How many people have you told about the Dinar?

[Jared]

So how many people have you gotten on board the Dinar wagon?

I'm at 22. Many still think we are all nuts, but who am I to argue with them :drunk: .

The biggest hook as been emailing them links to explore it before they dive in. Many have came in here and are snooping around, I'd say about 75% of those I have talked to about it have gone after it.

Can't imaging how many Amer and Ghaith have done. Since we've hit over 500 members, just kind of curious how big we actually are.

Jared :wave:

[Psycho for Dinar]

I have 15 people on board with 5 buying 1 million or over! Thanks Amer!!!

[Jared]

Oooo, I forgot the millions...

About 14 of them are 1M+, of those 6 are 20M+.

[IraqiFreedom]

Are you crazy. The more supply, the less the demand, and therefore a lower value for the dinar. I'm not telling anyone :shhh:

[jeffreyspears]

I feel kind of greedy for saying it, however, I side with IraqiFreedom. I have only told 2 people, my brother (who is my financial advisor since he is the smartest person I know), and he told his best friend shon (who is also his roommate-nothing weird).

I want to make the best return on this investment as possible and if the CBI prints out more dinars, our investment will not be worth as much.

[MJI Capital]

I have told quite a few people months and months ago. Way before I ever found T&B. They all looked at me like I was a degenerate gambler of some sorts. My reply was...speculation has made the savvy investor wealthy.

[minigirl]

I've told a few family members and friends - most of them thought I was INSANE! :drunk: So I've enjoyed just investing on my own, getting stupid looks from them when my packages arrive and it's just for that reason I'm hoping to laugh all the way to the bank. :lmao: I'm sure I'll share my good fortunes with my family anyway, once they say "you were right, I was wrong". LOL

Incidentally, I think the skepticism came from my brother spending too many years chasing one MLM and get rich quick scheme after another and recruiting everyone around him to the point of irritation. lol So I guess I understand why people think this is just another waste of money. So be it.

:wave:

[Iraqi Al Yahud]

for a huge slaping session!!!!!!!!

[minigirl]

for a huge slaping session!!!!!!!!

I told my boss the same (in so many words...lol)-- she proceeded to tell me about the big platform change in computer systems here and how it's going to be a couple of years of program re-writes and basically a big mess.... GO DINAR!!!! I'd love to ditch her right in the middle of it! :lmao:

(I'm usually a nice person, but she screwed up my vacation request so all bets are off...lol)

[DinarBabydoll]

:happy64: I have only told a handful of people. They looked at me with a blank stare. Jeeez.....even my husband did not know that I bought more than I had originally told him! heeheehee :D

[KennyinOC]

Okay I don't know if I am greedy or concerned of them yelling at me if this doesn't go through. I only told 2 people. :shhh: I said that if you have wasted $890 on a good weekend (I need to go out more) then you should buy 1 million dinar and put it away for a few years. I just hope we are all right about where the dinar will go because I love BBQ and would love to meet everybody here! :wave:
Until then I will keep punching in at work and taking the abuse from my boss.
:mad:

No offense, but I think you have it reversed. Its just like stocks: the more buyers you have without sellers, the higher the price goes - which in a free market, the higher prices are designed to provide an incentive for sellers. And with the price now fixed at 1460 and no sellers allowed (so to speak), the market value has to have pressure on it to increase in value. The more people buy the dinar the higher the true market value will be. Unless of course they are printing more dinars as we speak and I don't believe that to be true. That was the problem with the old Saddam dinar: hyperinflation due to a dinar printing press.

[DinarLuna]

I sent an email to close family and friends, only a hand full invested. I wanted to give them option to buy in so I won't have to support their a**es later when the Dinar hits.

Mine is quite the same. I knew who would come asking after it hits and advised them to invest. Gave the old "don't come crying to me" speach. You don't need to invest into millions, even a few 100K can make a huge change.

Jared :wave:

[CAP]

I have told nine friends and/or family to this point. Out of the nine I have told, five have purchased up to a million dinar, or plan to. None of them have gone off the deep end like I have though. When I tell them what I have purchased they usually respond by dropping the mouth to catch flies.

You can't hit a homerun if you are not willing to swing hard!!!!!!!! ;)

[the_hulk]

I've told a few of my friends but they all think I'm an idiot and just can't get over how much of a waste of money they think it is, so forget about getting them to invest. As for my parents, I told them I was buying only about 100K and they thought it was stupid. Now that I've ended up buying a bit more than that :D I figure it's probably best not to mention it at all:shhh: .

[RET]

. . .and of those 618 people, how many laughed? ;) I always feel like I might as well have said, "I'm going to sell Amway" when I tell people about the dinar!

I'm ready for the slamming from anyone that is involved with Amway (there's another name for it now- but it's the same stuff!).

No, I do not sell Amway! :drunk:

[anaz]

I've told 6 people, and the one person I thought would call me crazy actually went crazy, and now keeps bugging me about Iraqi Dinar updates (my little sis). I tried to get her to log onto this forum, but she said until she can trade in the dinars she bought, she's gotta work, so I read, and give her the info! The other people (including my parents), think I'm a crazy girl. So be it. I told them I'd pay their house off, and they replied, "Okay, honey." I, too, have lied about the actual amount of dinar to my husband. He's on board, but not like I am! He thinks it's something to keep me busy, like shopping on Saturday afternoon. If he knew the amount, he'd really go "ape**it"!

[YeOMan]

I've been careful about who I've mentioned this to. I've only told people who might appreciate the opportunity. My wife of course tells everyone and their mother, so now all of her friends think I'm a little eccentric, if not crazy. :rolleyes:

[BigRich]

My brother out of San Francisco told me and the rest of our family. I told my closest friends (which also happen to be my co-workers) We work for SBC (phone company) & started on day shifts when we met. Now I work nights w/ one of them, another works days, and the other one works evenings. They have in turn told all of their co-workers on their respective shifts, along with their families and other friends and even some acquaintances. So add on everybody who these other people have told and so on and so forth.... Then, I've probably told enough of Chicago to be expressed as a percentage of the whole. Perhaps 1% of Chicago!!! :happy64: :happy64: Everyone I've told feels the same way I do... we just don't want to leave anybody OUT!! We want to give everybody we know a choice in investing. That way we remove any guilt that might occur if it hits & we kept it to ourselves. We have MANY HATERS/DOUBTERS in the midst of whom we've told (including a couple of Iraqis) which is one of the main reasons we want this bad boy to blow up. So we can retire before the higher seniority people do and say, "Damn.... we told you not to snooze on this one."

With every month that goes by, is another million I'll stash away....

It's not how many dinars that they print, it's how many that they circulate. Fewer dinars in circulation when the market opens means that more people will be chasing fewer dinars, thus driving up the price that matters when we actually have the opportunity to cash in on our investment. That's when your more buyers / fewer sellers comes true.

In the current market, the markup on dinar sales will increase with more buyers, unless you have access to buy direct from CBI.

I was kinda joking with my initial remark anyway. Practically, I don't really believe that the total buyers in this forum will impact the price at all, unless George Soros is a member. :wave:

I bet Georgey is in on it. He's just not telling nobody b/c he doesn't want to make
an international scene about it. Then, everyone in the world would definately buy into it if they knew he was in on it. He knows what's up. He's getting his "homies" to buy it for him. Hehe.
:shhh:

[ekim]

I ve told about 20 people and I think I have made an interesting observation. The EDUMACATED people did not think it was a good idea, One of my managers at work stuck her nose in the air and told me I might as well go to Vegas, another told me to buy Kruggerands !! My parents financial advisor thoght it was a "pump and dump" scam. Most of the people I have told though are Blue-collar folks who seemed interested but so far none of them have bought any. One truck driver thouht it was a good idea but his WIFE WOULDNT LET HIM BUY ANY !!!!!!

[IraqiFreedom]

Not sure if it's an education thing, but its definitely patterned thinking.

As Pete Seeger might say,

"Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes all the same. There's a red one and a blue one and a green one and a yellow one, and their all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same."

[mechtech]

I've told about a dozen so far and a few are quietly interested.
-----------
I read that there was 6 trillion dinar printed and about 4 trillion in circulation, so it is a finite supply. Something is happening to the supply as the ebay offerings have shrunk and their are many more for single notes or outrageous prices for lower denomination notes.

I believe that the lower denoms are critical to Iraq for daily commerce as the prices from other traders for these seem to be climbing. That encourages me that the dinar is being purchaced and, looking simply at supply and demand, a mile stone seems to have been passed and that should improve the possibility of a good opening rate. :)

[highrollr19]

Most educated people are careful with their money, hence the skepicism. Also, those who you all have talked too (managers, financial advisors, etc) will most likely go for the safe bet here. They can sit back and earn 10% on their money yearly and be satisfied.

Hey all.. I spoke to a number of people about this and most were interested after my "why's" I think it's worth the investment for me. Most of those interested do not have the capital to invest in nid. However, my best friend, who is very tight with his $$, educated himself on the situation. He now has invested in 4mil nid. That suprised me because he's "Mr. Cautious" when it comes to investing. He has been keeping up with the situation closely and calls me every couple of days to confirm his optimism. We play golf regularly and plan a 3 week golf vacation in Hawaii after we exchange our dinar. The West will not let the dinar come out too low or the Iraqi's really will go to civil war. How can the west tell them how great freedom is and leave them essentially a third world country. Hell, if that's the case, they were better off financially with Saddam....see what I mean? So, I feel it will come out at $.20-$.30 and climb to $.60 within 6 months of forex debut. Just my feelings. It really is about politics and power and Europe also has a great financial incentive to help make Iraq strong out of the gate... thanks for "listening" ;)
