Dinar Quagmire

Online speculation regarding the ‘investment opportunity’ the new Iraqi Dinar represents is becoming a virtual cottage industry … However,I’m already on record as believing it’s a great way to acquire wallpaper one note at a time. With that in mind, I’ve noticed that a recent statement from the USA government has announced that they’ve ‘hit the wall’ budgetarily in Iraq;…

The Game Is The Name
