John   Matt Bouncing Back Nicely Today.

Sandyf   @Zig Negative because he says no "overnight" riches...people get upset when anyone tells them what they don't want to hear....it's human nature......

Sandyf @LeLe Zig it's not overnight. It's been 17 years for some . So that's not overnight.

Sandyf   Zig, it is not so much as what they don't want to hear, as not understanding what they are hearing. It cannot be disputed that Kap has done the research, a great deal more than most and he is quite right in many respects. I do not agree with the 'float' theory, although possible it would never generate any significant return. Agree that there will not be any significant overnight RV, there never has been in the past, despite what many would like to believe there was never any official revaluation in Kuwait.

Sandyf   I came into this in 2004 on the basis that the IQD could rise to around 10 cents under what was then the 7 year plan. By the time of the financial crisis it was fairly obvious that was not going to happen and dinarland started going off in different directions.

Sandyf   The CBI were talking about redenomination and many took that to mean instant wealth, still a major belief today. TerryK turned up with his theories on the Zim and a GCR. People talk about the Iraq RV and then in the same breath go on about a basket of currencies, who does that make sense to?  It Displays a certain lack of understanding and the oil credit theory was nothing more than vivid imagination,but it suited Americans to believe it.

Sandyf   I have said this before, that if there is to be any return it is not going to come from Iraq but possibly some sort of financial realignment on a global basis, but even that is a long shot.

Sandyf   LeLe, you are quite right, certainly not overnight, may well have originated from the time of President Reagan.

Dave   GCR,baskets of currencies,float no float,Oakie Intel.......Seems from the recent news from Iraq that they yet remain under Ch7 sanctions, missing persons file, 4 billion owing to Kuwait etc......thought the whole thing regarding being sanctioned was to get spanked in the 1st place.? So they can go IMF... art8/globally while being sanctioned? It seems I yet missed another boat if we are going to see anything soon?

chattels   Two Katyusha rockets hit Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone on Sunday night just moments after Prime Minister-designate Mohammed Tafwiq Allawi announced he was unable to form a new government due to “political pressure”.

chattels   Following months of heightened tensions between the US and Iraq’s influential neighbour Iran, rocket attacks on US infrastructure and personnel in the Green Zone and elsewhere in Iraq have become increasingly frequent. US officials have accused Iran-backed Iraqi militias of launching the attacks.

chattels   What happened on Sunday was the last gasp of the Muhammad Tawfiq gambit. There was an abortive effort backed almost entirely by Shia factions - but only some of them - to pass a partial cabinet change & replace Abd al-Mahdi with MTA. It collapsed in late afternoon. https://twitter.com/UticaRisk

chattels   1) Prez Salih will pick the next guy since the constitution gives him absolute discretion if the first PM-designate fails.

2) I am skeptical of AAM's protestations of wanting to leave office, so I say he stays on.

3) Of course the cabinet stays on, bc how else do they get jobs.

chattels   Here is Allawi's withdrawal in video. Abd al-Mahdi was gracious enough to allow him to use the prime minister's YouTube channel to publish the video. Youtube was the closest he got to the office. https://twitter.com/hushamalhashimi/status/1234223215418990593

chattels   1) The "largest bloc" issue is now gone bc the constitution says that if the first PM-designate fails to form a govt, the president can choose anyone he wants.

2) The 15-days-to-nominate / 30-days-to-form-govt process starts over. So 45 more days.

chattels   My two favorite facts about the Muhammad Allawi experience:

1) He was living abroad (in Lebanon) when first nominated & had to fly to Baghdad for the designation.

2) He waited until the day of his putative election to begin the process of renouncing his British citizenship. https://twitter.com/UticaRisk

chattels   Baghdad / Nina / Parliamentary Bloc / Al-Sayeroun warned of difficult conditions the country will go through after Allawi’s apology for assigning him to the post of prime minister, stressing: “Any person who will be assigned in the current period by the President of the Republic will fall.” https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=815242

chattels   It appears that Abdul Mahdi's nightmare of being in the position of Prime Minister of Iraq will continue.

chattels   Bashir al-Haddad, the second deputy speaker of parliament, Muhammad al-Halbousi, on Monday called for a comprehensive national dialogue between all political forces and blocs and with the participation of representatives of the demonstration squares to emerge from the crisis of forming the new government.

chattels   "in light of the recent political developments, the worsening security, health, economic, and service problems, and the widening political differences and controversy on the Iraqi scene, especially after the withdrawal of the Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, all parties and partners should strive and prevail over the supreme national interest, and work hard In order to preserve the country and the stability of the political process to overcome this crisis and prepare for the next stage and the holding of early elections. "

chattels   "In the event of worsening conditions and the collapse of the political process and societal peace, the only loser is the Iraqi people ...................."

chattels   Pathetic dysfunction and self interest.

Sam I Am   Zig Some of us have given up on it.

Zig   Sam I Am : I'm shocked to hear that, Sam.... ;oh;

Sam I Am   no you're not

Sam I Am   But yeah, I've noticed over the past two years that the confidence in here has dwindled

Zig   To be expected   Too much hype can quickly turn into disappointment....Yup....

Sam I Am   The more abuse I get the more confident people are

Sam I Am   These days a lot of the guys are civil with me

Zig   I never have had any problems with people coming in here with different views, etc...but many people only want to hear one side...I can understand that....and of course many question the motives of anyone coming in here to burst our balloons....lol

Sam I Am   I usually only post when somebody mentions me

Zig   Even Kaperoni is considered to be "negative"....lol

Sam I Am   Because he admits the money supply is a deal breaker

LeLe   Sam I Am never give up.

Zig   Negative because he says no "overnight" riches...people get upset when anyone tells them what they don't want to hear....it's human nature......

LeLe    Zig it's not overnight. It's been 17 years for some . So that's not overnight.

Sam I Am   17 years is hard to figure    Took me a year and a half and I thought I was slow

Zig   Almost 10 for me....lol....I am growing more pessimistic though hanging in there for now.....maybe I am nuts.....lol

LeLe   Sam I Am Zig everyone has their own opinion. Rome was not built overnight.

LeLe   Zig 10 in October.

Zig   Meanwhile some Gurus are making a small fortune off of many people....

Sam I Am   I started buying in Feb. of 2010 so it would have been 10 for me

Zig   I kick myself for not starting a paid chat room years ago.....lol....oh well.......

LeLe   Sam I Am you still hold some don't you?

Sam I Am   back then the gurus were saying that we're just waiting for the election results

Sam I Am   and waiting for Parliament to be seated

Sam I Am   LeLe I've still got some lower denoms ... 100,000 or so  the 50s are worthless

LeLe   Sam I Am so you must still believe!

Sam I Am   nope

Sam I Am   I had over 8 million

Sam I Am   just not worth the hassle trying to sell LDs

LeLe   Sam I Am I didn't buy because of what someone said. I believe it'll happen.

Sam I Am   <@5203505|Why do you believe that?

 Sam I Am   LeLe Why?

LeLe   Because I read the history on Iraq

LeLe   Sam I Am Zig I spent what I could afford.

Zig   LeLe : Me too...a gamble...

LeLe   Sam I Am Zig you can't keep blaming the Guru's. We are grown   people. We should know better.

gator   Still can not understand people with so called no skin in the game coming in here and trying to convence people with their opinion. What in it for them other than just to be negative.

LeLe   gator I don't know .

Zig  LeLe : LOL....You're right....but I was very stupid when I first bought Dinar....believed everyone out there.....

LeLe   Zig that means you were weak. Lol

gator   Sam I Am no worst than any of the others, none of them know

Zig   Sam I Am : Gator makes a good point....many can't understand why someone like you bothers to come in here......

LeLe   Sam I Am evidently you spent way more than what you could afford.

LeLe   gator exactly. No one knows. Everyone is Speculating at best.

Sam I Am   Zig I just come in here to see if people have any issues to discuss. Believe it or not people still have questions and some appreciate my input. Others don't.

gator   Sam I Am so your in the category as Kap who think they know more than others

Rand   I don't like Kap's theory, but so far he has been more correct than the other gurus.

gator   Rand what has he been correct on

Rand   Hasn't happened yet.

Sam I Am   gator Not exactly. I have a track record. I started my blog in Sept. 2011 and called out the BH Group before they were arrested. I called out TerryK before he was arrested. I called out Dinar Corp before Sam Tayeh was arrested. I've said for 8 years that nobody is going to get rich from owning dinar. So far I've been right.

gator   Rand every guru is correct on that

Sam I Am   I also predicted that the money supply would go up and it has

Sam I Am   because that's their policy

gator   Sam I Am so far means nothing, as you like others don't know a date of if

Rand   The other gurus keep saying it is happening now.

LeLe   Sam I Am guru's background has nothing to do with Iraq!

Sam I Am   So I have helped the dinar community to learn that the gurus they followed were in facts frauds and criminals

Sam I Am   LeLe True, but it does help one to rethink the investment like I did

Baxter   and then.... theres Dan Atkins... snake salesman and his infamous... Dr. Todd...

Sam I Am   Once you realize that the gurus are ** you have to consider that maybe the dinar "investment" is a scam

Baxter   Sam I Am... you know about him...??

LeLe   Sam I Am that doesn't mean the Dinar is not going to change. I don't spend my precious time worrying about what a guru says. Everyone always talk about the guru's and the listen to all their calls. What a bunch of hypocrites?

Sam I Am   Anyway, no ... I'm not like Kap. He has gone from pumping the RV to pumping the float. I was never a guru. I have always been on this side since I became Sam I Am.

LeLe   Baxter this is not a perfect World.

gator   Sam I Am wrong, only if you believe the gurus. Doesn't make the dinar a scam.

Baxter   LeLe... not hardly

Sam I Am  Baxter Yeah, he started out as Checkmate ... former MLM guy

Baxter   but it would help.. if they were a little more honest

LeLe   Baxter at least Dan doesn't and I say Dan doesn't call it.

gator    Sam I Am pumping the, that's makes you like Kap then

Baxter   LeLe.... no... he doesnt...

Rand   The only one I listen to is Mr. Brando, only because he and his wife are entertaining, but still just as full of BS as the rest.

Baxter   Mr. Brando? is he still around

LeLe   Sam I Am what does that have to do with the Dinar?

Sam I Am   LeLe I was answering Baxter

Rand   Yes, Bax

Baxter   ok..thx       I didnt know

LeLe   Rand it's all for entertainment. I looked at one of his videos the other day. LMAO

Rand   Yes, he is funny most of the time, but so full of himself.

LeLe   Baxter never heard of him until the other day. I still listen to MYT. Lol

Sam I Am   LeLe Midnight Think Tank?

LeLe   Sam I Am yes.

Sam I Am   are they still around?     Dear Lord   LOL

gator   LeLe yes pure enterainment! No one know if or not, a rate, a date. All they have is an opinion.

Rand   LeLe Yes, and we know what it is.

LeLe   Sam I Am yes.

LeLe    gator that's right.

Young_SC   The latest news .. After Al-Halbousi and Allawi arrived today on the shares of the ministries, the cabinet will pass tomorrow

Young_SC   Baghdad - Iraq today:  An informed political source revealed, on Saturday, that Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi had reached a preliminary agreement with Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi to pass the ministerial team.

The source said that "Allawi met with Al-Halbousi during the past hours, where the latter presented 3 personalities to the assumption of 3 ministries in the Allawi government," noting that "Allawi agreed to this request."

The source added, "Allawi has allocated 7 ministries to the Sunni component, 3 of which will be nominated by Al-Halbousi, and 4 of them will be chosen by Allawi himself," stressing that "Al-Halbousi persuaded his deputies to vote tomorrow to pass the ministerial team."

The deputy of the Alliance of Raiders Riyad Al-Masoudi revealed in a previous statement the launch of a round of talks between Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi and the political blocs rejecting him, noting that the last hours talks will pass the Allawi government.

chattels   Finally, although the Fatah and Sairoon alliances might be able to gather enough votes for Allawi — as they did in voting for the expulsion of US troops — it will place the country on the dangerous step of further division, pushing Kurds and Sunnis to take serious action toward separation. The United States would most likely not reject such actions this time as it rejected the 2017 Kurdistan referendum.

Political turmoil continues as protesters reject the prime minister designate and political parties remain unable to overcome their differences. The United States and Iran, meanwhile, prepare to outmaneuver each other in Iraq. The question remains as to whether Allawi can overcome these challenges to form his government and appease his supporters.

Sandyf   The following document provides a good summary in respect of the foreign exchange policy of Iraq, what everyone calls the "auctions" - FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET PRESSURE INDEX AND MONETARY POLICY IN IRAQ

http://www.ekof.bg.ac.rs/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/554.pdf

"A stable exchange rate is an important objective for central banks and can be used as a monetary policy instrument to stabilize price levels. The nature and structure of the Iraqi economy, with its undeveloped financial system, makes the foreign exchange rate an important monetary policy instrument to stabilize and control economic agents’ and individuals’ inflation expectations.

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI hereafter) is working hard to monitor and stabilize the foreign exchange rate, as it is the main instrument in has to control money supply and achieve other targets where traditional monetary policy instruments are ineffective .

Since 2004 the CBI has intervened directly in the foreign exchange market using an auction window as an instrument in the open market. The auction window for selling foreign currency is the main formal channel to meet the demand for foreign currency."

sandyf   For those that are a bit confused the following should clarify matters.

"However, to assess whether the pressure is absorbed by e or by r, Girton and Roper (1977) and Connolly and Silveira (1979) suggest including a variable Q =(e-1)/(r-1) on the right-hand side of Equation (7). The variable Q can identify the method that a central bank uses to absorb pressure in the exchange market.

The central bank uses exchange rate depreciation when the coefficient of Q is significant and positive, while a significant and negative coefficient of Q implies that more pressure is absorbed by reserve losses. The central bank is not sensitive to the changes in the EMP components when the coefficient of Q is insignificant. "

chattels   A difficult translation, but it appears that it is saying that the failure of Parliament to convene a quorum and vote on the Allawi government tomorrow is not a failure of Allawi, but of the Parliament.

Sparky   Matt ...setback is a setup for a comeback...imo...

Sandyf   The following document provides a good summary in respect of the foreign exchange policy of Iraq, what everyone calls the "auctions" - FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET PRESSURE INDEX AND MONETARY POLICY IN IRAQ

http://www.ekof.bg.ac.rs/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/554.pdf

"A stable exchange rate is an important objective for central banks and can be used as a monetary policy instrument to stabilize price levels. The nature and structure of the Iraqi economy, with its undeveloped financial system, makes the foreign exchange rate an important monetary policy instrument to stabilize and control economic agents’ and individuals’ inflation expectations.

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI hereafter) is working hard to monitor and stabilize the foreign exchange rate, as it is the main instrument in has to control money supply and achieve other targets where traditional monetary policy instruments are ineffective .

Since 2004 the CBI has intervened directly in the foreign exchange market using an auction window as an instrument in the open market. The auction window for selling foreign currency is the main formal channel to meet the demand for foreign currency."

sandyf   For those that are a bit confused the following should clarify matters.

"However, to assess whether the pressure is absorbed by e or by r, Girton and Roper (1977) and Connolly and Silveira (1979) suggest including a variable Q =(e-1)/(r-1) on the right-hand side of Equation (7). The variable Q can identify the method that a central bank uses to absorb pressure in the exchange market.

The central bank uses exchange rate depreciation when the coefficient of Q is significant and positive, while a significant and negative coefficient of Q implies that more pressure is absorbed by reserve losses. The central bank is not sensitive to the changes in the EMP components when the coefficient of Q is insignificant. "

Baxter   Oil Dives Past 13-Month Low as Pandemic Fears Spread

FEB. 27, 2020  WORLD OIL NEWS   NEW YORK (Bloomberg) --Oil continued to plunge after closing at a 13-month low as more new coronavirus cases were reported outside of China, adding to fears the world is on the brink of a pandemic that will stunt economic growth.

Futures fell as much as 5.3% in New York on Thursday and headed for the worst weekly loss since 2014. Global stocks also tumbled, with the six-day slide pushing the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average indexes down by 10% from all-time highs set this month.

Germany said the virus was likely at the start of an epidemic and Saudi Arabia halted religious visits. In addition to crude, diesel has also plummeted, with heating oil futures in New York trading at the lowest since July 2017.

 “We’ve dived deeper into this well,” said Bob Iaccino, market strategist at Path Trading Partners. “Until the virus outbreak gets under control it’s going to be the driver of everything. We still don’t know the full effect on demand but it’s going to be terrible.”

U.S. data that showed a smaller-than-forecast increase in crude stockpiles failed to arrest the slide. Oil has fallen more than 24% this year as the virus hit a market already awash with supply. Investors are assessing whether the Organization for Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies will be able to agree on deeper output cuts at a meeting in Vienna next week.

Oil could fall below $30 a barrel if OPEC+ fails to agree a production cut, Standard Chartered Plc analysts Emily Ashford and Paul Horsnell wrote in a report. Russia has so far resisted pressure from Saudi Arabia for an OPEC+ agreement to cut production further as the virus hits demand

Whitelions    Officially … The Iraqi parliament decided to postpone its special session to vote on the government of Muhammad Allawi, until next Saturday.

The decision came after disputes, some of which resulted in a quarrel between Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi and his deputy, Hassan al-Kaabi, over the controversial session.

The dispute occurred between Al-Halbousi Al-Kaabi, due to the announcement of the postponement of the session on the passing of the government of Muhammad Allawi, which was rejected by Al-Kaabi and demanded that the attendance of the representatives present in the parliament session be checked.

For the government to obtain the confidence of Parliament, an absolute majority (50% +1) is required for the number of members present (not the total number).

According to Shafak News sources, only 105 deputies were present in the parliament session out of 329 deputies.

A parliamentary source told Shafak News, that the Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi called for a session of granting confidence next Saturday, while Parliament Speaker Muhammad Al-Halbousi urged that it be held on Sunday, which called Al-Halbousi to hold a meeting with all the leaders of political blocs to resolve a deadline to vote on the government .

He added that the last decision went with the holding of the extraordinary session next Saturday.

The government’s formation faces Muhammad Allawi’s rejection of the Kurds and Sunni and Shi’ite coalitions, while it has the support of the Saeron Alliance - the Sadrist movement — and the Fatah coalition headed by Hadi al-Amiri

A spokesman for the ministry, Assem Jihad, said in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency, "conscious", today, Saturday, that the ministry was interested in establishing a number of seismic teams, and they were involved in internal and external courses .

Jihad stressed that these teams are currently working with the latest technologies in this field, as some of them are called two-dimensional or three-dimensional .

He explained, that the teams are conducting surveys of the lands, which are expected to include hydrocarbon compositions, pointing out that "the work of the Petroleum Exploration Company is to diagnose and identify exploration patches, and to install the discoverer so that it can then be referred to extractive companies specialized in developing these patches for productive fields, whether oil or gas.

Dave   He pointed out, that Iraq is a promising country in oil and gas production, where oil reserves are expected more than 500 billion barrels, while proven reserves are in the limits of more than 153 billion barrels .

سياسة , 2020/02/26 15:56 , عدد القراءات: 162

 Baghdad- Iraq today: Former MP Jassim al-Bayati ruled out passing the government on time, saying: "There is room for negotiations for the participation of all in the parliamentary session and the passage of the government before March 3."

"There is a big difference around the ministerial booth, and a lot of Shiite mPs do not want to form a government without the participation of other components," al-Bayati said in a press statement.

"The formation of the government may be postponed until March 3, and there is room for negotiation and satisfaction of all components to ensure the passage of the ministerial cab," he said.

"The threats about the mobilization of the street and the establishment of the Sunni province, which have spread in the media around the ministerial booth, will complicate the scene too much and will not lead to acceptable results," al-Bayati said. http://iraqtoday.com/news/37453/تشكيل-الحكومة-قد-يتأجل-للثالث-من-آذار

Baghdad:  A member of parliament from the Coalition of The Walking To The Peace of Al-Shammari coalition confirmed wednesday that there was a political consensus within parliament to pass the government of Prime Minister-designate Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi.

"The situation in the country does not tolerate any new crises," al-Shammari said in a statement, adding that "the failure to vote on the ministerial cab within the constitutional period will plunge the country into another crisis."

"There is a political consensus within the Parliament to pass the cab and give it confidence in order to work to implement the demands of the street and the authority to prepare for the early elections," al-Shammari said.

Al-Shammari called on political blocs opposed to the new government to "leave the insistence on quotas and the requirement to grant positions to ensure that confidence is given and that they should put the public interest above any consideration." http://iraqtoday.com/news/37452/قبل-ساعات-من-الجلسة-سائرون-تتحدث-عن-توافق-سياسي-على-تمرير-حكومة-علاوي

Dave   Saleh: The UN Security Council sanctions still apply to Iraq  2/26/2020

Dave   Iraq still suffers from some restrictions imposed by the United Nations Security Council since the beginning of the nineties of the last century because of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait and the economic sanctions that followed that overthrew the Iraqi industry and made Iraq unable to use and invest those fortunes.

Economic sanctions were not lifted despite the collapse of the regime The former and the entry into Iraq of a new political era, it was hoped that the country would restore its industries and production, but the scale of corruption that accompanied the political process and the restrictions and sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council kept those industries intact
