Straight Talking Mike Recaps and summarizes tonights news
(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed - so much great information shared-the following is just the recap of the articles discussed on the call)

We read that the Ministry of Finance spoke a little bit about the increase in the value of the dinar
Again we like to look at these articles - these articles are not exact articles - Shabibi is not going to publish his date, time frame or his rate in the news so everybody can run out and take advantage of whatever his plan is and wreck it or ruin it etc
He's put a guideline out there - starting to see everybody is saying things about the guidelines and it was a little different - talked about increasing the value of the dinar1st before doing anything else which is kinda new - we like that idea alot
Again they are floating alot of different ideas out there
They talked about a small increase in the rate and the CBI denied that was going to happen - maybe they have something that is a little larger - so we are going forward
They talked about the currency ring they busted up that was printing hard currency....American dollars over there
They talked that there seems to be a push on the street where the currency dealers are making a little bit of money because the currency is in demand and they are starting to let it go at a different exchange rate on the street - dollars seem to be drying up and dinar seems to be there...supply and demand kinda makes that adjustment..
You've got the food prices going up and people are probably trying to get there hands on the dollars
We discussed an article a few weeks ago they sucked about 200 million dollars out of their streets so people are starting to want that hard currency..ITS ONE OF THOSE PRESSURES WE LIKE TO SEE
beause they need to do something in order to make sure none of these things can take hold - Now you have people trying to counterfeit dollars because they are not there as long - interesting to see........again the CBI says they have control of the situation and they are not too worried about whats going on

The Summit by all accounts was successful

We talked about Kuwait ...we have a good feeling they ended alot of in relation to Chapter 7 - seems to be all worked out -there are very little problems - and NO problems emerged
The head of the United Nations stopped in Kuwait first making sure he got a good report from Kuwait.....then went on to Baghdad and got a good report and he delivered a report to the people in private at the Summit
We've all got a pretty good feeling that that should tie up everything with Chapter 7 - its just making sure that the paperwork
to officially do it whatever they have to do at the UN gets done
that may take some time...you may not see that in the news but again countries just need asssurances that this is going on so if they want to start investing and coming towards Iraq.
One of the things that Iraq wanted to do is get released from alot of their debt that was out there from Saddam Hussein
I'm sure they got assurances they got rid of 80% of the Paris Debt
They probably still have some other debts thats out there to some of these other countries they were looking to get forgiven - Qatar forgave alot of debt....they were like yeah if you guys just want to be like them please just forgive our debt...they will get some assurances..they will work that out and it is not a major concern for them because they have the oil production to negotiate these things down to something that is fairly reasonable - And again they really have to heal wounds..Saddam made alot of enemies - There is alot of distrust of Iraq just as there is in the regions that they need to pay their debts back and whats going on with that - want to make sure that they get paid
Iraq is like it is not fair to hold us to the sins of the past - its all negotating to get that out of the way
It helps them as a country....you want to have a little sovreign debt out there - those are all just minor things that this conference will solve to get them going

We talked about Iraq regaining their regional status in the Arab League which is good - It's recognition that they are no longer under the rule of Saddam Hussein that they are no longer a threat to the communities around them and the people around them and that is generally what this was to show - that they are not a threat any longer and that they are doing things to get there nation building and moving forward

The next thing that is on the agenda for them is we hope the National Conference this week coming up - next week...hoepfully they will get whatever they need to ironed out during that conference...hopefully the government can get done and they can get themselves on track with the government and moving forward because they are vastly coming upon on some dates that need them to be together for their new budgets - they need the money and the currencies to be put into the budget for next year with the new revalued currency..they talked about making the budget that for next year...now we are on a timeline...on a stretch

We talked abut Myanmar and the struggles that that country had -
How they are rich with resources...and low and behold on April 1 they are revaluing their currency
if you get a chance read that article please go take a look at it -
That is what a revalue looks like...not people dancing in the streets, not people running around screaming and yelling...its not a huge event..
it is a very small event that happens
The rest of the world gets informed that their currency now has more value - That their Central Bank is floating their currency and that they are going to have a valuable currency for the people in the country....
They will issue whatever denominations they need to issue
They will issue the currency they need to issue - dont know about the specifics what is going on there
They will do whatever they need to do to get everything in the hands of the people
They are revaluing....They increased the value of the currency
They doubled the value of their currency is what it almost turned out to be - after the first of April, we will find out if it is worth more than that maybe double..possibly as much as a triple value in their currency to the US dollar - They are very excited about that and what it is going to bring into their country
We know that these things happen and this is an example of what goes on in the world today..........

Deb shares her email correspondence with Tariq this morning
Still in lockdown..blackout on cell phones....internet is up and down and is killing him...
Blast this morning was nearby him but he is okay
As promised I asked Tariq for the the callers from Tuesday night who asked about something they had heard - that the government was going door to door passing out pamphlets on Tuesday telling the people they could pick up their smart cards loaded with 1500 dinars on Thursday...His answer....This is a Rumor and not true at all...he commented "this would make a good script for a movie"
As soon as the blackout is over he hopes to join us again on our calls

And there you have it...

Straight Talking Mike Recaps and summarizes tonights news
(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed - so much great information shared
the following is just the recap of the articles discussed on the call)

Tonight we read a few articles about CBI - most all being recycled rehashing the same things because of the News Blackout..not alot of news coming out as we discussed last week there would not be....we talked about 2 articles from the CBI....
Couple of articles about deleting the zeros - same old articles - that the Kurdish language is going to be on there...that they are getting ready to do that..the costs are out there...In one of the articles they have already contracted with somebody.... same ole articles
We dont know where we are at in the process..
we think we are closer to the end than the beginning of the process
AS WE HAVE SAID...WE BELIEVE THE CBI IS READY TO GO

Tariq from Iraq joined us for a short period of time
We heard from Tariq they shut down cell phone service in the last 4 hrs prior to The IQD Team Call and he told us his internet service is starting to be shut down as well.....they are trying to keep people very quiet..They did have a small attack so they have now moved the Arab Sumit away from the original hotel location
Tariq talked about some of the outrageous expenses at the conference....diamond studded hot dogs...(that was for you Yukon)
All Kidding aside Tariq talked about the extravagant food (dates served 24 karat gold) and how the average Iraqi citizen sits out there and looks at all of this and you can hear it in Tariq's voice what he thinks of all of this....

Tariq's Discussion with The IQD Team until his internet or electricity went out.....some of Tariqs words were hard to understand so please keep that in mind or listen to the recording

Tariq joined us to give us the latest news due to a suicide bomber attack they are cutting the main network...NO CELL PHONES AS OF TODAY ...no cells phones anymore-turned off today 4 hrs before The IQD Team Call started....they are under a blackout he assumes until the end of the Summit....He heard there was a suicide bomber today who killed two..So Tariq assumes that is why it has been cut off....
Internet could be cut off at any time...he wanted to join us before he might possibly have no connection with us to give us the updates.

The latest he has heard from his friends, the journalists, who are supposed to be inside the place where the Summit is taking place:

1st of all, the Summit will take place in the Palace which is the US military headquarters before...very close to the international airport Baghdad and I believe they might now be suspecting some security breeches so they have moved it instead of the international zone which is about 7 miles away to the Palace which is very close to the airport...its inside the airport actually

#2   Said this is really funny...NOT.....They have brought 2500 staff from the excess hotel to be the ones in charge of all of the Arab Summit
They have provided 600 chefs, 820 waiters, 78 butlers, etc from 7 hotels and 6 palaces to help with the Arab Summit

He is hearing also that the same thing I was talking about the other night on the call with Straight Talking Mike that the Kurds and how they started to talk about new things like the Iraqi government owed them billions of dollars and the Arabs are also complaining because of the 2 people who will be the front the president and the Minister of Foreign Affairs are Kurds and are not Arabs they are not really happy with it....

Funniest and most ridiculous thing at the same time that the menu will include dates covered with 24 karat gold....Mike and Tariq talk about that must be for the Saudis....
Tariq says they have the money and They know how much they have.....they wouldn't if they didnt have so much

Mike says getting ready for the summit...and cracking down on security...moved everything to a different location

Tariq said he has received many emails to people asking questions and he does not have time to respond to all of them..he does respond to some with his opinion and thoughts which apparently has been taken out of context and not always true...Tariq says what you guys hear here from The IQD Team versus other conference calls...whatever I say here in my opinion is true and my opinion...some people are out there are stating and quoting me that I said this and
do not represent me and my opinion...he is receiving emails about things people have heard on other conference calls that he said certain things which are taken out of context and not true....

Mike from The IQD Team says Tariq is saying that he comes here to join The IQD Team on our conference call....he doesn't have time to read everyones emails and sometimes he responds with his opinion And if you hear something out there that Tariq has said come to the IQD Team Call which is where he will be when he can..It is too difficult for him to respond to everybody

(Note from the IQD Team: his email was given out so he could ask for help from The IQD Team from anyone to submit a product or service they might want his help with to get into Iraq prior to APRIL 1st...He needs to submit these by then so he can put it on his agenda to meet with you while he is in the US on April 9 to meet with Microsoft on a Work Visa..the submission package is on our website)

Debbie asks Tariq about the news article that stated the prices have doubled during this Summit...
Tariq said actually about 6 times more...one kilgram of tomatoes used to be 500 dinars and now it is 3000 dinars
Everybody is raising the prices...the groceries can not bring fresh vegetables from the market now they are taking advantage of the situation and pricing - very high especially for basic necessities
Straight Talking Mike talks with Tariq about the raising prices and that they cant get goods to the areas due to the lockdown
and taking advantage of the people....
Tariq talks about many Iraqi are taxi drivers, masons, etc and how they are really affected - they get daily pay and are really affected when they cant work for 5 days and now the prices soaring its going to very difficult for them

Tim asks him What is the average salary for Iraqis?
It depends - if you work for the government, there is a pay rate table for those...The average graduate student who just got hired by the government, he gets about 300 month which is not very much and very difficult especially if he has to rent his own apartment....if he is living with his own family then he would be fine or better
The day workers earn 8-15 dollars day depending on what they are doing

Tim asks Tariq about the land lines - do they have any land lines?
They used to have....now I think only 10% of the grid works
Even if you have one, the other people don't so you can't use them
The only people using them are the Companies and Unions and Govt offices have...but it is very rare for us

Continuing with the Recap from Straight Talking Mike "The IQD Team"

Next on to the Arab Summit....Maliki is inviting all of the Arabs to invest ..come in and bring your money and lets get us built and lets move forward
they talked about a couple of things that they really wanted to do
They talked about the One currency they wanted to try to do... probably won't fly
But they put it out there that it is something they want to put on the agenda.....probably wont make it to the agenda
Its nice for the poorest country in all of this to say hey lets have one currency where everybody can be happy
and we can really gain alot of advantage in that situation
they are not ready for that yet...they need to make sure they have an economy...make sure they have a tradeable currency, and eventually they can do something like the Euro down the road but it doesn't happen over night - takes years for that to happen because you have different economies

We talked about Iraq trying to use the Arab Summit to get out of Chapter 7 and kinda bring that and have one voice sorta of an end around to get them to move out and to apply some pressure to the United Nations..really won't happen....its nice to have some friends who will say yes
We will do business with you if you are out of Chapter 7......But it truly is in the UN's hands to do that and get them out done as quickly as possible

We talked about Allawi and Barzani not being there - they said have a great conference - the political differences are too important
Basically said we cant see any political advantage to being there...we dont want to upset the cart..we will stay away...thats great
Kurds said we are going to stop producing oil if you dont give us some money...some hush money was sent - $560 million was sent to them..they were short a little bit... 1.5 billion..Its was kinda here you go - here is your first payment...We are going to have to look at the accounts... we are giving you your money...everybody be quiet and your good and they were happy with that for a little bit ..we will see how that goes they will slowly feed them the money that they need in order to do what they need to do...Needs to go the contracts and everything that is paid - Its essential money to keep them up and running and keep the oil companies going with all the wealth that they are looking at to do over there.

Barzani had a talk at home with his people, how he wants to run a transparent open goverment, and he wants to bring unity to Pershmega and Kurdistan - it was really more of a jab at Maliki to say Look I am doing this here...why cant you do this for the rest of Iraq?

And to sum it up alot of bickering going on because as any policial party can take advantage of using the newspapers to put themselves out front and get an advantage because the other party really can't respond too quickly - they did just that...you will see that alot over the next few days as this thing goes down...
Now as Tariq told us with the cell phones being done, internet possibly going down and news getting tighter - theres going to be a lot of stuff put out there you are just not going to believe what you will read in the news..you will probably hear the worst of the worst becacuse that's the time the worst of the worst can get there voices out there no other news to cover those things up so the loudest voice...squeekiest wheel always gets the grease...so they are trying to be the squeekiest wheel to bring attention to what they are doing

Barzani is going to make a trip the US to talk - to see what he can do to get the influence of the US to help the situation along..to put the hammer down so that they can do what they need to do....

Thanks again Tariq for coming on and sharing with us again tonight while you could

There you have it.....The Straight Talk Express with Straight Talking Mike

Straight Talking Mike Recaps and summarizes tonights news

(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed - so much great information shared
the following is just the recap of the articles discussed on the call)

We talked about the Central Bank talking about the tariffs
talked about wanting the tariffs to be ready for June which we have discussed again and again on our calls
and the Central Bank said Woa we dont want to create a lot of inflation..be careful...tariffs create inflation
The government says no no we want to collect the money - its money to run the govt like every government wants
we want to be able to collect those taxes to get us rolling forward
and the Deputy Governor is warning say hey be careful
I want to remind you we have no value to our currency right now
and when we do we have to understand you guys want to yank a 30% tax onto this here
We have to figure out that and add that into our equation
when we are getting ready to RV & add purchasing power to our dinar because we cant give too much value that creates inflation
and if we give it too little value it creates inflation so theres that fine line in the middle where they have to get it right with what the governments doing and what were doing here...its tough....You have different philosphys on how that is done and its all economic theory and you find out if you are right after the fact...not before the fact...so you have to get all of your ducks in a row and you have to move forward
ANOTHER MARKER OUT THERE THAT SAYS BY JUNE WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF VALUE TO THIS DINAR OR THEY WILL HAVE INCREASED INFLATION .....VERY VERY GOOD

We saw a lot of the articles that came out were re-writes of articles that have been around for a couple of weeks now..sometimes even a month or so...
Great sentence from this article "remove three zeros from the Iraqi dinar in order to reach to levels comparable with the exchange rates of foreign currencies order back to the glory of the Iraqi dinar and weighs a healthy beautiful green turquoise."
This was repeat of this article on HOW THEY WANT TO BRING THE DINAR BACK TO THE GLORY THAT IT WAS
where it had purchasing power - where people were able to buy and do things and what you have to remember in Iraq is that not everybody was privy to all that purchasing power that they had when they had it in Iraq..they didnt have many goods coming thru
so they had a high value on their dollar 3.22 but there was not alot they could buy because there was not alot of stuff coming in...you could buy food but you couldn't buy goods - you couldn't build a house, you couldnt do things with an economy..the regular people didnt have a chance to really enjoy any of that...
It's not like they all were like the people in Kuwait
who understood what that money is and know how to spend it
it's been in their economy...they understood what it was all about
they didnt get to taste any of that....this is all very new to them and they are very excited because they can see what goes on to the neighbors in the south in Kuwait and they see what goes on in Saudi Arabia and Qatar that these people share in this and theres alot of wealth for them to share in
So they are anxious to have that value to purchase and when they get that purchasing power its going to be the fuel that drives his economy
When you talk about rates....thats what Shabibi has to figure out...he has to decide what that is going to be...to put enough juice in his economy and not overheat his economy and to give it the right steps so he doesnt create inflation or that he doesnt create inflation by giving it too little value but give it enough fuel so it maintains so as the economy grows more money inflation doesn't kill them
you out pace inflation so if inflation is 2-3% per year
You want your economy to grow by leaps and bounds 8 - 9%
Thats why we are fighting it here in america now
our economy is not growing fast as fast as things are inflating
we have less purchasing power today..you see that when you go buy gas...5-6.00 gallon but you haven't recd more money lately to help you with that increase...thats inflation - dont want to have that over there...you want to be keep adding value to that money so it keeps pace with inflation - that helps with the growth in the oil industry they have there so he's go a little easier job of it because he knows that he is growing - he's not in a downturn..being a mature economy like we have here its a little harder
because we have had the ups and downs..theres nothing to push that motor....hiring and getting people going is alot more difficult here
As we have said we believe CBI is ready...

Flash Forward to whats going on in Bagdhad
We discussed both Ford & General Motors wanting to open up and put 200 million investment each into Iraq
want people to buy more cars....they plan to invest in Iraq because it has become one of the most GROWING COUNTRIES
and to meet the increasing demand there is there for cars....car sales up 68% last year
They see it as a growing place - they want to open up this market and put dealerships there...that does nothing but good stuff for the banking system..they will buy cars...and put loans on the cars to buy them just like they do here..the dealerships will work the same way ...the cars and pricing for that over there
they will sell lots of cars that run on gasoline over there
so what we dont buy from electric they will buy over in these places
you can see that Ford and these type of companies dont go to places where they are going to lose money...they look for growth in the world..they open up in the world markets that are growing and this is one of the only places that is going to be growing in the next few years...people are GOING TO RUN HERE because it is the only one of the places that you can carve out other than some of these other smaller countries in Asia that you have that people will be running to
You are going to have basically 2 places in the world that will see grow over the next 3-5 yrs
THERE GOING TO BE THE FUEL TO THE WORLDS ECONOMY....
Iraq is one of those....they are running to put their money there..
This speaks volumes that these companies are going there and it speaks volumes FOR YOU AND THE DINAR YOU HOLD
IN YOUR HANDS...because they are going to have to increase the value of the dinar for people to afford to buy things like these
They would not go there if they thought people could not purchase their products....the dinar will buy them so much more
when this all said and done......VERY GOOD STUFF....

We talked about the Security and conjestion and the preparations for the upcoming Summit
They have imposed tight security measures at all checkpoints, on main roads, closed bridges, imposed bans on tour motorcycles and aerodynamic vehicles starting this Saturday for one week and curfews will be in place.
If you think that an RV has to be in place before the Summit or a government....Remember the most important thing is IF there is One Head of State Killed it will seal their fate more than anything else...The city is going to be locked down for the next 8 days
They are making sure they are doing what they need to do to keep everyone safe for this event
The city is in lockdown to make sure everyone is safe
Limiting the amount of people in the streets...from this point forward the city is pretty much in lockdown and security will get even tighter...news will probably be very little out of Iraq from the Summit...Hopefully they can work their magic....Let everyone know whats going on and how great it is to invest in their country
The summit is extremely huge for them

We talked about what is going on in the streets
you've got Sadr out there bringing people to kinda march
expressing themselves in a peaceful manner that they are NOT happy with whats going on with the politicians
You put that together with what we heard about Article 140 from the gentlemen from the Iraqiya party
Sadr is from that same party........You've got alot of pressure from the people
they are starting to use the people to put the pressure on Maliki
to say Hey we've got this great big thing coming up
we are putting the pressure on you to get this thing done....
Will he bend?   I dont know...We will have to see
He would be smart to get things signed and to move forward and to get out of the way because the pressure is going to build very heavily and he could end up with a vote of no-confidence coming to him in a short period of time
We will have to see how that plays out
How does that affect us?....everything is positive
if he gets out of the way its positive
if he stays there he needs to wise up and do things....so there is really not a negative situation to him staying or going
other than the longer that he stays the longer this takes........is sorta the way it is going
We would like to see the government seated and all of these things getting ready to go..
and Shabibi would really like to see Article 140 because the OIL IS THE FUEL TO HIS ECONOMY
If they dont know how to sign, whose to sign, who is taking the money, how they are taking the money into the economy
Then everything he has based his calculations on can go up in smoke because you have oil companies who will start to sue....congestion and how that is going to go...people fighting on who gets what money inside the country..and you have chaos...
All the value you are trying to add and everything you are trying to do gets disgruntled and mumbled and you have regions fighting
against regions what the value of that is and how to do it
the reason they wanted to do the 140 is to make it very easy to calculate for the economy...Everything goes thru one place
You can use those numbers - they can see the barrells - when you start dividing off into 3-4 separate places you lose that bookkeeping
system - that one place can keep and sign all of the contracts and know what the dollar of that is..it gives them a very good idea - you can over to the Oil Ministry and say how are we doing today - how many barrells are we doing a day...
when you have 3 or 4 regions are turning up production and some are not producing as much then it gives you an inconsistent and you dont want that to happen and for them They are a member in Opec and they really need to get this down....because this would make them a very strong member in OPEC because they would really have a lot of power knowing how much is going out each and every day So there is alot ...Ascension to the WTO...IMF....all really relies on the tariffs and Oil is the heartblood of their economy so you can why the Iraiqya group pushes so hard to get these people to sign and get this moving because it benefits them but it also benefits the economy
as I used to say when I was in the business and I negotiated salaries for people you have your opportunity to negotiate when you came thru the door...5 yrs ago when the deal was struck..and you negotiated it and you said okay
you were fine with it....now you've got involved and start to understand how much money is here and whats going on and now you say well I didnt carve a big enough piece for me...well you know you blew it then...because if you didnt have all of that..you didnt negotiate good enough....you are stuck with the deal you struck until you renegotiate and most of those people that negotatied salaries with me and came in after the fact you negotiated from the power that you had...you got what you got from what you have
not what you brought to the table..what you are bringing to the table hasnt changed.....I can give you a smaller amount -----I can give you some concessions but I cant give you the same as someone else who has brought to the table more than you
Like 60% of the oil revenues are coming to the table from one party
they have more bargaining power there..so what happens in that case when I was negotiating salaries I usually said good bye to those people and hired someone else who had better qualifications
so thats the risk you run when you negotiate the deal up front
and you end up sitting there and having sour grapes after the fact
because you already have these sour grapes and now there is more on the table that I thought there was and you say well..too late..sorry you couldnt see that vision 5 yrs ago when you negotiated this deal
because you had your chance...there were people in the room...there were people dividing this up ..and saying okay
there were people from the oil industry that divided this up and said this is the most successful way to run this country
because this is going to increase the amount of revenues coming into your country..you should have listened to them when you did that...and they didn't and now this is what you have because you've got people changing their minds because they see the value that is there..
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO US....THERE IS ALOT OF VALUE TO HANG ONTO AS WE GO THRU THIS....you should have courage and faith in what you have because other countries and companies are rushing here to be a part of this
Whatever that is....whatever date it is....whatever value that is...it is going to be more valuable in the future than it is right now......

We read daily about everyone wanting to be a part of this and noone is backing away even with all the political things going on
Noone is saying I cant go to this country because the government is not getting their act together

Straight Talking Mike Recaps and summarizes tonights news

(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed - so much great information shared
the following is just the recap of the articles discussed on the call)

Started out this morning discussing Sundays call with Tariq and all of the The IQD Team got on the phone with Tariq with a private
interview to get some clarification from the other nights call...he received many emails asking for clarification...some people were a little upset so we decided to get together with Tariq and record a little interview where we could sit down and talk with him about some of the things he said...kinda gave him a little education about whats going on in the dinar community...and what a Lop is....he did not know.....his answer was "Well after the other night....I learned it was a Bad thing....
He received 100's of emails asking him whether it would be a LOP...not knowing what a Lop was he just answered NO....lol
We recorded the majority of the call and have put a link on our website for that recorded interview with Tariq......
Take the time to listen to the call to hear what he had to say.

One of the things that brought it home to all of us was he was telling us what had happened over there during our call and how close the
explosions were to him and he was telling us people have been killed and it was pretty bad....
it really brought it home to all of us....we forget there are people over there in Iraq going thru these type of things and a birth of a country
it is not always about the RV - it hit all of us really hard from an emotional standpoint....to actually be on the phone with someone from Iraq and at the same time see the article about the bombings and other things he was telling us about really put a face on what this investment is really all about....and again he discusses the plight he is in that he needs help from the dinar community
As we have also said, review the information on our website regarding the LOP and you will feel better about your investment There are 2 great links we have posted at the top of our website under Iraq News under LOP that will help our new people understand all about this.

RECAP

WHAT A DAY....Today was an eye opener for me because today this investment became more than just an investment
After talking to Tariq again it became very real because there are very real people like Tariq in Iraq...peoples lives that are affected in Iraq.....there were bombings ...people lost their lives over there today.....one of our good friends in Iraq Tariq was very close to this and losing his life....its a tense situation over there today...
with that said...they are moving forward...they want change....they want freedom to do the things they want to do there
they want to grow their economy

We read and see that CBI has come out with their training program letting them know they are printing the currency.....that is
getting closer as the stage has been put out for these guys
They are telling the people that they have a certain date they want to get all this money out there
and how does that affect us...certainly there needs to be an RV to get that currency to be equally high and they need to equate anything out that they need to do and how they are going to pull it out and exchange it is what they are telling the people
they have to have some sort a of parity there..so they are working on building that as they are working on training and getting the people ready
CBI seems to be really on track..really pushing this out...we are seeing this on a regular basis talking about doing what all worn torn countries have done in the past - making sure they can add value to their economy..so they they can start moving ..using their own currency and becoming a real nation

Mike & Tim discuss the articles coming out about the CBI and recycled artcicles and how complicated this whole RV process is

We will continue to see these repeat articles from the CBI
it sounds like the people in Iraq know exactly what is going to happen - something is going to happen and those that have hung around americans have a better idea whats going to happen...although they do not know exactly what is going to happen r how that process is going to work they know its GOOD....from the average Iraqi standpoint their training programs are working ell....this is just part of it.....they want people excited about the dinar and what is about to happen...

We learned on the Parliament side they are still fighting..theres more fights and more fighting and still more fighting
we've seen lots of articles and discussed a few tonight that Talabani is returning and wanting to get this thing done
its all about the Natl Conf - will it be held before or after the Arab Summit ...really it is up to these guys over there to get it together
we know everything is in place for them to have this done before the conference....whether they choose to move it forward in that direction we will see we are going to have one of two things happen...theres going to be a vote of no-confidence n Maliki...he will be removed and then they will go to the conference after the Arab Summit which would be the worse case scenario for them R will come out in the next couple of days and see some sort of handshake and we will move forward and everything they eed to have in implemented will be implemented and they will show up at the conference with their shiny new govt moving forward
and then come back and fight it all out after that and you will still see some of those moves
but to get it to go they really need to make sure the power sharing agreement is in place

Maybe some movement on the Ministers where it has been leaked out...we kinda feel like this is smoke out there
to take some heat off of Maliki because Maliki has really had a rough day out there in the press...everybody was on him like a hobo on a hotdog...he was the middle of it and there were fighting words
not good words....using the words dictatorship.....people wanting to boycott the govt...all that kind of stuff...very harsh words...now we dont know how this is locally whether it is smoke or just doing things to cover things up...very good time to do all of that right now because alot is going on - they've got the conference going on in Bagdhad...they have the Arab Summit ready to come forward and working on the Prep Meetings and they are getting ready to clear the streets for this...They squeezed their timeline pretty straight...if they are going to do this it needs to be done in the next couple of days so they can move forward....

We asked Tariq today about the meaning of when they say "in a few days"..."in the coming days" etc....he kinda laughed...he talked about the perception of time....they say a couple of days all the time....they are late and slow on everything....

Need to keep an eye on that for the next couple of days to see where we are at...and gauge the reaction of the Arab Summit
They will make this Summit a Great success

They were talking about opening up the Saudi arabia pipeline...our state dept came out today and said the European countries that are dependent on iranian oil need to figure out some other place to get oil from...Iraq is going to be the place they are going to get most of that oil from because they've got pipelines that can get it to them - they've got ships that can get it to them...so it is a very opportune time for them to get their crap together and move forward...Like any government they are going to take their time to do what they are going to do

We discussed the News about the SMART CARDS....
Very cool....we had somebody come on our call last week and stated they weren't ready for any of this....it tell us here they are when we talked to Tariq today he told us they all have to have National ID cards and 4 forms of ID they have to carry similar to passports and they have the ration cards so they are used to these types of cards....so to get them out to the people they have the mechanisms in place...to get people to do this the
the mechanism is in place to get them into their hands
not something they will struggle with getting them out there to the people and getting them into their hands....This is really cool stuff here...as we look and read about the little things getting taken care of ..and moving forward on these things its all about trying to get the money into these peoples hands....
so the smart cards are going to be in the hands of the people...this is what we want...very cool....loved this and talking to Tariq about this today

Tariq also talked with us about the ration cards and people who make over a certain amount not getting ration from the government so there are already things in place as people start to make money and get more money in the economy they will be weened off of these programs that are there...want to make sure the people have these things at this stage of the game

We talked about the Letter of Credits being issued
people who want to do business and set up businesses over there
these are great because they help the local banks...
One of the things that makes these so good is the IMF is going to back these Letters of Credit so they are double guaranteed
If the banks were to go out of business, the IMF would guarantee those funds too... ...HUGE for a developing country
brings money into the system and helps brings goods and services to people
We learned they want good services...they dont want the cheap stuff..they are tired of the goods that come in from China
the quality is one of the things - when we hear the tariff laws that were passed what they are really trying to do is set up a standard to get quality goods coming into the country
we've learned in certain instances we have bldgs that have been built over here with non-quality goods and end up being being disasters later - when you have earthquakes and things
you have natural disasters that there just not built properly - not built to code...these are the same concerns they have over there to get all of that in place

What kind of day was it over?.....It was a Sobering day....learned there is alot going on over there...
we learned its not always about what we want and what we want to have happen
there will be days that are very good days and then there are days like we had today....with lots of news coming out from all directions...lot of confusion...because it is the new government - they are trying to get things done and they are trying to do things the best way they know how.....all arguing......all over power....all over money....thats what it comes down to.....it is no different in their country than it is in ours...everybody wants to hold those purse strings because when you hold those purse strings you have alot of power and over there the security minister is going to be that second seat because they are so afraid of anybody who gets that seat
having control of the army so thats why it is one of those things that is waiting out there that will be done last...

We wait and see what happens over the last few days and maybe they will get things done before Sunday before they close down for a week for the Arab Summit

Mike brings Breaking News during the Call....
"AFTER THE BOMBINGS OF THE DAY....... CLAIMS AL-MALIKI'S RESIGNATION"
Mike reads the article...
Only one source...what does this mean to us if it is true....its a good thing if they can get him out of way....This could also be a ploy by his enemies or opposing parties to try to get him to resign
by putting it in the newspaper to try and front run him on the security issue...we will wait and see what tomorrow brings....wouldn't surprise him if there was a vote of no-confidence with the amount of things happening over there - the pressure is building on him to get out of the way
it would also not surprise me to see this as a plant from the others who want him to step aside...
when I read the article it almost seems like a plant....but we will wait and see.....link is below under News Articles Links

There you have it.....The Straight Talk Express with Straight Talking MikE.....Another positive Night of News

During the Q & A we discussed at length the things in the community now about Wells Fargo and the phone numbers being given out to the community to call to set up accounts.....BE AWARE AND LISTEN TO THIS INFORMATION...There is NO reason to run out and rush to do these type of things ..There will be plenty of time to do these things when the RV happens...
Its not like you are only going to have 24 hrs to get these things in place....you will have time...
We will open up our lines when this RV happens - please be careful right now and dont get taken advantage of thinking you have to have all of this set up now...we dont know what the rules are yet...you can cost yourself alot of money ....We have already discussed how some things that are out in the community are the incorrect things to do for some people and you can cost yourself alot of money if done certain ways...please there is NO rush......everybody is talking
about the bank packages out there - we have plenty of info on our website on private bankers that can offer you the
same things - dont feel like someone has to do all of this stuff for you.....you can set it up in a couple of days
I go to the banks very quickly and set up things - bankers love to set up accounts - it can be done in minutes...there are
plenty of bankers ready to open your account ...very simple process
Don't put yourself in a vulnerable position where you are risking funds you are putting out there by giving your credit
card #s...it could put you in a world of hurt when this all goes down...even more so after this goes down...they
have your information you are more at risk at that point.....

Straight Talking Mike Recaps and summarizes tonights news
(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed - so much great information shared
the following is just the recap of the articles discussed on the call)

We heard tonight from our friend Tariq straight from Iraq....
Diana reminded everyone about what has happened to Tariq with the difficulties he has had in obtaining his VISA to get back to the US
after working with our troops....He is doing very well....for all of you who have followed his plight he was a translator who helped our troops
He helped out alot of people in Iraq even after the war ended he helped to out contractors who were doing things that were wrong
He has been trying to get a Visa to get out of the country with no luck..He finally got a invitation to work with Mircosoft Technologies after he got certified and will be coming to the US in April - he has applied for his Business Visa to be able to attend and come to the US
He is asking anyone who has any kind of product, service, etc that he can help you market in Iraq, he would love to hear from you
and if your product or service is accepted, he will meet with you while he is here in April in Orlando...he would love to help you market your products in Iraq and it will help him stay in the US longer and help you get your products into Iraq....Please do this before April 1 as it has to be submitted and approved before then...California, Florida, Virginia is already 3 of the states he will be going to at this time
You can go to the link below to get all of the information about how to possibly get your product accepted by Tariq and meet with him while heis here in the US...short window of time so please do it soon...
Link to the Information on Tariq and for submission of your products
http://www.theiqdteam.com/contact-tariq.html

He updated us a little bit about what is going on in Iraq..it was 4AM in Iraq...
He talked about the people being educated and being able to understand that there is going to be some sort of revalue soon
He is excited about the value going to be added to the currency....in his words the RV is much more of a reality now...getting
closer day by day...all the steps are being taken...printing the money and getting everything thru for that process
He understands there is a training period going on - the government employees are the first being taken thru this process
He talked about that it would be a smooth process and that it is going to be a 2 yr process and they understand the old currencies
and the new currencies will work together throughout that 2 yr process so they can make the exchange very easy
and how noone should be in a rush to cash in their dinars..there will be time
One of the things he did say - it was his opinion that the currency would not revalue until after the Arab Summit because of the amount of security and how they need to make sure that there is nothing going on...he even talked about security coming to his home and checking the place where he lives day in and day checking to be sure noone will do any harm to the people coming in for the Summit
He also said that there would be, as we have said before, when the RV occurs there will be a tremendous amount of confusion
and that they want to help decrease that confusion going on at the same time....makes perfect sense when you think about it...and common sense as we use on this call that thats going to happen in that manner
He talked about the currency being exchanged only at the govt banks and not the private banks which is good so the govt can control that - they all understand that all of the things we read tonight he told us about and re-confirmed alot of things we have said in the past and they are ready for that

The government seems to be on track moving forward
there seems to be a problem with the Iraqi list that has been avoided...still seeing that play out
and we still think we will see the Natl Conf before the Summit and that they will all come together getting their government moving in the right direction
Oil revenues expected to double and we heard it from Tariq they are drilling all over the country and how the economy and things are moving in very positive light
When Tariq was on our call in the past, he was not quite sure about this whole RV process...he has since then changed his opinion
and if you did not have a chance to hear him speak you will want to
listen to the excitement in his voice when he was talking about all that is going on in the country on the replay

News recap....
CBI
Makes sense when Tariq talked about the government employees being the 1st group of people to get the information out to from the government...this makes alot of sense to me know that this is what they are doing letting the retirees know what they are trying to do ....more education to let them know that things are changing...to get ready for the change and as Tariq said he understands that there is going to be change and it is going to be a very profitable change for them
Great that we have had confirmation about the training and this is exactly what they are telling us again tonight to let them know that things are changing
It sounds like they all seem to understand what that process is inside the country and that internal process and they are not fearful of that process...sounds like it all working like thought it was

We read a Great article stating "The Central Bank of Iraq has reached advanced stages of preparation for the project to delete the three zeroes from the Iraqi currency, and after obtaining approval from the federal government to implement it will be working on a larger scale as a project is a strategic interest to the general public of Iraqi." Tariq expressed this same sentiment

As we have discussed, what we have to realize is what is going to happen inside the country and outside of the country are two different things....they will reduce the level in country but over here, we will get an exchange rate outside the country because we do not have to exchange our dinars...we do not need it for every day so we will get an exchange rate outside the country so we will get whatever the CBI rate is ..we do not have to exchange ours...it is for the local economy that they are doing this ........so whatever that value is will buy things...it will be a larger value but we will get an exchange rate - how they determine that exchange rate would have to be a straight exchange rate per how many dinars you turn in - because they are going to run concurrent....he talked about it running for 2 yrs...run side by side

We discussed an article - key in this article - They took 2 billion US dollars - they are de-dollarizing the economy taking that off and forcing the Iraqi people to use the dinar and you can see that the street changers as Tariq even talked about tonight are trying to make a profit out there so they are noticing these dollars are coming off the market and they are trying to make their profit because they are getting scarce and we know they have to de-dollarize to have them use only one currency and eventually that currency has to be worth more than what that dollar can buy them or Tariq will continue to do what he does - go after the street changers and get dollars for his dinars so he can buy more of what he can in the country.....
Huge to see de-dollarization happening - looks like it is going on
To hear Tariq come on and actually tell us what we have been saying is actually happening and sees it out in the streets and in the news and that he understands this is very important.........is all very very good

Turning to the government...
We read an article......All oil is bought with dollars - would love to have that changed to dinar....You may ask yourself why would they want to do that?
Tariq said this tonight on the call... ...these are from Economic Committees - 40% of the people work for the government -they understand that they need to increase the value of their dinar so it would seem right to them to say hey lets buy oil with our our dinar to increase the value of our dinar so that we can have more value...the dollars are disappearing from the streets...the value has not been added to the system yet where they have an exchange rate thats comparable to what it should be
So you've got these economic comittees saying hey lets do that....well that would be very difficult to do that because if they started to do that the US would smack them down very quickly...because we want to keep continuing using the oil dollar as we move forward so you can see where they are starting to get some of these ideas to increase the value....they understand they need to increase the value and as Tariq said he understands that there has to be a revaluation...some sort of RV...they have to add value to the dinar so they can use it in the everyday...

Iraq renewed its threat to boycott the govt if there are not met in 72 hrs...then denied it later
sounds like they are playing hardball right now
trying to get this natl. conv together and they are trying to get the summit together and sounds like
they are really batting everything around in the political arena
all positive articles I read today...this was the only negative thing we read today...things are moving forward

We discussed Finance will adopt the customs tarrif June 1, 2012..."the application of the customs tariff would help facilitate Iraq's accesion to the WTO"
moving things forward very quickly....they know what they are doing....dominoes are in place....sounds like they are working forward toward the WTO - want to be a good member in the WTO....and they need to have their taxes and tariffs in place and
that they have a plan for their taxes and tariffs.....and they definetely have to RV before they are in place.

"Straight Talkin" Mike recaps and summarizes tonights News:
(Listen to the recording for all of the detailed analysis of the articles discussed - so much great information shared...the following is just the recap of the articles discussed on the call)

The Dominoes are falling.....

CBI had some GREAT announcements...
We discussed that they have the currency printed for the new currency which we had discussed many times that this was done in many articles we have discussed...they pretty much told the Kurdish people... look its going to have your picture on it

We talked about the de-dollarization thats going on that the people on the street are starting to wonder...where all the dollars are going.....everybody thinks they went out when the Americans left...these articles are all part of the training we have discussed....
You can see how hard Shabibi's job is ...Its part of the process that keeps continuing to happen.....GOOD STUFF
SHABIBI IS DOING HIS THING AND MOVING FORWARD
THE SHABIBI TRAIN KEEPS MOVING ALONG FULL STEAM AHEAD

Dr Shabibi in no uncertain terms has come out and said there is very little counterfeiting going on...stop it with the articles...I've got records to show you in the banks if you want it...
We can keep it and give it to you, so just stop it - you are hurting the economy..you are hurting people by saying that there is tons of this stuff out there
As we have discussed many times......again it makes no sense to us that there is tons of this out there because you just can't counterfeit things that are of very low value and try to make any money out of it...it just doesn't make any sense other than the threat of counterfeiting has done more damage than the counterfeiting itself.....

We read an article on FOREIGN INVESTMENTS UP TREMENDOUS LAST YEAR....everybody is profiting and doing well....the numbers in this article were astounding....UP ALMOST 50-60%...in certain cases they are thriving...PEOPLE ARE RUNNING TO IRAQ FAST

We turned to the Internals of the country
We understand they are going to be getting 3G as soon as they can get the frequency or bandwidth for it which should come shortly...they are going to be up to date with all of their technology - faster phones, etc...this is just incredible.....thats alot of technology...another thing they have that is on the cutting edge of technology.....wonderful information......we have been talking about that for a long time

We read about the government needs to activate the law of payment on credit so they can go ahead and start the banks financing some of these projects that are out there... so that people dont have to come to Iraq with $50 billion they can start using the banks to finance projects and to help their economy grow...
Using other peoples money is very important for the banking system..
If you look at Modern Money Mechanics on our website under Pre & Post RV Information you will understand how important this is - fractional banking...needs to be in place for that....If you look at the Future of Iraq Project on our website - look at the last chapter which is the Banking System..the last part of that talks about how they need these banking systems to be set up - this is part of the final part of that document...needs to be in place and they are ready to go...sounds like they are getting ready to be a very productive economy & in order to be a productive economy you have to have a means of exchange that is worth something...they are putting all of these things in place so that when that means of exchange happens...people can do things....3G....buy cell phones...all of the modern things....they can start to buy and have things like that....the economy will flourish very very very well moving in the right direction ....
ALL GOOD...DOMINOES KEEP ON FALLING

We talked about Talabani coming back to town he's arrived in and in good health with all his medical tests from the United States (wink wink) at least thats what he was telling us he was doing in the US. - we think there is some sort of medical issue with him,,but he's back for what we think is going to be the National Meeting next week some time..they should announce it maybe over the weekend...All major parties are back in town

We talked about Hashemi's 3 followers getting life sentences
and of course, we talked about Kuwait and we talked about what was the importance of Hashemi? ....these are all political feathers, bargaining chips that everybody has in their cap
The reason Maliki wanted to go and have a very successful visit in Kuwait is because he can come back and say I was the Prime Minister that solved all of the issues in Kuwait and got us out of Chapter 7....Pretty big feather

Allawi can come in and say you've got 3 life sentences on these followers of Hashemi...we really want to keep Hashemi out of this can we do that?...thats a bargaining chip for him

Talabani got his bargaining chip earlier which was the printing of the currency where we talked about the currency showing the struggle of the Kurds....
Why can't we just all get along?
That should be the theme for the upcoming Conference They tried to force it thru earlier this week but it kinda failed because Maliki was out of the country but he's back now in the country...he's got what he needs behind his belt so I think we will see probably see some movement on that before the Arab Summit

There were a couple of articles I want to touch on not discussed in the news analysis
Articles talking about the payment for the Arab Summit needs to go to the Parliament...everybody is worried they are going to cancel the Summit.....They are not going to cancel it...
what happened they had put in the budget armored cars for all of the political figures coming the people got upset about all of these armored cars.
They have an opportunity now to take the budgeting that was "off budget" for the Arab Summit and put it "on budget"
so they will vote away the cars and give the money to the Arab Summit and they will go forward...no if ands or buts
Nobody is waiting on anything for this to RV to get paid for anything
Just moving it around..it is just a budgetary move like we would do here in our country..when we have something off budget we need to pay for...we would take from one program and put it in another

Alot going on but its more Kuwait and what has gone on with Kuwait thats really meant alot for what is happening for the RV
GETTING OUT OF CHAPTER 7 IS HUGE ...we discussed this was a HISTORICAL TRIP - we discussed all of things discussed
in Kuwait were huge......
I saw an article today that Kuwait is now at 80% of their debt has been forgiven..they only have 20% remaining....the reason this is so signficant is once they come out of chapter 7 they are only at risk
for 20% of people coming back at them for these debts that are out there..and you will probably get very few who will come back at them for that...it was very important for them to relieve the debt before they come out of chapter 7
they've got a huge move on that......
Thats going to help them in three things...
IT WILL HELP THEM WITH THE IMF....IT WILL HELP THEM WITH THE RV and HELP WITH THEIR ASCENSION TO THE WTO
because they are going to be a GOOD FREE TRADING COUNTRY with VERY LITTLE DEBT cleared up from the past and able to move forward

Defense Summit being held in Erbil two days before the Summit
and we were hoping that we would have a Defense Minister that is not an acting Defense Minister before that....that still can happen...but it will more than likely be the last thing announced

Parliament in session on Sat and Sunday to get whatever they need to do to get it done...having problems getting everyone to show up..2/3 showing up.....but they need everybody to show up

There you have it.....The Straight Talk Express with Straight Talking Mike...Another Great Night of News...MOVING FORWARD FULL STEAM AHEAD

"Straight Talkin" Mike summarizes tonights News:

AWESOME Couple of Days of News
When you have read the news for as long as we have
you look for things and you wait for the things to come out
It started yesterday morning and just did NOT stop all day long
Great positive articles about all of the things we have been waiting to see
Deb had a hot line to Mike all day long...
It was just an incredibly AWESOME couple of days for news....

Mike shares some highlights not in the news articles we went over
Allawi is back....Maliki went to Kuwait today..left a day early
we saw articles where Joe Biden had a conversation with Maliki and Kuwait....about how Kuwait is going to lift them out of Chapter 7 and the US supports....all of that and I am sure there were many others things said.....we weren't in the room
We saw the White House Press Release and another article about the conversation between them... actually the article stated the conversation was 432 words...would love to have been
a fly on the wall for that....

While Maliki was out....Mr Allawi decided he was going to complain to Turkey which was a bad move to ask them to put pressure on Maliki to give him what he wants...more power
and Erbil...saw an article where Allawi & Barzani they are going to go ahead with the Natl Meeting....I am so glad those 2 agree......legends in their own minds are they?
Getting a little exiciting here....They are starting to wrangle for their political lives right now and everbody wants to be positioned well for where they are at when this all comes down the pike
and the fact that everybody is coming back on the scene again to try to take their a piece of the pie.....it means we are really close to that pie being divied up.... put in the oven... and baking

Kuwait is moving along...dont know if we are going to hear anything...lots of articles about Kuwait
My belief is that Chapter 7 is just a mere formality...the United Nations is there...everybody is talking with Kuwait..all good
The Port of Mubarek has become a mute point because Iraq has opened up an oil platform in the sea where they can actually load their oil onto tankers and get it out in bulk not over Pipelines, ...because pilelines have to go to a storage facility ..they get loaded on a truck and they go over land and they can only do so many gallons   to get that out to the customer but on a ship they can put a whole oil tanker full of oil together and when it pulls into a port
they get paid for it immediately then..theres no liability there...
On the other end, if they have a pipeline blow up or someting goes wrong or they lose oil you've got people who can not be great on the other end....its a better transaction in the oil industry for them when they can load it up...
Now that they were able to load their first tanker and get it off today it really put the pressure on Kuwait because it makes Port Mubarek a little less attaractive to them....and Kuwait knows it now....that gambling chip they held is no longer a bargaining chip...kinda neutralized that....its all over but for the figuring out the borders between Kuwait and Iraq and they stopped stealing the oil down below...they will come up with some kind of agreement where they will pay the southern part of that country for the oil that they are getting....and it will all be worked out
Its not official but its all getting hashed out here...still think it will be a major announcment when he gets back..but it will be a major announcement between now and the Arab Summit to really let everybody know they are in good shape
So Everything was very positive about Kuwait.

Offical Holiday set for Arab Summit March 27-29....and that there will be a ban on civil aviation as part of security efforts

Now to the News we discussed and analyzed tonight:

The Dominoes are falling

Great article about the Central Finance Committee knowing they need to increase the value of the dinar against the dollar...we've read these articles..they've come out and very exciting

IT'S A GREAT DAY FOR THE CBI ...
WE KNOW THEY ARE READY TO GO -
Shabibi can truly do this at any point in time - he doesn't have to wait for anything or anybody
He's holding out for hope that there is a unified government so he doesn't do something that creates an imbalance out there
and he ends up having a political imbalance that ends up adding strife to the country as opposed to having Erbil in place and everybody is happy ...because the money will make them happier...it will make things better for them if everything is in place

We talked about inflation and that they are starting to experience inflation...indicator of things that put pressure on the RV to happen

THE DOMINOES HAVE STARTED TO FALL...
We know that the National Meeting is going forward
they've got all the Councils ..they have met with everything
They have decided that this National Comm is the place where they are going to solve all of their political issues
They want to implement Erbil
They want to solve any outstanding issues with Hashemi & Mutlag
They want to make sure that they get everything implemented including the HCL Law
Everything that is on the blocs is going to be done thru this meeting
and the meeting is ready to be scheduled
its just a matter of when they are going to schedule this meeting and go
They've had VERY POSITIVE MEETINGS
Everyone has agreed on the agenda
Everybody has agreed on what they want to do..its just a matter of getting all these parties in the right place at the right time so they can do what they need to

We talked about the National Cards being implemented ...this is great news
We've been talking about a means to get the oil revenues out to the people...this is a quick easy way to do that - implementing
this with this National ID Card....get those oil revenues into the peoples hands...HUGE NEWS

We talked about the financial mechanism for the distribution of the oil revenues to the citizens....they are ready to go

We discussed the Oil & Gas Law - Will be approved after the National Meeting....this will get done....
Just astounds me how these politicians can drag out things that are so simple....National Meeting dragged out for a whole month now.... meetings after meetings....it will get done...they need to do it - we will find out in the next few days when that National Meeting will be
My guess is the earliest they can have this is Monday or Tues of next week... it can happen as early as Thur...or happen over the weekend...we will start to hear more Wed & Thursday

Council of Ministers had a meeting on March 6 and this is what came from that meeting...they've been working...we got to see what they kinda agreed upon...thats sorta the Cabinet that surrounds the Prime Minister - they vote on certain laws...they enact certain things
they have certain powers that they are able to do and
they need to do their job because they are the ones that can probably need to do anything on the financial end
that if this RV needs to go thru that they need to probably do some sort of check off on it
They Did talk about some financial issues that they passed in this particular meeting
so it was productive - we are seeing them act as they need to
and we also noticed that they voted to allocate funds from this years budget to go ahead and pay for the Arab Summit-$100 Billion
We talked about the many questions we get about how this Summit is going to be paid for...and how the RV is NOT contigent on one single event
There is not one event that is going to let us know when this RV will occur...Don't try to time this event based on any events...the only one that wins is the dinar dealers....
This is going to happen when Shabibi feels that he has his government is place....and he feels it is time....not based on any one event that occurs.
All things are moving in the right direction and they are doing well

There you have it.....The Straight Talk Express with Straight Talking Mike....INCREDIBLY AWESOME Night of News

"Straight Talkin" Mike summarizes tonights News:

The Dominoes are in place
This leads me to the summary for tonight...
Where are we at in this process? Everybody asks that question including me...Where are we at.....
We read some great articles from the CBI today
The CBI has talked and started a committee for the deletion of the three zeroes
They've set a timeline of September to have this done
They've also stated from the CBI that they want to have the 2013 to be adopted with the new budget ...dollars from the new money that is there
They start deliberating on that budget in Sept
so they need to know what the value of that currency is in September

Leap forward...We discussed the IMF
IMF came out and said We like your banking system
You've completed everything we have asked you to complete in the banking system because they had some things to complete
you need to make sure your govt owned banking system ..you divest from that and you move forward in giving the national banks the opportunity to come in and do the things that they do
They've agreed to looking at the budget and saying that there current budget looks good...Everything is great - we are happy with it and BY THE WAY WE SUPPORT THE DROPPING OF THE 3 ZEROES
which in turn builds pressure onto the Parliament to get things done

We Learned they are ready to discuss the agenda for the National Meeting
We know that the Natl Meeting needs to be done
My opinion is that in this National Meeting they are going to really
come to the formation of their government and seeing how it is run
we've see glimpses of that over the last week and 1/2 with articles we have read that They are starting to act and we are starting to see different people coming to the forefront
If you look at the news...The Kurds, Barazni they have new governments forming underneath..their branches underneath them...people are moving around
Allawi stepped to the wayside...alot of different players moving along...This is the precursor to this National Conference to get these players in place to move forward

We are hearing Kuwait is ready to invest in Iraq and that is kinda all done

We talked about the WTO.....

As we have pushed all of those things off there is great pressure for Shabibi to #1 get this done
Shabibi has put alot of information out to the public
He's put pressure on Parliament because he knows by September he has to have his new currency out which has to have some kind of value so that they can ascertain what that budget is going to be
We talked earlier that you've got coins and things that you are printing..they have specific value so you can't put out currency thats going to be less valuable than whats printed on it or what you are putting out

All these things together - when they start talking about dropping the 3 zeroes they are talking about worn torn countries getting their economy back on and thats done by the process we know of as RV'ing or reinstating...we know they had a strong viable currency in the past of 3.22 befroe all of that... before the war and in the 70's they had a very viable currency that was pretty much out there and backed....We know that they have the resources....seeing articles that are telling us that there resources are very deep and the oil resources are bigger and better than expected...

That there outlook for being in OPEC is just tremednous
they are going to head that..they are going to be a part of that

You have the Arab Summit coming at the end of this month which is very important for Iraq to put on a good face...to make sure that they can present a country that is together..... a country that has one vision to move forward and that people want to deal with them and go forward
and you are going to hear articles coming up on getting the last thing out of the way..which is the HCL agreement done
and theres alot of articles out there...still fighting about it...nothing really definitive yet....
Its all moving toward this pressure point
That pressure point is the Arab Summit
They need to make sure there government gets done and that they look like a government..not necessarily that they have Rv'd their currency but they definitely need to make sure their government is in place and that they can function and get the Arab countries to come together and invest
Two....how can they sit there and talk about the other regimes problems because the arab conference is going to come out with things about Iran and Syria and tell them we want you to be better government and all of this other stuff
you look kinda funny if your government is not set or stable...to go ahead and call other peoples government unstable
and we want you to do this..so it takes away from the credibility of all of that nonsense when thats out there

Theres a good amount of pressure being pushed forward
and I think you see alot of that being expressed in the community out there....
We dont know the date and time he is going to RV
We certainly see the pressure points are building
We certainly know his drop dead date is Sept to get his currency out there and to delete the 3 zeroes...and RV....somewhere along that process he has to do that RV

He is pressured to the point because he's got inflation going on
that he has to do something soon and I dont think hes talking about waiting til Sept. to get that done based on what I have seen
Although he probably can wait if he is pushed
It all relies on the government being seated and that they are moving forward..he's got the support of the IMF...he's got the support of the World Bank
He has everything he needs other than his government acting and functioning like a good government
And doing what they said they were going to do..get Erbil done...etc
And truly more so to him than the government, I think it is the HCL....
he needs to know that those contracts are going to be signed - and not disputed and there is not going to be a problem with the oil reveneus because his economy is based on those oil revenues
so if you look at the HCL agreement he probably puts more weight on that than he does the ministers at this point in time
Because if he doesn't how they are going to signed...Are there going to be lawsuits that come up because something is not signed properly or not properly in place...not done according to the constitution its going to be a way hurt on his economy in the future when everything starts to bubble up and they start making lots of money and that stuff comes up

Looking at a really really difficult period of time for him to make sure these things get cleared up
So theres many many marbles in play

He seems to be ready to go and ready to do what he needs to do
once he feels comfortable that those couple of things left to move forward are done...
The Dominoes have started tipping..alot closer than we were year and a half ago....and again I always caution we don't know what we don't know......we don't know what needs to be done...what things have to be passed ...we can see them after the fact
We can guess at those but there are things that will need to get done
He's just got so much information out there now
that he is ready to do this and that he is done - he has been showing that signal lets hope parliament gets that signal and they can get it done so he can get r done...and we can all GET R DONE

MRI Guide
Mike & Deb discuss the 3 updates concerning Iraq that were posted in the MRI Guide "Bankers Guide to Foreign Currency" which is a publication to let Bankers, etc know everything they need to know about foreign currency.

While there were no pictures of the New denoms (just articles) we are keeping an eye on this book...it is a great thing the banks are acknowledging this in these updates and that they should see a new currency

We always get people who ask is this really going to happen?
There is so MUCH GREAT INFORMATION OUT THERE..and this is one more resource that tells us that something is going on with this currency...at some point in time there is going to be some new denoms issued and that they are going to revalue that currency
Telling the banks that subscribe that something is going on with the currency

Book with updates
Update pages Nov 2011.....3 different postings about Iraq since Nov. 2011....2 linked to news articles and One discussing weight of the notes...Thanks to Delta for sharing this information about the postings with the dinar community and us..

"Straight Talking" Mike summarizes tonights News:

We discussed an article where Saleh came out and talked about inflation and how inflation is on their radar screen now and this is from the Central Bank its NOT from an economist..directly from them and basically he reiterated they will do what they need to do to protect their currency from inflation because that is what there job is.....I think that was kinda a shot to really let everybody know in Parliament that inflation is creeping up....We have a housing problem...we have a goods problem...and THIS NEEDS TO BE SETTLED NOW.......you are passing tariff laws and you want to add to this....not going to let that happen.....WE ARE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS....WE ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD

We also discussed that an economist is coming out who looks like he is a frontrunner for laying out whats going to happen in the deleting of the 3 zeroes...how the country needs to decrease its monetary supply...
Its a great article to take a look at..IT JUST LAYS OUT ALL THE REASONS WHY THEY NEED TO RV
decrease their money supply, add value to it, to dedollarize the country..to make sure they get what they want...
its not sexy...it doesn't talk about a rate but it does talk about them being able to make transactions easier for the banks ...make transactions easier for the people...get rid of these large notes that have very little value..get something that has value...add more value than a dollar into the hands of the people so that they can be confident and spend that ...This is all part of the training process going on..
Inch by inch we've been watching this training process going on
In our minds we might have thought it was going to be on the Large TV screens but it is a series of articles, people going out, getting with the students, series of getting to the people...Because remember the biggest problem they are going to have is the people being afraid of the money that comes out or afraid it wont have any value and they wont give up their dollar...THEY REALLY NEED TO GET THEM ON THEIR OWN MONETARY SYSTEM...they have to be able to go out and get a loaf a bread and get a dinar for that back...not a dollar...they have got to get rid of the two trading systems and have just one.....very important for the life blood of the CBI to make sure that they set the median of exchange for the country and everyone uses that median of exchange
Long long time ago before we had banks we used to take rocks and gold and we would go and we would sit there...we would make sure we bought whatever we did..we paid in gold nuggets for whatever we bought...well the banks came in and said well we want to sit there...we want to give you a median exchange...take your gold put it in our vaults and we are going to give you some paper that has the value of that gold and you can spend it and then when it is all gone you have to go find more and thats what the banks do...thats what they want to do and thats what the CBI wants to do here

We discussed the Gold production and how Turkey is coming in to help them with the Gold Production
Most excitingly they want to help the bank handle gold transactions and put that in there
Gold is a huge huge resource for this country and it is an underdeveloped situation for them right now to get that out of the ground and going and to have Turkey and others come in and put them into this position to go forward and to take advantage of that is ABSOLUTELY GREAT

We read an article about how difficult it is to cash a check in Iraq from Reuters....and then we read an article after that talking about how the Ministry of Education is going to have Smart cards, all kinds of credit cards and ATM machines and we discussed maybe we should send that article to the guy at Reuters after saying it was very difficult to cash a check and that the banking system just stinks in Iraq.....We have discussed over and over for months how advanced they really are...
So be aware not everybody understands the Middle east
not everyone has good reason to go and do their research to write good factual stories about it....they just put out articles about it on what they either think of believe
Its lazy reporting from the side of the West where you have people there that are excited about their country and want to get some things out
You have to take it with a grain of salt with whatever you read in the papers but it seems we are alot farther along than everybody else would like everyone else to think

We learned the BUDGET WAS RATIFIED by President Talabani before he got on a plane to come to America
We've read that the Council of ministers have COMPLETED ITS RULES OF PROCEDURES to move forward between the political blocs... thats kinda the ruling party of all three blocs
and there were procedures that needed to be laid down by Erbil in order for them to get things done...we've heard alot talk about them getting things done according to the constitution
I think the constitution ends up giving a little more power to Talabani and also lets that Power Sharing Erbil Agreement that they voted on
actually be IMPLEMENTED and I think we are starting to see that..we are starting to see a change in the political way things are getting done over there

We read about Parliament going into SECRET SESSION and they are voting on things that they didn't let anyone know what they voted on
and then we read about the meeting with the WORLD BANK, IMF & IRAQ ...giving a report to the IMF about whats going on in their country behind closed doors for hours....
Then we discussed about the WTO and Iraq and possibly being a GOOD PARTNER TO BE IN THE WTO because of whats going on and how much there is going to be business in that country to bring alot of people over...ALL GREAT INFORMATION!!

There is alot going on out there...SO MUCH MOVING FORWARD....
We've seen the political situation ease up....We've got the convention coming up and that seems to be less and less of a problem and we have always said that they are handling alot of things in these pre-meetings with the Conventions and it looks like alot is getting done.....looks like what we may see is a couple of things that are just primarily for political purposes so that when they do have that convention they will announce everything..come out as their government getting ready to head to the Arab Summit at the end of the month
Don't get caught up in thinking that an RV has to happen in order for them to do any of these things
They can do all of these things and not have an RV happen
The RV is an independent event of any other event that is going on
however having those things in hand make them look much better with their trading partners when they come in.....seems to be a pressure to get alot of these things done and get them over the hump
THE DATES ARE STARTING TO SHRINK IN ON THEM ON WHEN THEY CAN GET THESE THINGS DONE

I dont know when that RV is going to take place....I have no idea what the date is or the rate is but on my checklist of things that we are looking for to get done to check off ....that checklist is getting smaller...and smaller..and smaller
so that GIVES SHABIBI PLENTY OF WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY TO START TO DO WHAT HE WANTS TO DO
AND DECIDE WHEN HE WANTS TO ADD VALUE
We've often said he wants to see a stable government and that situation to get cleaned up and it certainly looks like it is getting cleaned up fairly well as we are starting to see it in the articles as they are coming out

As we discussed the Tax & Tariff Law was enacted and June 30 is the day Tax and tariff law starts taxing the citizens...thats speaks volumes right there
Remember we read May was when they hoped to be out of Chapter 7 because thats how long we are going to gauarantee their funds for..
See how that timeline is moving forward and forward......drawing us a picture
Unless we are really wrong about what we are seeing I certainly understand you can't pass tariffs when you have no value to your money...it just makes no economic sense whatsoever.......it kills the economy....forget about anything else .....Its like sand with water coming in and your trying to dig a ditch when that happens
and we all know Shabibi is alot smarter than that

There you have it.....The Straight Talk Express with Straight Talking Mike....Another night of Great Positive News

"Straight Talkin" Mike summarizes tonights News:

We talked about a couple of articles on the economy/CBI
Several economists have come out and said this is great
We are on board with the deletion of the zeros and we need to get this done now because the longer we wait the more damage its going to cause to the economy
They said...hey this has been done before..don't be afraid of it people....
WERE GOING TO INCREASE THE VALUE OF WHAT YOU HAVE...
IT WILL BE A POSITIVE THING FOR THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ
This is excellent...becomes more and more training for the people so that they can understand that THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE NEW CURRENCY AT SOME POINT IN TIME AND THAT CURRENCY IS GOING TO HAVE MORE VALUE AND THEY ARE GOING TO ENJOY THE BENEFITS...
That other countries have done this before...Turkey has done it the wrong way and they are going to be able to do it even better because they have seen how this is done the wrong way
When Turkey devalued their currency before they did anything
and even Shabibi has mentioned this in the past before that is something for him to learn from but he's got a better idea
its great to have a case study of this going on and happening
It certainly good to see these articles out there and we are seeing them every day

We talked about the oil money being held in US Banks and that this really doesn't have an effect on the RV but what it really does have an effect on is Chapter 7 and that they want that protection so people can't come and take their funds..oil funds and do what they want to do with those oil funds
We talked about maybe Egypt trying to get in and taking these funds laying claim to them while they are still in Chapter 7
and they have no protection to protect these things....people can sue them..come take them and they wouldn't have any rights to them
because they are in Chapter 7 and they would have to divy these things up if someone layed claim to that
Well By May of this year hoping to get full control of those funds..which is great - helps their economy...but the biggest things is thats probably the latest date when they are going to be out of Chapt 7 ...we believe much sooner

We read tonight that Chapter 7 is in the hands of the UN
Kuwait has said we have been satisfied with everything that you all have done...We are happy - there is not a problem with the Port of Mubarek..its okay ...were good...we've cleared up everything
they've sent word to Talabani that they are going to be at Arab Summit this year and that they are anxious to be there....to participate
Saudia Arabia is going to be there...we talked about the Coalition
of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq becoming a force to be recogned with in the oil induistry
One of the articles we didn't read is that they've elected one of the people from Baghdad to be the head of OPEC for them
That is a very very big position so it looks like Baghdad is going to have control of OPEC and going to be a force to be recogned with on OPEC
Between the 3 of these countries they should have a big influence on what the price of oil is going to be and THATS GOOD NEWS FOR US
and that Saudi Arabia is our ally and they are trying to get this voting bloc together for the future of keeping those prices somewhat stable although things can happen to move those things up...we are hoping that that can be a positive thing that can happen

We read an article on them about getting the Oil & Gas Law together because it can affect their economy
they are moving forward...lots is going on...
We talked about the oil funds....its about time they decide who is going to sign those contracts
I think what it is going to end up with is that that Baghdad is going to be signing those contracts and/or okaying those contracts
as they come thru the states that will take a share of the money for that
That will help them run OPEC and do what they need to do and be very good so that they can administer these contracts from one proper place in Baghdad...thinks its ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL SEEING LOTS OF THINGS MOVING FORWARD

As we have discussed, we are starting to see that maybe the National Meeting is kinda happening in the background and they are getting these things together in these Preparatory Meetings...we read an article today that basically said maybe we dont need this meeting because its already happening and
Then I am kinda laying a little bit out there on the table tonight
saying that I think maybe we are starting to see the winds of change
We are seeing Allawai who has stepped down to take a different position- a position that maybe would help them implement Erbil
We are seeing maybe Talabani coming to the forefront..coming to the US for treatment..quote unquote
Maybe we will see something's different
Maybe we are starting to see the signs of a new government thats going to form in Iraq and move forward
Maybe Maliki is going to step aside
Maybe Talabani is going to take a more prominent role...He has always always been someone who has gotten a lot of things done
To see him take the forefront would be awesome for us and we would know he would get things done
And that he has the Iraqi peoples best interest in mind
so really lots of good things going on

If I would sum it all up..I would say things are moving forward at a pretty good pace
Dr Shabibi with him being out there and starting to talk about the RV, deleting the zeroes and wanting to do things...
He has kinda put the pressure on Parliament because these things are usually alot more quiet than this
HE IS BACKING PARLIAMENT INTO A CORNER AND SAYING GET YOUR THINGS DONE OR I AM GOING TO DO THIS...YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS TO THE ECONOMY
I AM ON A TIME FRAME AND IF YOU GUYS WANT TO PUTZ AROUND..GO AHEAD BUT I AM GOING FORWARD
AND HERE IS MY DEADLINE......you know When you see dates like Sept and Him putting a deadline out there
it is not for us its more for Parliament to say I AM SERIOUS...LETS GET THIS ON....WE ARE GETTING THIS OUT OF HERE
just a very good thing for them to be moving forward
ITS JUST BRILLIANT ON SHABIBI'S PART TO REALLY MOVE THIS FORWARD THIS WAY...ITS ALL GREAT!!

There you have it.....The Straight Talk Express with Straight Talking Mike....Another night of Great Positive News
