Judy Note: According to Dr. Charlie Ward on Mon. 28 April:

Trump’s tax plan: tariffs in, income taxes out. 14% tax on new items bought only. None on food, medicine.

By April 2025 President Trump was actively taking down: The IRS while he installed the ERS (External Revenue Service) that “substantially reduces, perhaps eliminates taxes for those making less than $200K a year.”

What We Think We Know as of Tues. 29 April 2025:

Mon. 28 April 2025 JUST IN: Trump says a TOTAL tax cut could be coming. “We’re gonna cut taxes for the people of this country. It’ll take a little while… it’s possible we’ll do a complete tax cut. I think the tariffs will be enough to cut all of the income tax.” …Elon Musk on Telegram

A property registered in the borrower's name may also be accepted to obtain the full loan.

The bank explained that the guarantees include mortgaging the property to the bank, with a guarantor covering half the loan amount and interest from the guarantor's salary.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

CARDANO LACE WALLET INTEGRATES BITCOIN, BOOSTING CROSS-CHAIN CAPABILITIES

▪️Charles Hoskinson announced on Monday that Bitcoin integrates into the Lace Wallet, expanding Cardano’s ecosystem and cross-chain capabilities.

▪️This integration enables users to manage BTC alongside Cardano assets, providing support for multichain functionality.

▪️The news failed to move Cardano’s price significantly, but suggests a positive outlook for ADA.

Cardano (ADA) co-founder Charles Hoskinson announced Monday that Bitcoin (BTC) is integrated into the Lace Wallet, expanding Cardano’s ecosystem and cross-chain capabilities. This integration enables users to manage BTC alongside Cardano assets, providing support for multichain functionality.

The news failed to move Cardano’s price significantly, with ADA trading in a narrow range near $0.70 at the time of writing on Tuesday, but it suggests a positive outlook for the token.

Cardano’s co-founder welcomes Bitcoin

On Monday, Charles Hoskinson announced on his X post that Bitcoin is integrated into the Lace Wallet, a non-custodial wallet platform developed by Input Output Global (IOG), one of the key organizations behind the Cardano blockchain. Lace allows users to send, receive, and stake Cardano’s native cryptocurrency, ADA, and manage other digital assets on the network.

“With this release, Lace becomes even more accessible and versatile, introducing Firefox support, the beta rollout of Bitcoin, and several performance improvements under the hood,” says Lace in its blog post.

This integration enables users to manage BTC alongside Cardano assets, providing support for multichain functionality. However, this news did not significantly impact Cardano’s price on Monday; nonetheless, it suggests a positive outlook for the long term as it expands Cardano’s ecosystem, enhances its cross-chain capabilities, and boosts wider adoption.

Cardano's technical outlook suggests a rally if it closes above $0.74

Cardano price is facing resistance around its 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.71 since last week and declined to find support at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (drawn from the August 5 low of $0.27 to the December 3 high of $1.32) at $0.66 on Monday. At the time of writing on Tuesday, ADA hovers around the 200-day EMA at $0.71.

If ADA breaks above the 200-day EMA and closes above its weekly resistance level at $0.74, it could extend the rally to retest its next daily resistance at $0.80.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 59, indicating bullish momentum, as it is positioned above its neutral level of 50. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also exhibited a bullish crossover last week, providing a buy signal and indicating a potential continuation of the upward trend.

However, if ADA’s daily candlestick closes below the 61.8% Fibonacci level at $0.66, it could extend the decline to retest its April 22 low of $0.61.

SOUTH KOREA'S RULING PARTY VOWS TO APPROVE SPOT CRYPTO ETFS, SCRAP KEY BANKING RULE

South Korea’s People Power Party has pledged crypto reforms, including ETF approval and banking rule repeal, ahead of the June election.

▪️South Korea’s People Power Party has pledged to approve spot crypto ETFs and scrap South Korea’s "one exchange, one bank" rule if they win.

▪️The party’s crypto agenda includes corporate crypto trading, stablecoin regulation, and a new Virtual Asset Special Committee this year.

▪️The election outcome could decide the fate of reforms, with opposition leader Lee Jae-myung leading in the polls ahead of the June 3 vote.

South Korea’s People Power Party has vowed to approve spot crypto ETFs, dismantle a major banking restriction, and overhaul digital asset laws before the end of the year, local media reported Monday.

The party revealed its digital asset pledge just weeks after the country’s impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, was removed from office for illegally imposing martial law, a political shock that has formed the basis for a fiercely contested snap election on June 3.

The PPP’s proposals include abolishing the "one exchange, one bank" rule, which restricts crypto exchanges to a single banking partner —a regulation blamed for entrenching monopolies and limiting consumer choice.

"It is very restrictive not to be able to trade virtual assets through the bank of your choice," Rep. Park Soo-min said on Monday during the emergency response committee meeting held at the National Assembly.

The PPP has also pledged to legalize spot crypto ETFs within the year. Park stressed the urgency of approval, pointing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) decision to greenlight spot Bitcoin ETFs last January.

In addition, the party said in its agenda that it would also institutionalize corporate and institutional investor participation in the crypto market within this year.

If PPP wins, starting in Q2, non-profits can engage in crypto trading, with broader participation from around 3,500 corporations and investment firms.

‘Golden standard’

During the committee meeting, Rep. Choi Bo-yoon said that PPP also plans to introduce a "global standard" regulatory system for stablecoins, local media reported.

To oversee the implementation of its digital asset agenda, the party seeks to establish a Virtual Asset Special Committee directly under the presidential office.

The PPP has vowed to enact the Framework Act on the Promotion of Digital Assets, which would subdivide exchange operations, create listing regulations, and introduce a disclosure system for digital asset transactions.

The party’s push aligns with a global shift toward crypto deregulation, triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s moves to repeal DeFi broker reporting rules, authorize the creation of a national Bitcoin stockpile, and place crypto as a core element of American financial policy.

Invoking Trump-era deregulation, PPP presidential candidate Hong Joon-pyo recently vowed to “eliminate regulations as much as the Trump administration did” and pledged to expand blockchain applications across South Korean public services.

Still, whether the PPP’s agenda can move forward will depend on the election outcome.

Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung has campaigned on restoring democratic norms and stabilizing the economy, but has offered few specifics about his stance on regulating digital assets.

Current polling shows Lee, who narrowly lost the 2022 race, now holding a commanding lead over his rivals, according to local media.

“Tidbits From TNT” Tuesday Morning 4-29-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Head of the Iraqi Private Banks Association: Arab and foreign investments in Iraq reached $63 billion in two years.

The head of the Iraqi Private Banks Association, Wadih Al-Handhal, announced that the Union of Arab Banks will hold its next conference in the capital, Baghdad, under the patronage of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, in cooperation with the Central Bank of Iraq and the Iraqi Private Banks Association. 

In his speech at the Union of Arab Banks conference currently being held in Cairo, under the title of Public-Private Partnership, Al-Handhal said, "The current Iraqi government has taken a major role in achieving public-private partnerships, starting with the establishment of the Private Sector Council."

He noted that the private banking sector has begun to expand significantly following the partnership with the government, represented by the expansion of electronic payments and government institutions contracting with companies and banks to develop the infrastructure for government electronic payments.

 He added that electronic payments via bank cards in 2024 reached more than 21.1 trillion dinars, through more than 58.4 million transactions, compared to just over 7,000 transactions in 2017. This represents a significant development. 

 He stressed that the volume of Arab and foreign investments in Iraq over the past two years reached $63 billion, and this came as a result of the partnership between the government and the private sector. 

 He explained that the development path represents a major gateway to public-private partnerships, and that everyone can participate in this project, which contributes to the development of Iraq's gross domestic product. link

Tishwash:  MP: Parliament will resume its sessions normally within the next two days - Urgent

 Member of Parliament Jawad Al-Yasari confirmed, on Monday (April 28, 2025), that the Iraqi Parliament will resume its sessions normally within the next two days.

The leftist told Baghdad Today, "The House of Representatives will resume its sessions within the next two days, and there is a determination and will to do so from the House Presidency, and there is an understanding with the parliamentary blocs, with the aim of exploiting the last months of the House's term to pass important laws."

He added that "any controversial law will not be put on the agenda without prior agreement between the parliament's presidency and the leaders of the parliamentary blocs to ensure that sessions are not disrupted, as has happened in the past period." He indicated that "in the coming hours, a date will be set for the resumption of weekly sessions as normal."

Last Saturday, the Parliamentary Legal Committee confirmed that the term of the Iraqi Parliament's legislative and oversight body had "expired."

Committee member Mohammed Anouz told Baghdad Today, "The Iraqi parliament's legislative and oversight role has come to an end due to a political will to obstruct the council's work until the next parliamentary elections. This session has been deliberately obstructed by political disputes since the beginning of the session and continues to this day."

He explained that "there is a deliberate attempt to keep the House of Representatives inactive so as to prevent requests for interpellation and accountability for some officials who enjoy political and partisan protection, as well as to obstruct the passage of some laws so that they remain a bargaining chip and blackmail tool in the hands of some political parties during the coming period. That is why we say that the life of the legislative and oversight council has ended because of these influential political parties."

The scene of a parliament in limbo or in session has become a part of political life in Iraq. Citizens may have grown accustomed to this recurring pattern, or may consider themselves unconcerned with what transpires within the parliament, which could translate into a reluctance to participate in or a boycott of the upcoming parliamentary elections.  link

Tishwash:  The Finance Committee discusses oil price fluctuations and the regulatory law with international partners.

On Monday, April 28, 2025, the Parliamentary Finance Committee discussed the fluctuations in oil prices and their impact on the budget, with the International Partners Foundation, and with the participation of experts, consultants, university professors and official bodies, in an important workshop to discuss the proposed law for the first amendment to the Federal Revenue Control and Allocation Authority Law No. (55) of 2017.

The House of Representatives' media office said in a statement received by Al-Jabal that it "held an expanded two-day workshop to discuss ways to maximize revenues, in cooperation with the International Partners Foundation, with the participation of experts, consultants, university professors, and relevant official bodies." 

 Committee Chairman Atwan Al-Atwani noted that "over time and the increasing complexity of the economic landscape have demonstrated the need to review, update, and amend the Authority's legal framework." He explained that "the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives is currently leading a significant legislative effort aimed at introducing the first amendment to Law No. 55 of 2017, a move that reflects an awareness that the law in its current form may not be sufficient to address emerging challenges or fully achieve the ambitious goals set for the Authority."

The International Partners Foundation presented a presentation by Mr. Ken McIntosh and Lord Jeremy Purves, highlighting the most prominent problems and challenges facing the Iraqi economy. They presented the Foundation's vision for overcoming these obstacles, emphasizing the Commission's pivotal role in monitoring and overseeing the allocation of revenues to achieve financial stability and enhance transparency.

 According to the statement, "The proposed first amendment, which the House of Representatives completed its first reading, aims to address challenges and enhance the Authority's role through several axes addressed in the interventions and discussions during the workshop, most notably the Authority's role in verifying the fair distribution of revenues when preparing the draft federal general budget, and the accuracy of calculating allocations according to principles and standards determined by a special and precise system.

Approaching the relevant authorities to provide the Authority with the necessary information and documents to enable it to perform its duties effectively. Investigating and investigating to accurately determine the sources and components of federal revenues."

 The workshop also included hosting representatives of ministries to exchange advice and opinions, with a focus on the importance of expanding the authority's mandate to include evaluating the performance and financial effectiveness of government institutions, in addition to the need to clearly define the authority's powers to avoid overlapping tasks with other institutions, according to the statement.

 The workshop's primary objective, according to the statement, was to "consult and gather input from key stakeholders, including representatives of federal ministries, the regional and local governments, financial and legal experts, and representatives of the International Partners Foundation, on the proposed draft amendment.

The workshop also sought to develop the draft amendment based on the comments and suggestions submitted, with the aim of finalizing it before presenting it for a second reading in the House of Representatives. Additionally, it explored how to enable the Commission to carry out its expanded mandate efficiently and effectively."  link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

ARIZONA LEGISLATURE PASSES BITCOIN RESERVE BILL, SENDS IT TO GOVERNOR’S DESK: BLOOMBERG GOVERNMENT

▪️The bill, called the Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, was passed on Monday by Arizona’s state legislature, Bloomberg Government reported.

▪️If signed by Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, the state would be the first to require public funds to invest in bitcoin.

Lawmakers in Arizona have passed a bill allowing the state treasurer and retirement system to invest up to 10% of available funds in digital assets, specifically bitcoin, sending it to the governor’s desk for approval, according to Bloomberg Government.

The bill, called the Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, passed Monday in the state legislature, Bloomberg Government reported.

"This bill represents an emerging approach by a state government to integrate cryptocurrency into public financial management, reflecting the growing mainstream acceptance of digital assets," according to the bill text's summary.

The bill's cosponsors are both Republicans: Sen. Wendy Rogers and Rep. Jeff Weninger. If signed by Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, the state would be the first to require public funds to invest in Bitcoin.

Several states, including Iowa, Missouri, and Texas, are weighing whether to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve. At the federal level, President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve and digital asset stockpile.

Some asset managers have weighed in on how much bitcoin investors should hold. BlackRock recommended in December allocating 1% to 2% of a portfolio to bitcoin, according to Business Insider. Fidelity has suggested a slightly higher range, recommending 2% to 5%.

CONGRESS STRUGGLES TO MEET TRUMP’S AUGUST DEADLINE FOR U.S. CRYPTO REGULATION

▪️Congress accelerates efforts to finalize U.S. crypto legislation before President Trump’s August deadline.

▪️Lawmakers push for market structure and stablecoin bills as industry calls for action on DOJ prosecution.

▪️The crypto industry urges intervention from Trump’s Crypto Czar as legal battles over developer accountability heat up.

As lawmakers return to Capitol Hill after a two-week recess, crypto legislation is at the top of their agenda. With just three months left before President Trump’s August deadline, Congress has a lot of work ahead to craft laws that could define the future of digital assets in America.

Eleanor Terrett took to X to give a *spicy* update on everything that’s brewing.

Crypto Legislation: The Countdown Begins

Lawmakers are hard at work to push through two key bills: the market structure and stablecoin regulations. With little time left before the August deadline, there’s not much room for error. And let’s be honest, it was about time.

Last Friday, the House Financial Services Committee scheduled a joint hearing with the House Agriculture Committee for May 6, titled “American Innovation and the Future of Digital Assets.”

It’s clear that Congress is aiming for a forward-thinking approach.But can they pull it off in time? That’s the million-dollar question.

House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill (R-AR) shared that a discussion draft of the new legislation is expected soon. This draft is an updated version of last year’s FIT21 market structure bill. Meanwhile, Senate staffers are working on their own version, incorporating elements from both the 2022 Lummis-Gillibrand Responsible Financial Innovation Act and the FIT21 bill.

Industry Leaders Step Up: DOJ, It’s Time to Listen

While Congress scrambles, the crypto industry is raising its voice.

A petition led by the DeFi Education Fund, along with key industry leaders, has been launched urging President Trump’s Crypto and AI Czar, David Sacks, to intervene in the Department of Justice’s prosecution of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm.

The petition argues that developers shouldn’t be criminally liable for how bad actors use their code, especially when they have no control over it. The legal theory behind the prosecution has the potential to seriously impact innovation.

If lawmakers want to ensure the growth of the crypto ecosystem, this issue needs immediate attention.

What’s Next for Crypto?

With Congress hustling to meet the August deadline and the industry pushing for reform, we’re in for a wild few months.

Bizarrely, Gold Is The Opposite Of The Bitcoin Effect Right Now

Bizarrely, Gold Is The Opposite Of The Bitcoin Effect Right Now

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  April 28, 2025

You’ve probably heard the story.

As the legend goes, on a late-summer morning in 1929, Joseph Kennedy — patriarch of the famous Kennedy family — was headed into his office in downtown New York City. As he sat for a quick shoe shine, the young boy buffing his shoes, barely a teenager, eagerly offered him stock tips.

 Kennedy listened politely, but inside, he felt a jolt of alarm.

Supposedly he rushed to his office, dumped his entire stock portfolio, and moved heavily into cash. And just weeks later the stock market collapsed.

 There’s a good chance this story isn’t true; I’ve often heard it told with Sir John Templeton in place of Joe Kennedy... and when urban legends can’t even get their protagonists straight, that’s usually a sign of fiction.

 Curiously, however, a similar thing actually happened to me.

It was March 2009— six months after the Global Financial Crisis kicked off that wiped 50% off the S&P 500.

 I was living in Punta del Este, Uruguay at the time and was coincidentally getting my shoes shined before heading to the airport for a trip to Asia.

 The shoe shiner, an elderly Uruguayan man, asked me what I did for a living. I mentioned something about finance, at which point he cautioned me to avoid the stock market.

 At that point the S&P was at its crisis-era low... and would go on to nearly 10x over the next 16 years.

 Another story that is true is from August 1979: Businessweek magazine famously declared "The Death of Equities," capturing the widespread view that stocks (which had suffered in the 1970s) would continue to languish.

Yet the stock market was just about to unleash a multi-decade bull run.

 In April 2019, the same Businessweek ran a cover asking, "Is Inflation Dead?", again capturing the popular idea that there would never be inflation again. That turned out to be 100% incorrect.

Then there was the famous Bitcoin craze in November 2017: families across America spent their Thanksgiving holidays opening up Coinbase accounts and bidding up the price of Bitcoin to its (then) all-time high. Crypto subsequently entered a multi-year bear market...

Anytime I see popular bandwagons, I become nervous. And I’m starting to see some signs of that with gold.

 One glaring signal is that Costco— which sells gold to its customers— sold out its most recent inventory of American Eagle Gold Coins in less than four days. Gold demand is surging among retail investors.

Dealers are reporting crazy volume. The media is talking about gold daily now, whereas in the past they used to go weeks or months without a mention of gold.

 The Wall Street Journal even ran an article this past weekend entitled “How to buy gold”.

 Big investment bank analysts who, heretofore had ignored gold or been extremely bearish, are suddenly its biggest champions. Even the notorious Goldman Sachs is now projecting nearly $4,000 gold this year.

 And only a handful of analysts are bearish.

Look, we’ve been talking about gold for years... and in particular since 2023 when it became obvious that there were long-term catalysts.

It’s pretty easy to understand: central banks around the world are trading in their US dollars for gold, simply because they don’t have confidence that the dollar will last as the global reserve currency.

 And central banks don’t have a lot of options; there are only so many non-dollar asset classes that can absorb hundreds of billions of dollars worth of capital flows. Gold is one of the most convenient.

I’ve explained before that, because of these capital flow trends and catalysts, we could easily see $5,000 or even $10,000 gold over the coming years.

 But at the same time, the trend line for the gold price has been incredibly steep ever since its low in 2022. And, again, there are now signs that a retail gold mania may be forming.

I’m not saying that gold is too expensive or that it’s time to sell. These short-term market trends are extremely difficult to predict, and I tend to ignore them.

 Instead, I focus on the long-term big picture. And that’s a lot easier to see: the US fiscal situation is in major decline. The government is doing very little about it. And the rest of the world is already diversifying away from the dollar.

All of these trends are good for gold.

 Who knows what investors will do over the next few months? But over the next five years, you can make a very strong case that central banks will continue to buy gold and send the price higher.

 At the same time, I recognize that it’s difficult for some people to buy an asset when it’s at/near its all-time high... especially when it may suffer a short-term correction.

This is why we’ve been writing about an alternative to gold; because, while gold is near its all-time high, many gold companies are still undervalued relative to gold itself.

 I’m talking about really solid, profitable gold miners trading at less than TWO times forward earnings. It’s ridiculous.

 In a way it’s the opposite of the crypto phenomenon with Microstrategy (MSTR)— the company which primarily owns and holds Bitcoin.

 Microstrategy (technically now called “Strategy”) owns 553,555 Bitcoin worth $52 billion. That’s pretty much their biggest (and nearly only) asset.

 Yet the MSTR’s market cap is $92 billion.

 In other words, the Bitcoin-related company is worth nearly double the amount of Bitcoin it holds. This makes no sense.

 With gold, it’s the opposite. Gold is near its all-time highs... but the gold-related companies are cheap and undervalued.

 Some investors are starting to notice— for example, multiple precious metals companies we have published in our investment research service have risen by 40-60%.

 One has more than doubled in price... yet is still trading at a forward multiple of just 2x.

 So, gold is bizarrely the opposite of the Bitcoin effect with Microstrategy: gold is at a record high, but gold companies are cheap. I’ll say it again— this is not going to last.

No Gold? You’re Doomed In The Reset War

No Gold? You’re Doomed In The Reset War

Daniela Cambone:  4-28-2025

The Bank of Canada has no gold reserves and that could pose significant challenges for Canadians amid an unfolding global monetary reset, says Maxime Bernier, founder and leader of the People’s Party of Canada, who is running for Prime Minister.

In an interview with Daniela Cambone on Election Day, Bernier outlines the key issues facing Canada: mass immigration, unsustainable debt, and the potential return to a gold standard under his government.

 He warns that a major monetary reset is already underway, driven by high debt levels in Western nations and the diminishing dominance of the U.S. dollar.

Bernier also explores the possibility of a global shift toward a gold-based system for international transactions, which would present challenges for Canadians lacking gold reserves. In 2017, he recalled being “laughed at” by Stephen Harper when discussing the gold standard idea.

Watch the video to learn more about his policies and his vision for Canada’s future

Key Facts:

Canada owns no gold reserves.

A monetary reset is inevitable.

Canada’s national debt doubled under Trudeau.

Stephen Harper laughed at Bernier's "gold standard" idea in 2017.

Why Western elites are tied to fiat currency?

Gold Telegraph: The Last Monetary Reset

4-27-2025

One of the most overlooked moves this week: China’s central bank is investing in the internationalization of the Shanghai Gold Exchange. A war is playing out in the gold market, and it’s about pricing power. Buckle up.

The U.S. dollar index is down nearly 9%, on track for its worst start to the year since 1973 when currencies were cut loose from gold and began to float freely. In other words, the last monetary reset. The signs are everywhere.

BREAKING NEWS: A TOP CONTENDER TO REPLACE JAY POWELL HAS BLAMED THE FEDERAL RESERVE FOR “SYSTEMATIC ERRORS” AND MISHANDLING THE MOST SEVERE INFLATION CRISIS IN DECADES.

Change is in the air.

“Since the panic of 2008, central bank dominance has become a new feature of American governance…”

The next Federal Reserve chair must rebuild what’s been lost. Restoring the monetary integrity of the United States. @judyshel

For years, I’ve warned about the “buy now, pay later” trap. It’s a disgrace that so many rely on this financing to survive. Now, Americans are using it to pay for groceries. Very sad…

I said this 2 years ago: “More and more countries are either ignoring or starting to disrespect the IMF publicly…”

This week: The United States said it would pursue a significant overhaul of the International Monetary Fund.

The Spotlight is on the IMF. Despite a warning from the International Monetary Fund, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has successfully sold millions of gold-backed crypto tokens. Iran and Russia have also expressed interest in creating a new stablecoin backed by gold for trade. More and more countries are either ignoring or starting to disrespect the IMF publicly:

1) Zimbabwe ignored IMF warnings on gold-backed crypto tokens. 2) In early April, Tunisia rejected IMF loans, and the President said that Tunisians must count on themselves. 3) The Argentine Vice President recently blamed the country's $44 billion agreement with the International Monetary Fund as a significant factor behind the recent sharp devaluation of the peso and the subsequent wave of inflation, escalating consumer prices by more than 100%.

This is happening as debt from 18 developing nations is trading at distressed levels. A trend worth watching...

A leading pick to replace Jerome Powell says the Federal Reserve is due for nothing less than a complete “strategic reset.” About time… Only at the Federal Reserve could they believe that buying trillions in unwanted assets would end well.

The President of Colombia just called out the International Monetary Fund. Referencing them as “vampires.” The trend continues…

Militia Man  Remember, Iraq's original currency was mostly reflected off of oil and rentier country.  Not anymore.  That's going to mean they're going to need or will have a very strong powerful real effective exchange rate.  It's obvious IMO.

Frank26  In the Middle East...they're talking about a new exchange rate and the heavy talk they were dealing with was that maybe...a new rate was coming out at around $1.32.  I don't know.  I have no idea what the rate will be but I do know the IMF and the World Bank is working with the CBI and the US Treasury to bring purchasing power to their currency.  When?  I don't know.  All the evidence is in the articles.
