More likely his tinnitus is acting up again.

Caller was going to banks interviewing Wealth Managers and reported that Kyle at Wells Fargo said they did not deal in Rupiah, Rupee, Dong and Dinar because they only dealt in currencies from countries that we can travel to. 

And the point?
********

Caller noticed someone had called her house phone, but didn't leave a message.  She called the number and whoever answered said they were from Chase and needed some more info - including her Social Security number.  Being an astute Dinar holder, she's not going to give her personal information out to someone she doesn't know.  Of course she was promptly hung up on.

Good for her .... but that is just common sense, not really a measure of how astute you are or are not.

She can't let it go, so she asks Ray if she might have made a mistake and wonders if Chase was calling around looking for Dinar holders.

Ray doesn't know, but does advise her not to take any wood nickels. 

Caller doesn't understand what wooden nickels have to do with holding Dinar.

Well the value is probably just about the same.

****************

Caller is all excited about what she just saw on TV and thinks it has to do with the imminent release of the RV.  Her question to Open Mic is "Has the US not been allowed to export items to other countries?".  She excitedly tells the room that for the first time in 35 years the US is now allowed to export items to other countries.

NO, that was OIL exports, and the bill has only passed the House. It is far from being a law yet, and has zero to do with any RV, although it may help keep prices lower long term and boost the economy by generating 3 or 400K jobs.

*****************

Another caller has a funny story about her Kindergarten class.  She has promised her students that she is going to take them all to Disney Land after the RV.  A student asked why it's taking so long.  She asked the kid what he meant.  He said something about driving doesn't take this long.  Ha.. Ha....

****************

A caller is having trouble in his marriage on account of the RV.  He is a big time believer, Tony follower....  lives and breathes RV, etc.  The wife is getting tired of hearing about how it's going to happen tomorrow, how rich they are going to be, thinks it was a waste of their money, etc.  He's being serious.  There really is trouble.

Ray first tells him to "kick her tail to be curb".  He goes on to say that she'll change her tune when all the money comes in and how this just isn't right because of the negative attitude she has now. 

The caller really doesn't want to end his 30+ year marriage and when Ray realizes this, he tells the man to just lie to his wife.  Don't mention Dinar at all or tell her he's gotten out of it.

I see ray is as good a marriage counselor as he is a tax adviser. Yep lying is always a good policy in a marriage, especially when he continues to spend all his time listening to Phony's calls and hanging in the chat room. He should listen to his wife.

*****************

A caller has a friend who lives in Iraq and is a movie producer.  He says Iraq would never RV because Israel would not allow it to happen because that would give too much power to Iran.

But when the caller told him that sanctions were soon to be lifted on Iran and the Rial will RV in the $3+ range the movie producer friend changed his view.  He hadn't heard about the sanctions being lifted and now says that this will force Iraq to RV because Iran can't have all that money and that things will be move quickly.
The caller should have listened to their friend.
