The Trump Administration Says Tariffs Aren’t Going Away: 5 Ways To Prepare Your Finances

In an appearance on Fox News, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick made the Trump Administration’s position clear: “Rest assured, tariffs are not going away.”

The Administration has signaled that they will not extend the current 90-day pause on many tariffs. So how should American consumers prepare for a jolt in prices?

Slash Spending Now

Don’t get caught flat-footed by price jumps. Start cutting back on spending now, to soften the impact when the worst of it hits.

“People often wait too long to pivot when it comes to their finances,” said Charles Hoff, financial education counselor at DFCU Financial. “Plan for the worst scenario now, which means cutting expenses to a level where you are living ‘well below your means’ so you can absorb increasing costs.”

Deepen Your Emergency Fund

As you rein in your spending, use the surplus to pad your emergency fund.

Robert Gabriel, financial specialist with healthcare platform Vosita, explained that most financial experts recommend emergency savings that can cover three-to-six months of living expenses. “With the volatility tariffs will create in the economy and prices, shoot for the upper part of that range. A well-cushioned emergency fund serves as a shock absorber against price hikes or possible income disruptions.”

Don’t just leave that cash losing money in an account earning no or low interest, either. Find a high-interest savings account that can hopefully keep pace with inflation or at least reduce the loss in purchasing power.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday Morning 6-12-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Parliamentary Legal Committee: No serious steps have been taken to pass the Oil and Gas Law yet.

Parliamentary Legal Committee member Dara Sekanyani confirmed on Wednesday that no serious steps have been taken to pass the oil and gas law. He noted that passing the law requires consensus and understanding between the parties, something that has not yet been achieved.

“All parties are talking about the importance of approving and passing the oil and gas law, which was included in the government’s work program and was scheduled to be passed, but no serious steps have been taken to pass it yet,” Sekanyani said in a press statement. He explained that “passing the oil and gas law concerns all of Iraq and requires understanding between all parties. It requires some kind of agreement and consensus, but so far this consensus and understanding has not been achieved between the political parties in Iraq and the region.”

He added, "If the oil and gas law is passed, the oil and gas issue between the Kurdistan Regional Government and the federal government will be resolved, and some of the issues between them will be resolved, provided that all parties commit to implementing the law after its passage."  link

Tishwash:  Al-Karawi: We filed a lawsuit against the government due to the delay in the budget schedules

Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Mustafa Al-Karaawi, revealed today, Tuesday, that the committee has filed a lawsuit against the government due to its delay in sending the budget schedules.

Al-Karaawi said in a statement to / Al-Maalouma / agency, that “the suspension of new employment and appointments is based on Article (14) of the Budget Law, which stipulates the suspension of contracting and appointment, with the exception of 150 job grades regulated within the budget text, in addition to some excluded categories in institutions affiliated with the Ministry of Education.”

He explained that "these exceptions have already been implemented or government institutions have begun implementing them. As for new contracts or daily wages, there is no explicit text in the budget that allows them to proceed with them, which makes them a subject of continuous discussion in Parliament sessions, especially with regard to the confirmation of contracts."

He added that "the first half of the year is about to end, and the budget has not yet been included on Parliament's agenda," stressing that "this matter constitutes a clear violation of the Budget Law, especially Article 77/Second Paragraph."

He pointed out that he "filed a lawsuit with the Public Prosecution Office more than two weeks ago, due to the delay in sending the budget and the existence of financial violations related to the Kurdistan Regional Government's allocations, as more than 4 trillion dinars spent were above the approved allocations."
Al-Karawi confirmed that "the Public Prosecution Office has begun investigation procedures to find a solution to the crisis," suggesting that the reason for the government's delay in sending the budget is the lack of financial liquidity and the absence of real solutions to the financing and cash crises, in addition to ignoring fluctuations in oil prices.

It is noteworthy that the budget for the years (2023-2025) was legislated in a three-part formula for the first time in Iraq's history, but the government has not sent its annual schedules yet, which has sparked angry parliamentary and popular reactions.  link

Tishwash:  Mazhar Saleh: Stabilizing inflation is one of the most notable successes of Iraq's economic policy.

6/11/2025

 The Prime Minister's economic advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed that one of the most significant successes of Iraq's economic policy this year has been the stability of the general price level, or inflation, growth rate. He noted that the annual inflation rate is approaching, for the first time in many years, the natural break in price growth, which amounts to about 3% or less, according to statistical inflation indicators.

 Saleh explained in an interview with Al Furat News Agency that "this significant price stability is due to the combination of economic policy objectives to maintain the purchasing power of citizens' cash income and overall macroeconomic indicators, which represents an addition to real income for citizens and a good indicator of the investment and business climate." 

He pointed out that "among the factors that contributed to achieving these successes is the general budget's allocation of price support within fiscal policy, which constitutes more than 13% of GDP. This is a high and significant percentage, and goes towards subsidizing the prices of government services, in addition to fuel and food basket subsidies, farmer support, and other types of support."   LINK

153% Gain in Three Months

153% Gain in Three Months

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  June 11, 2025

We’ve been extremely consistent—practically shouting from the rooftops over the last year—that there was an absolutely outrageous investment trend that was going to make people who were paying attention a lot of money… and it wasn’t going to last.

What we’ve been saying over and over is that gold’s bull run was just beginning. At $2,000, we said it wasn’t the end. At $3,000, we said it wasn’t the end…  But the bizarre anomaly was that while gold was heading to all-time highs, gold stocks were still remarkably cheap.

And we explained the reason why—gold was hitting all-time highs because central banks were losing confidence in the US dollar and trading for the only truly universal asset in the world: gold.

But central banks were buying gold bars, not gold stocks—so while gold hit all-time highs, gold stocks barely budged.

It was a similar phenomenon with other real assets as well, including silver and platinum.

And in our 4th Pillar investment research service, we identified some of the most ridiculously undervalued companies and presented our research to subscribers.

It didn’t take very long—one of our most undervalued precious metals stocks is up 153% in three months.

Our other best performing precious metals picks of the year have gained:

• 146% in the last eleven months

• 133% in the last two months

• 51% in the last three months

Another five stocks we researched are up between 27-34%.

For the sake of transparency, one is actually down 27%.

And frankly, we don’t think it’s because it’s a bad company.

We think the company’s fundamentals and management are quite sound, so we believe it’s even more undervalued now. And with specific catalysts on its horizon, it’s a great opportunity to pick it up.

But in general, is it too late to find the deals?

Opportunities are definitely thinning, but there are still some out there.

To give you an example, in our most recent 4th Pillar report we sent out last week, we identified a profitable gold business trading for less than cash.

Talk about limited downside— you could literally buy the entire company, repay yourself with its cash, and have the operating business for FREE.

That’s the type of investment opportunities we find.

And just like the companies we identified recently which surged 150%, this one also has a number of catalysts on the horizon which could quickly re-rate the stock much higher.

Those catalysts are in addition to the simple fact that investors are finally catching on, and realizing how much value there is to be had in companies related to mining precious metals.

They’re looking. But we got there first.

We’ve been practically pounding the table on this for over a year.

We said these companies were cheap, we said they were going to skyrocket in value—and that’s exactly what’s happened.

This trend is not over. But it’s definitely something you want to be paying attention to.

I can’t stress this enough, these are the types of companies you want to own in this economic environment.

And we’re very proud of the work we have done to find these opportunities.

Billionaire Has A Three-Word Blunt Response To The Falling Dollar

Billionaire Has A Three-Word Blunt Response To The Falling Dollar

Anushka Basu  Tue, June 10, 2025  TheStreet

A Bitcoin evangelist and billionaire, Max Keiser, has made headlines with another chilling wearable active prediction about the US dollar. In a recent post over at X, Keiser said the US Dollar is getting "euthanized by Bitcoin," accompanied by a cartoon—a doctor holding a Bitcoin logo is about to administer a lethal injection to a distressed dollar bill.

Max Keiser  @maxkeiser:  The US Dollar is being euthanized by Bitcoin.  Time to get your affairs in order. LINK

Keiser's incendiary remarks coincide with rising voices acknowledging the weakness of the dollar as it loses importance around the globe, as Bitcoin becomes increasingly preferred.

Adding to Keiser's story, MicroStrategy executive chairman Michael Saylor has also expressed similar thoughts. Saylor, in a recent long-form interview with Jordan Peterson, disparaged the dollar, comparing it to a "22nd-century" asset with a 19th-century design.

He put forth a “perfect gold" analogy, arguing that due to Bitcoin's limited 21 million coin cap, its ability to be transferred in a peer-to-peer manner makes it a superior store of value.

“If God said, you know, I'm going to implement a system of 21 million gold coins, but we're going to call them God coins, and I'm going to keep them in a bank in heaven, and I'm gonna let you transfer, you know, any amount. I'm gonna let you subdivided by 100 million, and we'll call them Satoshis, and I will let you transfer peer to peer and pay anybody, anytime, instantly, at the speed of light,” said Saylor.

Saylor's track record of making MicroStrategy, a $500 million company, competitive against companies like Microsoft adds to his gravitas.

Clare:  The Parliamentary Finance Committee expects the budget tables to reach Parliament soon and an extraordinary session to be held.

6/11/2025

Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Representative Jamal Kojer, expects that the tables of the General Budget Law for the year (2025) will reach the House of Representatives soon.

In a press statement, Kocher indicated that "the arrival of the budget schedules is linked to the government's completion of the official preparation process," stressing "the parliament's readiness to hold an extraordinary session as soon as the schedules are officially received, with the aim of discussing and approving them quickly."

He explained that "the Finance Committee does not expect the session to witness a lengthy or in-depth discussion regarding the new budget schedules, given that they will not witness any fundamental changes compared to last year's budget, which was approved over three years without any significant amendments.

He pointed out that this reflects a clear trend in Parliament towards facilitating the procedures for approving the schedules with the aim of ensuring the rapid activation of financial spending and the continued implementation of projects and services during the remaining period of the year."

Kocher also noted that even if there are some minor amendments to the draft budget, the prevailing trend is to pass the law as it was presented by the government, in order to preserve the stability of the financial and economic process and avoid any delays that could negatively impact government performance and citizens' needs.   LINK

Frank26  Community comment:  "There is a rate inside of Iraq, $1.21."   To which I say, Bull [ka ka].  You can go to the CBI website and see the rate is not $1.21...They would have to have a change in their market prices.  To make such a statement that there's a rate change inside of Iraq only, not outside...is nonsense...They would have to reprice everything in order to reflect the current situation, not 1310 value, which is what is reflected right now...you silly rabbit.

Ingram   Iraq is on the Forex market... but not in the same way as major global currencies like the US dollar, Euro or British pound.  The IQD is not freely convertible internationally.  You can't walk into a bank or forex platform in the United States or Europe and easily trade IQD.  Most major Forex brokers do not list the Iraqi dinar for retail trading because it is a non-convertible restricted currency.  Its trading is confined mainly to inside Iraq or in niche physical currency exchanges abroad, often for speculative purposes.

Alex Krainer: The US Banking System is the Key to Challenging the Hegemony

Palisades Gold Radio:  6-11-2025

Tom welcomes Alex Krainer to the show to discuss the importance of investing in commodities like gold and silver as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical instability.

Krainer highlights the manipulation of markets, particularly natural gas, which has been kept artificially low to control food prices.

Krainer discusses the problems created by the modern debt based systems and why these structures need to change for humanity to progress.

He feels the world is heading towards an uncharted period of multi-polarity in currencies.

Krainer emphasizes the need for individuals to build local support networks, as governments may fail to provide adequate assistance during crises.

He advises investors to get to know their neighbors and develop practical solutions to survive challenges like shortages or economic disruptions.

 Krainer also touches on his work in trend following and provides resources such as his Substack newsletters and books, which are available for free on his website.

His insights underscore the importance of preparedness and resilience in uncertain times.

Fed's 'Shady' Gold Secrets Spark Audit Bill; A 'Reckoning is Near'

Fed's 'Shady' Gold Secrets Spark Audit Bill; A 'Reckoning is Near'

Daniela Cambone:  6-11-2025

“The gold might be there—but who owns it? That’s the real question,” asks Jp Cortez of the Sound Money Defense League.

In today’s interview with Daniela Cambone, Cortez calls for a comprehensive audit of U.S. gold holdings, highlighting the recent reintroduction of the Gold Reserve Transparency Act of 2025 by Rep. Thomas Massie.

“An ounce of gold can change hands a thousand times without moving a single inch,” Cortez explains.

 With Florida recently eliminating its sales tax on gold and silver, and more than 40 other U.S. states partially or fully exempting sales tax on these metals, Cortez views this growing trend of tax exemption as a reaffirmation of “the constitutional role of gold and silver as real, tangible money in our modern economy.”

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 6-10-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 6-10-25  

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Tuesday, June the 10th, and you're listening to the big call. Thanks for tuning in again, everybody. We're excited to have another call tonight, even though we didn't think we would necessarily be here tonight, we are, and we've got a lot of good information to impart to everybody tonight, so fast in your seat belt, some drink water. Little unsweet tea. And let's go ahead and pray the call in

I tell how old I am, they go, you don't, you don't look like 71. And you sure don't act like, Well, that's true. I don't act like that. But what's really good is that we're going to be taking advantage of this.

 And I think what Jeannie said in her prayer and praise message tonight that it should be soon.  We have been so close to getting started -  that we were like and all of a sudden “boop”  something else. Something else happened.

Well,   I think they're running out of things to throw at us. So let's, let's believe that we are going coming into this very soon.

 I want to tackle one question that Bob brought up to me from a big call listener in Oklahoma, Oklahoma with, you know, now I live in Oklahoma, and to be fair to those from Oklahoma, really an Okie. I don't really sound like an Okie, but I love the people here. I love the churches here. I get along well with everybody, but this gentleman was asking about Wells Fargo, because they ain't no Wells Fargo banks in Oklahoma !!

There aren't any banks  - Wells Fargo Banks here -

How are we going to do that? Well, guess what? They do have  wealth management offices for Wells Fargo, Oklahoma. Now I don't know about oak city, but I know Tulsa, and I know where it is in Tulsa. Now it's not like there's a bunch of them or anything, but they have a presence here.

Now this is the point of me making this message to you, even though the big five banks - Well, Fargo Chase -  Bank of America – Citi - and truist bank, or our Big Top, top tier banks, or tier one banks With Bucha Santander Bank also kind of in that group, but that's more based on Mexico and Latin America. Okay, we have some here, and there'll be more in the US, but right now we have other banking institutions that are connected to or adjacent to or close to redemption centers.

So in some cases, there might be a Chase Bank that is connected to a redemption center, but next to it, or even connected to it, could be a redemption center – guess who’s running the redemption center?   

 It's not Chase, it's Wells Fargo. So even if you don't have a Wells Fargo Bank where you live, you have Wells Fargo over the redemption center where you live, centers across the United States, I know that's our primary audience right now. Is the US -  All of them have Wells Fargo representatives in there that will do our exchanges

Now, let's say you're in Oklahoma, and you're you do your exchange at a redemption center. You redeem your zim if you have it, and you're put, you know, and you've got a Wells Fargo accounts. Most of what you'll do in the future does not require retail banking. You're in a different level after this goes you're the level where you would have a premier banker. Should you want one –

A premier that's what they that they've renamed the wealth management to premier banking. You'll have that premier banking, and you can bank with that individual if you want, or just do your banking online if you want to.

And that's what the new Q phones, those satellite phone that work on the Starlink satellite system will operate on and they will be able to safely transact even using a phone like this Q phone, the satellite phone that we're going to get if you're a zim holder you get one at the redemption center. If they run out or you they don't have the phone for you, they'll give you a certificate to get a free phone somewhere in T Mobile that has been working with these phones since  Elon Musk saved President Trump's desire for western North Carolina after Helene came through and A bunch of people were stranded. They didn't have cell service, they didn't have anything. They didn’t have electricity.

Well,Elon, hook them up. I think it was about 18,000 of those Q phones, essentially same thing we're going to get the Q phone with for those people to operate free for 90 days with T Mobile. Now they have that offer out. Now T Mobile, does you get a 90 day deal? And I think after that, it's like only $10 a month, which doesn't make sense, but that's what it is. That's what it is

If we get our deal and it's a 90 day free, and then 10 bucks a month after that, so be it fantastic. That is the current offer that's out now, and it's the same phone that we're going to be offered at the redemption center, if you're a zim holderl, okay, just saying,

Now that really helped, the fact that Elon, Elon put that together through the Starlink satellite system, which is what it operates on. And, you know, through T Mobile, it just worked out great. I'm so glad he did that. It's tremendous.

All right, so let's go back. Don't worry if you don't have a Wells Fargo Bank, and if you love your other tier one bank or tier two bank, even for that matter, you can get this connected to your quantum accounts through your quantum access card.

You supposedly have three banks that you can attach to that card. Wells, say number one - Chase, you might add Bank of America, you might and Truist to it  you know, like I said, it's comfortable for us, you know, after you master trust and my master account with Wells and four sub accounts under LLCs with Wells, blah, blah, blah, sell that up, and then I'll be able to move funds around and move into those accounts and use those accounts accordingly - with a credit debit card for each for each of those four or five accounts.

So separate one designated for each one. Keep up with that. That's just the way my attorney and I have set up. So don't worry about it. If you only have Wells, if you're in Oklahoma, if you have a lot of listeners in Oklahoma, and overall, and you know, it's going to be fine. And if you want to use another bank, if you feel comfortable with another bank of size Wells, by all means, add it to your quantum card.

Throw some money in there. Possess yourself a little bit. You know, in what you're doing, remember, you're going to have R and R money coming in. You're going to have your DOGE  payment coming. You're going to have your increase in Social Security still to be this month, even though it's the 10th of June. Tomorrow's the 11th, which is a Wednesday, a Social Security busy. But let's see whether you need to get paid tomorrow on social whether they get their increase or not.

My understanding our social security contact is that we'll have an increase of 85 or 90% above now in Social Security at age 62 over. Okay, if you're getting it at age 62 or three. If you're getting at a 65 or 70, great, whatever it is, whatever you're getting now, figure out an 85 to a 90% increase, depending on eight or your year of birth. And I can't tell you exactly what it is. I don't want to be wrong.

This is fresh from Social Security Department yesterday that we have a contact that we talked to. So look forward. My point is, there will be funds coming to you outside of your actual currency exchange, and zim redemption - you could see some other banks or some other accounts with some of that money system is dead to the quantum financial system, and all of our accounts are now in USN, no longer designated as USD, so no longer fiat currency, but rather United States Treasury notes or United States Notes designation. That's good, but we're getting it. That's part of NESARA

The other thing that's gone, IMF, IRS is gone, but we'll see what how it comes out to us on this whole taxation issue. What Nasara said about a consumption tax of about 14 to 15% on new items that we buy? Oh, no, really, you spend a million dollars a year in new items.

Would you rather pay 15% in the price of an item that you spent a million dollars on this new versus spending 4050, 60% of your income in taxes. Hello, if you're going to be making real money, which you will even in interest from the bank that's earned interest income, Schedule B, are better off for the consumptions a year on new things, whatever if you do, you do, if you don't use new homes, use homes or previously owned homes, no tax previously owned cars, there'd be no tax, so we'll see when that kicks in.

Now, let's round this thing up. I'm going to come in from the back of this. June 14 is 50 year anniversary of the of the army. It's Flag Day and President Trump's birthday. That's this Saturday 14.

You guys know about the parade  that's going to take place Saturday in Washington, DC. We've got equipment and soldiers military coming from nine different military bases throughout the country. Yeah, there's tanks loaded up on trains from Texas coming all the way up to DC, and they got those special hard plastic things that they put on the tank threads so that they can drive them on the streets without tearing the street apart. So they'll have those, and it's going to be great.

Now, I don't know what time the parade starts. It might be at nine or 10. Well, we'll catch it, but it should be on Fox. It should be on on Newsmax. I think it'll be covered on one American news. It'll be, it should be a lot of channels. I toggle between Newsmax and one America news. That's what I've toggled between now. So you've got  that on the 14th now.

What else could happen, as we believe we're hearing on the is the beginning of the rollout of NESARA, and it should roll out between June 14 and July 4, or people are made aware of it, where people are able to respond accordingly to what's included in the Sara let's just see it actually is the release date, meaning we should get an announcement about the USN, our new currency, the ustn, United States Treasury note, which is already in the bank and has been in there for two years. Same thing as redemption centers. It's been there centers, so let's see it comes together.

 Now let's go back and see where we where we are since last Thursday on Thursdays call that information, telling us that we would be getting notified either Tuesday or Wednesday, today or tomorrow for our 800 numbers, and set our appointment in, oh, quite possibly, would have been Wednesday, Thursday.

 Now, what has happened since Thursday? Well, if you've seen what's happening on insurrections or riots in LA, that is, I think that has slowed us down a few days. It wasn't supposed to, but we've got to put an end to that, that insurrection, and that's why you've got 7000 Marines really coming from. Think it's PS twenty nine in the Palm Springs, California area training 30\40, miles south of LA right now.

And, yeah, look, if the Marines come in, they're gonna they use rubber bullets, let me put it that way, so we hope they don't have to really be used in that capacity, because it's Still a little reality.

But what's happened is these protesters are actually doing more than protesting. They're violent, in a lot of cases, throwing cinder block, pieces rocks, bottles of ice water that are frozen, bottles of water and everything at ICE agents and military. Well, not even military, but the reserve troops, they're there. And so happening with that is they were to be paid, or have been paid through some agency Fund that, of course, they know where the source of the money is, and they shut that down.

But that area, guys, we're gonna have the Olympics there three years. Come on, going on. We got to do construction to do you've got fire and fire President Trump could do the governor picture,

doing those guys don't and you guys live in California. And so what I'm going to say is, I think we are moving forward, but  we got ot put an end to the insurrection

Now,  there are  other cities, keeping an eye on hot spots  we’ve got people there. What's going on? I think some of those areas before that, they'll be shut down before they even get started.

So  we'll have to see how that goes. Now, let's our timing. We heard this afternoon also our Iraqi spoke with contact in Iraq who spoke with and has been speaking with ALAK of the Central Bank of Iraq, and they theoretically renamed the CBI, SBI of Iraq – Sovereign Bank of Iraq - . But nobody calls it that. Yet it's still CBI to them. That's fine.

 But ALAK is saying that the Iraqi didn't they want to become an 80% digital currency. 80% digital today – ALAK said there's 78% it's only two more percent to go.  He indicated more days, 48 hours to get to get to 80% digital in Iraq. Okay, let's say that's v Wednesday /Thursday. By sometime Thursday, we could be there. He said we  could and would  start with the RV with notifications Friday or Saturday.

Obviously Friday, but I'll also tell you, will the parade in DC for Flag Day and Trump's birthday be a distraction for either numbers coming out or of possible exchanges that we do  and they do not want someone  going willy nilly it all over the country if there's insurrection going on.

So this was a move by the deep state not only to try to get ice to cut down or slowvdown or not do what they would pick up illegal alien criminals, but it was also a way to slow down and prevent the RV from taking place.

Now they're not going to win at that, but they did slow down, possibly for a day or two, if you want to look at it that way, I think that even told, everything is on a sort of an automatic timer, that I wonder if, if that timer could be stopped or restarted from time to time, all based on algorithms and everything like that. But I think their intention is to release the numbers to us either Friday or Saturday

As for rigth now -  that’swhat we got for today we’ve got Fri Sat  with possible exchanges Saturday -  or very early next week, which would be, what 16th and 17th? Right? Monday, Tuesday.

So let's hope we get notified Friday with the toll free numbers, I'll get the numbers out as we can to get your own emails, and then we'll also have it on the website  big call universe.com We'll put the 800 number on that as well, so you'll see there. All right, let's see, is there anything else? That is the gist of what we're talking about tonight?

Keep an eye out  for anything that you've seen that looks strange? I don't expect anything – I think it would get squashed if there was any more rioting - or insurrections and so on. They're not going to win it – the QFS -  inter connectivity of the Satellite StarLink system – everything is in place  to begin for us –

It’s all coming together – all of these  currencies around the globe are actually going to be digital as well, not just just the Dinar – USN – every body is going to have a digital currency. It's hard for me to tell exactly what role the cryptocurrencies are going to play yet, but they are part of this. Crypto is what we're going to experience with our new USN and our USTN currency and so on. So we'll see how that goes.

Oh, watch out Edmonton. I'm not watching it, but I'm hearing about it. They're doing really well. So let's see how they do tomorrow night in Florida, everything gets evened up in the hockey world.

Otherwise, guys, let's pray to call out. We're  ready for that, aren't we? Yes, let me see if I got a phone here.  Everybody. Have a great time tonight. Let's keep praying for peace, not only here, but the peace of Jerusalem. All right. God bless you all. Let's turn off the recording.

7 Reasons You Should Update Your Bank Account Password ASAP

7 Reasons You Should Update Your Bank Account Password ASAP

Jacob Wade GoBankingRates

According to a recent survey by GOBankingRates, 17% of Americans have never changed their bank account passwords.  This means the money parked in those accounts could be vulnerable to online thieves. With massive data breaches becoming a common trend, phishing scams and fraud schemes running rampant online, and password cracking software becoming more sophisticated, it’s important to stay up to date on securing your financial accounts.

If you haven’t changed your bank account password, here are seven reasons to do it today.

You Use the Same Password for Other Accounts

Most people have been guilty of this. With so many accounts moving online, it’s easy to use the same password over and over again. But this is a mistake that hackers want you to make, especially with your financial accounts.

Using the same password for multiple accounts puts you at more risk. If there is a data breach for any of your online accounts, hackers now have access to your password for that account. The first thing they will do is attempt to use this same username/password combo for multiple types of accounts, including your bank account.

If you have no other protections in place, they can quickly drain your accounts, leaving you with no money and no recourse. Always use unique passwords for each online account.

Be Real — It’s Been a While

While you don’t necessarily need to change your password every month, if you haven’t changed your bank account password in a few years, it might be time to mix it up. With data breaches across major companies, it is likely that an old password of yours might have been compromised. This can be quickly remedied with a password change for each of your financial accounts.

A good rule of thumb is to update your password every two years. Research from the Federal Trade Commission suggests that mandatory password changes aren’t as effective as just setting a strong password in the first place. But changing your password every few years can help keep your passwords protected from data breaches.

Your Password Is Saved In Your Browser — and Is Easier To Access

Why the Iraqi Dinar Isn't on Forex Yet. IQD Adjustment Timeline

Urgent: Why the Iraqi Dinar Isn't on Forex Yet. IQD Adjustment Timeline

Edu Matrix:  6-10-2025

Why isn't the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) traded on the Forex market? In this insightful video, we explore the critical factors keeping the IQD from gaining global traction.

Despite being listed on the forex market, the IQD faces limitations due to capital controls, lack of convertibility, and market confidence issues.

We dissect Iraq's currency auction system, the absence of a robust derivatives market, and the ongoing parallel forex operations. Dive deep into the essential reforms needed for Iraq to achieve IMF Article VIII status, which would pave the way for a fully convertible currency.

Stay tuned to discover how these developments could affect your investments!

Wednesday Coffee with MarkZ , joined by Andy Schectman. 06/11/2025

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good morning Mark Z, all the great Mods that make it go smoothly, and all the patriots here. Today is going to be a blessed day !

Member: Hi Mark- any news of the RV overnight?  Or bonds? Or Anything?

Member: Nader is saying the dinar didn't revaluation in country and also said they're not ready yet?

Member: some people had said the IQD already revalued in Iraq.

MZ: It did not….not yet.

Member: IQD is not on forex yet. When the budget is approved will it go on forex?

MZ: Its already on forex just can’t be traded yet. It still has restrictions.

Member: Sure seems like the Iraq Investment Forum this weekend would be a great event to announce new monetary policy. Would help with investor confidence.

MZ: It would be a great time to celebrate it. Iraq will launch 150 investment opportunities there in 12 sectors.  These are all ready to go….pre-approved economic opportunities in Iraq. In agriculture, oil, gas, manufacturing  ect…….they are exploding in growth as they diversify their economy.

MZ: “Parliament awaits the arrival of the budget tables”  they have not arrived yet. But we were told it would be mid to late week before we saw them. They may hold a extraordinary session to end this file urgently and get it passed.

Member: knowing Iraq…half of parliament won’t even show up.

MZ: There is a lot of chatter in Iraq. Here is one we need to watch because of the the timing . We are seeing some correlation between stablecoin and the digital dinar. With a potential rate of up to $3.22. But I still think it will be higher .

MZ: There is a major push from the US to get oil flowing again from the Kurdish region. Surprisingly there is pressure from UN members as well.

MZ: So we have the Economic investment forum happening the same times as the 4th meeting with the WTO. “Preparation for the 4th meeting of the ascension to the world Trade organization”  this is a negotiation meeting. Iraq has met all their obligations. They are also expected to have an international rate with no sanctions or restrictions on the dinar.  This is huge.

MZ: “Chairman of the Ports Authority: Revenues of the first 5 months of this year exceeded one trillion dinars”   this is their development road project starting at the port of Faw. They are just getting started but this is the beginning of a “gold rush”

Member: Iraq is giving new meaning to "covering all the bases"!!

MZ: “ Thomas Massey introduces a bill to audit America’s gold reserves” Massey is a Kentucky law maker and has introduced a bill to audit the gold reserves of the United States. We will watch this one as it moves through the system.

MZ: I am told by folks in DC that it has received wide support.

MZ: “Trump says China deal is done- “ this one is enormous.

MZ: Bond folks are relatively quiet

Member: With the bonds being Quiet..Maybe  that means that they signed a nda?  Or Are you being told to not speak about certain things. Essentially landed on to zip it?

 Member: I wonder  will the  riots move the EAS and RV forward or stall it?

Member: My gut feeling is martial law may begin on Saturday...

Member: So much happening-- good & "not so good"!!

Member: 3 days to June 14 ... while others are expecting chaos I'm expecting a major Breakthrough

Member: Hopefully it will all be done by July!

Member: I have a feeling everything will just all of a sudden happen at once.

Member:  happy birthday to everyone that has one today
