    KandG:  Typical Iraq - the new Admin comes out of the gate talking about a new exchange rate and here comes the Central Bank.  Kuwait did the same thing and changed it the next day I believe - according to our study, if correct - it is already changed and just needs to be published - We wait – IMO
    GMan:  No need to change it. Just release the R.E.E.R ( real effective exchange rate) ... for sure certain
    KandG:  I hear you - I will take a REER and go on about my business also
    Harvestor:  Boom!  There is an “explosion” taking place in Iraq!  It will be heard around the world by all of us investors! What an explosion of new articles!  I can imagine the dancing for joy in the streets by the citizens.  In fact, didn’t Eddie say his banker told him, “the rate will change after the seating of the Gov.”?  I bet he is excited now.  Looking forward to Franks you be tube Monday.
