waiting on announcement and Maliki's speech and confirmation thru the five govenment agencies and IMF suspension of their next loan; they will not need it....

Hello everyone. If this is true, that Iraq has decided they do not need the IMF loan, it will be the only example of an emerging economy turning down an IMF loan or assistance that I have ever heard of. I do not know everything, but this is truely an indication of the economy in Iraq and how much money these people really have. This is very unusal. And, it works for us. Thank you.

I agree completely...the difference between RC and other forums though is that when rumors don't pan out....people don't fling doo all over the place...they just say "Oooo..it's OK." and they line up obediently for another story like starving homeless people in a soup kitchen line.

That's right SeaRay. I will line up for the next rumor. I am in this for the fun , excitment , mystery, and money. I don't know why you find joy in tearing peoples hopes and dreams down. What a fun person you must be in real life. Gotta go now and see if I missed another worthless bit of info somewhere!

this weekend is the most exciting one there ever was, i can't wait for Monday. Though this seems unreal, it would have been a pitty not to spend a few bucks and get a chance like this. Think about it.

Is it odd to anyone else that every time this happens...it's on a weekend?
Several days of un-opposed posting and hyping before it all comes crashing back to reality when nothing happens Monday...or Tuesday....or Wednesday...or Thursday....or the next two weeeks....or the next three months....until........the next big exciting, hype filled weekend. Why is this? What purpose is being served here? Now..if I'm wrong..I'll be man enough to apologize...but if I'm right...then three months down the road you people will have to at least admit that there may be a teeny little chance that you're being manipulated. Now...notice that I have not bashed any single poster...but I bet that this dose of reality post gets deleted.

I figure it's because everyone is available, probably not working and access to their personal computers.

Lots of folks have trouble with the "Devils Advocate" in a group. They view the person as negative when in fact the opposing position forces the group to work harder to expose weaknesses. I used to hate the DA. Made me mad, always telling me why a thing wouldn't work. Tnen i came to appreciate that the opposing view either had merit or it did not. Never hurts to listen to a persons point of view. It couls help make ones position stronger in the end. The trouble with this subject is it's unchartered territory. And it's not "OUR" project. We're on the sidelines spectating and trying to anticipate the next steps. Well thats kinda like mind-reading or psychic channeling. If anyone here knows how to do that, jump in. We need help. Relax guys! We'll either be rich or everything stays the same. The glass is either half empty of half full. I'm a half full!

This is a off topic question-after you clear cookies, can anyone log on to the CBI site? I've not been able to since yesterday morning.


Thanks,

Had no problems. In fact I just got on it.
It is on the Home Page of this Forum.
Just click on the fourth box right side that says CBI's Dinar Rates.

Have I really torn down your dreams or have I simply facilitated the kind of realistic thinking that makes your dreams seem a little less likely. If you really like dreaming so much...here...I'll give you something to dream about...if you don't already buy lottery tickets then start buying them because I got a call from a friend last night who told me that you will win the lottery three weeks from now. Dream away!!!!

Very good post.

I think many feel the same way.

Personally, I believe there is no reason for anyone to be manipulated.

Not at this point, anyway.

Hmmmm..sounds like damage control. No source...subsequently questioned by a highly logical statement....damage control immediately goes up.

.98 EUROS or that great of a percentage of. depending on the date and rate of the euro. in other words those sources who have said between 1.25 and 1.30 usd are merely putting the value in usd and not euro since the euro fluxuates from day to day between those two usd amounts.

Actually I have heard it to have been seen.
