and three,,, I am trying like hell to sell my GZ stock so I can get more today. Wish me luck I am sure I will take a lost on the stock by lowering what I paid for them, but gain like hell on the Dinar. Later. Oh Yeah and three...........

Not that I want to cast any aspersions on our Iraqi Dinar investment being the absolute best investment any of us have ever made but I would like to know if there is any real, legitimate, possible scenario in which our hopes regarding the Iraqi Dinar pegging could be shattered

Like most of you, I have every reason to believe that the United States will do what ever it takes to make Iraq a self sufficient country and that stability and peace will be achieved there, sooner or later. It makes perfect sence to me that their currency will indeed increase in value and substancially so but could there be any conceivable circumstances by which we could lose on this investment.

As good as this all sounds and as much sence as it all makes to me that this is really a great investment that most likely will pay off very well sooner or later, is it reasonable for me to think that there is absolutely no way for this to turn out badly, no way to lose what so ever?

If anyone knows of any possible development or situation in Iraq or elsewhere that could result in us losing our investment, please reply to this post.

YEEEEEEEHHHAAAAAA!!!!! I am so FREAKIN' EXCITED! I heard about Zarqawi this morning...then had to act normal around my friend (went shopping)...who told me NEVER TO TELL HER ABOUT ANY OF MY ONLINE NONSENSE AGAIN! AAAHHHAAAHAAAA!! Boy is SHE gonna be sorry!!! I DID casually bring up Zarqawi to her, and she said "Isn't that wonderful news? Now maybe they can get their country going!" All the while I'm grinning like an crazed id**t from ear to ear!! I'm sure she thinks I had something funny in my Fruit Loops this morning the way I was acting!

It only goes up from here my Dinar-lovin'-family!

The ministries are filled...Iraqi's most wanted is dead...next is to start integrating Iraq in with the rest of the world IMO!

Just like in the IIF, I think that member was right when they said "it's gonna happen over night with no warning"....!!! Let it be one night soon!

I'm like a ball-o-fire at the mo'! (Yup! that's me!)

O-Yes! and in THAT order! LOL!


Come on Baby! I'm Ready!
Tiff

P.S. Since when do we have a SMILEY LIMIT? I just had to erase a bunch! LOL!

Interesting,

No doubt many of us have asked this same question ever since Saddam was ousted from Iraq, and over the years, each potential obstacle which could reverse the value of the dinar has been eliminated. Think about it, what could anyone come up with that would change the current direction of Iraq? Saddam being found innocent and returns to Iraq? No, I doubt it. How about Iran invading Iraq? No, I doubt it, not while US is there, and they will be there long after the peg.

Seriously, I have gone through every possible scenario and I must say, I cannot think of one single thing which could reverse the economy. Remember, it was already severely reversed when Saddam was in power, and got worse over this past period of uncertainty. No we see democracy, a real large turnout in voting, no the goverment is official, and all positions filled for now, what is there left to do?

Granted, there is a huge amount of rebuilding to do, but this is all productive and will further contribute to the economy. With outside investments lining up, never mind more forgiven debt and pledges of more loans, this is almost too good to be true. So with all that has happened, I can honestly say, I can't think of one single event which could derail all the progress we have seen to date. I welcome anyone to find something that could reverse the value, so lets hear some ideas, lets see if everyone feels as most of us do here.

Good luck to all, Mike

Mike...Your words sound as sweet to my ears as my wedding vows did!!! (Well, the second time around anyhooo!)


LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!

Hi
I am aggree with you my 200% there is nothing will go back so we all are in the same way of thinking .

Please you guys keep doing what you guys are best at it.

god blessing you all

i'll b the first to admit that i can be a bit skeptical when it comes to something good happening to me.....as in pips....2 failed marriages.etc.,and etc.....lol....but i have to agree with u here mike...i can't see anything standing in the way of the peg....and i think it will peg soon also.....with the last 2 appointments filled and approval by Iraq's parliament...and the killing of al-zaquiri.....its like the old milwaukee beer commercial....it don't get any better than this.....lol....hats off to the coalition troops there...also to the people of iraq for their coming forth and giving this information of where he was...it would seem that the people of Iraq are getting tired of all this fighting and want to move forward also....so i agree with u mike...can't see anything stopping us now....GO DINARS....Pat

Absolutely superb news guys, the best we could have hoped for. I can only confirm as Mike said above we're now at the stage where we can't lose in this. A zero lopping or a reprint were m main worries months ago but this isn't going to happen, be like sticking 2 fingers up to Blair, Bush etc.

We're almost there team. Keep smiling.

Analysis: Iraq PM gets double good news

By SALLY BUZBEE, Associated Press Writer 12 minutes ago

CAIRO, Egypt - It was a day filled with rare good news for
Iraq's new prime minister: Not only did he announce the death of the country's most-feared terror leader, he also won approval for new ministers on security, charged with stopping the violence in Iraq.

With that rapid series of breakthroughs, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki firmly established his control, setting the stage for what he pledges will be a sharp crackdown to restore order. U.S. officials seemed overjoyed, keenly aware that their ability to trim the number of U.S. troops depends on his success.

The three posts that al-Maliki named Thursday are crucial to that effort — the defense minister to run the army, the interior minister to run the national police and the national security minister to advise the prime minister.

The posts had been deadlocked for weeks by squabbling among Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds. But the new ministers were quickly approved by Parliament on Thursday, just minutes after al-Maliki announced the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq.

U.S. military and Iraqi officials said the timing was coincidental; indeed, Iraqi political leaders said the final agreement on the new ministers came late Wednesday, before news of al-Zarqawi's death was known.

If anything, that made the achievement even more impressive.

In the end, al-Maliki — widely viewed as a pragmatist — apparently was able to break the Sunni-Shiite-Kurdish logjam over the posts by picking technocrats, less likely to aggravate either old,
Saddam Hussein-era prejudices or the country's virulent new sectarian divides.

The Interior Ministry was the hottest button.

Sunnis had accused the previous interior minister, a Shiite, of allowing Shiite death squads to operate from inside his ministry, and were determined to get a more neutral figure this time.

The new interior minister, Jawad al-Bolani, is also a Shiite but — as an independent member of the dominant Shiite United Iraqi Alliance — is considered so neutral that no Sunnis objected to his name. Almost a political unknown, he had worked, he said, as an engineer in the Iraqi air force until 1999.

The new defense minister, Iraqi Army Gen. Abdul-Qader Mohammed Jassim al-Mifarji, is a Sunni Arab unaffiliated with any party. He was thrown out of the military and Saddam's Baath Party in 1991 after he criticized the invasion of Kuwait and received a seven-year prison term, he said.

"As a defense minister I will work for all Iraqis and will not work according to my tribal, religious and ethnic background," he said after he was named.

The new national security minister, Sherwan al-Waili, who will advise the prime minister on security matters, also is a Shiite but also considered neutral.

With those three key Cabinet posts now filled, al-Maliki can presumably turn to the still-overwhelming tasks ahead — including reining in militias and getting Iraqi forces trained and cohesive enough to slowly take over from the U.S. military.

For an Iraqi public that craves security, that would be good news. And al-Maliki's announcement of the death of al-Zarqawi could create a well of good will and support, just what he needs to take on other, difficult security tasks like shutting down militias.

Yet despite Thursday's success, no one expects the way to be easy for al-Maliki, a veteran insider in Iraq's oldest Shiite political party who spent years in exile after receiving a death sentence from Saddam's regime.

While his more pragmatic stance may have helped resolve the Cabinet stalemate, al-Maliki still will need much help from both his fellow Iraqis and other Arabs, all working to "take advantage of the gap left behind by al-Zarqawi to gain back his followers," said one political analyst, Mohammed El-Sayed of the Al-Ahram Center for Strategic Studies in Cairo.

Thursday's events make clear that al-Maliki is determined to try.
