RECAP
 
No there was not an RV for those tuning in late we talked about the rumors in the community over the weekend and every day
There is no such thing as an "In country RV"...it doesn't happen that way...it won't happen that way....IT is not true...RV's happen instanteously..very quickly...happen so people can not take advantage and know that it is happening and go ahead and go out and buy the currency and create what we call in this business an arbitrage situation...which means it is a riskless transaction...which means you buy it and sell it in the same transaction and you make money on it ...that doesn't happen
The Banking system works very hard to not let that happen
Why?  Because they make money on everything we cash in and everything we do
Theres a percentage that they get.....they will never let that happen because that's how they make their money
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain and the wizard of Oz...not there..don't look for the dream...
Keep your head focused on the News and Facts...so that you can understand when someone gives you a rate 12.00 etc
you can say NO that is a lie...it doesn't work....
This will come out without FANFARE and without causing commotion and if you think this kind of rate of $12 or $13 would not cause commotion across the world...It would stun the economies across the world... you are poorly mistaken about the international economy...that just doesn't happen ..
The rate will be in a range anywhere from over a dollar and up to 20% over what Kuwait is at (around 4.00)......that's the high end from a common sense that will not shock the economy...the guess is it is going to be pretty close to Kuwait because that is there neighbor they are not going to go ahead and shock them from that standpoint...they can build on that slowly after the fact and as the years progress.....Know that in your hearts so when you hear rumors it just doesn't happen that way  

Reminder to go to our site and download the Document
"Future of Iraq" Project - it will give you the balance you need to feel safe with your investment and how close we really are to the end
But we have to use common sense with this investment and please know in your hearts these kind of rumors are simply not true. 

If you hear rumors and you are not sure go to www.cbi.iq and check the rate, we will also send an emergency Mailer, Tweet it, and our lines will be open immediately to celebrate and help you with all the details.  

Thank you all for being on the call tonight we are just going to give you a dose of reality and common sense and little bit of STRAIGHT TALK 

Heres what is happening in the NEWS WORLD....

CBI - rehashing articles - They are out there talking about getting the bank new notes out there in Sept.
This should be no shock to anyone who comes to our calls regularly because a week ago we read the same article that actually talked to the Finance Committee who said this is what's going to happen....
they have a time schedule now for the CBI....they can do that release those notes from anywhere from now til Sept.
that's what they want to do...they want to start releasing these notes..
they have to be very careful because when they release these notes they have to have some value to them especially if they put coins out so there has to be a steady process...he's giving himself a time window to do this in
He can it any point in time that he wants to from that period..he can wait all the way til Sept. or at any point from now 

Shabibi needs to see what's going on in his economy and he will do it so there is not a shock and the pressures of inflation are gone from that standpoint
Don't freak out about these things and these articles...
We have already gone over these articles over and over..they will continue to rehash the old articles educating the people..they want people to know there is new currency coming out ...and you will see alot of these articles
They will hit everyday...anything you see with the words "introducing in Sept" it is NOT a new article....its an OLD article and they are just talking to the people and the street vendors as we would do in our newspapers if it happened here..we would go out and find people and say hey the new money is coming out...what do you think?  Then articles are going to flow and you will get opinions of people and what they think...

We have had many articles out there educating the people and they are starting to catch the eyes of the people out there
and it is training process.....
CBI is on track doing what they are doing...and ready to go  

Government is going thru and checking things off the things they need to get done

We talked about Kuwait tonight and their willingness to get things done with Kuwait and get out of chapter 7
There seems to be a genuine feeling that this is kinda over between both sides
All the articles that have come out came out are great 
They are waiting for Maliki to come into town
My guess is they are going to sign some papers...have some fanfare....have some hugs and kisses..take alot of pictures...and they are going to say Kuwait gives you your blessing - we'll let you out of chapter 7...go do what you need to do with the UN to make this official...etc
that will be great for them...part of what needs to happen as they become international people
This needs to happen probably before the end of the month for the  Arab summit...within the next couple of weeks this is probably going to be the Crown Jewel to get everybody there for the Arab conf
to let them know we are already helping our people  

We talked about the National Conference....talked about they are agreeing on things.....the hold up ...the bargaining chip is the Hashemi and the Ministers...those are the two bargaining chips Maliki has the ministers - thats his bargaining chip
The Iraqi List has Hashemis as theirs and they are holding on strong..they are agreeing to everything else but those issues
Eventually those issues will be agreed to because they need to have this conference and they will figure it out   We talked about the two posititions Interior and Security need to be put in place are probably the two most powerful positions in Iraq as they control the army and control alot of the security in Iraq...
We talked about people are already marching.....tired of the bombs blowing up...they want to feel secure....now that they just learned they are going to be getting some money....they want the bombs to stop and want their people to take care of them from a security standpoint...they are over it...you would be too if you went thru 8 yrs of war and all they have been thru
It's a Big issue for them....Maliki has the pressure of people on him now and eventually that will have to be settled very quickly
because you do not want your people having risings to get people up there to end up  thinking that want to replace you from that standpoint...Remember they are politicians and they do want to keep their job and eventually they will get rid of all of that 

Last but not least we talked about the Infrastructure
20 billion dinars for cameras to figure out what is going on with terrorism in their country...they started putting these up a little bit years ago..didn't finish the project...they want to get it done...they want to have high tech and they are going to be very high tech  

And the Biggest thing that should make you all say YEAH!  We talked about in Kirkurk having 24 hr electricity by this summer....
Absolutely tremendous for the people of Iraq...they are finally benefiting from alot of what is going on over there
this is something they can see in their everyday life...they can turn their electricity on anytime they want from that standpoint Very Soon

There you have it.....The Straight Talk Express from Mike

Mike summarizes tonights News:

Excellent news - CBI, Banking 
We read the article where the finance committee has given the approval to go ahead and delete the 3 zeroes
September is their guideline to delete the 3 zeroes...We all want to remember when I talk about deleting the 3 zeros thats about replacing the currency - its not about the RV...they have a timeline to replace their currency....we learned the old currency and the new currency ARE going to run CONCURRENT FOR 1 YEAR
that means they are NOT taking the old currency and getting rid of it and replacing with the new currency and you only have 2 days to turn it in or it going to be valueless.....ITS GOING TO RUN CONCURRENT FOR ONE YEAR
 
Gotten  the approval to go ahead and do the printing and replacement of the dollars from the Finance Committee...It is a formality..but it was a formality they needed in order to have this process to go forward...

We read about CBI talking about counterfeiting....one of the ways to break up the counterfeit rings is to get the new currency out
This is all training for the people to get them interested in the new currency to let them know that this currency is coming and going to be there and they need to have full faith and credit in this currency and want to hang onto their dinars and go and do the exchange from that and get themselves moving forward

Learned that CBI is ready to do this....we feel they have everything printed and ready to go
They are in the business to make money...DON'T WANT TO SPEND MORE MONEY FOR A CURRENCY THAT IS WORTHLESS
IN ORDER TO PUT THAT OUT.....BECAUSE IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE....so at some point in time BEFORE THE NEW BILLS GET OUT TO THE PUBLIC THEY HAVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF VALUE especially the coins need to have to have more value...can't have a coin worth more in made value than it is for value that they can move ahead
Very big process...kinda think that starting September backwards the timeclock is on...and CBI has put the time clock on everybody to get this done very quickly so that they can move forward to get this exchange done and get the value there so they can move their economy ahead....they are ready to move ahead - the Banking systems is ready to go

From the Political standpoint..
We talked about Barzani pretty much told everybody to get on the bus...LETS MOVE IT FORWARD

We read about Parliament is going to start fining people for not being there...

We read about laws being passed and progress moving forward

We talked that there is Easing from Maliki on some political issues - political prisoners he has moved forward
We still know the main point is going to be the Hashemi trial and how thats going to be handled and how it will probably be taken out of the National Conference to move forward
It looks like they are ready to go ahead and do that and meet with this National Conference although there has been talk of trying to put it
off until after the Arab Summit
It would really behoove Iraq to be together to come out of this National Conference as one government to its Arab Partners as on one government to let them know they can be a partner with them
That they have a stable government and that we are a good trading partner we can go ahead and move forward

Most of the issues with Kuwait are moving forward...I dont want to say it is a done deal....but pretty much it is a being a negotiated deal behind the scenes..Kuwait will let them out of Chapter 7
That will happen in this process of the dominos falling probably once they come out and get themselves a recgognized govt and
that everybodys together ...all very happy and moving in one dirrection
that we are one and moving in the same direction..that will all happen

News day was on a scale from 1-10...probably a great 8 day...if not close to a 10 ...but we dont want to get overly excited... but we are excited about the things taking place...moving forward quickly

We read about them protecting themselves as a sovereign country with their borders to keep people from flowing over and get a hold on any of these countries coming in trying to suck up their foreign reserves for dollars.

Great news night - alot things going on...get better as the days go on...Ball is moving in the right direction...forward..
I think we are going to hear more and more progress daily ...
CBI is poised to go ahead and do what they need to do...really need the government to get it together
so they can all come out at the end of this as one and looking like what they need to.....
Get the people the money they deserve
Get the value in the economy so they can get themselves moving along
Get the people excited about their country and not about violence and everything else that is going on
They have a tremendous opportunity on the world stage if they can get themselves together for this Arab summit
With everything else going on with their partners in Iran
They can become a huge player in this oil game
They have the reserves
They have the means to get it out
and if they can get this HCL all figured out oil companies would be there in a day..there already there ready to go..to drill and get this stuff out
and ready to go...they certainly they have the reserves and they can certainly produce alot of oil for alot of different countries
and fill a gap that would help put pressure on Iran with the rest of world
They can really become a huge player in this whole game and get themselves jumpstarted and moving in the right direction

We are Seeing a bunch of events coming together on the world stage benefitting them from this standpoint which is why you are starting to see probably  a sense in urgency in the Parliament to get  things done...

Remember when reading articles, see where they are written ...see who is writing them...are they economists?..are they straight from the people? 
Parliament..and what the quotes are...it will give you a better idea  of understanding that there is a sense of urgency to get things done and move forward

Great night folks....lots of good things..what we thought would be a great weekend of news WAS INCREDIBLE....
There you have it....GREAT NEWS NIGHT....WOW

"Straight Talkin" Mike summarizes tonights News:

Mikes Summary:

Really good news night!!!  
Talked about some great things going on with the CBI and Banking....
Talked about them getting some ATMs machines out there in 24 hours
Getting their people prepared for banking so that they can use their phones to go out there and do their private banking
With my current business being in Technology.....I ABSOLUTELY FIND IT OUTSTANDING they have 6-8 hours of electricity and they are talking about using their cell phones to do banking and ATM machines

They are talking about legislation that needs to be passed to let the private banks go ahead and start loaning because they had state owned banks doing all this loaning..now they want private banks to take over that so they can become a multi international banking system ....they need a few laws passed to make that happen

Talked about Rafidian Bank stopped lending as of Feb 15...closed that down to lending and doing anything else so they can take a tabulation of that of the 15th..which is GREAT!
Now we have:  first all of the things we were worried about if they had an RV what would they do with all of the contracts and everything...
they are going thru the Rafidian since that is the largest bank that has loaned most of the money out...they are going thru and have a tabulation on that...
Next all of the other banks can come in and start take over the lending and development of all of the other projects
So the banks can go ahead and do what they do make money and interest and loan money to people to make money off that process to build reserves and Central Bank kinda controls that whole process
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL from that standpoint

Learned they are still educating everyone in articles out there about how valuable their dollars are
Talking about all the modern technology they have....ATM machines putting them in restaurants, etc...put them in all of these places where people can go to these places and do what they need to do.

Think about this...You would have to have some value!!
Why would you be putting these ATMs and these type of technologies out there for a currency that is not valuable at this point in time
The ATMs are a great source to get out those lower denoms...so keep an eye on that
GOING VERY WELL from that standpoint

CBI has worked its plan and knows exactly what they are doing..moving along thru each phase
Completed with this phase and Rafidian closing..they are finishing up what all the IMF has told them to do in order to have their banking system in line to have the blessing of the IMF
The IMF told them what they needed to do with all of their banking system and one of the biggest things they needed to do was to figure out how to get Rafidian Bank from controlling all the money inside the country
What did they do?....they stopped loaning...now we have all of the other banks ready to start loaning
Ready to set up for an international banking system and ready to be open up to the public here very shortly so they can start  to do business loaning and doing what they are doing

Learned Budget due to be voted on Monday
Minister of Finance will be there on Sunday to kinda close out any other questions in Parliament they might have
Still struggling with power internally with the last piece that needs to be done before the conference can be held and the government can kinda come out in unity is the Hashimi issue..which is a fairness issue..don't want him to be prosecuted in Baghdad  - they want the constitution and the judiciary branch to look at this with a sense of fairness and not to have somebody have a political issue with a person and be able to prosecute him thru the courts....sounds kinda funny but it is a very important issue,,,more so than you would think because in the past what did Saddam do with all his enemies....put them in courts...had fake trials...put them to death in public manner so everyone would stand up and do what they needed to do and follow him.   This is why this is such a salient point for them and they can not let it go..they can not have that happen again....
Thats why everyone was comparing him to a dictator and all that other stuff that was out there....May seem like a small issue to us but it is a huge issue for them

Talked about they are tying the Erbil and oil and gas law  to this so once this is done they can really get thru this and move quickly
They've had some very serious negotiations on this and moving forward ..
Lots of things moving forward and very happy with the progress being made

If you look at the plan that the CBI wanted to do..they are ahead of schedule from where they needed to be...
ALREADY ROLLING OUT THE ATMS .. BANKING SYSTEMS GETTING BETTER.....MORE INTERNATIONAL AND MORE COMPLIANT EACH DAY
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO SEE HAPPEN inside the banking system being able to do things INTERNATIONALLY.
 
Talked about how they have the ability to clear stock transactions for the stock exchange which will make the stock exchange a better place to invest money....VERY IMPORTANT that they can now do clearing house functions inside the banks so they can settle those stock trades and move forward...ALL DONE ELECTRONICALLY folks......from electronic standpoint in a very nice postion
If you can look at what you see and what they are telling us...THEY ARE ELECTRONICALLY READY TO DO WHATEVER THEY NEED TO DO INSIDE THEIR BANKING SYSTEMS....THE ONLY THING REALLY LEFT FOR THEM IS TO GET READY TO START RELEASING THOSE LOWER DENOMS WHICH IS IN THEIR SECOND PHASE
Thats one of the things they told us they were going to do - One of the things we are looking for very shortly

We talked about they are looking at mechanisms to get more money into peoples hands - the money from the (HCL)  back to their people
Theres a National ID card they have..looking for ways to implement these things....not talking anymore about that this could be a good idea....NOW ITS A GREAT IDEA AND NOW HOW DO WE GET IT IN THEIR HANDS
Have about two or three ways to do that...National ID Card, Ration Card, or just have everybody go to the bank present their citizenship papers
to get it that way....this is the least desirable way....
My guess is based on how electronically savvy their banking system is there will be an electronic means to get it out to their people probably already sitting out there waiting to be in place and WILL BE READY TO GO ONCE THEY PASS EVERYTHING

Great night folks....lots of good things..what we thought would be a great week WAS....Parliament getting things done...

What we are looking for and what we want to see...Budget passed...more meetings finalized about Erbil, HCL...seat ministers
and somewhere around the National Conference they anounce their government is fully seated and they are ready to go
Government looks more together now than they ever have in a long time

There you have it...MOVING FORWARD AND ANOTHER GREAT NEWS NIGHT

Mikes Summary:

GREAT ARTICLES TONIGHT FROM THE CBI
Central Bank came out again with an article about the 60 Billion reserves
GDP going to rise from 180 to 350 billion dollars in two years
Read about the new technology and new currency coming out to delete the zeroes
We discussed what they are going to do if they have to stop the auctions and how they are going to  increase the buying goods and services thru the IMF to help them generate dollars and loans and cash into the Central Bank to still use their dollars for something thats productive
My opinion on the 1st 3 articles we discussed is that we are seeing every day is part of the training process for the people of Iraq to understand
their currency is going to change and they have a valuable dinar and that they want to hang on to those dinars
Not run to the bank and change them for dollars and make a profit selling them to someone along the Iranian border
Make sure they tell the people daily that the dinar is going to be equal to the dollar in stature...going to be the same thing
Going to have value for them.........more value for you
based on the articles we read that they are doing at the Central Bank in moving forward
Absolutely GREAT articles about the process ....seeing More and more articles about this...training of the people..."giving them the exact details and answer all of their questions with the use of media".....not going to happen in one day....They Can't change their currency and in one day expect the people to understand it....when the value changes it is going to be a significant change
You have to inform the people so when they turn that on they don't get ripped off by the people who are dealing with them from the merchants side
You are going to see more and more articles telling the people this is going to happen......eventually when it does happen they can get the rest of info out on the TV screens and in the Mosque - with more instructions so they are prepared for the change that is going to take place
GREAT articles tonight..(Listen to some great analysis and discussion by listening to the call....great analysis after each article)

The House of Rep wanting to amend the banking laws to let the banks participate in loaning and being part of this process of goods and service into the country
Parliament wants to enact the Tariff Law...(How can you tax something that is worth nothing...unless you are going to have substantial value)
we discussed about how enacting a tariff law when your currency is worth very little can negatively affect that currency because you will increase inflation by a certain percentage....
they are talking about a 5 - 30% tariff so we are happy that it is kinda delayed but they have to add some value so they can can start taxing and
get these tariffs in to start protecting the goods and services into the country so they can get quality goods and services into their country from that...so very interesting article as we move forward.

Discussed the Procrastination on Erbil - really the main deal between this National Meeting is Maliki with Hashemi...
Talabani probably has everything else negotiated......as they move forward...140...HCL...Erbil are the main points of contention for this to come forward
You will see them talking and bickering one day and the next all is fine...but it is still just the negotiating process politicians follow as they go thru
In this area we talked about how personal they take everything...how insulted they can be if one day someone doesn't show up with the right drink..or right seating they cancel this or that.....
We talked about how deep the many years of distrust are and that they are overcoming them but they are based on the years they had with Saddam
Some of these people grew up only under Saddam so they don't know what to expect from what they are getting so you have lots of tension but we are seeing progress with this...

We discussed they found "Gold in them Hills" in Baghad..people were getting sick - they went in and they started looking and found large gold reserves
Just One of many articles and news we will start to see about other minerals that they can back their economy with
Gold...Phosphate, etc etc  now that they are open and having people coming into to look for things they will find alot more things in alot of these regions that weren't thought to have things just like oil....
they end up having gold reserves or some other minerals that are very valuable from that standpoint

Ministers- We discussed couple of candidates stepping aside to let some of the other candidates surface to the top so they can get the best person in there..moving forward on that

We are In the last phases of the Budget ..final and last day of debates is this Thursday..can move to a vote soon after they stop that debate
and move forward...we discussed a few of the things they were debating over
They need to have this Budget done...its a big step for Erbil ..big step to help get the poliitical crisis moving in the right direction
because you will have money allocated for these things and you aren't going to have politicians not want to spend the money allocated for these
things once there all said and done...

They are Moving forward and it is a great news night again tonight

Highlights/Summary of Tonights News:

Mike's summarizes tonights News:

Lots of things going on over the weekend and today
We discussed Central Bank coming out with news (recycled) articles from October - first time probably talking a little bit about an exchange rate being equal to a dollar
One of the reasons we think they are bringing this out now versus before is to start educating the people on the new currency...we've read that needs to be part of what they are going to to do.....
What do they need to do?  They need to tell the people that the new currency is going to be at least as valuable as the dollars that they hold now because if they dont tell them that they are as valuable as the dollars they hold now they may have a run on the bank for people to get those dollars and go out and exchange them with Syria and Iran because there is a profitability issue for them to be able to go ahead and do that now
Thats why we are seeing these articles......Dont get fired up in the community about it all...If it does come out one to one were very happy at that point in time....It doesnt mean its the beyond all end all..  They are not going to announce it in the paper before it happens saying exactly what the exchange rate will be..THATS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN...
They are giving the people some idea so they can be educated about the money they are about to receive and the new money they
will see in the street, so they don't fear it...part of that education campaign

We talked about the US Foreign Minister & the Economic Committee came over saying we need to support the Banking system

We talked about the number of Foreign and registered companies coming in during the month of Jan was 123 (29 national companies) - extremely huge.....

Kurds before this weekend submitted a paper which is Plan B....trying to establish a bigger majority so they can get a bigger voice
in the upcoming National Meeting - starting to see some political hankering going on with that...they want Erbil done and as we have seen they
have a plan to get that done...

Talked about a Road map on getting people together...talking about talking to get things done.

We talked about the 3 political presidential blocs agreed on some of this stuff and they are meeting to talk about what is in these agreements so they can go ahead and come out jointly and announce things shortly probably during this National Meeting
All this needs to be hammered out as we have talked about ...we are seeing the political process from the inside out.....alot of things go on in these meetings...one day things are fine...the next day someone walks out because they served sandwiches instead of vegetables... very picky like that.....as you go thru the news you might see some negative things come out but it is part of the whole bargaining process as they go thru...not pretty
sometimes but at the end they will come out at the National Meeting and announce the unified government and show the world they are open ready to do business and they are open as one entity with 3 regions that can do business and one head that can do business together as they have decided in their constitution

We Talked about the Arab Summit - Katar & Kuwait have agreed to come to the Arab Summit - excited about that because Kuwait would not come if they had bad relations or werent thinking about mending things as they go forward with iraq...Very very positive

We've seen they have a way to distribute the 140 money..talking about it and plans out there and in the works...

All in the works..moving forward and very positive...all good things from this standpoint
Doesnt mean it will happen overnight..its a process they are going thru...we are starting to see this process come thru....We take a deep breath and we look at it and say okay...all of these things coming thru ...lets get Parliament back in and lets start voting on some of these things so we can come out and announce these things.

The Central Bank has told us they know what they are doing...they told us in the articles they have seen the right way to do this and the wrong way to do this...they have this under control and they will make their decision when they feel comfortable making that decision moving forward...
lots of things going on in the world that factor into that decision..have regions next to them that have sanctions..Other countries they are doing business with in Europe having issues so there are alot of other outside influences that will help them to determine that
But they really need to get the inside of their country done first before they can make any decisions to move forward
because they have to fix whats going on in Iraq before they can help anybody or anything outside of their own country

They are Moving forward and it is a good news night again tonight

Highlights/Summary of Tonights News:

"Straight Talkin" Mikes summary on several articles read tonight

Favorite Article of the Night
Iraq Delays Licensing Round Again
Very excited about this article...

One of the key sentences in this article was
"We have made major changes and amendments on the inital contract that concern the ECONOMIC and CONTRACTURAL terms, and the result was a new model contract"

When I saw this article I took it as a negative article at first...dont like to see them changing dates on anything and contracts being put off ...
But after reading that sentence...it is really positive..had to read it several times

Why does this point to something positive for us?
Oil and Gas Law is what we are talking about...
This is how they are getting alot of the money that comes into the country
definitely this the key to everything that is going on
We talked about needing to pass laws for economic and contractural reasons for the RV...they lay out these oil wells or these areas where they think there is going to be gas and they bid on it...they test..figure out how much oil they can get and they pull it out of the ground and they make huge profits doing that to help them pump it..control it and get it going and Iraq makes huge dollars on the sale of the oil

This has been delayed and delayed .....you can look at as another delay BUT the reason they did it this time is they had to rewrite the contracts
for ECONOMIC and contractural terms
Obviously that has something to do with the money
and we've talked about things that might need to be done for the RV...
they put this down the road a little bit....which gives us a date sometime in the future that if it is tied to any time of an RV happening before that then this contract would not have to be redone
You would do this ahead of time so you dont run into problems when something happens and we talked about that.
Article that points to the OIl and Gas and having to change something....
Why would you have to change something for economic reasons?
In any negotiations you can always adjust the amount you want...the percentages you get and who is getting what...etct
but to be rewritten for economic reasons makes me wonder if there is some clause thats in the contract that has to do with currency and how they are going to be paid and what that is going to look like before an RV or after an RV...maybe not in those terms...Example...Section F...in the event the currency changes we get a bigger percentage....we would want more at that point in time....because there would be more value there etc..
I think that is extremely positive - article I had to read twice when I saw that...Thought it was a negative article but after reading ...had to ask myself What would be the commen sense reasons for doing this...
Dont like to see contracts being put off.....but after reading why I had to say WOW...very positive
They need to start changing things now to get ready for what is happening in the future...

Remember what we talked about....The Arab Summit is huge for them ..they need trading partners..remember that...They need all their friends in the Arab world to come and see them at their best

Building a shopping mall in one of the provinces that is going to be huge....large mall like in Dallas
already putting contracts to do that..now I dont know about you but if my money is not valuable I am not going to pay 50,000 dinars or 500 mill dinars
for clothing and TV sets  luxury items, etc
Sony just signed a contract to come in and open a Sony store..that stuff is not cheap..start thinking in commen sense terms that this is
moving in the right direction...stop looking for the date and when...look at those postivie things happening on a daily basis in the country and
ASK yourself this question...Can they support this if they have NO value in their currency?....and the answer has to be NO...
Poor people are not going out buying luxury items....they are worried about feeding themselves
The things that are going in are luxury items - When you start seeing these type of things happening..there has to be some sort of community to support that when these things are done....You have to start pushing forward getting some value..getting them use to that kind of money..so they can
figure out their what their discretionary income is so that they can go out and afford those things...

Great articles about Automobile loans for the people.....3 other articles about cars...Energy plants...so many others we read about today
and housing Loans being offered interest free and includes all citizens...giving back to the citizens...15 yr mortgages...and be able to pay these off with no interest....Positive signs of a country which tells us they are moving forward and should make you feel safe with your investment

Mike Recaps and summarizes tonights news:
:
Definitely moving in the right direction
Nothing bad out there...
Read about some positive things about some of the contracts being negotiated for ECONOMIC reasons
Citizens getting homes interest free
Shopping malls and hotels being built....
All the companies going in there - Sony and so many other deals 
Constitution being ready to go and all that being in the right direction and making sure they keep that all implemented and keep that moving in the right direction
The 140 seems ready to go
Moving in a very good positive direction..maybe an inch at a time but they are going forward
Like we said before...CBI is done
Looks like they just need to get to this National Meeting and they need to hammer out their differences and get themselves to a point where they can come out of this thing really looking like some champs when it is all done
Thats what we are looking forward over the next few days...just to make sure that these things go thru and they start to follow thru with the things they are doing and once we get that all sorted out....everything will fall into place ..it will do what it needs to do If they take care of their business ..
Dr Shabibi will take care of his business and once they announce their fully seated government and they are all unified....its the its the perfect time before that National Meeting to do that AND then lots of good things can happen

Very good progress..Positive things going on guys....If we take ourselves off the roller coaster ride and start to look at all the positive things going on
and not get caught up on exactly when...when... when..then we can start to see these things getting done and understand that they need to do what they need to do in the time that they are going to do it
and there is not a darn thing anyone can do to make them make it go any quicker
Other than Mr Talabani he is doing his best to push them in the right direction
At some point in time at the end of this race it will go very quickly...happen quickly and we will shake our heads and go WOW
We will be at the Finish Line

Deb Reads Her Favorite article of the day:
FOR THE VETERANS:
White House to host a Military Dinner Feb 29 hosted by President Obama and the 1st Lady to mark the end of the Iraq War...
"This dinner, an expression of the nation's gratitude for the achievments and enormous sacrifices of the brave Americans who served in the Iraqi war
and of the families who supported them...."You have been there every step of the way, serving with honor, sacrificing greatly, from the first waves of
the invasion to the troops coming home" 
"So as your Commander-in-Chief, and on behalf of a grateful nation, I'm proud to finally say these two words and I know your families agree:
WELCOME HOME"
And the IQD Team thanks you also and gives you the recognition you so deserve....Hats off to all of you and your families...thank you for your sacrifice.....We Welcome You Home.

Highlights/Summary of Tonights News:

Mike Recaps and summarizes tonights news

CBI
What did we learn tonight
We know that the Central Bank is in a very good position
They have taken control of their auctions once again
They are telling everyone they are now Basel Compliant.....as they trump it - 60 billion in reserves
The CBI has plenty of money to manage its currency..they are out there doing what a Central Bank does buying and selling the currency - they are making sure they know who they are buying and selling from
the auction thing is the most exciting thing for me....because now they know who they are....these auctions are electronic....so there electronic banking system is in pretty good shape if they know who's what where when and how
Traders on border of Iran don't want to take the Iranian money anymore in trading for dollars
They were making good money giving them dollars and trading for the Iranian money and dinars and keeping those
Now they are smartening up
Banks are starting to get wind of whats going on and the street vendors are no longer wanting to hoard those dollars
They want them to have respect for the dinar and use the dinar
CBI is ready...have not heard anything negative from CBI for the last several months...saying here we are...
WE ARE READY TO HIT THE FINISH LINE with this and MOVE FORWARD..
They are doing what their function is  - To be the CBI and to manage their economy and manage their money - they have a plan and they are moving forward with it

Government
Parliament....long discussion tonight about the arguing...talking...differences and why they are there..
Learned today ...Cabinet which is Malikis 3 presidents basically the formation of the Erbil how it is dividing up the power sharing which is the most important part is his cabinet to get things done have all came back together..
Talabani has said we are going to handle all of our outstanding problems by using the constitution.....able to get concessions and move people forward.....huge concession on Hashemi whose going to be in the justice side of things..
He got some guarantees that they are going to go  ahead and he will get a fair trial...We maybe have not heard the end of that..still maybe a sticking point ...but they are going to use the constitution - everybodys afraid of
its going to like Saddam....point the finger...put in prison and get killed....and they dont want that...they dont want anyone to have
that kind of power

We know the budget is ready to vote on next week and move forward next week...14th is a day talked about when Parliament is back in session... ....
We have movement on ministers...getting ready to vote on that possibly on the 14th..
they have a list...we talked about how that maybe a 50/50 split....Maliki may end up getting the security minister and somebody else will get Interior...but they will come to a resolution on that and move that forward
very very important

Push is to get themselves ready and show they have a very working government for the Arab Conference because they need trading partners....they need to show people that they can be a government that can trade with people and do the things they need to do because they have Iran and Syria that have sanctions and they do a lot of business with those
people and they need to replace those business partners with people who are functioning as normal business partners with the world that are not under sanctions...You see articles they dont want these sanctions on Iran because  they trade with them...almost like they fear alot of shutting down all of that trade without having another trade partner so they have been kinda on the outskirts of this
Thats why the Arab Summit Conference is going to be so important for them

Then theres the National Conference we hear about....which is the Political convention - that is probably either they are voting on a place for this to go
and my feelings tells me this is part of the process of the political convention  that they are going to have.....thats going to be the last part in the next week and a half...Last part where they come together as a team and decide the future of Iraq and where they are going
I have a feeling at the end of that they will announce their government at that point in time...perfect opportunity for them...will be looking for that
I am not saying thats going to happen... but will be looking for that.

VERY POSITIVE NEWS...if you didnt hear the beginning of the call listen to the beginning - I spoke about where we are at and how to keep yourself stable in
this investment and all that you hear..........remember what we talked about - please use your common sense rule out there when reading articles and hearing
things....articles put out some nonsense but there are juicy bits and pieces in articles you read - have them pass the common sense
rule and if we see them in a couple of different news sources.....grab those and have them pass the common sense rule we can make sense of whats going on....
Moving in a positive direction.... be patient....Nothing negative out there....
Don't shut out the flowers...they will grow.....just water them and take care of them...
PULL THE WEEDS
Be careful of the things you plant...if you plant them - cultivate them - make sure they dont get out of control and I think that is whats going on with the
government....taking time and taking baby steps and the villains we think are are probably not and vice versa
Allawi is no angel himself...he has his own agenda on what he wants to do...very driven by what they want to do
they have Sadr on their side...they are very much individualists and want to be their own country and
dont really want to place nice with the rest of the world because we have the oil  and we want to be part of this cartel that can say what we want

Maliki has been put in there by us and has power ambitions but really would like to make sure noone gets into power
that can do all that...meanwhile he looks like he is trying to become a dictator in it all
and then you have Talabani...that comes in and knows how to put the pieces together and get everybody talking and moving in
the right direction (Go Talabani!!!)
He is the guy I am going to keep my eye on him to see what he is going to do...before this is all over he is the one that will be huge
in making sure Iraq comes out on top when this is all over and done with.
