Patty Deano Thank you. https://www.exchangerates.org.uk/Iraqi-Dinar-IQD-currency-table-html But the rates "freeze" every weekend on this site, so if they actually do something this weekend would be perfect...well, first Awalli, they MPs, then budget, etc.
Deano Look at it like this as well. When you buy Christmas gifts for family members, do you go ahead and tell them what's wrapped up???

chattels Iraqi lawmakers confirm that Allawi's booth will be completed and unveiled next Sunday
https://www.rudaw.net/arabic/middleeast/iraq/1302202012
chattels Parliamentarians revealed in press statements, that they received invitations to attend a parliamentary session, next Sunday, where Allawi will announce his cabinet, in his cabinet for the Iraqi government, after being seen by President Barham Saleh.
chattels Iraq’s establishment parties must back Allawi’s new cabinet https://www.rudaw.net/english/opinion/13022020
Sam I Am chattels Do you believe that there will be an RV?
chattels Sam I Am Depends upon how you define " RV "?
chattels According to insider sources, Allawi is now finalizing his cabinet nominations. However, very little is known about who will be appointed to which ministry or how they were selected.
One thing that appears certain is Allawi’s intention to overhaul the entire cabinet. It is also understood Allawi has been given a free hand to pick his ministers without pressure from Iraq’s powerful political blocs.
Sam I Am chattels I mean the CBI raising the value to $1 or even a dime
chattels The foregoing article is one of the more positive I have read regarding Allawi's prospects of forming a government.
chattels Sam I Am I invested with the thought that a dime would be an excellent return. I just hope that I do not lose it all at this point.
chattels Sam I Am I have suspected for some time that a lop was a real possibility and I hope for some increase in value contemporaneous to it.
chattels Sam I Am But, my thoughts and opinions are not favored here or elsewhere.
Sam I Am chattels I know the feeling
chattels Sam I Am I have noticed :).
Sam I Am chattels are you affiliated with any guru?
chattels Sam I Am I had some trust and association with BGG for a time, but not any more as to him or anyone.
Sam I Am ok
chattels I believe that sandyf and Kap have some insights, but I do not profess to know the outcome of all this and I am skeptical of anyone who claims to know.
Zig chattels : Years ago were you on some conference calls with BGG?
chattels Sam I Am Are you as jaded as you seem to be or do you allow for the possibility of a return on investment in some degree ?
chattels Zig I was.
chattels Zig I did much of the research on Iraqi news there for over a year.
Sam I Am chattels I'm jaded I guess. I see no possibility of any substantial return
Zig chattels : Yes, I remember that...
chattels Sam I Am Hard to argue or condemn you for it. I just hope to get lucky. I am heavily invested.
chattels I am prepared for this to be a multi-generational event.
chattels Munich Security Conference: ISIS poses ‘continued threat’ says PM Barzani https://www.rudaw.net/english/world
Sam I Am chattels I would recommend the old adage that you shouldn't invest any more than you can afford to lose
chattels Sam I Am I quit buying some years ago. I have what I have and I am prepared to lose it. Not happily, but the kind of potential for reward in this does not come without a high risk.
Sam I Am chattels I had 8 million in 2010
chattels Sam I Am I appreciate your concern for me and others. I have never advised anyone to buy or sell.
chattels Sam I Am I and my immediate family hold about 60 million.
Sam I Am OUCH
Sam I Am chattels I say this with all respect, you are over invested
chattels Sam I Am So, i am a bit impatient when I am attacked in here as being negative. I prefer realism.
Sam I Am chattels I'll Zip it now :censor:
chattels Sam I Am We shall see.
chattels Sam I Am If it increases in value to a penny or two then one needs a lot to make a good lick.
Baxter Chattels... thats the way I figured it as well... a dime would be exhorbitant
Sam I Am chattels That was my logic. I never thought it would hit $1. I figured a dime so I bout 8 mil
Sam I Am But then I learned how currency valuation works and I sold all but 140K
chattels I invested in the hope of getting lucky. I have never claimed to be smart.
chattels Sam I Am I am a big boy. I will live with the consequences of my decision(s).
Sam I Am chattels okie dokie
chattels Sam I Am Again, I appreciate your concern for me and others.

chattels Allawi's mission in forming the government is a difficult, if not impossible, task
Thursday 13, February 2020 https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=812428
chattels Architecture / NINA / Former Member of Parliament Mohamed Saadoun Al-Shyoud saw that the task of the Prime Minister-designate in forming the government is a difficult one, if not impossible, in light of the political blocs ’adherence to partisan, sectarian, and visual quotas.
Sam I Am chattels Your Welcome
chattels Time for Tucker Carlson. Be back later.
Zig That was one of the best conversations I have ever seen in here...for many reasons... :)
Matt Market Prices Down some today see numbers here https://www.iqdcalls.com/Markets.html
Wheresmyrv? Zig I agree, kudos to chattels and Sam for having a good conversation here
TWWIII Zig I applaud both Chattels & Sam I am for such a great conversion, thanx guys
chattels Muhammad Al-Khaldifi, said earlier, that “the ministerial cabinet of the prime minister-designate is ready, adding that“ Allawi will inform the president and the resigned prime minister and ask the parliament to hold an emergency session for the purpose of voting on the ministerial cabinet. ”
http://www.alliraqnews.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=86737
chattels We may know whether Allawi has a viable government as early as Sunday.
chattels Fresh currency fears loom over Turkey
Read more: https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2020/02/turkey-fresh-currency-fears-loom-over-turkish-economy.html#ixzz6Dtoj6C3V
chattels Currency manipulation strikes me as very complex and is hardly intuitive.
chattels ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Iraqi women joined anti-government activists in Baghdad’s Tahrir Square on Thursday to demand equality and reject Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s demand for gender segregation of protesters. https://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/130220202
chattels Sadr attacked the all-female march on Twitter, calling it sinful, immoral and licentious and against Iraqi values, likening it to religious extremism.
chattels Unlikely that Sadr will end up on the " right " side of history in all of this, eh ?
Kaperoni Hello
Kaperoni Here is a question from 13 Feb 20, 04:33 PM Young_SC Where do you get 48 trillion dollars to cover that budget that is about to come out??
Kaperoni The budget is not 48 trillion, it is over 148 trillion!
Kaperoni The way they are trying to accomplish this is about $100 trillion is the (regular amount each year) from oil sales and the additional 48 trillion is part of a new public/private partnership which was designed to kick off the private sector and rebuild the infrastructure.
There are several articles on this concept from last July-Nov or so that came out. It is not a RV or any other guru nonsense, just a plan to bring investors into Iraq to rebuild and have it financed/coordinated with the help of the GOI.
This is risky of course and recent talk is to modify this budget before it is passed as a result of the protests, delays to next year. Time will tell what they decide to do. But the idea was good at the time.
chattels Kaperoni good evening
Kaperoni Hi chattels
Kaperoni I will go back and try to find the article describing this partnership but may take a while.
chattels Kaperoni I recall it generally and as we know, unless and until the budget is passed into law, Iraq is treading water with the payment of salary and wages.
Kaperoni probably going to be a revised budget anyway, which will upset many
chattels Haven't heard a word about Kurdistan sending any oil to Baghdad. Waiting for that to blow up again.
Kaperoni I think they did
Kaperoni not certain but read something last week
chattels The budget agreement, again, which the Kurds say they can / will abide by this year, has been on hold with the government transition from what I have read, but ......................
Kaperoni wouldnt be surprised
chattels I did read some encouraging news about the Kurds and Sunnis moderating their constitutional and quota positions in the new government.
chattels Representatives told the " Nina " reporter , "The formation of the interim government that Allawi will present will include 23 ministerial portfolios instead of the 15 portfolios Allawi had previously proposed on the first day of his assignment." https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=812380
chattels Baghdad / Nina / The political blocs have informed their representatives in the House of Representatives that the Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Allawi is in the process of offering the names of several candidates to each ministerial portfolio in the formation of the interim government, to ensure that the vote is as far as possible to give confidence to his incomplete cabin yet. https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=812367
Kaperoni We will see. its all talk at this point and we will see if they vote to approve him and his cabinet
Kaperoni I have my doubt since he and Maliki do not get along
