I think for the benefit of newbies to this board it is safe to say that nobody has been right or wrong on the Dinar yet. Simply put there are 3 chains of thought on the Dinar.
1. LOP - which you have been saying for at least 3 or 4 years now. Hasn't happened but I acknowledge it is possible.
2. RV - Same as one above - hasn't happened but I guess anything is possible. I'm not personally a believer.
3. Slow Grow - that is what has transpired with my Dinar over the last five years. Again, I aknowledge that could also change.

Iraq passes key investment law
Mon Nov 23, 2009 9:29am EST
By Waleed Ibrahim and Jason Benham
BAGHDAD/DUBAI (Reuters) - Iraq's parliament passed an investment law on Monday that would allow foreigners to own land for housing projects, and is designed to streamline regulations and applications for foreign investment, lawmakers said.
Iraq hoped for a tide of foreign investment as the sectarian bloodshed triggered by the 2003 U.S. invasion subsided in the last two years, but bureaucracy, red tape and outdated land ownership laws have deterred investors.
"This is a huge achievement for everybody, the parliament, the cabinet and the Iraqi people. This will remove many obstacles blocking the investment process in Iraq," National Investment Commission Chairman Sami al-Araji told Reuters.
The investment law does not cover the oil sector, nor hotel construction, but housing is a potentially huge growth industry.
Iraq's old real estate laws only allowed the lease of land to foreign investors for a limited time.
Shi'ite-majority Iraq hopes to build millions of new housing units, including some near Shi'ite Islam's holiest sites. The millions of pilgrims who visit each year are likely to show a strong interest, especially as hotel accommodation is limited.
GULF DEVELOPERS EYE IRAQ
The law is likely to be welcomed by developers. Iraqi officials say Gulf construction and real estate firms have shown increasing interest in the country.
"From the legal side, this is a step in the right direction. We believe that Iraq holds value in real estate investment for developers in the Gulf," said Markus Giebel, chief executive at Dubai developer Deyaar.
Iraq has the world's third-largest oil reserves, and with a clutch of oil deals pending, hopes to leapfrog to third place from eleventh among the world's oil producers.
Iraqi leaders say oil revenues will be plowed into infrastructure battered by years of war and sanctions, potentially creating more opportunities for developers.
"This is ... an interesting move and it may be timely because globally, real estate markets appeared to have bottomed. Iraq is a fully fledged economy and while there are risks there, there are also good opportunities," said Saud Masud, head of research and senior real estate analyst, Midde East and north Africa at UBS in Dubai.
The new law, which must now be approved by Iraq's presidential council, also aims to speed up the process of applying for investment licenses and to clarify federal and provincial powers when dealing with investors.

New trading symbol is CIGX - kind of rare to see big boards change their symbols:
Star Scientific Transitions to New NASDAQ Trading Symbol
PETERSBURG, Va., Nov. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Star Scientific, Inc. has announced that effective at the market opening on Monday, November 23, the NASDAQ trading symbol used by the company, STSI, is being changed to CIGX. Paul L. Perito, Star's Chairman, commented that "the change in trading symbol reflects our intent to signal more prominently the company's core mission and business, which is to reduce the harm associated with tobacco use. We have stated since the beginning that the most dangerous way to use tobacco is to inhale cigarette smoke into the human lungs, and that the best choice always will be to stop smoking."

Star Scientific's subsidiary, Star Tobacco, manufactures and sells two brands of dissolvable smokeless tobacco that are made with very low-TSNA tobacco - Ariva® and Stonewall®. These products were developed in 2001 and 2003 to offer adult dependant smokers (and users of traditional smokeless products) an alternative to cigarettes and other tobacco products. As the company recently reported, Star also is on track to submit an application in early 2010 to the FDA for approval to market Ariva® BDL and Stonewall® BDL dissolvable smokeless tobacco. The company hopes that these products will be the first to be approved by the FDA for sale as "modified risk" tobacco products.
In June 2007, Star Scientific formed its Rock Creek Pharmaceutical subsidiary in order to develop a range of botanical-based pharmaceutical products that are designed to treat tobacco dependence and a range of neurological conditions, as well as nutraceuticals. As the company has indicated in recent press releases, Rock Creek has developed a nutraceutical product, CigRx(TM) that is intended to help adults who have stopped using tobacco to maintain a nicotine-free metabolism. Pre-market testing and analysis is ongoing, and the company anticipates that CigRx(TM) will begin in test marketing in 2010.

Star Scientific, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries ( collectively, the "Company") has tried, whenever possible, to identify these forward-looking statements using words such as "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "expects", "plans", "intends" and similar expressions.
