I'd love to join you in Uruguay, but I'm pretty well set up in Thailand. Did I mention the women are friendly and beetches aren't to bad either. lol. Maybe we can visit each other. I'm going to have my Thai wife exchange my Dinar for me, no taxes for the Thais. Slowly and at different locations so as not to attract attention. Then its off to the gold shops. If you buy jewelry and wear it, you don't need to claim it through customs and their gold is 92 percent in jewelry. Let me know if you need a cash in person. Can probably arrange one here for about $10 a day. Or if you want to be really generous $20. lol

That's freakin' awesome, dude. I think you just might be getting a call when this is over.

Anytime, my man, anytime. I have 5 empty cabins, with elect and running water in a beautiful country setting. Rice and corn fields for far as the eye can see. sk

How close is the beach?

What do you think this means, Rev?

It seems to indicate they've got all the issues between the blocs resolved through secret deals and they're just waiting for Talibani to get back to hold the National Conference, which will be pretty much just a signing ceremony/photo op.

Where is this info from, if I may ask...thanks!

Sounds good to me. I got my eye on a little cabin in Utah.

Didn't mean to leave the rest of you folks out. All will be welcome.

Revbo. Sorry to say we are a ways form any ocean beaches. 400 miles probably. But that is not to say we can't take excursion or have a place at the beach to. Since money will not be a problem. Beautiful beach with lots of small Islands. Perhaps we could find one to buy. lol. sk

I saw it posted in a chatroom yesterday. Not sure where the link is, but I'm familiar with bugsy, and he doesn't make stuff up. If I come across a link, I'll post it.

I've always wanted my own island. Never thought it'd be in Thailand, but if it saves me a couple million in taxes, I could definitely be persuaded.

More on HCL. Looks like we're going with the 2007 draft.

[clay] Iraq Kurds ready for talks over crisis, oil: deputy PM Iraq Kurds ready for talks over crisis, oil: deputy PM By Suadad al-Salhy | Reuters – 4 hrs ago Email Print BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's Kurdistan is ready to restart negotiations with Baghdad to end their crisis, focusing on a long-delayed oil law to hand regions more say in managing energy resources, Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister Rosh Nuri al-Shawish, a Kurd, said. The positive tone from Shawish signaled the Shi'ite-led central government and self-governed Kurdistan may be edging towards resolving their dispute over oil, territory and power-sharing that is straining Iraq's uneasy federal union. Shawish told Reuters Kurdistan believes part of the dispute can be ended by passing an amended 2007 draft of an oil and gas law, which all parties had agreed to as part of broader power-sharing among Shi'ite, Sunni and Kurdish blocks. "Approving this draft and adding some amendments which are agreed on by all parties ... is the proper way to resolve this," the deput

You may have seen the Iraqi Business News article yesterday, impugning our investment. (Link attached) Here's Enorrste's response to it. Good stuff. My response is below Steve's.

[link to dinaralert.webs.com]

Enorrste answers questions posed by a columnist at Iraq Business News.com -



[link to www.iraq-businessnews.com]



1. If the dinar becomes 1,000 times more valuable, it will become 1,000 times more expensive to do business in Iraq. Do you think this would be sustainable?

Answer: This is sustainable because the current rate of the dinar in Iraq is artificially low. The rate was $3.50 during and prior to the Saddam Hussein regime. It was lowered intentionally by the UN in order to drive out the profitability of terrorism. I would ask this Question: In reducing the value of the dinar by 1000 times (or more, actually), why didn’t everyone flood into Iraq to invest and buy? Iraq’s economy should have boomed with everything so cheap, right? Yet that did not happen. We may therefore safely state that the premise of the poser’s question is inappropriate. The reason it is inappropriate is that the current rate is artificially low and it is NOT internationally tradable. Bottom line: investment in Iraq is currently made in DOLLARS, not dinars. End of argument.



2. Would you buy dinars at 1,000 times the current price? If not, why do you expect someone to buy your dinars at 1,000 times what you paid for them?

Answer: I will probably buy dinars at 1000 times the current rate because I believe that eventually (within a couple of years) the rate will reach $3.50, meaning that I will triple (plus) my investment again.



3. If there was any possibility of a 1,000x revaluation, would dinar sellers be so keen to sell their stock to you? Is it possible that they think their mark-up is the best profit they can make?

Answer: This guy is ignorant! Sellers of dinars make a COMMISSION on the sale regardless of the rate. Their markup will remain the same WHATEVER the rate! Their profit is the same WHATEVER the rate! Duh! They are money exchangers. They are not in this for profit ON the rate.



4.Many investment professionals promote their ideas and “talk their book”. Why has no accomplished investor promoted the idea of massive gains from the dinar?

Answer: There are a number of people who have spoken affirmatively about the dinar as an investment. The poser of this question has not taken the time to find them. One was on TV last year claiming that it would be the best single investment in a lifetime (!) and he has a regular TV investment show that runs DAILY! He dropped the topic for some reason. We can only guess what it was, but I presume that he was told to “lay off” on dinar talk. Therefore we might not be surprised that there is little more among the normal investment community on this issue. I might add, incidentally, that I’ve been told that Trump has $30 million in dinars and that the Clintons have over $2 million in dinars. I have no reason to doubt this since the former was printed in USA Today over a year ago. Therefore, let’s ask the poser this question: If this is good enough for Trump, why isn’t it good enough for you?



5. The 1,000x rumour has been circulating for many years, but the forex markets have not reacted by driving up dinar prices significantly. On what basis do you believe you’re more “in the know” than the market?

Answer: Once again the poser is ignorant. The dinar is NOT traded on the open market, including the FOREX! Therefore, the premise of the question is false. Second, since all dinars are initially sold from the CBI, the CBI is therefore in control of supply. With a very limited market (physical dinar dealers only) it is quite easy for Shabibi to control the price. There is NO SPECULATIVE MARKET FOR THE DINAR! DUH!



6.Does scepticism of massive gains from the dinar make you angry? If so, and if you think you’re going to make 1,000 times your money, what is the reason for your anger?

Answer: I am not angry with people who are ignorant.



7.Do you seek information that confirms your opinion, and dismiss information that challenges your opinion?

Answer: Absolutely not. I have welcomed challenges from dinar investors and have answered all who have dared to approach me on the issue. In addition, I take pride in being able to state without equivocation that we do not “bury” articles just because they appear to refute our position. In fact, we welcome ALL articles and deal with them just as we do anything else: honestly!


ReVbo:
May I add to the first question, Why would everything become 1000x more expensive in Iraq? Just as Bakri said, as the dinar becomes more valuable, products and services retain their inherant value. The price just loses three zeroes. i.e. If a car costs 20m dinar now, it will cost 20,000 dinar post-RV. It seems pretty disingenuous of the writer to say that the price of everything stays the same after the money changes. That's just basic economics. A house in the US cost $5000 50 years ago. As our money became less valuable, the price of the same house went up. Duh.

Two hours ago, they were ready to begin talks. Now, they've already begun. I'm guessing they're actually already finished, and we'll hear about it early next week, if not sooner.

Well, just today, I've read articles that say he's too sick too return and still in Germany, that he will return in 10 days to hold the national conference, and that he's already in Iraq holding meetings. Can't trust anything you read from those people.

And just like that, we're back on track. Maybe. Amazing how things change minute to minute. Then again, I guess it's not too terribly different from here. Can't trust the media anywhere.

It is expected to call President Jalal Talabani returned to his country of travel therapy to hold a national meeting after announcing that the atmosphere has become appropriate to hold the meeting.

And endorsed by all the political blocs principle of dialogue to get out of the current political crisis by identifying problems and finding solutions the ceilings of time.
