I think I can speak for most of us here when I say that I'm simply convienced that a revalue of the new Iraqi dinar will happen sooner or later and that I for one am certainly hoping for sooner and therefore I keep searching for reasons to support my hopes. No one here knows when the revalue will happen or if it will in fact absolutely, positively for a certainty ever really happen but we do have many sound logical reasons to believe that it could and most certainly that it should. Why else would we have invested in this opportunity in the first place as I assume you have as well? Indeed, why else would you be reading in this forum if you have not purchased some of the new Iraqi dinars also?

So, which is it? Are you in here simply to poke fun at our well founded hopes or have you just given up hoping in your investment and would like us to join you as misery loves company. Either way, it's a waste of your's and our time.

Oh! and to answer your question, yes, I'm sure if the R/V does not happen today or tomorrow we will hopfully find some new reasonable and logical reason to place our exspectation on some other possible date, lest we become like you and give up all hope and if that were to happen to me, I'm sure I'd stop wasting my time reading this forum and I certainly would not come here in an attempt to distroy any hope others my still have you evil so and so!

Sorry, I couldn't resist that at the end. I don't know if you're an evil so and so or not but that last post you made makes you seem a little bit like one but I'm sure you're just frustrated as many of us are and that is understandable but as long as there is sound reason to expect this R/V to happen then, don't give up hoping, it will happen when it happens. Until then we are enjoying ourselves as we anticipate it and contiue to look for news that points to it happening very soon.

This may be one of the best responses I've seen yet to a naysayer. Well put.
Folks, this is a SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT......PERIOD! I believe it will happen soon as well, and as Rodney so eloquently states, there are facts that have been published or otherwise proven which lead us to believe that way. But speculation in and of itself is founded on theory and risk (that's not just me that says that.....so does Merriam-Webster). So all those who continue to pick on the theories (aka "rumors") that are proposed for certain dates, etc., please STOP because that's all we can do until after the RV becomes a fact......
So in other words, please be nice.......or go jump in a lake!

Good Morning all...well, let's get started....

There are those of us who have become obsessed with this. We have forgotten our friends, family, even co-workers (checking here at work ) and have alllowed this investment to overpower our daily lives.

When it happens, it happens. We cannot "force" it, or "wish" it to happen (Yes, I watched the "secret" video)....

Farewell to all of you, I have decide to end my membership here and re-focus my life on what really matters.... My family!

Keep up the good work everybody! Try to be nice to each other!

The Mods have my e-mail, and when Neno sends me that long-awaited-you-know-what-happened message, I will return to find out where the reval party is!!

Until then, Best wishes to all!

Keep the Faith

I for one have not become obsessed. I only spend about 15 minutes a day here and not every day at that unless I post and of course that takes a little more of my time. I hope that nobody is allowing this to be there main focus in life, that would be sad. There is so much more going on as you so aptly point out, like family and friends and so much more. Sorry to see you go but do enjoy your break and why not just look in ever once in a while.

People, Friends, and Dinar Family,

We ALL need to just Chill out a bit. We can not start fighting with each other like what I have read today or we will lower ourselves to the level of other forums. Our dreams WILL come true as will the dreams of the people in Iraq but in it's own time. So it is a Great risk of being pounded here I will place some thoughts here for you to ponder.

1. We ALL want this R/V to happen, some really need it, but NONE need it
as much as the Iraq people.

2. Nation building is not an easy thing to do and in Most cases you only get
One shot at getting it done right if at all. They are doing it while dodging
bullets and bombs, perhaps a bit stressfull? And Knowing the World is
watching your every move could prove a tad bit un-nerving.

3. It Does take time to "scroll" past quoted reposted stuff and see a One
word comment on the thing but that is why we "scroll" past them right?

4. We ALL have invested in a dream of just being out of debt and it is the
closest many of us have Ever seen before.

5. The bankers need to be trained to do their job the right way.

6. The 10,000 hand out needs to be worth more than it is now.

Point being is that we are a family here and families DO have a tiff every now and then and it is normal for this to happen. But we are close and some who are stressing over this may just need some help holding on for a bit longer. If it gets to troublesome to "Scroll" past a quoted repost take a chill pill. If you can handle deleting the "Bulk" of the quoted post and just leave the part you are inspired by please do.

BUT we must ALL step back once in a while and take the time to word things properly so as to NOT torque each other off. Please my Dinar Family lets chill out and watch this "Once in a Lifetime" event happen. And Yes we need to brace for a delay here and there and I don't find that a bad thing, not a good thing but not a bad thing. Lets face it, we Know it will happen so lets not fight about the when part. After all we are not the ones in the line of fire.

Ok go ahead and kill me now.

I love seeing articles that show Iraq getting outside of it's own misery and participating in larger world events. It's all connected and one thing leads to another....

I believe that a few things still need to be put into place before the reval. All of these things are schduled to happen in the next 45 days. Here is the list:

1)HCL
2)FIL
3)CBI bank training
4)Final ICI meeting on the 11th of December
5)Agreement on Saudi and Kuwait debt
6)Iraqi government cabinet reshuffel

I believe these have to be done to tie up all of the loose ends.
In the mean time I'm working on buying more.
