I have yet to see a criticism of this investment that makes any substantial sense accurate to this unique situation with the Iraqi Dinar.

Which is good for us. ;)

I notice that rather than just tearing into this and saying it is a very stupid high risk investment with very little chance of a decent return, many of these articles are quick to point out the risks, but then also make quick mention of the high potential results.

They are either trying to educate us and make us REALLY think about what we are doing, or seriously just trying to hold the market to themselves :drunk:

They don't like it when other people get wealthy without them.

So far, I haven't seen anything from people such as Jim Rogers (except an email) or other Rogue Traders, but I have seen criticism from popluar investment advice columnists such as Bruce Williams and Clark Howard.

I have seen criticism in the WSJ, the article in USA Today that someone posted here yesterday from the TECH section, the currency head at HSBC, and from an authoritative economist and currency trader at a well-known university.

So far the one that impressed me the most were the quotes in the USA Today.

I'm sure that we'll be hearing from Baron's, Forbes, etc.

Hey, I've got a guy I heard about building some new kind of computer or something in his garage. Ask all of those seasoned investment types if they will recommend this investment to their clients. This guy is a real geek. But I believe in him. Think his name is Gates or something like that. :lmao:

They have all contained several significant key inaccuracies that severely undermine the points they attempted to apply to this situation, IMO.
