MarkZ says - A number of bankers say they are looking for something big to happen on Friday or before (That Weekend Thing Never Gets Old! LOL)

Member:  let's hope the news is GREAT and not a nothing burger

Member: It's late in the evening She's wondering what clothes to wear She puts on her make up And brushes her long blonde hair And then she asks me, "will we exchange tonight?"

Member:  Hey Mark, can we get a something burger today lol

MZ: I had a couple conversations with paymasters and groups….they had been busy getting all the updated paperwork done.

MZ: Bond people have not yet received any dollars. They still anticipate bond money this week.

MZ: There is a lot of chatter about the 20th and the 21st…..but I think there will be bond movement before that.

MZ: A number of bankers say they are looking for something big to happen on Friday or before…..they don’t know what…maybe we know what to look for? Friday could be setting up to be the perfect storm….if it doesn’t happen before then.

MZ: I have heard positive things out of the sandbox about Dubai 1,2 and 3.

MZ: There is a lot of talk out of Iraq that they do not need the full government sat , but the new government needs the new exchange rate first…..makes sense to me.

Membr: Iraq has over 350 BILLION in Foreign Reserves

Member: Mark, do they have to depeg in order to be seen on the ForEx? You would think they would to move forward internationally.

MZ: They certainly can…they have been very upfront with the desire to depeg from the US dollar at some point. ….If there is no GCR or gold treaty soon ….they said they would and they could. They are a key cog in the GCR and if they decide to go without the GCR- it will greatly affect the values of other countries. Maybe they are trying to light a fire under the GCR to get moving?   I think Iraq is in the driver’s seat. At any point the CBI could say “boom” here’s your new rate, and move forward without the rest of the world. That has to scare the folks with the Gold Treaty.

MZ: They do not have to depeg to be on forex but I think it would happen simultaneously.

Member: Somebody better get the damn lead out and do something then……

Member: been hearing the US is the holdup...

Member: There were rumors the world is mad at the US and go without them…..hope that’s false.

Member: With the US treasury dept holding dinar I don't think we will let them go without us

Member: What IDs do we take to the exchange?

Member: For appointment: two forms of IDs, utility bill, receipts for currency if you have them, currency, a spreadsheet recording all serial nums if you want, not required (to be organized)

Member: Are the redemption centers staffed this week?

MZ: Yes they are still staffed…..My 3 contacts say they are staffed and this will be an “on call” weekend. They expect to updated later on this week.

Member: Are the whales still in place?

MZ: yes. They are still there and tired of being there. 

Member: Any news on the VND?

MZ: Still expecting $2.25-$2.30….but the bank screens have been bouncing all over with higher rates this week.

Member: Dow closed at -543.34

Member: the media has to be lying to us about evergrande not being bankrupt we know they're toast just like the stock market is propped up artificially.

Member: Wells Fargo has more closed branches than open ones!!! WTH

Member: We need something to happen, just anything. We need a sign

Member: It’s going to be way too exciting when this finally happens.

Member: huge full moon outside tonight!...Everyone be sure to take a look.

Member:  hi Markz, thank you for doing what you do. really lift alot of people's spirit,

Member: I'm praying for Okie, who has lost his beloved. In sincere hope he can work through this period of time and that his health recovers soon.

Member:  See everyone tomorrow….hoping that will be our day.

Member: SEE EVERYONE TOMORROW FOR COFFEE AT 10AM EASTERN TIME.
