... More and more sources are telling me that serious money movement and us moving towards the banks somewhere around the 12th-15th. Noone knows the exact timing but they are certainly preparing lots of bank contacts for that time period , so I think it may speak well to where we may be on that.
I keep getting loaded up on the Rumor side …There is a lot going on and they are saying that we hit the banks sometime around July 12th. We will see what is accurate as we get closer…but my goodness, the enthusiasm from the banking side and the group side is nuts. It’s exciting but I don’t want it to be another let down.
...in Iraq they are working with the Saudi’s directly to complete undersea cable agreement for internet connectivity. Iraq is becoming a central hub for communications in the middle east. Big news for Iraq. If you are going to be a regional leader- Iraq is going to need some higher valued dinar…imo

Question: "Do you think they're letting the dinar float into its cap before they release the new rate?"
No. You have to release the rate first. Once the rate is released internationally then it can be acquired by the international community.
It'll be used in banks... Once the dinar is out there officially in the international market the friction that the Iraqi dinar is going to cause in the financial market will only cause it to get bigger and bigger and bigger in its value/rate internationally. Inside Iraq it doesn't affect it - a dinar is a dinar. The rate inside does not move, only the rate outside.
The demand on the dinar is so great right now that I think it demands a reinstatement of $3.22.
