Parliament's schedule for tomorrow does not include voting on unfilled ministerial positions. Iraqi MP says nominees for unfilled minister positions have been decided except for Defense & Interior Ministers. PM wants to avoid announcing names to avoid political attacks. Defense Minister semi-decided but no progress on Interior Minister.

11-11-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Electronic cards (possibly considered a national card) were distributed to the citizens of Iraq but no new rates were revealed. Their government is attempting to increase the allocated amounts. Iraqi TV is reporting that the remaining cabinet members will be voted and confirmed on Monday's Parliament session.
11-11-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "THE SCANDAL OF THE CENTRAL BANK, WHICH IS PREOCCUPIED WITH THE NAME OF ITS CURRENCY" I really like this article...It is telling the CBI that they put the effort in the wrong direction for currency reform. Instead the effort should be in the value and deleting the zeros. So this is more pressure from more sources to get this project done...
11-11-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan We have recent data that supports they have now over $60 billion in reserves along with about 96.5 tonnes of gold, they have taxes and tariffs that match their 4.6 million barrel out put a day at or over $69.00 a barrel which is far the $56 in the budget for 2019, if I read that correct. So I see support for them coming back to the glory days.. imo.
11-11-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Articles are indicating that (once again) HCL agreements have been reached regarding payments to the citizens. [Some are claiming that THIS was the holdup...Time Will Tell]. Iraq TV broadcast a speech by PM Madhi at the Baghdad International Fair indicating his main goal is to return the economy to a favored state with more concentration on the private sector. 17+ countries and over 700 companies are in attendance. The Kurds have reached an agreement on the oil fields in Kirkuk, finalization is expected by the end of November.
11-11-2018 Intel Guru Delta Article: "Qatar offers to use its banks to circumvent sanctions against Iran" HUGE PART!!! Quote: "Even with this exception, Washington has obliged Baghdad to open an account in Iraqi dinars to pay for Iranian imports, a new restriction on remittances between Iraq and Iran". THEY CAN'T DO REMITTANCE BETWEEN IQD AND IRR AND WASHINGTON KNOW THAT. THEY NEED ARTICLE 8 FOR THIS ACTION AND THEY CAN'T MOVE TO ARTICLE 8 WITHOUT LIFTING ZEROS...

11-10-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru Poppy3 IF THE FIGURES ARE CORRECT ON THE KUWAIT DINAR BANK EXCHANGE FOR IRAQ AT $4000.00 DINAR = TO $14,000.00 THAT COMPUTES TO APPROXIMATELY $2.89. I KNOW THAT DOESN'T AT THIS TIME EFFECT US BUT THAT RATE IS CONSISTENT TO MOST PROJECTION OF THE THREE DOLLAR RAGE EXPECTED. I AM ENCOURAGED GREATLY ON WHAT IS HAPPENING.
11-10-2018 Intel Guru ADMINBILL I WOULD SAY THAT WE MAY ACTUALLY NEARING AN END TO THE PROCESS...I DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC TIME FRAME BUT THE FEELING THAT WE ARE MARCHING TO THE DAY WHEN YOUR FINANCIAL SECURITY WILL BE IN THE BANK. SO HANG IN FOR HOWEVER MUCH LONGER THE WAIT IS.
11-10-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty US gives Iraq an exemption to Iranian sanctions for 45 days to allow it to import Iranian gas & electricity. Iraq must develop a plan to ween itself from Iranian imports.
11-10-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG 3) It gives us an idea as to who is was charge…the CoM – or Council of Ministers. Who do they answer to?? Maliki, at that point. Period. Historically – he had been a “weak Dinar” policy advocate. Are they likely to now push this forward? Make note, Mahdi is an actual economist and was one of the Vice Presidents of Iraq from 2005 to 2011. He formerly served as the Finance Minister in the Interim government and Oil Minister from 2014 to 2016 (Wikipedia sourced). There has been a flurry of references to this same aforementioned “project” recently in various news articles. 4) Though no guarantee of a future plan they wind up engaging – this report pointed out an increase in value that would have taken the Dinar from “one-tenth of a cent” to a value “of slightly less than $1″… [post 3 of 3]
11-10-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG I have often pointed out this is a highly speculative investment. We are, in no way, guaranteed anything. However, this SIGIR report gives us some VERY valuable insights…1) This was information given to the US CONGRESS on a quarterly basis… I find it hard to believe such an information source would intentionally mislead Congress. They tend to frown on such behavior. This goes directly to the validity of this venture – against all advice from Wells Fargo or other such naysayers. 2) It points out there had been a legitimate “plan” – or time frame in motion… having been projected to be done in 2013. What the current time frame is now, or what the current plan is – hard to say. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
11-10-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG Flashback – The Iraqi Dinar is the official currency of a COUNTRY. For any bank, banker, lawmaker, adviser or official (of any kind) to make the statement “the Dinar is a scam” is JUST... foolish...The Iraqi Dinar is the official currency of a COUNTRY. Numerous times I have pointed to SIGIR Report as guidance. THIS REPORT WAS SENT TO CONGRESS IN MAY of 2012. IT PLAINLY SHOWS IN THIS REPORT THEY EXPECTED THE DINAR TO BE VALUED AT AROUND A DOLLAR IN 2013...For ANY member of our Government to say they have no idea what is going on here – means they simply haven’t read some very basic documents presented them. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]
11-10-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I also told you this is multi-facet and there are many parts to it. This is VERY big and complex. So, the CBI needs to get to the reinstatement part and get to a point AGAIN when they can request permission to reinstate. But this is not the final end. Once the permission is given, the CBI then can begin the launch the smaller, smaller category notes (5,10,25,etc) and work their way up to the .83 cents (approx). But as I told you they get the permission and then it is pulled away once they move ahead again. This is an obstacle but remember they also have to proceed with the process first and it is not as simple as getting permission and then the RV appears. There is a process in between. Be patient! [post 2 of 2]
11-10-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ... I have been telling you in my “project to delete the zeros” and how it will first get revalued in-country within Iraq (not yet on the currency exchanges). Then up to 2-4 weeks later, once it is stable in Iraq and no hyper-inflation situations arise (checked for inflation), the CBI then intends to unleash the dinar on the international markets, thus requesting the reinstatement. So far they get to a certain point and the project keeps getting put on hold or stalled. So recently we heard that there was the largest busting up of a counterfeit ring within Iraq...we know they need to break up these rings of counterfeiters prior to the RV. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

11-9-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Large volume of currency sold at auction...The Central Bank is selling $ 225 million in the currency auction today [Thursday] | 07/11/2018...Typically ( of late ) large volume sales are an effort by the CBI to maintain stability in the rate / value of the dinar against the dollar.
11-9-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Documents .. Signatures to distribute the amount of each barrel of oil to the Iraqis" I am not sure how many signatures they'll need, but, the fact that they are collecting them makes me happy as all get out. They get this done, and for all citizens get a slice of every barrel of oil on their cards... Who wouldn't sign it after all these years? Lets not forget the possible motive to put pressure next door, as we watch the unrest. Like we have talked about of recent, the IQD brings purchase power the neighbors are going to be jealous.. imo.
11-9-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Arthur ...when the HCL is fully implemented in Iraq, an Iraqi citizen must be able to swipe their Qi card and receive monthly oil benefits anywhere in the world in the currency of whatever country they happen to be in. That will require an internationally recognized, revalued currency just as Kuwait has. Once fully implemented, then and only then will we see any significant increase in value in the IQD. [post 2 of 2]
11-9-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Arthur There is finally something to talk about. Yesterday Fifty deputies signed for the deduction of the amount of each barrel of oil and distribution to each individual Iraqi. This is the long awaited HCL. This event is not just about international Dinarians getting a tremendous return on their investment. It is more about Iraqi citizens being paid from the enormous oil wealth of Iraq. ...oil rich neighbor Kuwait provides their citizens a monthly food supply... If the government can not find a job for a citizen that citizen gets 200 KD ($650) per month until they are employed. If a citizen works in the private sector...they earn 900 KD per month in addition to the salary their employer provides (that’s almost $3,000 USD per month on TOP of their regular salary!). All Children get $200/mo till their 26 years old. The minimum pension is 1000 KWD ($3,000). Healthcare and education are free... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
11-9-2018 Intel Guru Bruce ...I know Iraq is looking for some type of approval from the IMF for something regarding Chapter 8. ...My understanding is Chapter 8 is a United Nations thing that takes you from Chapter 7 which they completed to Chapter 8, and I believe is IMF is just acknowledging Chapter 8 from the UN that should take place tomorrow [Friday]. ...I know certain Iraqis that we talk to...that are part of our extended team are indicating that they are excited and they are looking forward to things popping here. ...Realistically they could pull the trigger anytime...it appears we are in a window that should take us into completion by the weekend whether that is tomorrow [Friday], Saturday, or Sunday. We should be there in that time frame. ...I am telling you right now the banks have everything they need in place with rates up to go...

11-9-2018 Intel Guru Bruce ...I know Iraq is looking for some type of approval from the IMF for something regarding Chapter 8. ...My understanding is Chapter 8 is a United Nations thing that takes you from Chapter 7 which they completed to Chapter 8, and I believe is IMF is just acknowledging Chapter 8 from the UN that should take place tomorrow [Friday]. ...I know certain Iraqis that we talk to...that are part of our extended team are indicating that they are excited and they are looking forward to things popping here. ...Realistically they could pull the trigger anytime...it appears we are in a window that should take us into completion by the weekend whether that is tomorrow [Friday], Saturday, or Sunday. We should be there in that time frame. ...I am telling you right now the banks have everything they need in place with rates up to go...
11-8-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf ...This supposedly international event has only ever been under the US microscope. The Iraqi dinar was not the only speculative investment I got involved with all these years ago and the informational waveform would indicate a connection to a singular event. Earlier this year other entities indicated that there could be some sort of conclusion towards the tail end of this year. We are now weeks away and as yet there has been no backtracking, on previous occasions backtracking came months before the anticipated timeframe...
11-8-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Article: "The House of Representatives raises its meeting to the next Saturday at one o'clock" Parliament met today and adjourned until Saturday.
11-8-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article quote: "The United States has told Iraq it will continue to import vital supplies of gas, energy and food from Iran after Washington reinstates sanctions on Iran’s oil sector, three Iraqi officials said. Exemption from Iraq IS CONTINGENT ON IRAN NOT PAYING THE PRICE OF IMPORTS IN US DOLLARS..." Okay so then how will Iraq pay for the imports? According to the currency auctions this is supposed to be used for this purpose to convert dinars to US dollars and then pay them in dollars. Will they use instead Euros or another currency? Will they use dinars? So we should see the currency auctions going way down after these sanctions kick in. Let’s not do a knee jerk reaction when we see it and claims it’s the RV since now we know what is causing it.
11-8-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...the dinar is already legal tender throughout the world. Once IMF Article VIII happens it will make banking and acceptance more available. There is no reinstatement the dinar value is what it is and currently 1190 to $1. If the dinar rises it will occur gradually via a new exchange rate regime which will be a float..not some overnight event. [You can always see the current CBI OFFICIAL dinar rate and MARKET rate in the left column of this page.]
11-8-2018 Newshound Guru chattels The Constitution of Iraq does not require three deputies to the President or VP's. There must be at least one and there may be more, but constitutionally speaking no change is necessary. Article 66, Second, states as follows : " A law shall regulate the nomination of one deputy or more for the President of the Republic." Abadi tried to do away with all VP's and failed. Historically there have been three, one each from Shia, Sunni and Kurdish factions.
11-8-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling As far as the dinar goes, it looks so phenomenal, it truly does. We are in a very very good spot. And now we have an entire country pushing it…Let me throw this out there just as a scenario…Let’s say Iran is not attached to the Iraqi dinar at all. Then it’s strictly oil prices. But Iran is attached to Iraq. So what if they force a revaluation or decide to have a revaluation before the price per barrel goes down? That could happen…that’s why we live in a different world. That could happen with the relationship they have with Iran. It would stabilize Iraq and Iran in that region if they added value to it. It would counter the sanctions…the language I’m hearing out of Iraq is that’s what’s coming down the road. That’s what they’re negotiating. Now Iraq hasn’t bought into it yet but that’s what’s going on out there.

11-7-2018 **** Dinar Guru News Update ***** After a month of no updates...the CBI reported the MARKET rate of the dinar today as 1204. The update included the MARKET rate for every business day between October 8th and November 7th which traded between 1203 to 1208 over this timespan. These rates are well within the 2% IMF requirement between the OFFICIAL rate and the MARKET rate some gurus feel must be maintained for Article 8 compliance. Stay tuned as more information comes in from the Central Bank of Iraq. The latest guru posts will continue below...
11-7-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [Do you believe that the re-institution of Iran's sanctions, which limits where and to whom Iran can sell its oil, will result in an uptick in the price of oil? If this occurs, could this be a reason for the Iraq to consider RVing in the near term to take advantage of the higher price of oil?] That is certainly an angle I keep an eye on just to monitor my oil related investments, but I do not see it as a direct "hot button" that will prompt Iraq to RV. It will certainly have an impact on their bottom line, but it is not the "deciding factor".

11-7-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "PROJECT TO BE DISCUSSED BY THE PARLIAMENT, REDUCING THE NUMBER OF VICE PRESIDENTS FROM THREE TO ONE" This article is one that I consider a WOW article. ...First we find out why Maliki has not yet been prosecuted for the fall of Mosul. Then we can see the political maneuvering by Maliki to save his own skin. Simply put – he wants the immunity and he needs the VP position. Secondly we see how they have not yet announced the three new VPs and want to change the constitution to have only one (1). But this will be very difficult to do since what tribe will the VP belong to? Right now its a balance between the three tribes as each Sunni, Sheite and Kurd is represented. We are told that they would be announced at the same time as the rest of the ministers. The count for the ministers is now up to 6 from 4 last week that are not yet ratified. There are a total of 8 still to be announced and voted on.
11-7-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ..."Mahdi is cleaning house". YEP! The wheels are turning. The transition is rolling along, and that's the best news we can ask for. Keep it moving, Mahdi!

Things are proceeding smoothly...we DO have is solid progress...Stay patient, friends.
11-7-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling What did Iraq say they were going to do? They even told everybody how they were going to do it and the time period they are going to take to get the currency you and I have off the market and introduce the new currency that represent the higher rate that can interact with the rest of the world. There is a transition period in the middle of that. Nothing more. It’s not complicated. Everybody makes things more complicated than they really are. Everything is simple…always start with the intent of what the CBI wants to do. They want to add value to their currency…That’s it.

11-6-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling Where do I get my information from? It comes from an authority…I’m getting my math, my information from the authority…from the people who say they’re going to revalue. The people who are in control of the country’s currency in Iraq. That’s it. If it doesn’t happen, it’s because of something they did. If it happens…it’s something they did. But I’m speculating on it because of something they said. And I believe they can do it. And I believe they’re going to do it. That’s it. My opinion is based on that information and that information only…my option is yeah, it’s worth speculating on. I believe that.
11-6-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "APPEARANCE OF MOHAMMED SALEH: IRAQ AND THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION" ...this is a very long article and so let me try to sum it up for you: Mohammed Saleh, the deputy financial advisor to the GOI, is assessing the opportunity cost of joining the WTO. Does Iraq really care about joining? He concludes that YES Iraq does want to join. ...The long path to WTO ascension is the ability to go along with the BIG guys and play their game since the markets are dominated by so few who control the entire international market; the long-term survival of Iraq depends on international trade, secure international investment and a commercial environment; one of the major obstacles is the INABILITY of a “strong payment program”. How they transfer funds (SWIFT system) and use of currency (currency reform).
11-6-2018 Newshound Guru David M. Witty Iraqi sources say PM Abdel-Mahdi will attempt to present 5 ministers to Parliament today & hopes to get vote of approval. Still no word on Defense Minister. Iraqi government asks Parliament not to return the 2019 national budget for revision.
11-6-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling …Everything has changed for you and me as far as Iraq goes. Everything. Because as of today Iran is officially broke…they need money and if Iraq is blocking them from getting U.S. dollars…out of the Iraq economy then you’re going to see pressures from Iran because Iran has Iraqi dinar. That countdown is official today. Don’t get your underwear all bunched up in a wad…It’s not going to revalue tomorrow…I shouldn’t say that because nobody knows if it’s going to revalue…
11-6-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [via Clare] Highlights: Iraq Social Media Hot right now... Reassuring Citizens, still going to lift the 3 zeros.

RI is fact occurring @ 1-1. Reduction will help with RV next year, the same way the ME Basket solidly formed will help the RV in 2019...it's a precursor... they are telling Iraq, go ahead join the international community.

11-6-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Again I am telling everyone to STOP...watching for the completion of a single event then the RV will happen. How many events in the past do they attempt to peg the RV to that didn’t happen or happened and still we sit...It is now early November and so do NOT expect any reinstatement until at least EARLY 2019 (more likely in early January sometime)...

11-5-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan We are told that the AMF working with the likes of the World Bank, IMF, Germany, etc., have accomplished meetings and within those meetings we learned from WS [Guru Walkingstick] that they tried and tested the REER to a basket of currencies last Monday, about a week has passed since then... The article is telling us they have accomplished things and that they tell us that they were comprehensive in nature. Well, financial inclusion, is very important to those entities. Modernization is important to them and the Private Banks they are going to be doing business with in the reconstruction of Iraq. They will require Insurance Companies... Launch means to take off...

11-5-2018 Newshound Guru Kirk H. Sowell So we are now ten days into the new #Iraq govt of Adil Abd al-Mahdi, and it isn't going well so far. It looks like AAM will face two reverses in his first two weeks. The first is having to turn back on the 2019 budget...Abd al-Mahdi's other problem is that his effort to complete his cabinet isn't going well. Not only is there doubt about passing the remainder of nominations as scheduled tomorrow, but there are efforts to impeach up to four of the new 14 ministers.
11-5-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 The CBI site was down for awhile today, but it's back to normal now. Apparently, today's leaders meeting in Baghdad garnered two more names to be considered for Madhi's cabinet on Tuesday's voting session. With six names now reported, only two remain to have the government fully seated even though the general thought that it is not necessary for a currency revalue. Time Will Tell!
11-5-2018 Newshound Guru Daytrader IMO, the oversight management of the economic reform process is the responsibility of the government. This suggests the success of the GOI economic reform process is dependent on the CBI reinstating the IQD to an international status at a legitimate rate, but the success of the monetary reform process is dependent on the success (read currency demand) of the economic reform. Would hope the CBI is now at this stage in the monetary reform process, as they hold the trigger mechanism in their hands for Iraq’s economic reform. IMO. [post 2 of 2]
11-5-2018 Newshound Guru Daytrader JMO, there are two reforms taking place in Iraq that are co-dependent; monetary reform and economic reform. The economic reform provides jobs on several levels...People with jobs earn money, then spend money in many areas; food, shelter, clothing and the list goes on. Those purchases will require businesses to replenish their stock, which drives the need for more product manufacturing, more raw material needs and more agriculture development. This circular process drives the flow of money in any economy. ...This process is critical for the CBI’s success as demand for a currency determines the effectiveness of a monetary reform program. However IMO, the CBI must reach a point in the monetary reform process where the value of its currency will attract direct foreign investment (DFI) as the trigger for economic reform.

11-4-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraq has requested permission to ignore some of the US imposed sanctions against Iran in order to continue their import trade relations. US dollars will not be involved in the transactions, only Iraqi Dinars. PM Madhi only has four candidates for Tuesday's Parliament session. He has postponed selecting the other four to complete a seated cabinet. Leaders in Baghdad are holding a meeting today (Sunday) demanding that PM Mahdi announce all eight of his cabinet selectees. Kurdistan regional Parliament will hold it's first official meeting on Tuesday.

11-4-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan So since the currency has been a main topic for about 30 days or more now, it would suggest that since the timing of REER (Real Effective Exchange Rate) is an issue, the final roll out on the new small currency would be expected to be along quite shortly.. imo.

11-4-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Iran braces for oil sanctions after currency crash, protests" ...think about what you're seeing between Iraq and Iran...Where I may disagree with Iran being specifically included now or into the future basket of middle east currencies matters not, the basket ...has been calculated now per WS [Guru Walkingstick] (evidence from recent meetings, imo) and that means to me they have risk on the table and thus, a timeline... to expose that calculation to the world is on the table now. We all know things can get volatile in the ME on a drop of a dinarius. Therefore, those part of the boat load of entities in Iraq last month were there for significant time frames...They were there for the valuation of currency and advance training of the trainers for the Iraq Currency imo, just as there was a preceding symposium weeks before in regard to the Iraq currency.

11-4-2018 Intel Guru Delta Article: "Exceeded one billion dollars .. Tehran demands Baghdad to accelerate the payment of electricity debts" HUGE ARTICLE ...IRAQ CAN'T PAY IRAN IN DOLLARS ANY MORE....

11-4-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 SOMETIME AROUND SUNDAY OR INTO NEXT WEEK THE CBI HAS TO MAKE A MOVE WITH THE AUCTIONS BECAUSE IMO...ON SUNDAY THE SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN START.

11-3-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Article quote: "The exchange rate of the dollar, Saturday, maintained its stability against the dinar on the Iraqi stock exchange. According to figures received by "Economy News", the price of selling the dollar in the stock market today is 120 thousand dinars and the purchase price 121 thousand dinars to 100 dollars. On the Basra Stock Exchange, the sale price today reached 120 thousand dinars, and the purchase price 121 thousand dinars to 100 dollars. While the sale price of the dollar on the Arbil Stock Exchange today 120 thousand dinars, and the purchase price 121 thousand dinars to 100 dollars."
11-3-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat The new Iranian sanctions that are due to kick-in in a few days and this may be our saving grace. These sanctions may force the issue of preventing USD currency through the currency auction sales from going to Iran. This may override any other (fake) “security” concerns and so may finally allow the cancellation of the auctions and the use of the dinar in trade. If this happens, they must pull the trigger and go international (at least this is my take) as they will have no choice.
11-3-2018 Guest Guru Sunkissed [Donald Trump seems confident...in the possibility of repaying the public debt that has exceeded the $ 20 trillion mark in a short time...] It has been rumored that the UST holds approximately 7 Trillion IQD. If the dinar came out the gate near 3:1 the exchange could pay off the US National debt...or even if they waited for the RV for sure! In my opinion, of course. Also, it has been said that the Paris Club forgave $100 Billion in debt to Iraq. The USA could (potentially) forgive the Iraq debt and still exchange the IQD we potentially hold, and pay off the National debt. in my opinion also...

11-2-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...I want to say it is impossible to revalue the dinar until Iraq has at least first reinstated the dinar. ...So we are looking for a “reinstatement” first. Any significant change in value beyond the value prior to the international embargo of the currency can then be called a revaluation but only in the sense of increased value. Technically in IMF terms it is NOT really a “revaluation”. So why does everyone keep saying they are looking for the RV? When I use this term RV I am using it generically saying that the rate will significantly increase. I do not mean a formal revaluation.
11-2-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...news of some debt forgiveness of the 2004 Paris Agreement and meeting the conditions of the IMF Stand By Agreement terms is completed in order to do so. This is a huge sum of money ($128 billion) and once again sets Iraq up in a position allowing them more financial flexibility. As we all know paying off past debt, especially war debt, is showing financial responsibility and this sets up Iraq in a better position for the reinstatement of the dinar sooner than later. But I do not hear that this is a trigger mechanism for the reinstatement.
11-2-2018 Intel Guru Bruce ...I was feeling really good about what was supposed to occur for us last night [Wednesday]. I will tell you why, and this vindicates me somewhat.

They started paying out, and we are sitting here with a very slow rollout at playing catch up now. ...What it tells us is we were ready to go...We are still in a process here of a rollout. There are things happening as we speak...We been told by HSBC London that we are under a let’s call it High Alert Status...

11-1-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan On a slightly different path we see working in conjunction with Iraq, we did see the AMF with Iraq that ended a 10 day meeting...last Thursday. It was between Iraq and the AMF among others like the IMF, WB, BIS, etc.. Why is this all important...Contracts. The AMF (22 countries), Kuwait, USA, Great Britain, Japan, Korea, etc., were working on imo valuation of the REER to use for to adjust contracts. Very important part of the final process.. They need to establish Fair Value for pricing goods and services.
11-1-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [When are they [IMF] going to review Iraq’s situation again I wonder] Once the government is fully formed. I would expect we will hear within a month.
11-1-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [How much more do you think Iraq needs to achieve or put into place before they can reveal their true rate of exchange? I'm sure the list has shrunk dramatically.] Dramatically indeed - if we don't have any solid movement after the GOI is seated, I will be doing a more comprehensive post on the subject. Since that may not be necessary, let's just see what the next week brings us.
11-1-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Quote: "The next phase of currency reform is the conversion from old cash currency to new. The authorities must decide—at first privately—when the currency exchange will begin, when it will end, and whether or not to cap, in absolute terms, the amount to be exchanged. Then, decisions on the announcement of and publicity for the currency exchange must be made. Other essential decisions include the conversion rate and how financial assets, resident/nonresident accounts, and existing currency contracts will be treated in the currency exchange." They tell us above that those in charge of MR must decide when the exchange will begin, when it will end, etc,. They also mention the conversion rate and how it will effect other things like currency contracts and how they are to be treated in the currency exchange. This is at the end of the process as noted in the Turkmenistan model. At this final phase is at the time when they first privately, then eventually publicly say when they will do it and at what conversion rate. Hence, we await the "" 2nd Article"".. So why do I bring this back up again? Well, today we see them talking about contracts.. Part of the final phase, imo.. That is why I do.
11-1-2018 Intel Guru ADMINBILL ...Much has been leaked through banking and government sources that continue to be false flags for purposes known only to those that initiate them. That does not mean they are incorrect. Imo, what they share is meant for those that are the bankers, lawyers and agencies that will make the RV/GCR process happen when the release is activated. Perhaps it is one of the continual preparatory drills to make absolutely sure all agencies and organizations are in sync and ready to go at a moment's notice. And perhaps it is a way of making sure we are ready as well.
11-1-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So in today’s news we see one matter announced on Monday that Iraq has withdrawn from the FATF monitoring list after it has fulfilled its international obligations in the field of combating money laundering and terrorist financing. They have now moved to the “white list”. This can only help in the getting the reinstatement since why did the UN sanction the currency in the first place? Was it not for money laundering and financing terrorists? So this is now all taken care of and no longer an obstacle. So the CBI can no longer use this as an excuse as to why they are not reinstating the dinar.

10-31-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana At the moment, I am content to wait for things to unfold - we have some important dates upcoming, and I foresee a holding pattern until the GOI is fully formed. On the positive side... I have nothing negative to report...November 6 is a good day to watch for... it should be apparent at that time what the missing component is (which Government position), which will give us a very decent clue about what we can expect in the coming days. Regarding the upcoming sanctions [Iran]...I'm glad they are prior to November 6th - that should streamline any effects that they may have. ...Where the sanctioned parties may experience a weakening, Iraq has a great opportunity to gain strength. For that reason alone, we could have a nice window just ahead!
10-31-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat The news is slow from Iraq since Monday and Tuesday were official holidays. Now they go back to work, however parliament is not expected back until Nov 6th. Anyhow I would not stake any RV on any trigger completion of Mahdi’s new government in this next session anyhow since we also heard that it is not a critical matter anymore and the last set of ministers are picked and all agreed on them already...the only target I know of is of EARLY 2019. The CBI did want to move ahead with the reinstatement in the month of October but could not do so due to not resolving many matters as they thought they could.
10-31-2018 Intel Guru Bruce Here is where we are. You guys know that even though it seems that Iraq used to be the linch pin. Now they are sort of the hinge pin. Now China is the linch pin. China wants this thing done, and they have in essence moved this up a day or so for us. That is very positive...really good news. So let me tell you Iraq is in the picture though. ...we are expecting all the rates of the main currencies that we...hold to come up on the screen around by midnight, by or before midnight [Tuesday]...The Dinar will have an in-country rate which is well over $4 now. Whatever it gets to in-country meaning the rate within Iraq, we will have a higher rate on our front screen than what they will have in-country. It could be almost doubled than what they have in-country in that range approximately. What is interesting is they are getting in preparation for everything to go. ...You are in a very close and good place provided everything rolls according to plan, I think we are right there, right where we need to be.
10-31-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Abdul Amir Taiban, deputy of the Fatah alliance, stated that the remaining 8 cabinet selectees will be voted and accepted at the next session of the House of Representatives.

10-30-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "THE ECONOMIC COUNCIL STRESSES THE IMPORTANCE OF IRAQ’S TRANSITION TO THE FREE ECONOMY AND STRESSES: INVESTMENT IS THE SOLUTION" Quote: “THE INVESTMENT LAW IS THEORETICALLY MORE THAN GOOD, BUT OUR PROBLEM IS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION.” The question now is – Will they finally move too a market economy and private sector to attract investors under Mahdi or just talk about it again during this administration? This is also part of the reforms necessary to move forward. The CBI can not move ahead with the project to delete the zeros without these reforms implemented. This is also part of what they told us was a “more suitable environment” for the project to occur. So if you are expecting any RV in November or even in December I would not hold my breath...lol..!
10-30-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan WS also told us there would be a hard peg. That means to me/us/others they will come out strong and keep it there!! That will represent stability and security... Just what a new currency needs to have!! Therefore, coming out low could be rife with shorting, market manipulations as the lower the rate the easier it is to do so. Imo they will not ever be 1:1 with the dollar where we in the USA could sell the IQD back for. I/we/others have strong feelings about the rate being back to or well above the glory days. They have told us they wanted to do it at that level many times...The stronger they come out, the less risk the country has not to mention they’ll get imo a credit rating boost to go along with it...So, to me and others in my line of thinking support the view of WS, and my long standing point, “the longer it takes the more money we make.” Lol. We shall see... imo. [post 2 of 2]
10-30-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...with what we have learned from WS [Guru Walkingstick] the rate is going to be effectively in a range that is based on a mixture of the AMF / AAD and the IMF / SDR 3x. The latest loan issued by the AMF in summer of 2017 was around $4.25 - $4.35 / 1 AAD and the AMF / SDR $1.42 3x = $4.26 on the daily rate they use, if I am accurate. If they use the monthly rate of the SDR of approx. $1.95 3x = $5.85...All those numbers or ranges are easily supported by Iraq's wealth. ioo...WS brought us the formula relatively recent time past. I trust his opinion on the matter somewhat knowing where and what his connection is and to whom. So the AMF / AAD - IMF / SDR 3x relationship meets that criteria and is competitive to surrounding nations in the AMF. ~ imo. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

ATM's no longer disperse Foreign Currency...New ATM's ONLY disperse IQD & soon a new category note...Iraq says our National Currency will soon have value and we will only use our National Currency, which will soon have value for the world!...As of today 4-6 Timeframe @ 3 week mark...TF is on track...furthermore in Frank's opinion...before years end... what we should see in the remainder of TF should not be shocking because they are getting ready...they already told the citizens.
10-30-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan The amount of logistics to get all that done, all the people, hotels, gifts, training, etc, and with all those big players will go down as darn near nothing but, miraculous, imo. With that said...I, others, believe this is such a very bullish time frame is because the REER ( Real Effective Exchange Rate) is time sensitive, ioo.(in our opinion). The REER was done Thursday last real close and for them to get the rate done, it cant be much longer for us to wait, as the margin of error in the rate becomes ioo an issue, as the rate could change and that would effect a lot of countries... Therefore, the window we are in now this week thru Monday-ish next week is serious to us...nothing shows us that they are going out to next year... Nor much into November for that matter... imo.

10-30-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...Last week we witnessed a convergence of many things. The week prior there was the symposium with Banks and financial institutions in regard to the Iraqi Currency. WS's (Guru Walkingstick's) firm was in the meeting. The following week we see the AMF (Arab Monetary Fund) in a series of meetings with Iraq helping with the MR (Monetary Reform) along, in conjunction with the likes of the WB, IMF, UST and BIS. Basra Boyz also confirmed the BIS was there... WS tells us they tried and tested the rate and they were successful. The success was the Real Effective Exchange Rate. So not only the AMF met, there were high level training of the trainers while they had the fabulous 4 in country. They did all that and seated the GOI on time too. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

10-29-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 US banks can’t “call” the RV, but they’re still expectant about this week! According to the CBI – “A stable country with a stable government = change in value of the country’s currency.” N’estce pas? The CBI has already acknowledged “a stable country financially” and now we await their declaration of “a stable government.” (which seems to now exist)
10-29-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [Can a national currency exist on program rate?] YES A NATIONAL CURRENCY CAN EXIST ON A PR IN COUNTRY BUT...AN INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY CANNOT EXIST ON A PR OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY.
10-29-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We can see the news from Iraq is slow once again. We are at another lull. As far as the elections go we are waiting for early November to get the rest of the ministers but most importantly to see who is going to be the next three Vice Presidents...Remember the Sadr Movement does not want any old politicians in this new government. So the chances of having the Nori al-Maliki or the other two VPs back in the VP positions is slim to none. However, we must consider Maliki and his goons will continue to try and try right up until the announcement and vote in parliament. ...Iraqi is now putting the emphasis again back on the economy, the 2019 budget and the implementation of the “Investment Law”.
10-29-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Iran's economic minister: America implemented its ban before November 4" Looks like they shut down Iran currency swaps / auctions??? USA implements sanctions early, thus, Iraq has obliged by not trading dollars and apparently Dinars, as they would more likely loose as the sanctions take effect, thus, they shut it down.. Wow! imo.

10-29-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Well by turning off Iran today real close (possibly days ago), they won't let them use the old IQD nor the New IQD, and or the USD per sanctions that apparently are in place early, and they don't have the new IQD yet.. Fascinating, if that holds true. The new currency looks to be the trigger point to seriously put the squeeze on... If the Iranians can't use the old and don't have the new, they'll not benefit from the new Real Effective Exchange Rate for the New IQD. Man, if that holds true, there are going to be some folks feeling a lot of economic pain... Imagine, your seating on 10 million IQD and in Iran? Can't spend them or exchange them for USD nor New IQD...They are effectively worthless to those imposed by sanctions.. imo! [post 2 of 2]
10-29-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan If they are adopting, the predominant medium of exchange for the purchasing of services, goods, then the sovereign nation and her currency will need 1 interdependent, yet, national rate. Here are some things that suggest that we are well beyond that time now. ...As we have been told the calculations have been done already. The symposium introduced to those in the need to know (albeit with reservations on what can or cannot be disclosed publicly, i.e., smalls, coins, rate, when...) about the lower denoms, 250, 500 and 1000 with new security features, publicly. There was an article about the high level training of the trainers (trained on the new). Well they did that over a ten day period that finished up this last Thursday. ...They have had training on the new currency to becoming out in the Month of October they told us per articles.

10-29-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We can see the news from Iraq is slow once again. We are at another lull. As far as the elections go we are waiting for early November to get the rest of the ministers but most importantly to see who is going to be the next three Vice Presidents...Remember the Sadr Movement does not want any old politicians in this new government. So the chances of having the Nori al-Maliki or the other two VPs back in the VP positions is slim to none. However, we must consider Maliki and his goons will continue to try and try right up until the announcement and vote in parliament. ...Iraqi is now putting the emphasis again back on the economy, the 2019 budget and the implementation of the “Investment Law”.
10-29-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Iran's economic minister: America implemented its ban before November 4" Looks like they shut down Iran currency swaps / auctions??? USA implements sanctions early, thus, Iraq has obliged by not trading dollars and apparently Dinars, as they would more likely loose as the sanctions take effect, thus, they shut it down.. Wow! imo.

IMO ...SINCE THE START OF THE MR OF THE IQD...THE CBI AND GOI HAVE SOUGHT SECURITY AND STABILITY IN THEIR COUNTRY. TO STOP THE TERRORISM THAT IRAN FUNDS INSIDE AND AROUND IRAQ. TO STOP IRAN'S CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAQ. IMO...THAT MISSION HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED TO A TOLERABLE LEVEL OF IRAQ'S CONTROL NOW. ALLOWING ...IMO ...THE IQD'S MR TO COME FORTH...NOW.
10-28-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru RVAlready [New Guru] I wish they would kick the RV across the finish line. I am pretty sure everything is ready now. There are no reasons not to do it, and plenty of reasons to do it now… I am of the mind that they will do it soon, or lose the chance, and never do it. Kind of now or never in my mind… They would not have bothered to show the new bills and coins last week, if they were not going to do it…To me, this feels like the quiet before the storm.
10-28-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Mahdi sworn in. Took place on Thursday. Has a constitutional government with 14 ministers. The other ministers are to be sworn in at their next session. Could be tomorrow [Sunday] but said 6th of November. We are waiting! Banks have not come back and given us a window . . . Anticipating "IT" would be in the Gazette which we thought was going to be today. Haven't seen or heard about it. May not be printed until Wednesday but when it does there will be International notification of their cards and rate. So we wait.

10-27-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article quotes: "The Board of Directors of the Central Bank today issued an important statement in which it noted THE CONTINUATION OF ITS EFFORTS DURING THE PAST YEARS TO ACHIEVE ECONOMIC STEADFASTNESS IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF IRAQ AND FACED ECONOMIC AND SECURITY SHOCKS."; "...the central bank WILL WORK WITH CARE AND DEDICATION IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE STABILITY IN THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM AND THE MONETARY SYSTEM IN THE NEXT PHASE..." WHEN THE CBI TALKS I LISTEN...They keep talking about the “next phase” . So what is this next phase? There has been articles on this phase...and according to them it is a 5 year plan (2018-2022) with continuation of the reforms including the monetary reforms, which we know is the project to delete the zeros.

I do not know yet who was rejected and who was ratified. But later on there is an article stating that Mahdi will temporarily assume the minster of Defense and Interior two of the key positions.

10-26-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Abdel-Mahdi is sworn in...as the new prime minister along with 14 of 22 ministers. Remember the CBI NEVER came out and directly told us they would reinstate or RV the currency after the elections process was over. This was assumed from what they said to us back in April. So no one really knows for sure just how long this might take.
10-26-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty Sources near Iraqi Oil Ministry: Iraq will stop exporting Kirkuk's oil to Iran in November to coincide with new U.S. sanctions.
10-26-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So now I will give you the latest numbers given to me by the reports that were given to the US Treasury on Jan 2018. The reports consist of mandatory forms filled in by currency brokers when they sell the dinar. These forms are sent to the US Treasury when you purchased your currency. There is an address space on the form for the purchaser. So you are being tracked. In order for these online internet or banks to sell these currencies outside of the global currency exchanges, they must adhere to the legal framework set up by the US Treasury. What is the latest count based on this procedure? ...the US Treasury has received 2.5 million initial purchases since 2004 when they began tracking the IQD in the USA. Most purchases are under 10 million dinar. A very large holder might hold 100 million. ...Even with the gift giving, the UN Treasury projects only maybe 2.75-3 million at best now have IQD in their possession and await the reinstatement and exchange process...
10-26-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 ...the Monetary Reform of the IQD, of the Central Bank of Iraq, is no secret. It’s no secret. They are willing. And they are telling anyone who is willing to listen, that the CBI, that Iraq, is soon to change their exchange rate.
10-26-2018 Intel Guru Bruce These rates came completely off the screen at noon, and not come back up until 2:30am. The last time that happened was the day before Kuwait revalued their Dinar. Pretty significant for those who remembered the revalued of the Kuwait Dinar. That is a big deal. The gist of this is we are so close we can just about touch it. We have been patient to wait this long, but if we are to look back at what has happened, we see all these puzzle pieces we have put together in this 1000 piece puzzle creating this picture for us. They have got this far enough where we are sort of at the point of no return...We are in a really good spot to begin... [post 2 of 2]
10-26-2018 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] Now you guys knew they were having an election and appointment their Parliament and their Cabinet...What does it have to do with it? Well it has to do with we have been waiting on Iraq to announce their Parliament, Cabinet, new Prime Minister, and to put a rate out. We do know there is an in-country rate in Iraq which we believe is at $3.71. Then we will have our in-country rate which will be much higher well over double that we believe. The most significant piece I heard today was that approximately noon EST all the rates came off the IMF screens except 5 and those 5 were that make up the SDR Basket, the Special Drawing Right Currencies. That would be the USD, the British pound, the Euro, the Chinese Yuan, and the Swiss Franc... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
10-26-2018 Newshound Guru chattels So, it would appear that Iraq has a new government. The government is " incomplete " ( 14 of 22 ministers given a vote of confidence by Parliament ), but it is " functional ", i.e., there is a majority which enables the Cabinet to meet / act / govern.

10-25-2018 ***** Dinar Guru News Flash ***** It's official! Mahdi has been officially and constitutionally sworn in as the new Prime Minister. The new GOI has been seated a week before the constitutional deadline. The peaceful handoff of government control ceremony happened late yesterday with former PM Abadi. At least 14 ministers were also sworn in, including the important posts of Minister of Oil -Ghadhban and Minister of Finance -Hussein. The gurus point out that the GOI is officially seated and the transfer of power complete BUT there are still 8 or so minister seats to fill...there could be some surprises to come. Stay tuned as the gurus chime in about this HUGE surprise development! The latest guru posts will continue below...
10-25-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 The CBI...has given us all the signs without saying the word… REER... This article cuts very short. All it does not say is the acronym REER. But the whole article, is nothing more than a self-confession, a definition of the Tried, Tested, and Success of running their country at 1:1. REER stands for Real Effective Exchange Rate. REER means equalizing, bringing forth, the REAL EFFECTIVE Exchange Rate, of a countries currency; which by the way, is not a Program Rate. [Guru] Walkingstick, his friends, his bank owners, his firm, his employees were selected to do this test and trial run, on a second set of books, that the GOI, using not the Program Rate, but a 1:1 rate, testing in the process of the REER...Because these banks, that ran with the testing, and made it successful, are now reporting to them, to say: All systems are “GO” on our Monetary Reform. The environment: We have maintained the stability in the exchange rate, in foreign currencies. [post 2 of 2]
10-25-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [via Sunkissed] Article: "The Central Bank of Iraq confirms the continuation of their reformist approach to achieve financial and monetary stability." ...the article tells you that in the last 4 years, the government along with the CBI, has been testing many companies in Iraq, like for example [Guru] Walkingstick’s firm, many banks in Iraq, many merchant accounts, many businesses, they’ve been testing them with a Dual Exchange Rate. Not only with our currency in the way we pay our people, but with our budget...And you know what? Something came out of it. REER!!! REER…is a change!…within the country’s currency, with denomination or, with the exchange rate of their currency. A change! Yes. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

News reports indicate that the government of PM Abdul Madhi has become constitutional. US Banks were excited with anticipation of exchange activity possibly this week (?) Time Will Tell.
10-25-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Now that the new Iraqi Gov is is place I expect the IMF to meet with the CBI in the near future to discuss monetary policy. I've always felt this consultation will occur before any significant monetary change. If you go back and look at last year's Article IV, the IMF made it very clear that the CBI needed to move to Article VIII to send a message to the global investment community that Iraq is open for business. Slowly we are inching closer to that decision which is positive for Iraq. As well, a change in exchange rate regime from fixed to float will begin to allow the dinar to rise gradually. And...due to the significance in urgency of this reform we may see this change occur very shortly. Hopefully within a month or two at the latest.
10-25-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana There have been times in the past where I mentioned that we have a "couple weeks" or some other amount of time where I definitely didn't see anything happening. Now is not that time... Anything can happen right now. The only issue I see right now is the final seating of the new members...It is a REALLY good feeling to be able to say the "only thing" holding us up is a finalization of the new GOI, which is proceeding very smoothly!

10-24-2018 ***Dinar Guru News Update*** In the left column of this page you see the CBI official rates for the dinar. The official EXCHANGE rate and the CBI reported MARKET rate. (There are two different rates reported by the CBI. The MARKET rate is the dinar rate on the streets of Iraq and part of the 2% compliance some guru believe is needed). Members have noticed the CBI has NOT updated the market rate since October 8th...that's over two weeks. The CBI generally updates this number every business day or every couple of business days. I wanted to let you know, the number shown here is the latest official CBI number released. This delay in reporting is a little out of the normal behavior from the CBI but we'll have to keep an eye on it to see if it means anything...they have delayed updates in the past. Stay tuned to see if the Gurus feel this is something interesting and meaningful or not. The latest guru posts will continue below...

10-24-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan This was all done on Abadi's watch over the past four years and the CBI is telling us and the world that they are geared for the next phase of Monetary Reform. They have a surplus in the Budget enabling them to pay their internal debt and prevent impact from international conditions that may affect them in the future. They have overcome major issues and now they are telling us they have it under control and handing off a baton that is very well placed and organized for the new government and it's success. Add in the recent past symposium introducing the information on new currency, the on going AMF meeting and the seating of the the PMs cabinet here in short order if not already. These events clearly show that they are on the track to the finish line...imo. So, can we take a roll call? AMF...here! World Bank...here! Iraqi Private Banks...here! CBI...here! Ok.

The central bank is reassuring that they have and have had full control of their monetary policy for 4 years running, just as WS [Guru Walkingstick] has told us they have. They have had the calculations all well calculated with tools in place to maintain stability of their exchange rate well into the future. They have here and in other articles talked about and showed that they have increased reserves exceeding 60 billion dollars, not to mention they increased their gold holdings by about 6.5 additional tonnes and have stated they increased revenues matching their oil output other sources necessary to compliment oil and shocks that may arise out of negative market conditions!

10-24-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Article quote: "...the government still suffers from corruption, economic mismanagement and political polarization, and it will take strong secular leadership to create the stability Sistani is seeking. The question is whether such progress will be made during the ayatollah’s lifetime." The foregoing begs the question of whether we will see the stability necessary to realize an increase in the value of the dinar in our lifetime.
10-24-2018 Intel Guru Bruce I am not trying to call it. I am saying if this is to go tomorrow [Wednesday], it should go some time after that Iraq meeting concludes and after those rates are put out. Possibly they be put out around 1pm EST. We are very close to this going. Banks...are on lockdown... I am doing my very best not to call it. ...I am just trying to paint the picture I am hearing. I am putting out information that is valid, that I think is meaningful to us, and it just might bring this blessing in for us. [post 2 of 2]
10-24-2018 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] What we understand is that the date that will go down as the start of this RV or GCR or whatever we are calling it this day, it is going to end up being ...October 22nd...We know that things have happened since last Tuesday and Thursday to move this thing forward. We know that we are right there in the sweet stop for this to go the next few days. I am hearing information that is pretty time sensitive. ...tomorrow [Wednesday], Iraq time, between 6 and 8 pm ...is the meeting that will determine everything...that is Iraq is to do the new rate for the dinar, with their Parliament...Election of their Cabinet, and everything they need to bring out. That is a two hour meeting. I am hearing about an hour afterwards, let’s call it 8:30 or 9 pm Iraq time tomorrow [Wednesday], I think they will bring out their new rate. ...convert it to US time, that means the timing of that meeting is between 10 and noon EST. 1:00pm will be an hour later.

10-24-2018 Newshound Guru chattels Article quote: "...the government still suffers from corruption, economic mismanagement and political polarization, and it will take strong secular leadership to create the stability Sistani is seeking. The question is whether such progress will be made during the ayatollah’s lifetime." The foregoing begs the question of whether we will see the stability necessary to realize an increase in the value of the dinar in our lifetime.
10-24-2018 Intel Guru Bruce I am not trying to call it. I am saying if this is to go tomorrow [Wednesday], it should go some time after that Iraq meeting concludes and after those rates are put out. Possibly they be put out around 1pm EST. We are very close to this going. Banks...are on lockdown... I am doing my very best not to call it. ...I am just trying to paint the picture I am hearing. I am putting out information that is valid, that I think is meaningful to us, and it just might bring this blessing in for us. [post 2 of 2]
10-24-2018 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] What we understand is that the date that will go down as the start of this RV or GCR or whatever we are calling it this day, it is going to end up being ...October 22nd...We know that things have happened since last Tuesday and Thursday to move this thing forward. We know that we are right there in the sweet stop for this to go the next few days. I am hearing information that is pretty time sensitive. ...tomorrow [Wednesday], Iraq time, between 6 and 8 pm ...is the meeting that will determine everything...that is Iraq is to do the new rate for the dinar, with their Parliament...Election of their Cabinet, and everything they need to bring out. That is a two hour meeting. I am hearing about an hour afterwards, let’s call it 8:30 or 9 pm Iraq time tomorrow [Wednesday], I think they will bring out their new rate. ...convert it to US time, that means the timing of that meeting is between 10 and noon EST. 1:00pm will be an hour later.

10-24-2018 Newshound Guru Phillyman Article: "Iraq’s Sadr rejects secret vote for new cabinet" Quote: "Iraq’s Shia cleric Muqtada Al-Sadr today rejected a secret vote in parliament on the new cabinet lineup."

10-24-2018 Intel Guru ADMINBILL I remain very optimistic regarding our future. The timing remains in question with several contacts believing October into mid-November possible. What happens in Iraq is window dressing...
10-23-2018 Newshound Guru ChrisC ...Do the people know they are going to be revalued? Logic would say yes and the second article is just a final statement from the CBI of timing and instructions. They went to a lot of trouble and put the people through a lot of hardship removing the 1000, 500 and 250 out of the market just so, apparently, the people wouldn't be confused with the new design. I remember when the new 100 bill came out here. It was a little of a surprise to see it but in a few days it was no big deal. I fully expect this to happen soon. It is absurd to think Iraq will not have a strong international currency...

10-21-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I want to remind everyone that there is NO FACTUAL basis for anyone telling you the Reinstatement is imminent. I know of a plan to reinstate the currency by the end of October if and only if the US is willing to sign off on it. This will NOT occur unless the government is “fully” formed and key positions are NOT in jeopardy. Personally, I believe we will move into 2019 without a reinstatement as the CBI is already looking at this timeframe as a possibility. There is just too much evidence building already for the case of 2019.
10-21-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Parliament meets today to resolve 70% or more of Madhi's cabinet selections amidst assurances that he would not select previous ministers of PM Abadi cabinet or any deputies from the current session. The intent is to conclude that the votes on the government of Madhi does not exceed this week. A memo, intended for banks to arrive late Friday evening, has not appeared with some banks and did with others. The basic emphasis is on expected changes on Forex. Let's just wait and see what happens later today when it opens. Screens were grayed out over the weekend.
10-21-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 They talk about maybe ...[Saturday], maybe Sunday, to sit the government. But they won’t. Now don’t get depressed about that. What does that have to do with the Monetary Reform? It would be nice to have it. But look, go back to the days of Maliki. Go back to the days of Abadi? Did you ever see a fully seated government? No. Fascinating isn’t it? Do you expect Mahdi to give you a fully seated Government too? In my opinion, Noooo. ...In my opinion family… Mahdi may resign before the GOI is even seated. I mean he might, he might not, it’s just my opinion. You know why it’s my opinion? Because it’s a rumor in Iraq.
10-21-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch There are reports of recent IQD talk from an Iraqi economist along the lines of "We should equal the US dollar." If true, this is precisely what I've been expecting them to inevitably do. To the penny. Yet, they cannot just suddenly declare 44 trillion issued and outstanding dinars to have an exchange value of 44 trillion dollars now can they? No, of course not, since the idea is not to chase dinars out of the country for subsequent ex-pat exchange abuses, but to draw them into the financial system for the benefit of all Iraqi citizens. And if that's true, that they are not going to suddenly increase the exchange value of their issued dinars to equal the dollar, one might ask, what are they going to do to reestablish a vigorous and valuable sovereign Iraqi currency? Within that answer may lie both the trick and the happy treat.

We know the USA refuses to sign off and give a full commitment to reinstate the dinar unless they see a stable new government. One of the conditions they have give is to form their new government. Iraqi news reports that Prime Minister-Designate Madhi will present his cabinet choices on Saturday Oct 20th and Parliament will hold a special session on Sunday for voting.
10-18-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru David M. Witty In Iraq, source says Maliki is thinking of withdrawing from the new government formation process. Previously it was stated Maliki would maintain his position as deputy president in new government.
10-18-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat We all are aware that the dinar, as it stands today, is worth much more than the program rate now assigned by the CBI. But this higher rate must be realized by supply and demand for the currency. Just be reducing the amount of dinar in circulation down from about 150 trillion to 44 trillion dinars alone is showing us the CBI is serious about this plan. It is only when the dinar is re-pegged to the SDR basket and then gets reinstated to the open market trading platforms once again, as it was in pre-war days, that the dinar can potentially go to a much more substantial rate. Many call this the “revaluation” or RV but technically an RV never really happens. It is a “reinstatement” that occurs that eventually gives the dinar back it former rate (glory days) plus more.
10-18-2018 Newshound Guru Phillyman ...Abdul-Mahdi is supposed to finally present at least half his cabinet next week but as I read in one article there still are issues. Quote: "According to the sources, the debate is still large on the ministries of defense and interior and foreign affairs and finance and planning..." But, the big article of today to me is the GE news...The Trump administration intervened to quash a $15 billion deal for Siemens Corp. to develop power stations in Iraq, instead persuading Baghdad to sign an agreement with General Electric Co., two administration officials said. Article quote: “This is part of very strong campaign of engagement in Iraqi government formation and a very targeted effort to support the Iraqi government and minimize Iranian influence,”
10-18-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana Iraq, with a very significant chunk of the black gold available to us on this planet, somehow slipped through the cracks and didn't even have to raise a hand in agreement with this major agreement that was put in place by some tiny insignificant countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, wait a minute... those are NOT tiny or insignificant! Quite the opposite, in fact - they are major players. Some of the OPEC members have substantially less resources than Iraq. This is important to remember because to this very day, Iraq has not made any promises to abide by the current agreement. This gives them the full ability to stockpile reserves, and flood the market at a moment's notice, which could bring in an enormous pile of cash to use in any way they want...You know, like... funding an RV.

They all agreed to control their production. They made a big deal out of it. Iraq's position in this agreement is HUGE... mostly because they are barely even mentioned in all 39 of those pages!!!

10-17-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat THE PROJECT TO DELETE THE ZEROS IS IN MOTION...We are now seeing the very slow transition to the dependence on the smaller denominations as part of the plan. We know this is within the last steps of the plan. Soon they will launch out the next set of even yet smaller, smaller denominations...the initial removal of the 3 zeros will not impact the rate. ...They are not reducing the value or increasing the value of the dinar within the “initial” stages of the plan to delete the zeros. ...initially the rate in country will come out at about 1:1 for about 2-3 weeks prior to us seeing it on the global trading platforms. This gives the CBI time to monitor it and adjust for inflation. Then when it does finally come out on the exchanges, it will be adjusted to the new SDR basket and put on a float (as all currencies on the exchanges are on a float). There will probably be a fixed cap (a predetermined maximum rate).
10-17-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni I assure you nothing is going to happen with the dinar until the government is formed and parliament passes the necessary delinquent laws. I also expect the IMF to meet with the CBI. I have said on numerous occasions IMF Article VIII is critical to opening Iraq's banking to the world's Financial system. I don't see that happening until after the IMF meets with the CBI to have their Article IV Consultation which has been postponed til the formation of the gov.

10-17-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat CURRENT TARGET DATE BY THE CBI: I want everyone to understand that I have always been telling you that they are now targeting to reinstate the Iraqi dinar by the end of October (of 2018) and if they don’t do it then they know that they could be in jeopardy of having to wait into EARLY 2019 due to possible instability that may be caused by the ramped up new Iranian sanctions. This part of the plan to delete the zeros is not something you just snap your fingers and its done.
10-17-2018 Intel Guru Bruce I have heard they wanted to adjust the rates over the next day or two. Either Wednesday or Thursday they should have those where they want them to be for us to go. The rates are being traded upwards. So I am excited where we are going. We are coming up on it. I would say the intention is for this to go down in the next two to two and half days. Simple as that. I know in Iraq they have plans to celebrate... Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I think they are ready for something to pop over there or they wouldn’t be setting up celebrations. People are excited about it. The ones we are talking to over there are excited about it, and they see this happening. [post 2 of 2]

That is to be given over to the Parliament to vote in on Sunday. Now that is for I believe is for something of a formality. I think what has happened is President Trump had a conversation very early in the morning...with Abadi to get this thing done in terms what Iraq needs to do with their Parliament, the seating of it, to have that done as well as their rate out published in 48 hours.

That’s what they want. All of a sudden it’s a big deal for Iraq to revalue because they [Iran] can benefit from it. Why? Because their country is being shut off from the world. That’s a huge plus for us. You should be excited. I’m not kidding, you should be very very excited because it means something. Now what’s the rate and what’s the date it’s going to come out?

10-14-2018 Newshound Guru Don961 [In this article it states "Abdul Mahdi has 30 days to form his government and is likely to succeed" When did the 30 days start?] Nov. 3 is the end of the mandate to form a cabinet ... it can be satisfied any time before that of course.
10-14-2018 Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf Article quote: "Experts predict this announcement will trigger one of the most profound transfers of wealth in our lifetime."

If it does not come from the CBI, it does not exist…one of the scenarios out there, what if they do produce new notes? Like a 1000 note or the notes that are already out there that we have? There is nothing wrong with that. They gotta replace the currency sooner or later with new currency. This stuff gets damaged, it gets old…they honor different people or different heritage sites…that’s one of the new currencies coming out in Iraq - SUPPOSEDLY! Again I have not heard that from the CBI…it definitely didn’t come from parliament…It didn’t come from the Minister of Planning…It didn’t come from the Minister of Finance. So that’s pretty much it. You have the entities that can point Iraq into a certain direction and you have the actual entity that performs and manages it. That’s the CBI.

A high level show and tell on Monday, interesting. Timing of the 2019 budget that needs to be addressed by the HOR by the 15th, Monday. Confidence comes from a strong currency and 1190 is not strong, by any stretch of the means. An international rate (calculation) applied accordingly along with the new small categories with metals will do the trick, just as the economist told us that he doesn't mind the Alak signature on the currency, just get it to, or at least 1:1... lol

You have the entities that can point Iraq into a certain direction and you have the actual entity that performs and manages it. That’s the CBI. Nothing in these articles say they’re in line with these entities…
10-14-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "University of Ceyhan to host a symposium on the Iraqi currency next Monday" Quote: "the lecture will be about the importance of enhancing confidence in the Iraqi currency in light of the major challenges facing the global monetary system as a result of the economic war between the major powers." A high level show and tell on Monday, interesting. Timing of the 2019 budget that needs to be addressed by the HOR by the 15th, Monday. Confidence comes from a strong currency and 1190 is not strong, by any stretch of the means. An international rate (calculation) applied accordingly along with the new small categories with metals will do the trick, just as the economist told us that he doesn't mind the Alak signature on the currency, just get it to, or at least 1:1... lol
10-13-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 On the Iraqi TV news, Prime Minister-Designate Madhi was stating that his cabinet will be selected and in place within the next 10 days. Parliament held its meeting today and announced the names of all of the new committees.

10-13-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Do y'all remember back in 2012 when al-Maliki ran the current CBI Governor Shabibi out of the country? Well in recent days the uprising over Ali al-Alaq signature on the new printed notes has the smell of Maliki. What I mean by that is all of the complaining that he didn't have authority to put a signature on the new notes, and now the recent lawsuit against him for doing so seems like an attempt to stop progress and monetary policy and its tracks. I may be wrong but this looks like an opportunity for Maliki to run Alaq out of his proxy CBI position just like he did Shabibi and slow down the CBI's attempt to develop banking and engage it with the world's financial system. Maliki has already found out that the best way to stop progress is to run the governor out of the CBI as it would set back progress several years. I hope I'm wrong and this is something that blows over in a few days and we can get back to taking steps forward.

They are going to have to decide if they want to do business with the biggest economic engine in the history of all mankind, with the strongest currency that has ever existed in the history of all mankind and the biggest markets that have ever existed in all mankind or they can do business with…Iran. Now there’s a decision for you right? That’s what’s happening. This whole thing has to do with what Iran can have access to. They basically look at Iraq as their piggybank. So not only do they want to get as many US dollars out of Iraq, now they’re also saying, ‘Hey, it’s probably a cool idea…Iraq revalue it’s currency.’ It’s not just small talk…They are trying to add value to the currency.

10-12-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch If the CBI does release notes in the 1 dinar to 100 dinar range in the near term, and if there is not an immediate and significant positive change in the exchange rates of the IQD to other national currencies, and I suspect there won't be, don't panic. There may be a very good reason for any significant changes in the exchange rates to stall for a short time while 40 million proud Iraqi citizens get acclimated to their new legal tender. It is vital that any possible release of new classes of currency be done in a way that maintains economic stability for all Iraqi citizens first and foremost.
10-12-2018 Intel Guru Delta For them to place more 1000 dinar notes, this gives you the indication that the 3 zero deletion, is coming off the exchange rate. Not from the currency. Otherwise, they never would have printed these. It’s not even a question now. Why they’re printing the 1000 dinar notes if they are going to get rid of them? Because it’s going to come off the exchange rate, and not from the currency by itself. This is really good news! This is a brilliant idea. Now for us of course, this is very important, but of course, we are waiting for the events for them to change the rate. We do believe, that along the way, the rate will change before they introduce the other Lower Denomination. That’s what we are looking for right now. [post 2 of 2]
10-12-2018 Intel Guru Delta We know that they are about to make their move. For them to print Lower Denominations, even the 250, 500, and even the 1000, this give you an indication that the rate has to increase. But definitely a lot of stuff going on. It looks like, for the suitable environment, like you said, and that is an excellent point.

10-11-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch What I do believe is that they may be preparing to issue VLD (Very Low Denomination) classes of currency in addition to the three-zero notes, the latter being phased out in the natural course of almost 40 million Iraqis going about their daily lives, buying and selling, earning and consuming, transacting normal business in favor of the new, dimensionally smaller, lower face value, maybe even prettier and more patriotic, VLD notes. It is possible this gravitation could have a pronounced effect on various macroeconomic values and ratios, which may, in turn, have further pronounced effects on things like intrinsic values and purchasing power, all occurring at reasonably controllable, predictable speeds. And if this turns out to be true, it might end up being said in retrospect that never was the term "less is more" more profoundly appropriate. [post 2 of 2]

Take a bow Alak... lol Just thinking out loud...He did get a recent award for doing a fine job?? Now he has his name on the Currency. I don't buy that was a mistake or even will be costly for him. In fact, it looks more like it was planned, as the CBI board would know the legalities of such a move and knew of the consequences of their actions. I pray those consequences are one nice new internationally recognized rate less a few zeros... imo Lets let the dust settle from tomorrow and see if they expose the new smalls once the banks in Iraq close, like they did last Thursday.. I like Sundays too.. lol.

10-10-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...PM Mahdi is tasked with the job of forming the government. A strong key to the future value of Iraqi Dinar is, as I mentioned earlier, OIL. Oh, did I mention that incoming Prime Minister Abdul Mahdi served as OIL MINISTER between 2014 and 2016? ...and he was placed there under Abadi, back when it was Abadi’s job to form the GOI. Even before that, Mahdi was Finance Minister under Allawi back in 2004. This new Prime Minister may not be everyone’s favorite… but he has some very serious credentials, and I think he’s going to play very nice with all of the important people in this process. New President, New PM, solid progress already happening. This recent election is a ROARING success for Iraq. If this keeps up, we’re looking at progress like we’ve never seen before - the HCL is going to be upon us before we even realize it, and if you aren’t watching for that RV text...you might miss it! I’m ready at a moment’s notice…are you? [post 3 of 3]
10-10-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana According to the Iraqi Constitution, the new PM has exactly 30 days from taking the role to seat/appoint/select the new GOI. For those of you new to the discussion, that means nothing… if it takes longer than 30 days, nobody is getting hanged, tarred and feathered, or anything else. I expect to see the job 80% done inside the “mandatory” 30 days… but that 80% is probably enough for the job we need done...Follow recent history over the last couple years, glance at the recent elections, then compare them to the elections that were held over 10 years ago when many Iraqi Dinar holders first heard that there was an opportunity for the Dinar to regain it’s former value… OH. WHAT. A. DIFFERENCE! ...they have control of their systems. They didn’t have to call for help on anything. And that is EXACTLY what we want to see, what the world wants to see, in order to support a revaluation on their currency. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]

In the same week!? ...Believe it or not, it happened, and we’re off to the races. ...let’s remember what this really comes down to… OIL. For us to profit off of a rise in value on the currency of Iraq, they must raise the exchange rate. ...A revaluation of their currency was a long shot in 2008, but it was certainly possible. Now, in 2018, it’s much less of a long shot. In fact, with the complete passage of the HCL, it’s almost a certainty. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]
10-10-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni I have not stated anything... regarding an RV or an RI in over 6 years. And yes the first four years I was in this investment I did think it was a possibility until I became more educated. Central banks don't spend 90 billion dinars to reprint existing currency unless they expected to be in circulation for at least a few years. If anything this should put an end to the...nonsense. There is no overnight event. The only possible positive outlook on the dinar would be a gradual appreciation via float over time...I've said so for 6 years there is no RV RI. Monetary policy is a name used by central banks to categorize tools that they use to maintain exchange rates. Floating the currency is one of those tools as it is used to combat inflationary pressure created by an influx of capital and investment. That is how monetary policy works. It's not some random act...

We have been told many times these notes will coincide with the smaller categories and eventually will be needed in trade for large sums of debt. So this is actually something good as they are following what they said they would do. Remember they are “replacing” these larger notes with a new version not introducing more volume of currency in circulation. They already have the needed balance and quota needed by reducing the currency volume already by 2/3.
10-8-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 (Central Bank of Iraq launched small amounts of coins to the market with changes in its design) ...This is talking about the 1,000, 500, 250 notes not the 1, 5, 10, 20 ...completion of lower notes should bring out the Full Second Article...then lift value & new small notes..
10-8-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Why...did the CBI issue these new version format of the 1000 dinar? ...they said in other recent past articles, that the 1000 dinar note was being counterfeited already since they know the value is going to shortly seriously go up and this is going to be the largest of the smaller category notes widely within the public circulation. ...So what timeframe do you thin the CBI might now be thinking of to reinstate the dinar? ...I can say this with much confidence that the CBI may very well target again the December into January timeframe for the reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar based on past history of target dates. So, if this new government is formed and no major events happen that cause alarm or instability we may be in a good window at that time. [post 3 of 3]
10-8-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So why is the CBI putting out so many of the smaller categories like the 250, 500 and 1,000 notes? This is because more people are now able to use these notes for daily transactions for petty cash thus they are getting citizens used to thinking in terms of smaller denominated notes. But we know at some point they must also raise the value of these notes. But when is exactly this optimum time? We know that in all of the targeted reinstatement timeframes (...CBI timeframes...) that they intended to go always in the month of December – January. ...Then we also find out that the CBI...began the replacement of 25000 and 10000 notes that are now in circulation. This move is not a contradiction of the process to delete the zeros since they are replacing these 3 zero notes as they also told us once again and I quote – “WITHOUT ANY INTENTION TO WITHDRAW FROM CIRCULATION". So again they told us these 3 zero notes will coincide with the smaller category notes. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]

10-8-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni CBI gets ready to introduce replacement currency 250, 500, 1000 dinars. This new currency only makes sense if they expect them to be in circulation for a while. No overnight event! The dinar will only rise gradually via a float. That is how monetary policy works. Raising the value of the Iraqi dinar is part of a much bigger process...integrating Iraq's financial system into the worlds banking system. That process includes the CBI accepting Article VIII of the IMF charter and moving to a new exchange rate regime. The reason the CBI must move away from it's current exchange rate regime (peg) is to counter inflationary pressure created when large amounts of capital and investment comes into Iraq. The new exchange rate regime will be a float allowing the CBI to counter this pressure by gradually raising the value. The good news is as I have said before is that I expect that process to start very soon.

10-7-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch ...Until they release new classes of VLD (Very Low Denomination) currencies, in the range of 1 dinar to 100 dinar notes, the working theory I've been hinting about is on hold. This does not mean they won't do as much soon, but I must admit I was hoping to see something along the lines of VLD with these new predicted currency releases. Still, the fact that they have yet to breach this VLD range means the potential for such an issue remains viable. When it does finally happen, and if must if they plan to ever have the IQD achieve equality with the USD, it will be a surprise event. It's just not the sort of thing they would telegraph ahead of time.
10-7-2018 Newshound Guru chattels [Is it me, or is the Iraq government moving a lot more quickly than they have in the past?] November will be six months since the election which is about the time it has taken for other governments.

10-7-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni This process has been completely documented through the IMF. And monetary policy is never a random act.
10-7-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan They appear to to say two things in the way the are telling us this.

They clearly are doing what they said they were going to do by taking out the large and introducing the smalls.. imo. Then, they tell us now they are going to have a simple change with a new format next week. I don't know about you all, but, this sure sets the stage for big things to happen and in short order, as next week is within hours not days... [post 2 of 2]
10-7-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "Central Bank raises large amounts of currency for small groups" Possibly, by definition they have said they introduced currencies to rival the dollar...

The CBI also told us they were to make a simple change in respect to trading next week.. Quote: "The Central Bank raises large amounts of currency for small groups."

10-6-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [Hearing you say soon is surprising...] Opening up the banking system to engage with the world's financial system along with floating the dinar is top priority.

10-6-2018 Intel Guru Delta Article: "We plan to restructure the Iraqi currency including deleting zeros" FYI...DELETE ZEROS WILL BE FROM EXCHANGE RATE ...3 ZEROS NOTE WILL PHASE OUT ...
10-6-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraqi TV reports PM Abadi informing the citizens that economic reforms could not be completed during his tenure due to security concerns with ISIS and the slowly progressing political issues. Both are now resolved and the new incoming Prime Minister should have no problems completing the task. Also on Iraqi TV is the message that political blocks have already submitted their candidate-selects to fill government posts to the Prime Minister-Designate projecting completion of assignments before the 30-day window expires. US Banks are sharing excitement of probable preparations for the first-of-the-week type of activity! ...Everything appears to moving at record speed compared to the past, can't wait to hear what happens the rest of this weekend!
10-6-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...there is no overnight event. Never will be. I guess all i can do is keep educating. If for no other reason people should understand the CBI would never spend the money to replace the currency unless they expected it to be in circulation for a while. That in itself tells you there is no single overnight RV RI going to happen...I do fully expect the dinar to go up in value, but not overnight. As stated in numerous articles going back years it could take two to three years to delete the zeros. In other words it's a gradual appreciation over time. The good news is I do expect it to start soon. Because Iraq needs to move out of Article XIV and into Article VIII to send a message to investors and the global financial system that they are open for business and as a result of that transition will need to float the currency...as the dinar gradually rises in value over time more emphasis will be on lower notes so having quality notes in circulation supports that.

This has been brought to my attention and it is dated yesterday! Not sure about the source, but, this says coins...Next week... A statement by the bank said that it would introduce large quantities of small categories to meet the need for daily transactions.

10-6-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch "The 1, 5, 10, 20, 100, etc., notes are to be new, as will be the coins." - Newshound Guru MilitiaMan. Head of nail meet hammer. My own guess would be 100, 50, 25, 10, 5 and 1, as I surreptitiously suggested Oct 1st ...but now I'm just splitting hairs. Why those denominations? Easy, because they match 100,000, 50,000, 25,000, 10,000, 5,000 and 1,000 but without the triple zeros. Did I mention it was simple? I think I mentioned that. As our friend Randy [Gru Randy Koonce] likes to say... Breathe. Change can be a scary thing, but if they're doing what I think they're doing, I'll be able to explain how it's going to work, and why it's going to work, and even how quickly I believe it will work, but not until they actually step forward and initiate it. There is still a hidden aspect to it that won't be evident until after it starts. The ball is definitely in their court.
10-6-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 This has been a masterful plan. It’s been right along with what we call the FAB4, you know, the IMF, the United States Treasury, and the World Bank, and they are now reporting to the BIS, and saying...this is what we’ve got...We have a date, and we work with them, we are ready to go. ...they are going to start pumping small categories into the markets gradually ending the crisis. No kidding! THIS IS THE RI!!! THIS IS THE RV!!! ...Sounds like a good plan...
10-6-2018 Intel Guru Delta Article: "We plan to restructure the Iraqi currency including deleting zeros" FYI...DELETE ZEROS WILL BE FROM EXCHANGE RATE ...3 ZEROS NOTE WILL PHASE OUT ...
10-6-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Iraqi TV reports PM Abadi informing the citizens that economic reforms could not be completed during his tenure due to security concerns with ISIS and the slowly progressing political issues. Both are now resolved and the new incoming Prime Minister should have no problems completing the task. Also on Iraqi TV is the message that political blocks have already submitted their candidate-selects to fill government posts to the Prime Minister-Designate projecting completion of assignments before the 30-day window expires. US Banks are sharing excitement of probable preparations for the first-of-the-week type of activity! ...Everything appears to moving at record speed compared to the past, can't wait to hear what happens the rest of this weekend!
10-6-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...there is no overnight event. Never will be. I guess all i can do is keep educating. If for no other reason people should understand the CBI would never spend the money to replace the currency unless they expected it to be in circulation for a while. That in itself tells you there is no single overnight RV RI going to happen...I do fully expect the dinar to go up in value, but not overnight. As stated in numerous articles going back years it could take two to three years to delete the zeros. In other words it's a gradual appreciation over time. The good news is I do expect it to start soon. Because Iraq needs to move out of Article XIV and into Article VIII to send a message to investors and the global financial system that they are open for business and as a result of that transition will need to float the currency...as the dinar gradually rises in value over time more emphasis will be on lower notes so having quality notes in circulation supports that.
10-6-2018 Intel Guru Delta NEW...OUT AS OF THURSDAY...250... 500... 1000.
10-6-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan Article: "The Central Bank of Iraq announced the issuance of quantities described as large on small currencies for daily transactions." This has been brought to my attention and it is dated yesterday! Not sure about the source, but, this says coins...Next week... A statement by the bank said that it would introduce large quantities of small categories to meet the need for daily transactions. The quality of the material used has been improved, as well as a small change in the new format that will be presented for trading next week.

10-5-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan They are clearly telling us that they are bringing in the new currency, they even tell us they spent a small fortune in doing so!! The only thing they haven't showed us yet is the New Small Currency and Coins...Notice, I said, "Yet". ...Who is to say, they haven't shown the citizens the new notes and coins today in the Mosques? Maybe we just have to wait for them to show us...? The possibilities are interesting.. The facts are fascinating.. ~ Imo [post 3 of 3]
10-5-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan So we know they told us that on 09/11/2018 they were going to introduce the lower notes next month, then 09/26/2018 they tell us they are going to do same within two weeks and then yesterday, they are telling us next week. That is from the CBI. Today they tell us they are deleting the zeros, yet they wrote that 2 days ago.. The CBI wants a suitable environment. Well today we have Abadi as Prime Minister all the while Mahdi seats his cabinet, effectively two PMs, that are imo a suitable environment for the CBI and the world. It is obvious for that imo, as they have lifted sanctions and released massive amounts of assets, not only from the UNSC, HM Treasury but the EU as well... So the calls for next year are not being broadcast-ed imo. [post 2 of 3....stay tuned]
10-5-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan The data we have been provided by Delta, Teams, etc., showed that the CBI spent money in the past for printing new currency, then again they increased that amount to $108 million real close of recent. The largest portion of cost for currency is minting coins. To think they are only going to introduce just 250s, 500s and 1,000s is imo way off. They told us months ago they had a liquidity issue and they told us they were ceasing multi currency practices too. Therefore, trying to function at a program rate for any length of time is plain silly (imo) with those. They talk of new currency and they mean it being brand new. The 250, 500, 1000 are not new, the ones they reprinted to go side by side however are, with updates to them and even deletions to be noted. The 1, 5, 10, 20, 100, etc., notes are to be new, as will be the coins. [post 1 of 3....stay tuned]

10-5-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni New replacement dinar notes begin circulation next week.
10-5-2018 Intel Guru Bruce What is interesting about that is if they do come out Saturday or Sunday which we think they will...they will be also trading their dinar on their market Sunday night... We also believe the ISX will be trading, and the dinar will be tradable on the ISX but also it will be tradable on the NASDAQ in the US on Monday morning. We should have visibility more with Iraq and the dinar as the result of what they will be doing over the weekend whether it is Saturday or Sunday. ...It is looking good for the next few days... I am encouraged. I am excited. I feel good where we are... [post 2 of 2]
10-5-2018 Intel Guru Bruce [via Pinkroses] Just when it was safe to close the door on Iraq, something else comes out. Today we got information from Sulaymaniyah, one of our sources there, that Iraq is going to have their lower denominations not only at the ATMs. These are the lower ones the 10s, 20s...the lower denoms and they will be everywhere. They will be in the stores, the banks, the ATMs. They supposed to bring them out either Saturday or Sunday. Sunday is the first day of their business week...It is a very good sign that they are saying to the world...hey we have revalued. This is our new rate, and we have the new lower denoms to go to. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
10-5-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch New small denominations of the same currency are not what I'm looking for. Rather, I'm looking for something quite different. Perhaps they are just getting the public accustomed to the idea of new currency issues. New artwork and such.
10-5-2018 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan ...There is nothing that suggests outside of next week.. They clearly are reiterating there intentions to bring in the new [currency ?] next week. Abadi is PM now while and through the end of seating the Cabinet... The environment is stable and secure now and will be... Thus, the Independence of the CBI can roll out the new when appropriate, and there words are next week and that is their words not mine, or even any speculation about it what so ever. ...You don't bring in small currency with out a rate change... That is imo a reality..

10-4-2018 *** Dinar Guru NewsFlash *** It's official, late yesterday afternoon, Iraqi parliament elected Barham Salih as Iraq's next President. Salih quickly appointed Adil Abdul Mahdi as Prime Minister of Iraq. This was done FIFTEEN DAY EARLY! Now, under Iraqi's constitutional rules, Mahdi has 30 days to present the next Government of Iraq for parliament approval. Once approved, Mahdi will officially be the next Prime Minister of Iraq and the government will be seated. Several guru camps have described Mahdi as pro-economic reform. He as an economic background and is the former Oil Minister. This is all very exciting...stay tuned as the gurus continue to chime in about what Mahdi's impact might be on a possible dinar RV and/or rate change! The latest guru post will continue below...
10-4-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 CBI releasing new lower notes next week for trading to stop the liquidity crisis...doesn't need a rate change even though we would like one but the small notes/coins need a rate change cause they would have negative value...so expect the new 1000, 500, and maybe 250 next week
10-4-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Starting next week the CBI will start pumping replacement notes into the market for those that have been damaged over the years. Many new features. ...Nothing more than replacement, not the beginning of some RV or RI lol. Not how it's going to happen. The sheer fact that they're doing this should prove to you that there is no overnight event. If and when the dinar starts to rise it could take one to three years to get equal to a dollar. It is totally related to how fast investment comes into the country. Providing replacement notes for the citizens is always a good thing.
10-4-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Sources are reporting that Prime Minister-Designate Abdul Mahdi will announce his cabinet members at the next Parliament session on Tuesday, adding that if not on Tuesday, then it will be announced on Thursday. This cabinet will replace PM Abadi's cabinet, who appears to be in full cooperation with the change of power. Iraqi TV reports the CBI announcing the placement of large quantities of the smaller notes in circulation next week to meet the needs of daily transactions. The 1,000 dinar note resurfaces as tattered 250's and 500's are being replaced with new currency. There is speculation that even smaller currency will be introduced next week also...TIME WILL TELL...

This is part of the “deliberate steps” the CBI is talking about...when they delayed the project to delete the zeros in April. We can now witness also the STABILITY of the government has come and this election saga is finally over. ...Will they decide to continue the project to delete the zeros and pick up where they left off in April? I believe they will. We know that this initiative in this article is part of the...redenomination process. So this is VERY good news for us. This initiative will coincide with getting off the currency auctions... This too is one of the issues in supporting the go ahead by the CBI to let the project to delete the zeros get into full swing.
10-4-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 Mahdi is loved by the citizens and everyone in Iraq...Not committed to any political bloc...supports economic and monetary reforms, HCL for citizens, give citizens more purchasing power...wrote many report including his opposition to the auctions. Mahdi has 30 days to form his government...Mahdi supports the lifting of the 3 o's and will bust-open the reforms. Mahdi as PM will enhance security and stability and a suitable environment to allow all all economic and monetary reforms to continue. PM Abadi is still in charge of the government until Mahdi puts together his government in 30 days...let the dust settle. The most important thing to remember is to seat the government, not who is the PM. [post 2 of 2]
10-4-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [via Manaolana3] Synopsis: Announcement made Mahdi as next PM; question whether his acceptance is constitutional; BUT it's not over yet (announcement took Frank and Teams by surprise). USA supports Mahdi and is being congratulated by many including ME countries, Amb Silliman, State Dept Rep McGurk,and others. USA gave list of technocrats to Mahdi; will rid of Iranian influence in Iraq, but most important seating of the government of Iraq. Mahdi is recognized by all parties due to his history, whereas, Abadi is not. Mahdi is a bridge, a conduit to the GOI, but is not from the large bloc; may have issues, and if there is opposition, may walk. Madhi has the support of Sistani; supports Sistani's plans/reforms, is a settlement candidate... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
1-4-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana [How is the political map looking now that Barham Saleh has been announced as the President?] I don't see anything wrong with this pick. In fact, his immediate announcement of a choice in PM says a lot about how we can expect things to change. This is possibly even better than Abadi remaining PM... the status quo is due for a shakeup, and a "fresh face" can certainly do that now. Looking forward to the coming days!
10-4-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat So I told everyone...that come this next constitutional deadline of Oct 2nd the flood gates would probably open wide with news and this election saga would wind down. So...October 2nd, we witnessed finally the election of the new president and he announced his candidate for prime minister minutes after these formalities were over based on the provisions of Article 76 Constitution. Now this candidate has to go before the parliament to be ratified and this should be more of formality than anything else. Article quote: "Douglas Silliman, the US ambassador to Iraq congratulated Mahdi and wished him the best of success to as he starts to form the new government of Iraq. The USA will work with the future PM to help his government meet the needs and aspirations of all the people of Iraq." So it appears that the USA does accept and will support this new prime minister Mahdi. This is very good for us.

10-3-2018 Intel Guru Delta FYI ...ABADI'S GOV IS STILL IN CHARGE...UNTIL THE NEW GOV GET CONFIRM BY PARLIAMENT...MAHDI IS WELL RESPECTED AMONG ALL IN IRAQ...BRILLIANT MOVE BY US AND ABADI.... NOTHING MATTER ANYMORE...CBI 2 WEEKS ALMOST OVER...
10-3-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni As stated a month ago, once the new government is formed the IMF will schedule its Article IV Consultation with Iraq and CBI. Need signed commitments. This new government when complete is very pro reform so we should expect parliament to begin immediately passing laws. Prime Minister designate Adil Abd al-Mahdi is very aware of currency reform. He wrote about several years ago describing the process. It is my guess that once the new government is formed that engaging Iraqi banks with the world financial system would be a top priority as well as begin currency reform.
10-3-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch My take on this isn't "whether" it will happen, although I believe it will, or even "when" it will happen, although I believe it's soon. It's more about "how" I believe it can happen in a controlled self-managing manner that utilizes the natural inclinations of people to gravitate towards the advantageous position in their daily lives, as well as the "why" it will work on a macro scale. It's also about how they have been manipulating certain numbers to prepare for this in ways that may not be immediately apparent or obvious. Looking for an immediate benefit to the Iraqi citizens (they won't even want dollars at that point, let alone be requested to turn them in), and a fairly rapid positive tightening of the international exchange rates with the IQD.
10-3-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana For the last few months, we've been in a holding pattern. We know what's coming, and it has been obvious that progress was being made, but let's be honest... it was a lonnnnng, slowwwww couple months waiting for SOMETHING to pop. As of yesterday, that slow moving train gave it's first puff of black smoke and the wheels made the first turn...this giant piece of history began inching forward, and we have some actual news...Iraq has a new president...Barham Salih. What's more, and this happened lightning fast... President Barham Salih has named Abdul Mahdi as Prime Minister...New Iraqi President Barham Salih had 15 days to name the new PM, but he did not wait. He did it immediately. There are obviously plans being set into motion, that were organized well in advance of this announcement. This is breaking news at this time, so the situation is fluid... but this was a major milestone, and we're hearing the train start to chug. CHOOO CHOOOOO!!! Let's go, Iraq!
10-3-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Arthur From what I'm getting from the sandbox the whole Mahdi for PM was done to appease Maliki and his Iranian backed goons...keeping them from continuing to throw political monkey wrenches into the process. As far as dinarland is concerned, knowing that GOI + HCL = RV, we don't care of Daffy Duck is the President and Bugs Bunny is the Prime Minister so long as we get a stable GOI. Remember CBI Governor Ali Mohsen Ismail Al-Alaq has told us a stable environments what is needed to officially initiate the deletion of the zeros project. We also know they are about to flood the country with lower denominations that must have a new value to be utilized by the citizens. IMO, once we can officially confirm QI Card payments to all citizens from the oil revenues as promised (HCL), whatever it is we have been waiting on all these years will have began.
10-3-2018 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] I can tell you as of today Iraq is done of what it is they said they do...They had elected a new President. His name is Saleh...Even know though you may be reading Abdul-Mahdi is the new Prime Minister, I can tell you that Abadi is still going to be the Prime Minister for the next two years. I believe that is what I have been told by people in Iraq, and that seems to be what I trust at this time. He will be Prime Minister for a couple more years...The other thing...Iraq was supposed to do what they needed to do with the CBI. I have not heard a report of that, and personally I don’t think we will see it here yet, but supposedly they have gotten their CBI put together where sensibly there be a rate and they would be complete. ...Everything is pointing toward a release that should be this week...I am excited where we are.
10-3-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [via future] ...." WE DO NOT CARE WHO THE PM IS...ALL MY TEAMS WANT TO SEE IS THE SITTING OF THE GOI." THEN TODAY CAME ALONG...TA DA...YOU NOW WILL SEE THIS GOI ANNOUNCE ITSELF...AND IT WILL NOT TAKE THE FULL 30 DAYS THEY ARE PERMITTED TO USE. AND THEN...IMO...WE WILL NOW SEE THE LD'S COME TO REPLACE THE OLD AND WORN OUT CURRENCY... SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE RELEASE OF THE SMALL CURRENCY CATEGORY NOTES THAT THE CBI TOLD US WOULD COME OUT IN THIS MONTH OF OCTOBER ACCOMPANIED BY A LIFTING OF THE 3 ZEROS FROM THEIR EXCHANGE RATE. AS I SAID...I DID NOT CARE WHO THE PM WAS...NOR DID THE CBI. BUT I SURE DO CARE ABOUT WHAT THE CBI IS NOW...PREPARED...TO DO. WHY? BECAUSE...

10-3-2018 Newshound Guru Currency365 New President...Barham Salih appoints Adel Abdul Mahdi as the NEW PRIME MINISTER of IRAQ...
10-3-2018 Intel Guru ADMINBILL ...I ask that you all put the info you receive in a pot on the stove and turn the burner up. In the past the burner was set to low heat so the stew never was ready to eat. In the past few months the flame has been turned up higher each week. We are nearing a point when a delicious stew will be ready to eat. Don't discount the information you are hearing but note that bankers, etc have been ready for months with rates on the screens, etc...
10-3-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni As stated a month ago, once the new government is formed the IMF will schedule its Article IV Consultation with Iraq and CBI. Need signed commitments. This new government when complete is very pro reform so we should expect parliament to begin immediately passing laws. Prime Minister designate Adil Abd al-Mahdi is very aware of currency reform. He wrote about several years ago describing the process. It is my guess that once the new government is formed that engaging Iraqi banks with the world financial system would be a top priority as well as begin currency reform.
10-3-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch My take on this isn't "whether" it will happen, although I believe it will, or even "when" it will happen, although I believe it's soon. It's more about "how" I believe it can happen in a controlled self-managing manner that utilizes the natural inclinations of people to gravitate towards the advantageous position in their daily lives, as well as the "why" it will work on a macro scale. It's also about how they have been manipulating certain numbers to prepare for this in ways that may not be immediately apparent or obvious. Looking for an immediate benefit to the Iraqi citizens (they won't even want dollars at that point, let alone be requested to turn them in), and a fairly rapid positive tightening of the international exchange rates with the IQD.
10-3-2018 Newshound Guru Adam Montana For the last few months, we've been in a holding pattern. We know what's coming, and it has been obvious that progress was being made, but let's be honest... it was a lonnnnng, slowwwww couple months waiting for SOMETHING to pop. As of yesterday, that slow moving train gave it's first puff of black smoke and the wheels made the first turn...this giant piece of history began inching forward, and we have some actual news...Iraq has a new president...Barham Salih. What's more, and this happened lightning fast... President Barham Salih has named Abdul Mahdi as Prime Minister...New Iraqi President Barham Salih had 15 days to name the new PM, but he did not wait. He did it immediately. There are obviously plans being set into motion, that were organized well in advance of this announcement. This is breaking news at this time, so the situation is fluid... but this was a major milestone, and we're hearing the train start to chug. CHOOO CHOOOOO!!! Let's go, Iraq!
10-3-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Arthur From what I'm getting from the sandbox the whole Mahdi for PM was done to appease Maliki and his Iranian backed goons...keeping them from continuing to throw political monkey wrenches into the process. As far as dinarland is concerned, knowing that GOI + HCL = RV, we don't care of Daffy Duck is the President and Bugs Bunny is the Prime Minister so long as we get a stable GOI. Remember CBI Governor Ali Mohsen Ismail Al-Alaq has told us a stable environments what is needed to officially initiate the deletion of the zeros project. We also know they are about to flood the country with lower denominations that must have a new value to be utilized by the citizens. IMO, once we can officially confirm QI Card payments to all citizens from the oil revenues as promised (HCL), whatever it is we have been waiting on all these years will have began.
10-3-2018 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] I can tell you as of today Iraq is done of what it is they said they do...They had elected a new President. His name is Saleh...Even know though you may be reading Abdul-Mahdi is the new Prime Minister, I can tell you that Abadi is still going to be the Prime Minister for the next two years. I believe that is what I have been told by people in Iraq, and that seems to be what I trust at this time. He will be Prime Minister for a couple more years...The other thing...Iraq was supposed to do what they needed to do with the CBI. I have not heard a report of that, and personally I don’t think we will see it here yet, but supposedly they have gotten their CBI put together where sensibly there be a rate and they would be complete. ...Everything is pointing toward a release that should be this week...I am excited where we are.
10-3-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 [via future] ...." WE DO NOT CARE WHO THE PM IS...ALL MY TEAMS WANT TO SEE IS THE SITTING OF THE GOI." THEN TODAY CAME ALONG...TA DA...YOU NOW WILL SEE THIS GOI ANNOUNCE ITSELF...AND IT WILL NOT TAKE THE FULL 30 DAYS THEY ARE PERMITTED TO USE. AND THEN...IMO...WE WILL NOW SEE THE LD'S COME TO REPLACE THE OLD AND WORN OUT CURRENCY... SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE RELEASE OF THE SMALL CURRENCY CATEGORY NOTES THAT THE CBI TOLD US WOULD COME OUT IN THIS MONTH OF OCTOBER ACCOMPANIED BY A LIFTING OF THE 3 ZEROS FROM THEIR EXCHANGE RATE. AS I SAID...I DID NOT CARE WHO THE PM WAS...NOR DID THE CBI. BUT I SURE DO CARE ABOUT WHAT THE CBI IS NOW...PREPARED...TO DO. WHY? BECAUSE... IMO...THIS SITTING WAS / IS...THE FINAL SUITABLE ENVIRONMENT!!!

10-1-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The only way the dinar can appreciate in value is if the CBI floats the currency to counter inflationary pressure created by an influx of investment/investors. Even then it will take time. I am still very hopeful that banking reforms will begin this year. Though it is contingent on the formation of the new GOI, passing laws.
10-1-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Remember we are waiting for the “reinstatement” of the dinar first and as a result of this process they will have to raise the rate when they re-peg the dinar to the SDR basket from a sole de -facto peg to the US dollar, thus many call this an RV or revaluation. ...many just think it going to pop out at the banks with a new rate...Folks for the use of the term “international” currency it must be accompanied with a “formal” and “official” reinstatement.

10-2-2018 Newshound Guru Bloodloch [Can you share in your opinion, does this thing end in 2018 or are you looking at 2019.] I'm expecting it to happen when they generally and broadly start releasing the new smaller denominations, which some have reported could begin this month (October), but likely not before the full government, including the Prime Minister, is seated.
10-2-2018 Newshound Guru Walkingstick ...In reality, they now have a Speaker of the house who's seating is in violation of their constitution ... A President of the Republic, who's seating is not in violation but breaks the customary role of revolving between the Kurdish parties... A prime Minister, nominee (Mahdi)... a clear violation, not coming from the largest bloc... Brought of out retirement as a "settlement candidate".. One that, the majority now supports...In closing, if.. Mahdi were to form a government... He has always been a staunch supporter of the monetary/ economic reform.. bringing the dinar to the regional and international level, ceasing the auctions and the distribution of oil proceeds to the people ...
10-2-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni So its official...a new president of the Republic of Iraq...Barham Saleh. By the way the choices so far for president of parliament and president of the Republic of Iraq are pro economic reform. If Madhi gets in as prime minister we should see reforms start very soon including currency reform.

10-2-2018 Newshound /Intel Guru Mnt Goat The banks are now brokering the dinar (buying and selling) it just as the online internet brokers are that you may have ordered it from. Why not since there is lots of money to be made and the banks deal with currencies and like to make money...They are NOT trading the dinar...There is a difference between selling and buying as a broker from trading it. If the banks were trading the dinar it would be sold on the currency exchanges too. It is NOT. The banks can not legally trade the dinar until it is reinstated as a global currency...So for a short period during the ISIS war in Iraq, they US treasury asked that they banks do not sell or buy this currency since they were afraid it could be used to fund terrorism once again. We even witnessed in late 2015 that the CBI wanted to reinstate the dinar but again it was denied due to the ongoing war with ISIS. They told us it would happen in “EARLY 2017” but again the war was not yet over until LATE 2017. Then in 2018, came the election saga and here we stand still waiting.

9-30-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Sunday - Kurds did not yet agree on a candidate-select for president and dislike that Baghdad is making their decision for them. They left the meeting referencing unconstitutional activity and will not attend any Parliament meetings due to that fact. Without the Kurds, a quorum cannot be established to have official votes passed and they want the Federal Court to intervene. The saga between the Kurds and Baghdad continues. [post 2 of 2]
9-30-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 Saturday - A bank source reported rates on ...The dinar...flashing from 3.71 up to 4.81 and then graying out. They expect final rates the first week of October if all continues as informed. Iraq TV reported an agreement from members of Parliament blacklisting anyone who participated in the Kurdistan referendum from holding the title of President and not inviting them to take part in Parliament. Kurds were told they have two days to select a candidate to represent them as their President or Saleh would be appointed. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

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.

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.

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.

9-28-2018 Intel Guru Bruce [via Pinkroses] I said we are at the point now where we are not having to look at Iraq to complete something before we go. However we did hear from Sulaymaniyah, Iraq today, and we heard that all the official notifications with Iraq with their Prime Ministership of Abadi will actually take sort of a role of more powers if you will. More things have been given to him as Prime Minister than are typical...That position and everything having to do with their new Parliament all of that along with CBI, everything we been looking for will be done on Monday, Iraq time...It is all good, but they are so far along that we know what is going on.

9-28-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling Article: “the Feds decision to raise interest rates will raise the value of the dollar at the expense of the dinar. This will adversely effect the economy of Iraq unless Iraq’s Central Bank accelerates the measures to protect the dinar…” So how do you do that? Well you raise the value of the dinar and you keep up with the interest rates of the US Dollar. What do you have to do to raise the value of the dinar? You start taking more dinar off the market. Or if its already off the market, start adding value…Again, another door of opportunity for the value to be changed. And why do they want the value to be changed? Why do they want the value to go up? …they want Iraqi citizens to do business around the world. That’s why they’ve been doing deals and all that stuff with these international entities, organizations, institutions…it’s all there. Black and white. It’s right there. it’s all in front of you…
9-28-2018 Intel Guru Frank26 Okay, something happened with the BIS. Something happened with the WTO. Something happened with the CBI.

We don’t want the American Dollar....we’re removing it.” ...we’re gonna ...start...paying our citizens...salary, electronically...and only with the Iraqi Dinar.” “And also, we’re doing some other things with only the Iraqi dinar.” ...We don’t want to use the American Dollar. We’re removing it. Now do you understand what that is? With the MCPs the auctions? Well, you should be jumping for joy! A relationship between the American Dollar and the IQD will develop and, but it will be in a basket. It won’t be in an auction of the CBI. The auctions are in wonderful position, right now, at this moment, for a reinstatement of the Iraqi

However we did hear from Sulaymaniyah, Iraq today, and we heard that all the official notifications with Iraq with their Prime Ministership of Abadi will actually take sort of a role of more powers if you will. More things have been given to him as Prime Minister than are typical...That position and everything having to do with their new Parliament all of that along with CBI, everything we been looking for will be done on Monday, Iraq time...It is all good, but they are so far along that we know what is going on. We know it is done. We are not really waiting on them as we were in the past. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
9-28-2018 Newshound Guru Breitling Article: “the Feds decision to raise interest rates will raise the value of the dollar at the expense of the dinar.

Did you notice all of the sudden a few days ago, the CBI comes out and they says “...We’re just going to push the American Dollar away. We don’t want the American Dollar....we’re removing it.” ...we’re gonna ...start...paying our citizens...salary, electronically...and only with the Iraqi Dinar.” “And also, we’re doing some other things with only the Iraqi dinar.” ...We don’t want to use the American Dollar. We’re removing it. Now do you understand what that is? With the MCPs the auctions? Well, you should be jumping for joy! A relationship between the American Dollar and the IQD will develop and, but it will be in a basket. It won’t be in an auction of the CBI. The auctions are in wonderful position, right now, at this moment, for a reinstatement of the Iraqi
