We all want the same thing. I'm telling you we do. Would I love for the rate to change to $3.22 per dinar? Would I love for them to keep the current currency they have without deleting the zeros when they change that exchange rate? Of course I would. But what I'm saying to you is there are many possibilities you should at least be aware of them.
I'm not saying it's going to happen one way or another for sure, I'm just saying to you there's some things out there that they're hiding from you...
What Iraq is preparing to do is delete the zeros off the currency. That's not what we wanted but that's what going to happen...Everything has to do with what's good for Iraq, not your investment.
