Let’s get some common sense flowing today, shall we?
It was rumored that all Dinar sales would stop last week. Didn’t happen.
It was rumored that the RV had to happen within 30 days of the elections. Didn’t happen.
It was rumored that X, Y, and Z dates were set in stone. Well, X,Y, and Z came and went, with no RV.
Let’s disregard all that stuff, and look at what Adam Montana likes to give you: news and speculation founded in reality, not a phony date or rate.
My personal opinion is that we are very close to seeing some movement on the Iraqi Dinar. I come to this conclusion from reading the CBI articles, the IMF articles, the UN briefings, and from discussing this complicated topic with contacts that I’ve made over the years. Here’s a quick summary of the latest:
I’ve said it all along, I really don’t see anyone beating Maliki in these upcoming elections at the end of this week. I think the Iraqi government knows this as well, so why would they figure the elections into their time frame for re-evaluation? It can happen after the elections just as well as before, so don’t read March 7 into your timeline.
We DO know that the CBI is officially re evaluating the currency. This is great news, but it does not put a date on the decision.
We also know that the ISX is stopping trading for a short time during the elections. It’s obvious that the elections ARE a big deal, and everyone wants them to go smooth.
I personally think that the RV will be after the elections for that reason. If they announce it now, the people go nuts, and afterwards the election results are tainted with rumors of foul play, people not voting because they were in line at the bank, etc. There’s too much that can go wrong if the elections are influenced or overshadowed by a major revaluation of the exchange rate.
So, where does that leave us? If we can’t pin down a date, can we pin down a rate?
Maybe… check this out.
I’d like to take a moment to caution the hopefuls out there… YES, there is a chance that we’re going to get a ton of money back on the Iraqi Dinar revaluation! NO, that doesn’t mean you are guaranteed to turn $1000 into $1,000,000 overnight or even over the course of several years by buying Iraqi Dinar. Here’s a great thread that was just posted this morning on the DinarVets forum showing that we might see an increase from 1180:1 to 1000:1.
In the meantime, the central bank will continue the policy of stabilizing the exchange rate dinar to the dollar, “Al-Watan” that the central bank seeks to raise the value of the Iraqi dinar of 1180 dinars per U.S. dollar to 1000 dinars per U.S. dollars, within the month of June…
Don’t get me wrong here… I’m not saying this is official, or it is set in stone. but the FACT is it is possible that you’ll only see a 15% return on your money. If that happens, my advice is to be happy you didn’t lose 50% by sticking your money in the stock market.
Nevertheless – our speculative venture continues, and this ride aint over till the fat lady sings!
Best regards, and stay tuned!
