9-24-2014 *Adam Montana ~You might not believe this at first, and you probably need to sit down before you read this next sentence...Parliament actually moved a date UP for possibly the first time in recorded history! Even crazier than that groundbreaking, record setting, earth shattering news is this... THEY ACTUALLY DID IT! But wait, it gets better! On the table today or tomorrow is the Budget, which is always a big pain in the neck... but...they are talking about a paltry increase (from 17% to 20%) in funds to Kurdistan. Let me piece that together real quick: Kurdish OIL profits are currently bypassing Baghdad, which is a pretty forcing move by the KRG. I've been saying for a while now that Baghdad is going to have to start playing nice, and with Maliki out of the throne and a more cooperative Abadi at the helm... it's looking more and more like Iraq is going to become significantly more unified, and we have front row seats. The next obvious step after the budget is the HCL, and of course - no question in my mind AT ALL - once the HCL is done, we WILL see the dinar going UP! The bottom line right now is this - We're seeing a lot of major changes in Iraq. Abadi has a lot of work to do to clean up all of Maliki's mess, but when the Iraqi Parliament acts faster than expected... things are heating up, and in a GOOD way!

[ If and after this HCL passes and there is no RV, THEN where are we?] Here's my opinion...The most important things for Iraq, the things that NEEDED to happen before an RV, were always these: 1. Seated GOI (99% DONE, and even better - we definitely have a better GOI than ever before!) 2. Chapter 7 released (DONE.) 3. HCL (SO CLOSE!). 3 things...that's all I wanted. Right now we have 2 down, one to go... and that last one is perched on the edge, about to fall onto the scorecard as a WIN.
