Member: Happy Marvelous Monday
Member: I had been hoping that we would have had an RV weekend….bummer
Member: Good morning everyone! Praying this is our RV week!
MZ: Bond holders have HUGE expectations this is their week. And more and more reports concerning this- timing wise…..Tuesday and Wednesday….most on Wednesday.
Member: I feel the pain for Bond holders, they have been promised “this week” for a long time now
Member: Mark I have a friend of mine who is a bondholder who said they don’t get their 1st tranche until tier 4 is activated.
Member: Frank26 said contractors in Iraq are po’ed because contractors have not been paid. And Trump told them to stop using dollars.
MZ: There is a lot of pressure on them to get it done on the contractor side.
Member: Frank26 also said Iraq budget article 12-2C has been passed. Now they can RV!
Member: Since the 12-2C section passed this weekend, how much more of the HCL law is left??
MZ: In Iraq: “ Central Bank of Iraq grants a license to the Nishtman bank in the Kurdistan region” This is part of HCL moving forward…. To me this means they are moving forward with the HCL agreement.
MZ: “Zabari: Mark Safay’s appointment is a bold step to restore Iraq’s sovereignty from the militia rule” He was originally Iraqi and the US is putting him in charge of doing away with the Iraqi para-military forces that were left over from battling Isis. This is a huge sticking point for peace in Iraq . Many of these forces were financed from Iran and other agencies. This was in their reform package so they can change the value.
MZ: They have just found massively more oil in Iraq. “ Unproven new oil reserves range between 45 and 100 billion barrels” Cementing its position of the third highest oil producing country in the world.
MZ: The EU is now cutting deals with Iraq and it is believed that huge percentage of energy for Europe will soon be coming directly from Iraq. This is them going international.
Member: MarkZ do you think the GCR including USA, will establish all currencies 1:1 right out the gate?
Member: I would be fine with all currencies 1 to 1…….just do it.
Member: Bloomberg reports golds rise helps emerging markets – Hmmmm
MZ: This is Andy Schectman…we talked about this last Wed. “ Zero hedge: “I have never seen anything like this” one bullion dealer sees a rupture in gold and Silver markets”
Member: Will we be taxed on this exchange?
Member: Chat GPT says anything over $200 will be taxed
Member: we don’t get taxed on the return of currency now so why would we suddenly be taxed!? doesn’t make sense to me
Member: I’ve been in a lot of countries. Bought their currency with dollars. No tax. Be very careful of the exchange rate though.
Member: About the IRS, As long as there in power they will tax all Capital Gains
Member: If it’s taxed, so be it. Still a lot more than I have in my bank right now.
Member: Wasn’t there a document from our government that was taken down saying at least proceeds from a dinar exchange would not be taxed?
Member: https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-investment-climate-statements/iraq/ section 6
Member: Prepare for the worst but hope for the best!
Member: What do you guess will be the dinar rate Mark?
MZ: I think the absolute worst will be a dollar. Realistically I expect it to be around $4 to $6.
Member: how about the Indonisian Rupiah rate?
MZ: I am still hearing $1.47…..and the dong I still think in the low $2 range. But no one will know for sure until we are at the banks.
Member: Tomorrow is Diwali day. Looked it up. It means festival of light for India and that it is good wins over evil. Interesting timing
Member: Hope everyone has a blessed day. See you tomorrow AM
