Zig’s Place Chatroom News Late Thursday Night 4-14-22

Zig: Welcome to Zig's Place, a chat room for dinar speculators and others....discuss any topic that you wish

Zig:   Member TWW's account of his experience with the Kuwaiti Dinar:... TWWlll:... "I was learning to trade currencies in the 70's...I was working in Riyadh in 1989 for a developer, and Amed, my boss, was telling me of a 'rumor' that Kuwait was planning to 'adjust' their currency... Remember, Iraq was attacking Kuwait's oil wells...

Well with the help of USA & international assistance, adjustments were about to take place... I never heard the RV by name, just an 'adjustment'... Their currency at that time was .05... While there I bought quite a bit of their currency, quite a bit in Riyadh... I was back in Honolulu around March when my currency broker from the past called me at home, and mentioned that Kuwait's currency adjusted to a higher value, 3.47 USD...

I called my bank, Bank of Hawaii, and they confirmed... So I went with my bills and cashed them in... I had to show my passport with the date when I was in Egypt... it was my former boss in SA that called about their RI/adjustment then I went through his broker... It went from 0.05 to 3.47 USD... It was just an exchange, no tax. ... There is more to the story but this should give you enough to share at this point... It did happen no matter what the so-called Gurus are telling you."

wdave1   Dave Most people I know that got involved with this brought other people along for the ride or at least tried to.

Sheila   Zig Thank you for reposting TWW's experience.

Butterfly   2022-04-14 11:21   Shafaq News/ The U.S. dollar (USD) closed at the opening rate against the Iraqi dinar (IQD) in the markets of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, on Thursday.

Shafaq News Agency correspondent said that al-Harithiya and al-Kifah Central Exchanges traded the USD at a rate of 147,775 IQD to 100 ahead of the market closure.

In the local markets of Baghdad, the buying and selling rates settled at 148,250 and 147,250 IQD for each 100 USD, respectively. https://shafaq.com/en/Economy/USD-IQD-exchange-rate-remains-unchanged-on-Thursday-7

butterfly  Al-Maliki: Iraq seeks to make understandings with all political forces ............ https://shafaq.com/en/Iraq-News/Al-Maliki-Iraq-seeks-to-make-understandings-with-all-political-forces

NORV   butterfly I don;t see people spreading "hatred" as you call it..Just facts that people don't want to accept. Anyone can tell you what you want to hear, but that is not reality!

NORV   I can tell you for fact, that what is proposed in Iraq and being introduced and educated via symposiums throughout Iraq is a currency exchange. Whether or not the CBI accepts that proposal is yet to be seen. To me, why would they allow the citizens to be educated on such an event if that was not going to happen?

NORV   The currency exchange is a 1000 current dinar to 1 new dinar exchange beginning 2023.

NORV   I would assume that they would have to form a new government prior

NORV  I also believe they would have to officially tell the citizens via public announcement that is going to happen.

NORV   I also believe that parliament would have to vote and approve a new currency

NORV  But is fact that is what is being discussed. They are NOT talking about a RV or any other significant gain.

NORV  So we will see what happens over the next 8 months or so.

NORV   People need to come to realize a LOP is very possible.

Sah   If Iraq were to do a lop like some other countries have done, it could tend to cause high inflation in the country. I don't think they will do it. They just brought food prices down some and are trying to keep it from inflating in price again. I think the first thing they want to do is bring the value up to 1200 dinar to 1 dollar. This will help the poor people from when the government devalued it last year to pay it's employees. I am hoping that it will be better than 1200 to 1.

Sah   1 to 1 would be a good start.

Sheila   Sah welcome back

TWW   ع.د   1,200  From  IQD – Iraqi Dinar  Type to search... To  USD – US Dollar

Type to search...  1,200 Iraqi Dinars = 0.8159975 US Dollars   1 IQD = 0.000679998 USD  1 USD = 1,470.59 IQD...xe currency converter

TWW    Early flight in the am morning

Sheila   TWW sleep good TWW safe traveling

NORV   Sah Unfortunately, that is NOT what they are planning at this time. They ARE planning a new currency with a conversion of 1000 current dinar to 1 new dinar. That new dinar would open the economy to global investment, international transactions using new dinar and give them the ability to raise the value of the new dinar based on the growth and success of Iraq's economy. The initial exchange rate of the new dinar to the USD would be $0.50 according to reports. which is not a RV, in fact a loss in value considering the current dinar is worth about $0.68. Of course they is subject to the central banks approval and parliament passing legislation allowing for a new dinar. But I cannot see the purpose of these symposiums teaching citizens that have been going on since mid last year if they were not going to do it.

NORV   TWW any numbers on FOREX mean nothing since the dinar is pegged to the dollar. The rates you see simply reflect the rate of the dollar against the dinar since the dollar is floating. Until Iraq unpegs and floats themselves does this benefit us.

NORV   The documents published on this new dinar do reflect floating the dinar with a basket of Middle East currencies.

NORV   Sah I would recommend reading the presentation/report submitted to the central bank on the need for this new dinar. They cover in detail the current conditions in Iraq and how those conditions now warrant the change. You will need to translate.   https://www.iasj.net/iasj/article/216703

Sheila   Sah I believe there is so much going on here than just the revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar. I am staying the course regardless of what the NORV's in this community are posting.

NORV    sheila There can never be a significant RV of the dinar under the currency circumstances. There is well over 100 trillion dinar in circulation.

NORV   sheila You can believe whatever you want, but that is fact. Until that changes you theory of a RV is not going to happen.

NORV   People that know me know that I have been a huge proponent of Iraq building a diverse private economy away from oil. Such growth could then raise the value of the dinar gradually over time as the economy succeeds. But there appears to be no indication they are going to do that...especially since they have this new economic study and various symposiums to push for a new currency.

Sheila   @NORV Wow, you really got that copy/paste thing down pat.

NORV   I been typing not coping and pasting.

NORV   You can dream till the cows come home, but reality is reality. And the reality is Iraq is pushing for a new dinar which is a re-denomination or LOP. There is no gain.

NORV   Clearly stated in the publication the proposal is a 1000 dinar to 1 new dinar exchange. That new dinar would have an exchange rate of $0.50

NORV   in other words, you could exchange 1 million dinar for 1 thousand new dinar. They exchange it for $500 usd.

NORV   Most people I know paid over $700 per million, some as high as $900 per million so it would be a loss!

NORV   Sure Iraq could do this and eventually build a thriving economy with this new dinar, but even so, you would not see the profit you are expecting. IF the CBI were to float the dinar thereafter, it would only rise to an exchange of $2 or $3 which means your profit years from now could be 2x or 3x your initial investment.

NORV   The good news is that finally, the guru lies will end..giving people who fell for the BS and hope a chance to move forward.

Sheila   @NORV Well since you ask so nicely for all of us to "jump" - guess we should be asking you to say "how high". lol lol lol

NORV   You can bash my posts, but at least my posts are back with real documents, photos and news articles explaining what is happening in Iraq. Not one of these gurus who lie ever have any proof

Sheila   @NORV no bashing. just not going to do what you keep badgering all of us to do.

NORV   in almost 20 years invested, not one idiot guru has proven a single statement of a RV

NORV   sheila Im not tell you to do anything other than read the truth.

NORV   sheila for some reason you like to read and believe the shenanigans from the gurus over the truth
