I was thinking as to why would Iraq even consider a 1:1 or greater revalue to benefit all the outside investors and having to cough up trillions of dollars which they don't even have. And this argument concerning the oil that the revenues from this commodity will take care of financing such a high revalue can't be right because it will take years before they can pump out enough oil to benefit the country to the point where they could perhaps cover some of that revalue of 1:1. It seems to be more and more difficult to me to understand how they could ever come up with this kind of money to support this hoped for revalue just to make outside invetors rich and the average Iraqis still not benefiting themselves. It just doesn't make any sense. I personally have a few million IQD's and hope for the best but as I see all these different arguments I am afraid that this is another losing venture. I really hope for a miracle though.

All the best wishes to all here,

Remember Quwait (sp) ....When Sadaam's army retreated, if my memory serves me right, the oil fields were all torched and it was left in total chaos.

They started out by forgiving all mortgages etc for the people. That didn't make the IMF etc. happy and their currency was pegged real low. Now they are what...3.3 /1?

Also, I understand that when they revalued the Afghani (sp) theyt revalued it at 100 times over night. A country whose main exportable product is opium.
That was totally unexpected by the way.

Yes yes..this is info I heard at Freedinar. So what. It is true. So to me, the key is to look at what the world has already experienced in a similar scenario and apply it to the present scenario to arrive at a reasonable probability of what might happen with the dinar.

I am not one that necessarily buys the timeframes being given. I will be happy, happy, happy if they happen. But I am in for the long haul and believe we will see a good return .

So, Sunshine, keep on shinin'. Hold em....unload them 1/3 at a time like has been suggested.

BILL

US Energy Secretary: Oil Production Recovering
US Energy Secretary: Iraq's Oil Production Recovering

The U.S. Secretary of Energy says it may take about six months to restore Iraq's oil output to pre-war levels of 2.5 million barrels a day.

Samuel Bodman made the comments in Baghdad Tuesday, where he called Iraqi estimates that they could boost production to three million barrels a day "optimistic."

Bodman also said Iraq is working on a new "hydrocarbons law" intended to set a legal framework to attract and regulate badly needed investment by foreign oil companies.

He said Iraqi officials hope to finish the law by the end of this year.

Iraq has the second largest oil reserves in the Middle East, but oil production suffers from years of sanctions, war, and insurgent attacks on key infrastructure.



I'm not very good at math so I'll let someone else run the #'s. Thsi is only talking about oil. Now take the above referenced barrels per day multiply that by the cost per barrel. Now extrapolate that (love that word) over a year. Now those of you who think Iraq can't support a high reval on the trillions of dinars in circulation are crazy.

Take a peek at this link...so called 'expert predictions' that weren't correct!

Came from IIF...a member was advised against investing in the .com opportunity...he DID NOT listen and made a truck load of money...he used his noggin'!

I found it VERRYY interesting!

and besides it's not like as soon as the reval hits EVERY dinar will be cashed in. It doesn't work that way. It could take years for some of that currency to be exchanged, and as far as the currency our government holds, that is all "on paper" anyway, GW is not going to go the bank in a semi truck and say "can I get that in 20's"
