Tony’s Monologue: We went the whole weekend, and nothing happened. What Tony is hearing and has been told is that it was merely delayed by a day. Sometime today or tomorrow we should get started. This is what the banks and agencies are saying. They had a legitimate reason for not going and are thinking we are going tonight. Again, Iraq has nothing to do with this now. Everyone has done everything they are supposed to do. The only thing still hanging out there and that is possible WW3. The Israel attack plan was leaked and Tony was surprised there was no retaliation over the weekend. There’s no bad news. Iraq has not messed anything up yet. No bombs have landed in Iraq. Israel has bombed Lebanon but that is about it.

Q & A:

-            Is the Iranian Real still part of the first basket? The bank is still saying it will revalue and be at three something. Regardless there is a possibility you will not be able to exchange it while there are sanctions on Iran.

-            Will you put out the information for your exchange group? Supposedly Tony will be able to help a group get a better rate. They should give him an access code. Help us negotiate better rates. Tony is hoping to put that out once he gets the 800 numbers.

-            Was Iraq accepted into the WTO? They did not announce that on Sunday and it appears they have not been fully accepted into the WTO.

-            Tony feels that Israel and their action is what is holding up the rv.

-            The delegation that was in Iraq to negotiate with Iran has left without doing the negotiations. The team is now in Saudi Arabia to see if they can get something done from there.

-            There is a new deal on the table to do a 2-week truce in Gaza for 5 Israeli hostages. We will see what happens. The US is still holding Israel to a 30-day deal to get aid into Gaza.

Wrap Up: Banks are still ready to go. They were mad and disappointed that it didn’t go this weekend because they were given an exact day and time. Tony did get a reason for why it didn’t happen. Here is the good thing and that is everyone is saying it will go tonight. Iraq is not the problem, and they are good. They have gone a step beyond. The banks have the rates, and it is on their screen. They have restricted it so no exchanges will go through. It shows that we are very close. We are in a great spot and be ready.
