What Is Nasdaq?
Nasdaq is a global electronic marketplace for buying and selling securities. Its name was originally an acronym for "National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations"—Nasdaq started as a subsidiary of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), now known as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Nasdaq was launched after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) urged NASD to automate the market for securities not listed on an exchange. The result was the first electronic trading system. Nasdaq opened for business on Feb. 8, 1971.1

KandG: It looks like the ISX today is another date that meant nothing. Us newbies really have to quit hanging our hat on a date as the "ole" timers are well seasoned to this roller coaster.
The Snod: Most dates have proven fluid, yet the activity we are witnessing is very, very significant. Particularly, the de-dollarization we are seeing. That is fantastic for us…imo
Blazedesboy: On top of what's stated above, most are missing ISX going international makes the IQD a convertible currency; rate/project to delete zero's will follow soon

Mnt Goat ...Banks don’t get notified, get it! This would be called “insider trading”. The US Treasury is not going to notify the banks prior to a rate change of any of the currencies. Yes, the QMF does show a new rate for the IQD and it was $3.80 last time I checked. But this does not mean this is the rate they will necessarily show on FOREX. ...
Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: This new app the CBI is now talking about, why do all that to check the status of the exchange rate if nothing is going to change the rate? This is huge deal to tell us we can access from our phone. We know the rate is changing and that's why they want us to look and constantly be aware because the moment it changes we are to run to the banks. FRANK: ...It's stupid for them to tell you to look at the exchange rate in your app when you know damn well the exchange rate is killing you...Why are they telling you to do this? It's to prepare you...this is all part of the monetary reform education. It is marching forward...
