Iraqi Day (not a terrible news source)... tweeted out this

Then

later today...


Dinar Dave says(7:43 PM):
tweeted nothing??

BGG says(7:43 PM):
roughly 6 hours ago

Iraqi Day tweeted this...

#ISIS CALIPHATE HAS ENDED. #Iraq forces storm 4 districts in #Mosul today & gains are incredible, only 2 districts left under ISIS control.

"gains are INCREDIBLE"...

Earlier today the Fox News Ticker said that Iraqi Spec Ops and U.S. backed-Commandos had breached the final line of defense and fortifications held by ISIS in Mosul.

so I guess these GURU's saying there will a rate 5 days after Mosul is retaken are about to be "on the clock" once again...

BGG says(7:47 PM):
: D

which I care little about - but we are about to see what we see.

Prognostication - that is... I care greatly about the actual fruition of our investment.

They could actually have Mosul completely liberated by tomorrow (if they make the same gains as today).

Not that I am saying that - or predicting it... I am just putting some context on things.

Does the lentght of timeline of the currency reform havel arge enough negative consequenses to delay the economic recovery? and the

BGG says to pacella(7:55 PM):
I'm not saying I know for sure one way or the other - I do not. I doubt very much the process is a long one - it will be entirely up to them and their level of international acceptance and support.


david212 says(7:55 PM):
Is there an economic cliock ticking
david212 says(7:56 PM):
Thanks BGG

pacella says(7:56 PM):
Why would'nt the US not want it liberated?

BGG says to david212(7:56 PM):
I doubt it on both counts - IMHO.

They do need the reforms to start fairly soon - but it's not dire in some "have to" sort of way.

BGG says to pacella(7:57 PM):
not an issue - the US does want them liberated. Non-issue.

Last article excerpt.


ABNewsflash says to BGG(8:10 PM):
Sure thing

BGG says(8:10 PM):
Article: "Abadi, Sadr near alliance as Maliki renounces majority governance" Quote: "Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi is nearing an “electoral alliance” with influential Shia religious and political leader Muqtada al-Sadr in a bid to isolate former PM and premiership hopeful Nouri al-Maliki, according to a newspaper." A tipping point to change the course of Iraqi politics away from Maliki?

You bet it is.
