Member: Good Morning and RV there yet??? Lol
Member: Happy Thursday morning to everyone in the chat room
Member: The Mayflower landed upon our Continent 400 Years ago today!!!
Member: I wonder -What is it gonna take to get this RV?
Member: Maybe after the Iraq census is finished???
MZ: We do expect the census to be wrapped up this evening as far as the in-person counting…and then a day or two for them to have the very accurate census figures. Those final figures will be done very quickly.
MZ: “Human Rights center foresees : The population census will increase the number of seats in Parliament to about 430” Their laws say they are supposed to have a representative per 100,000 people. Their population is growing and people are also returning to Iraq. Its neat seeing this process paly out. Iraq has a republic like we have in the US.
MZ: Here is an important one…..“IMF Arab country confirms its commitment to a flexible exchange rate rate” they are talking about Egypt- not Iraq. But a flexible exchange rate that can grow or shrink based on the economy .
MZ: Why is this one important? Iraq has said it wants to go to a free floating currency based on a basket of goods…Gold, Oil, Actual assets…and a basket of Middle Eastern currencies. One of the currencies in that basket is the Egyption Pound.
MZ: On the bond side- I have a number of contacts expecting dollars by the end of the day TODAY. I hope they are accurate. My biggest holder however is saying “Not yet but we are extremely close” that contact still believes we will have a fantastic Thanksgiving this year…and he is one of the top bond facilitators in the world.
Member: Those poor bond holders have been cried “Wolf” to more often than we currency holders.
Member: plz discuss the plus and minuses of holding currency in a bank safety deposit box
MZ: The US government in the past has shown its ability and willingness to invade your privacy and personal property rights. And take “security boxes”. It has done this a number of times. Ask yourself if you are willing to risk it or not?
Member: EBS has been going off in Michigan for 3 days now saying it is a test
Member: Here in Naples, Fl. have been getting EBS for specific counties. I had never seen that before.
Member: Yes, the EBS system went off yesterday at around 11 AM it hit all of our phones at once scared the crap out of us
Member: Who will our notifications for exchanges come from?
Member: You will be notified by Mark or Dinar Recaps. I do not expect an email.
Member: Also TNT, Frank, Bruce, and all the dinar sites will be letting us know. We will not miss it.
Member: Honestly if this doesn’t go by the end of the year- I’m going to put the currency on the shelf and step away
Member: We may be waiting for after the first of the year or the inauguration on Jan 20th. Hang in there.
Member: And Sudani is hoping to have monetary reform in Iraq finished by Dec 10th…..allegedly. also Auctions ending in Iraq by the end of the year……they would need a new rate on the dinar if that happens.
Member: Are you expecting something big tomorrow Mark?
MZ: No- but I am expecting something big very soon. A number of sources are expecting something big tomorrow. We will see.
Member: Bought a new suit 5 years ago round Thangsgiving as we were pretty sure we were going then ! Still in the suit bag,
Member: Maybe its time to wash and press the “go to the bank” clothes again?
Member: Blessings and let's pray this is our week!!
