Do any of you read the DinarOutpost site? I have been reading their posts about the dinar and there seems to be such a difference in opinions. While this site is very positive, theirs seems to be extremely conservative and not nearly as encouraging. Any thoughts on that?

Any thoughts? Yea, don't go there, lol.

Seriously though, IIF used to very downbeat on the dinar but it's a lot more positive there now. Same with AB forum. Guess it differs depending on the people.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The Iraqi government announced a two-day vehicle ban in parts of Baghdad starting on Friday night as thousands of Shi'ites converged on the capital to mark the martyrdom of a revered 8th century Imam.

Some 1,000 Shi'ites were killed in a stampede during last year's ceremony after a crowd of faithful converging on the northern Kadhimiya district was panicked by rumors of a suicide bomber.

It was the highest daily death toll since the end of the U.S.-led war in 2003 to oust Saddam Hussein.

The office of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki told Reuters the ban would be enforced in about 11 districts around Kadhimiya, on both sides of the Tigris River, from 9 p.m. (1700 GMT) on Friday until 6 a.m. (0200 GMT) on Monday.

U.S. and Iraqi forces have launched a crackdown on sectarian bloodshed between majority Shi'ites and minority Sunnis in the capital that has killed thousands since February and raised fears the country is sliding toward civil war.

Did you know there is a vast region of Iraq where no U.S. troops have been killed, enemy terrorist activity has been negligible, there are few U.S. troops deployed, it is safe for Westerners to walk the streets, new business investment is taking off and there is a stable, democratic government providing more than adequately for the regions security?

The good — no, make that outstanding — news from Kurdistan is that life in the northern Iraqi region is well on the way to normalcy. It’s not your fault for not knowing. The relentlessly negative Western media have not told the Kurds’ story.

This is the same region whose people Saddam Hussein tried to wipe off the face of the Earth. His regime murdered some 200,000 Kurds with new-fangled chemical weapons and old-fashioned thuggery. After the first Gulf War and the debacle in which the first President Bush failed to provide protection against Saddam’s helicopter squadrons, the Kurds recovered and began to rebuild their society under cover of a U.S. and Coalition-enforced “no-fly zone.” But fear of Saddam’s regime still was a powerful dampening force.

When the U.S. invasion of Iraq came in 2003, Kurds joined with U.S. forces to topple Saddam. Today they tightly control their own regional border, mostly keeping out foreign terrorists who can more easily penetrate Iraq’s larger border and make their way to Baghdad to wreak havoc. The rebuilding process in Kurdistan is going so well that some of the region’s leaders now are engaged in an economic development and “thank-you” tour of the United States.

The Kurds’ desire for complete independence is, of course, a well-known and tragic story. During the past century, they’ve found themselves under the often brutal rule of Turkey, Syria, Iran and Saddam’s Iraq. But they’ve made the pragmatic choice to participate in the new Iraqi government, because they are in a pretty rough corner of the globe. Their formula for success is pretty simple: Secure their borders and keep out terrorists, push as many governance decisions to the local level as possible, and promote economic development.

Their message to the United States: Stay the course. Provide to Baghdad and other trouble spots the same security umbrella that made Kurdistan’s success over more than a decade possible. Secure borders, one province at a time, until foreign terrorists are swept out.

Don’t try to apply a TV-episode, video-game attention span to a security and rebuilding effort that will take years. It is good advice for success — from a region of Iraq where success seems to be occurring.

I have been unable to post since Tuesday night but thought I would give it another try today and am now able to post. I was on a conference call on Tuesday night and the organizer heard from the CBI that the dinar would be at $2.00 when it hit the market. I do not know who he spoke with at the CBI
but that would sure be great if it happened.

Hey Steakman,

That truly is great news! Before I get too excited, could you please tell me what conference call this was and how does the guy have contact with the CBI?

Thanks,

Hi Adam What does IIF stand for? I would like to check out this forum

I was wondering, what if it does open really high at $2 or more, and an individual would like to cash it all out. How would they go about paying as little tax as possible?

Would it be most beneficial to becom incorporated and have the corp. cash it in? Or would the corp have to pay the same taxes?

What if they cashed it in and then immediately invested 1 mill or more? I read somewhere that those who invest 1 mill or more are tax exempt.

Any ideas? I know that there are some tax breaks out there to cover us.

Thanks,

Monica
