I like to play the stock Market, It is my Black Jack, sometime ago I got a hair in my duff that convinced me that IRAQI DINARS (money) would increase in value since sadams face was taken off, so I bought $500 (american money) worth of Dinars (Roughly 27,000 Dinars) Not a bad investment I thought, untill It was decided that the prinitng of sadam dinars in iraq would continue because no one would accept the new money.
As it stands now my 27000 Dinars is worth ABOUT $22.00
8 cents per 100 dinars
Currency is fun to play with but damn depressing.
How about the canadian dollar eh? I wish I had bout $500 worht of their money a year ago (64 cents to the US dollar) now 96 cents to the US dollar would have made a crisp 150 bucks.
@rugonnacry,
Why in the hell are you buying Dinars..? During a war? tsk tsk, Ryan.
A very old friend that owned an auto parts store told me he was interested in the stock market. His financial planner asked him what he knew about the market. He said "I know nothing". The planner asked "What
do you know?" He replied "auto parts". The planner told him to buy another store and forget playing the market. When he retired he sold off all 33 of his stores for millions. Still stays away from the market and foreign investments.
@rugonnacry,
Buying into the Dinar was a support of America, we were trying to promote a NEW IRaqi Dinar, WITHOUT sadams face on it. Thus far it has ailed miserably
@rugonnacry,
Oh... we live and learn. Sorry about the loss - you'll more than make up for in later, I am certain.
@rugonnacry,
I have a 25 Dinar note with Saddam on it :-D
collectors!

I love Dixy.
If I had one, I would frame it and put in my office. Quite a keepsake.
@rugonnacry,
heah, RU, i'll give you face value for a couple of those bills? if you pay the shipping/postage?
@rugonnacry,
Hey wait!! I want one too!
This might turn out to be a good investment after all.
@rugonnacry,
LMAO... 100 Iraqi Dinar notes is worth 8 cents the investment is shot LOL. an I dont have the dinars in hand, that is illegal (Cameron Military Crimes ahem) but I can INVEST in them. It is like investing in Microsoft, you have your shares but you cant go in to microsoft and say HEY I have 100 Shares I am taking this computer
@rugonnacry,
I have a bunch of old wrenches that should have been an investment, but the market softened considerably lately, but at least I can hold them and even use them if I want. I stay away from the stock market.
@rugonnacry,

Somehow, I thought that would sneak in...nice plug.
@rugonnacry,
