Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 8-28-18

8-28-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG Where are we with this investment? It’s something I get asked all the time. So many have been wrong – me included. Here are some thoughts on the current situation that may help some folks. So many say the politics don’t matter to the currency. This isn’t exactly accurate. The politics impact the economy… Iraq’s currency is, by many astute accounts, “grossly undervalued”. A basic definition of currency? It is a promissory note on the underlying economy of the country.

8-27-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni …Iran is pumping fake dinar into the market to lower the dinar exchange rate in hopes the CBI then pumps more dollars (which they can smuggle back to Iran). This is similar to what was done in 2013. None of the numbers in the media are official but the CBI does have to provide a sworn quarterly report that includes daily market rates to the IMF so they will eventually know. Starting over to meet compliance is something none of us want to see but may be a reality…The 2% spread is calculated by the IMF using the following formula Official Rate + commissions x .02 = 1214 or less. There are numerous IMF documents over the years that report the spread that can be used to determine this formula… Read more…

Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 8-26-18

8-26-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG Article: “After Abadi, Maliki and Fayyad, Maasoum met with Amiri on the largest bloc” The only thing you can be certain of, from this article – is that everyone is meeting with everyone in Iraq. Massoum met with Abadi…then with Ameri…then with Faleh al-Fayadh (national security advisor to Abadi)…and at some point he met with Maliki…None of which means all that much. Massoum mainly has a direct hand in the timeline. He establishes the first meeting of Parliament which is a marker for the formation of the new GOI. The most curious wording was that Abadi’s main thrust was just to get it moving. He and Sadr seem confident they have the biggest bloc – else why push for this quick formation? Read more…
