Mod: THECBDGURUS JOIN MARK FOR THE FIRST 45 MINS AND THE NEWS AT 10:30 AM! HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE!
Member: Morning all! It’s a great day for an RV!!!!
Member: GM, everyone, praying for everyone’s safety from this hurricane. Massive damage I’ve seen. So sad.
Member: Prayers for those in Tn and SC that got hit by hurricane and then the 2 dams that broke
Member: What’s up Mark?
MZ: MilitiaMan joins us today as well……Catch us up on what’s happening in Iraq
Member: I think things are going to go Nuts... Starting October 1st
Member: October 3rd is Iraq’s Independence Day …Might be an excellent day for the Iraqi Dinar to revalue ?!?!
MZ: “Al Sudani advisor indicates a significant development in Iraq’s financial capabilities during 2024” Talking about what they have accomplished with cleaning up banking, more non-oil revenues. This article is a great little victory lap.
MM: Good morning everyone. Iraq has done so much work and we all know Al Sudani was just in New York again at the US assembly. He also had sideline meetings and had his speech and returned home yesterday.
MM I think he has more meetings today ….but his acheivments in 2024 hve been phenominal. Including international interconnectivity. This showcases the fact that Iraq is going international..Al Sudani also talks about $83 billion for the investment side of the budget for infrastructure….which tells me he needs the money released publically. And he needs to tell his people where the money is coming from.
MM: The world is waiting to see the budget…but Item #4782 has not been released yet in the Iraq Gazette…..there is good reason for it. I am optimistic in includes the new REER (Real Effective Exchange Rate)
MM:They already have the new technology for international interconnectivity that we have all heard about that is fast, accurate using blockchain ledger technology. Everybody needs to be on the same page at the same time on this system
MM: When this happens prepare for shocks. .
MZ: What are your thoughts on Sudani’s speech at the UN? He talked about them being fully international.
MM: I think the very last part of that speech he says Iraq is taking its rightful place in the international world. It’s interesting that he said that because a year ago this September he was showcased as being the savior of the international financial system. And again in Davos a few months ago where he had the likes of Jaimie Dimon and JPMorgan and the biggest banks in the world there.
MM: Iraq has all the assets, new technologies like the Ayuscuda system at the borders to collect those non-oil revenues and taxes. I believe there are meetings today with Al Sudani and Al Alaq and the banks. At this stage in the game you have to ask yourselves why? I’m hoping it’s to decide not to use the rate of 1310 anymore…..but something different.
MZ: So how close are we…. iyo?
MM: With Sudani back now….why couldn’t it happen at any time? To me there is no reason it could not happen at any time.
MZ: I agree. He’s done the victory tours, he has told the world they are restored and fully international. …Time to see the fruit of his labors. I wouldn’t be surprised to see my phone blowing up this weekend with the news that it has happened.
MM: I think Sudani is obliged to do this at this point.
MZ: I agree he has done all the groundwork , done all the stuff, paid all their bills….he is kinda obliged to do it.
MM: Basically the non-oil revenues will drive the private sector. Things are playing out….but there is a logic to what we are watching….Central banks have to be prepared for this….and at this point they should be.
MM: Since Sudani and Alaq are meeting today in Iraq with the banking sector I am very optimistic something good will come of this.
MM: I saw an article today “ The head of the Kurdistan party provincial council stressed on Saturday the implementation of Article 140 of the Iraqi constitution. “ This is why my phone was blowing up. This may be why Sudani and everyone are getting together today. With article 140 they need the new value of their assets. I think this is huge.
MZ: That is huge. They need to revalue the assets before the census happens.
Member: I was told as soon as article 140/HCL passes – then we go.
Member: What is article 140
Member: Constitution Article-140 lays down a clear road map to define the final boundaries of the territory to be administered by the KRG.
Member: article 140 us the HCL, hydrocarbon law, which will divide up oil revenues and give to Iraqi people.
Member: With everything happening on oct 1st….maybe Iraq kicks it off with those meetings today.
Member: new SOFR rule going into effect Oct 1st, and FDIC rule on Foreign Currency Swaps Oct 22nd?
Member: And the new US fiscal year starts on oct. 1st.
Member: Mark a buddy of mine that got me into the currencies is part of a humanitarian group. He says they will have access to a portal for exchanges. Have you heard anything about that
Mod: MM THANKS FOR JOINING US! LET'S PRAY THIS GOES
Member: I say they should Turn on EBS and let chips fall where they may!!

Was Benjamin Franklin The Original Financial Guru?
Here are 4 bits of money advice from the Founding Father
Lou Carlozo Sun, September 22, 2024 Moneywise
Staring out from the $100 bill, looking more like a wise old uncle than Founding Father, Benjamin Franklin seems an easy guy to like. And if anyone belongs on U.S. currency it's this colonial polymath who dished financial wisdom as fit for today as when he signed the Declaration of Independence at age 70.
Let’s start, though, by getting this myth out of the way: Franklin never exactly said, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” The line he wrote in his 1737 edition of “Poor Richard's Almanack” was this: “A penny saved is two pence clear.”
Regardless, a penny saved in 1737 would be worth 79 cents today, per the Official Data Foundation. And by offering sound advice like the above, it’s no stretch to call Franklin one of America’s original financial gurus.
Was Benjamin Franklin The Original Financial Guru?
Here are 4 bits of money advice from the Founding Father
Lou Carlozo Sun, September 22, 2024 Moneywise
Staring out from the $100 bill, looking more like a wise old uncle than Founding Father, Benjamin Franklin seems an easy guy to like. And if anyone belongs on U.S. currency it's this colonial polymath who dished financial wisdom as fit for today as when he signed the Declaration of Independence at age 70.
Let’s start, though, by getting this myth out of the way: Franklin never exactly said, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” The line he wrote in his 1737 edition of “Poor Richard's Almanack” was this: “A penny saved is two pence clear.”
Regardless, a penny saved in 1737 would be worth 79 cents today, per the Official Data Foundation. And by offering sound advice like the above, it’s no stretch to call Franklin one of America’s original financial gurus.
Among the many things he said about personal finance, these four are drawn from “The Way to Wealth,” a collection of adages and advice published in 1758 that were imparted in previous “Almanack” writings.
No pain, no gain
“There are no gains without pains,” he wrote.
And you thought some buff weightlifter made this up. Franklin was vocal about the dangers of sloth (including excess sleep) and urged people to pursue wealth through industriousness. He cites a gripe as common then as now among people who struggle with money: high taxes. But wishing for outside factors to change, he argued, is never as effective as taking charge through diligence.
“He that lives upon hope will die fasting,” Franklin wrote, while the industrious “shall never starve … at the working man's house hunger looks in, but dares not enter.”
Consider Franklin’s counsel as an invitation to find and maintain income streams beyond your day job. Maybe start a side hustle out of your home and grow it from there.
Be frugal
“We must add frugality, if we would make our industry more certainly successful,” Franklin wrote. "You may think , perhaps, that a little tea or a little punch now and then, diet a little more costly, clothes a little finer, and a little entertainment now and then, can be no great matter, but remember, many a little makes a mickle. Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship."
The most recent figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show that, in 2022, Americans spent 10.9% more on apparel and services, including 18.8% more on footwear, than the previous year.
While that’s not the same as splurging on a sea cruise, ask yourself whether slowly filling your closet points to a spending problem — that proverbial capsizing ship. Or, as Franklin lamented, “When you have bought one fine thing, you must buy 10 more.”

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
HAS ECB CRACKED THE CODE FOR DIGITAL EURO CBDC ADOPTION?
Two economists at the European Central Bank have modelled how to get consumers to adopt a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and the digital euro in particular.
They distinguish between adoption and usage.While consumers may decide to include a new payment method, they won’t necessarily use it that often.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
HAS ECB CRACKED THE CODE FOR DIGITAL EURO CBDC ADOPTION?
Two economists at the European Central Bank have modelled how to get consumers to adopt a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and the digital euro in particular.
They distinguish between adoption and usage.While consumers may decide to include a new payment method, they won’t necessarily use it that often.
To create their model, the economists used the 2022 ECB Study on Payment Attitudes of Consumers in the EU (SPACE). Given it was post COVID, it showed changes in payment behaviors such as anincrease in usage of mobile payments for person-to-person paymentswhich rose from 3% in 2019 to 10% in 2022.
Unsurprisingly, they foundconsumers prefer to stick to familiar methods, such as cards and cash.Switching incurs a significant adoption cost, in terms of money, time and effort.
Three steps to make adoption worthwhile
One avenueto make the switching costs worthwhile is to design the CBDC to combine the relative advantages of both cards (usability) and cash (controlling usage and privacy). The model showed this could increase adoption by 80% and usage by 140%.
A second strategyis to communicate these benefits effectively. While this had some benefit, the impact was smaller compared to the design choices.
Thirdly, the economists highlight the importance of surfing network effects. We believe this implies there could be different strategies for different jurisdictions. In some regions P2P payments might be more popular, so this could be the area to push. In other jurisdictions there may be more potential for Point of Sale payments (PoS). For example, the SPACE survey showed usage of mobile payments at PoS at 10% in the Netherlands versus 1% in Slovenia.
They argue that regions more eager to adopt new payment technologies will be more open to CBDC. That makes sense. However, we see a counterargument that if users adopt new payment technologies they could perceive less need for a CBDC.
The economists also highlight the role of legislation in ensuring distribution, such as obliging banks, and requiring merchants to accept the digital euro at PoS.
Other digital euro reports
Meanwhile, in other digital euro news,during August an NEBR paper explored the impact of a potential digital euro on banks, European payment providers and US payment providers.
It found upbeat press mentions of a digital euro coincided with positive stock price movements for European payment firms and negative ones for American firms. There was no impact on banks.
Another report was published by the Veblen Institute and Positive Money, two organizations that are critical of banks. They highlight that there’s an option for the ECB and national central banks to sidestep private payment providers and go direct to consumers.
We confirm that legally the central banks and governments are also ‘payment service providers’ (PSPs), and it is PSPs that will provide wallet services for the digital euro, per draft legislation.
The IMF recently published a report on CBDCs exploring how to encourage adoption by consumers and merchants.

COULD ROBINHOOD AND REVOLUT FIND STABLECOIN SUCCESS WHERE PAYPAL STUMBLED?
If Robinhood and Revolut do make a run at launching a stablecoin, as reported, can they each avoid the same fate as PayPal's PYUSD?
Fintech heavyweights Robinhood,a U.S. investing app,and Revolut,a crypto-friendly neobank based in London,are considering launching their own stablecoins, unnamed sources told Bloomberg this week.
The giants are eyeing the stablecoin market at a time when Tether (USDT), with its $119 billion market capitalization, accounts for roughly 68% of the $173.5 billion category.
With Europe offering clearer regulatory frameworks, the fintech giants could bring a new wave of competition. However, the question remains: Can they break through Tether's dominance, or will they struggle like other giants before them?
Although neither company has officially confirmed their plans,both companies are considering stablecoin issuance, according to a report on September 26.
Fred Schebesta, founder of Finder.com,sees the potential for Robinhood and Revolut but acknowledged the challenge.
“Revolut and Robinhood definitely have a shot at making a dent in USDT’s dominance, but it's going to take a lot of integration to get there,” he said. “USDT has a deep-rooted presence in the market, and people, for some reason, still place an unusual amount of trust in it.”
He saidPayPal's stablecoin demonstrates that “even big players aren’t gaining much traction yet,” but added thatRobinhood and Revolut have a chance to try a different approach.
“Their platforms are more integrated with retail investors,” Schebesta said, “and if they can leverage those ecosystems properly, they might find an edge that PayPal hasn't tapped into yet.”
Pav Hundal, a market analyst at Australian crypto exchange Swyftx,agrees that scale will be crucial.
“Stablecoins are a game of scale, or relative scale if you have a niche offering,” he told Decrypt. “Robinhood and Revolut possess scale in abundance and clearly have some level of conviction that they can leverage their huge global networks to take a slice of Tether’s market.”
The two companies also have one major advantage,he added:Both companies are already regulated in many jurisdictions around the world. “But for now, Tether exists on an entirely different plane of existence to its competitor,”Hundal said.
PayPal isn’t alone in its struggles with PYUSD.Even giants like JPMorgan Chase, Meta (Facebook), and Binance have attempted to conquer the stablecoin world—each meeting their own unique challenges and limitations.
JPM Coinfound its place within internal banking but failed to penetrate wider retail or DeFi markets.Meta’s Diem, once heralded as the “future of money,” crumbled under regulatory pressures, never seeing the light of day.
Binance's BUSDhas grown, but even it remains a distant competitor to Tether, unable to topple the giant.
Tether’s entrenched positionas the crypto exchanges’ primary trading pair sets a high bar for liquidity that new entrants must match.The stablecoin market's deep liquidity pools, network effects, and established trust create high barriers for new entrants.

XRP LEDGER IMPLEMENTS TWO MAJOR UPDATES TO BOOST ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONALITY
▪️XRP Ledger announces two updates that enhance its functionality. ▪️Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD may benefit from these new updates. ▪️Continued blockchain advancements support Ripple's ecosystem growth.
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has announced two significant updates following a recent modification.
These developments have attracted attention, particularly due to rising expectations surrounding the potential launch of Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD. Consequently, there is curiosity about how these updates will impact the stablecoin’s functionality and the overall ecosystem.
XRP Ledger Executes Two Major Updates
According to an XRPScan report, the XRP Ledger implemented two important updates named“fixEmptyDID” and “fixPreviousTxnID”last Friday. Both updates received support from 31 validators, surpassing the 28/35 threshold.
The first updateaims to prevent the creation of empty DID ledger entries that previously occupied unnecessary space. With this change, any transaction attempting to create such entries will result in an error.This endeavor is expected to enhance ledger efficiency without interfering with existing processes.
Will Ripple’s Stablecoin RLUSD Be Affected?
Ripple $0.620272 has begun beta testing its stablecoin on both the XRPL and Ethereum $2,675 networks. Recently, Ripple released two batches of the RLUSD stablecoin, each containing 485 RLUSD. These developments have intensified speculation regarding how the recent updates on XRPL will influence the operation of the stablecoin.
Ripple President Monica Long confirmed that RLUSD would be launched this year if it receives U.S. approval.
Long expressedexpectations thatthe stablecoin would serve broader areas compared to Ripple’s native cryptocurrency, XRP.She also noted thatdecentralized exchanges (DEX) on the XRPL could benefit from the stablecoin’s efficiency, while XRP would be utilized for smaller cryptocurrency transactions.
These statements suggest that the recent XRPL updates could empower both RLUSD and the XRP ecosystem, offering more functionality and flexibility across multiple applications.
In a period marked by continuous advancements in blockchain technology, such technical updates within the XRP Ledger may contribute to strengthening the Ripple ecosystem and enhancing investor confidence.

Judy Note: In Dallas, major financial executives were caught attempting to flee the country through covert channels. But here’s the kicker:their escape routes have been entirely compromised by the Quantum Financial System (QFS).Their money is frozen, their assets confiscated, and their backdoor channels blocked. It’s checkmate, and they have nowhere to run.
They also intended to overcome the Global Currency Reset through their own Great Reset of non-asset-backed digital currency or gold-backed currency that they alone controlled. The Cabal’s HSBC claimed they’ve successfully applied “quantum technology” to buy and sell tokenized physical gold, turning it into ERC-20 tokens, making it fungible. However, they owned the gold, not you.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Possible Timing: Tues. 1 Oct. 2024 (RUMORS/OPINIONS)
On Tues. 1 Oct. 2024 US Inc. Corp. dissolves, ending the fiat monetary system. The privately owned US Inc. Government, Federal Reserve and IRS will shut down. US Inc. fiscal year ends. It’s been bankrupt since 2008 and without Congressional budget approvals – running on fumes with a fiat US Dollar.
On Tues. 1 Oct. 2024 All banks worldwide not Basel III Compliant (have gold backing to their monies) will be closed. The Basel III regulations could alter the real estate market in unprecedented ways.
On Tues. 1 Oct. 2024 the Quantum Financial System Global Currency Reset goes into effect with 134 Sovereign nation gold/asset-backed currencies trading at a 1:1 with each other. The QFS completely replaces the outdated and corrupt central banking model. Forget about inflation, interest rates or manipulated stock markets—the QFS will make all of that obsolete. The endless printing of fiat money by corruptt central banks will be a thing of the past.
On Tues. 1 Oct. 2024 NESARA GESARA begins as countries worldwide activate the gold/asset-backed Quantum Financial System and Global Currency Reset. The BRICS nations will head the greatest wealth transfer in history. 134 nations are ditching the fiat US dollar and moving to gold-backed currencies. Each of these currencies will trade at a 1:1 ratio.
On Tues. 1 Oct. 2024 LIBOR is slated to be replaced by SOFR, marking a significant change in financial benchmarks.
On Tues. 1 Oct. 2024 the new United States of America Republic will start its new fiscal year under a gold-backed US Note as part of the Global Currency Reset.
The QFS isn’t just a financial system. It’s part of a broader plan to take full control of global communication, energy grids, and data. The military, working with top-secret intelligence agencies, has developed this system to prevent any future manipulation by global elites.
On Tues. 1 Oct. 2024 45,000 ILA workers at major ports will go on strike as unions push for a 77% wage increase. Half of US goods go through those ports. For each day of the strike, it will take one week to recover, severely disrupting the supply chain. Stock up on goods.

Frank26 You can see the excitement of what's going on is no longer a secret and it's being advertised and published and talked about and bragged about all over the world from New York, the United States Treasury, all the way back to Iraq. The whole Middle East is on pins and needles. They all know. They're excited and they know it's going to affect them as well too...
Jeff Iraq can only change the rate at one or two points in the year, beginning or the middle of the year. That was stated by Shabibi. If Iraq was going to revalue at any of those times you would see them increase their steps and actions preparing to revalue. In this month of September those steps has occurred. They have increased their actions getting critical steps...laws done. They have tremendously ramped up.
BRICS Currency: 40% Could Be Tied to Gold, 60% in Local Currencies!
We Love Africa: 9-27-2024
Will Brics’ gold-backed currency dethrone the dollar and throw the West into financial chaos? This is what happens when 40% of a currency is backed by gold and 60% by local currencies come face to face with dollars backed by nothing.
It can send the US dollar crashing overnight.
So, is this the beginning of the end for the dollar; are we witnessing its downfall in real-time?
Could the US economy survive if Brics nations stop using the dollar or are we on the brink of collapse? Let’s find out.

Sovereign Debt Collapse to Flip Global Monetary System
Sean Foo and Andy Schectman: 8-27-2024
As the US debt plateaus at over $31 trillion, a significant concern looms for economists, policy makers, and citizens alike: the possibility of sovereign default.
The consequences of such an event extend beyond mere finances; it signals a seismic shift in the global economic order, potentially leading to a reset of monetary systems and a renewed recognition of gold’s value as a cornerstone of wealth preservation.

As the US debt plateaus at over $31 trillion, a significant concern looms for economists, policy makers, and citizens alike: the possibility of sovereign default.
The consequences of such an event extend beyond mere finances; it signals a seismic shift in the global economic order, potentially leading to a reset of monetary systems and a renewed recognition of gold’s value as a cornerstone of wealth preservation.
This exploration examines the factors contributing to the current financial landscape, the looming threat of default, and how international tensions shape our economic reality.
Every day, the US government grows tighter with its fiscal policies, choosing to borrow extensively to finance its obligations. The debt has soared due to persistent budget deficits, which often result from a mix of extravagant spending and declining revenues.
As interest rates rise, so do the costs associated with servicing this gargantuan debt. The Debt-to-GDP ratio continues to climb, causing concern among analysts that a tipping point will soon be reached—one where the US will spend more on debt servicing than it does on crucial domestic programs.
In the face of potential economic turmoil, many investors are revisiting gold as a fundamental asset. Historically, gold has maintained its value even in times of crisis, often serving as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. Should a sovereign default occur, it’s likely we would see a rush to gold, as investors seek to protect their wealth when traditional currencies falter.
Moreover, gold’s growing appeal can be linked to the increasing uncertainty surrounding fiat currencies, especially the US dollar. The more volatile and unpredictable the monetary policy, the more individuals and countries may turn to gold as a reliable store of value.
While the internal economic factors pose significant challenges, the landscape of international relations exacerbates the situation. The economic war between the US, China, and Russia is intensifying, with sanctions, trade conflicts, and technological rivalry shaping a new multipolar world order.
Superpowers are increasingly weaponizing economic dependencies, with China promoting the Yuan in international trade and Russia expediting efforts to bypass the US dollar. This tension heightens the potential for conflict and instability, which could ultimately bring about an economic environment ripe for crisis.
As the dynamics of international economics shift, the US’s precarious financial situation becomes even more alarming. The interplay of escalating debt, potential default, and the increasing value of gold amidst geopolitical strife creates a perfect storm that could steer us toward a financial cliff.
The confluence of skyrocketing US debt, the specter of sovereign default, and escalating geopolitical tensions creates a maelstrom of uncertainty in our economic landscape. While we can only speculate on the exact timeline and nature of these impending crises, one truth remains clear: the decisions we make today will shape the financial reality of tomorrow.
Understanding these risks and strategically positioning oneself for the potential economic reset could be the key to navigating what lies ahead. Prepare, adapt, and maintain vigilance—because the storm is approaching, and its arrival could redefine the world as we know it.

You all should be jumping around your home & office at this news. You were just told by the CBI that they only have 5% left to do and you will be able to cash in your currency. Do you know how long people have been waiting for this news?
Can you imagine that on that day it will be your last time being broke? And you will have the opportunity to start the year off with a bang.
This comprehensive banking reform is not just about operational changes but represents a broader vision for Iraq’s economic renaissance. By integrating with the global financial network more seamlessly, Iraq is setting the stage for a future where its economy is not only resilient but also a key player in regional financial dynamics.

I told you all for years now Everything starts with Iraq. And when they begin Everything else before it will end. This is why we are seeing a sped up timeline where everything is getting exposed at once. You are about to come out of “The Great Pause” that you have been under for the past four years.
Donald Trump told you in his last speech that everything will happen fast. How? Because we couldn’t do anything until Iraq was ready. Now you are going to see countries across the world speed up their operations to remove all the corruption in their government and other areas.
Remember what Al-Sudani stated. Their new systems is anti money laundering. Now do you remember what I told you all about ISO-20022? Guess what that is? An anti money laundering system that banks are implementing across the planet. This will choke out all the dark money that funds all the false flags we have been subjected to.
This is why they always wanted to ensure that the Middle East always remained unstable so theu can continue to force the fiat USD on 3rd world countries because debts & human tra££icking. Once the reinstatement occurs you will see a lot of corruption come to a sudden halt.
There is more I can say but you get the point.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
GENSLER SUGGESTS BNY MELLON’S CRYPTO CUSTODY MODEL COULD EXPAND BEYOND BITCOIN AND ETHER ETFS
BNY Mellon explores extending regulated crypto custody beyond ETFs.
▪️Gensler suggests BNY Mellon's crypto custody model could apply to various digital assets. ▪️The crypto custody market is growing rapidly, with banks poised to benefit from secure, regulated services.
In comments to Bloomberg today,SEC Chair Gary Gensler discussed BNY Mellon’s crypto custody structure. He suggested that the model used for Bitcoin and Ether ETFs could be applied to other digital assets.
While the current approval applies only to Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, Gensler noted that the custody structure is not limited to specific crypto assets.
“Though the actual consultation related to two crypto assets, the structure itself was not dependent on what the crypto was, it didn’t matter what the crypto was.”said Gensler.
BNY Mellon now has the flexibility to extend its custody services to other digital assets if it chooses. Gensler emphasized that the “non-objection” is based on the structure itself, not the type of crypto asset,allowing other banks to adopt the same model for crypto custody.
The approval hinges on BNY’s use of individual crypto wallets, ensuring that customer assets are protected and segregated from the bank’s own assets in the event of insolvency. This wallet structure was developed in consultation with the SEC’s Office of Chief Accountant, leading to the agency’s “non-objection” decision.
This approval guarantees that the bank’s approach complies with regulatory requirements, preventing customer assets from being at risk during bankruptcy, a key issue that has plagued crypto platforms like Celsius, FTX, and Voyager.
The crypto custody market, estimated to be worth $300 million and growing by 30% annually, represents a lucrative opportunity for financial institutions.
With non-bank providers typically charging much higher fees for digital asset custody compared to traditional assets, banks like BNY Mellon are well-positioned to capitalize on this growing demand by offering more secure and regulated solutions.

The Economic Ninja
(9/26/2024)
🚀Silver surged to a 12-year high in 2022, gaining 37% since January 2023, driven by expectations of Fed rate cuts and increased demand in renewable energy, electronics, and electric vehicles.
💡The global renewable energy market is projected to grow from $1.14 trillion in 2023 to $5.62 trillion by 2025, with a 17.3% annual growth rate, boosting silver's industrial applications.
🔬Silver has more patents tied to it than any other metal, used in everyday items like water filters, cell phones, and solar panels, with companies indifferent to price fluctuations due to the small amounts needed in production.
📈The Federal Reserve's pivot towards easier monetary policy, potential future rate cuts, and China's economic boost efforts have supported silver's price gains.
💼Silver is considered a tangible, real investment that can be vaulted, contrasting with the stock market's perceived "vaporware" nature, with recommendations to invest in the cheapest possible silver coins.

Suze Orman’s Top 25 Tips That Will Save You From Financial Disaster
Gabrielle Olya Thu, September 26, 2024 GOBankingRates
Suze Orman was working as a waitress and making $400 a month at 29 years old. She then decided to take a chance on a major career change and landed a job as a broker for Merrill Lynch.
Having been on both ends of the financial spectrum, Orman knows what it takes to make the leap from broke to wealthy, and is now one of the most respected voices in personal finance — as well as a New York Times bestselling author with more than 25 million books in circulation.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, she is worth some $75 million, indicating that she’s followed her own financial advice for saving, investing and preparing for retirement.
Suze Orman’s Top 25 Tips That Will Save You From Financial Disaster
Gabrielle Olya Thu, September 26, 2024 GOBankingRates
Suze Orman was working as a waitress and making $400 a month at 29 years old. She then decided to take a chance on a major career change and landed a job as a broker for Merrill Lynch.
Having been on both ends of the financial spectrum, Orman knows what it takes to make the leap from broke to wealthy, and is now one of the most respected voices in personal finance — as well as a New York Times bestselling author with more than 25 million books in circulation.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, she is worth some $75 million, indicating that she’s followed her own financial advice for saving, investing and preparing for retirement.
As any self-made millionaire will tell you, going from rags to riches takes hard work. It also calls for tons of tried-and-true personal finance strategies to maintain and build financial success. Here are 25 tips from Orman to steer clear of financial disaster.
Live Within Your Needs but Below Your Means
Living within your needs but below your means is the golden rule of the Suze Orman budget. Although food and shelter are needs, you might be spending too much on these essentials.
“How much you choose to spend on your basic needs is a squishy number dependent on the choices you make,” Orman wrote in a blog post. “For example, a mortgage lender may tell you that you will qualify for a $250,000 mortgage. But if you can find a great home that meets your family’s needs, and it costs $195,000 you will save a lot of money that can be used for other important goals. The $195,000 home fits your needs.”
Don’t Lease a Car — Buy Instead
“Leasing is a horrible financial move,” Orman wrote in a blog post. “It is the auto industry’s way to get you to buy a car you can’t really afford. (…) The big problem is that when you lease there’s the temptation to keep leasing forever.
“So every three years — the standard lease length — you turn in your car and lease another. That means you are signing on for never-ending monthly car payments.”
Orman explained that buying is better because once you pay off your loan, you have that extra monthly payment to build your emergency fund, contribute to a retirement account, save for a home down payment or meet another financial goal.
Stop Paying Extra for Minor Conveniences
The difference in the cost of paying for food delivery instead of cooking or hopping in an Uber instead of taking the bus might seem small, but the expense of always taking the convenient option will add up over time.
“It adds up big time,” Orman told CNBC. “Stop leasing cars, stop eating out, stop doing the (thing) that’s wasting your money and makes your life easier, because in the long run it’s going to make it harder.”
Cut Out Your Coffee Habit
“I wouldn’t buy a cup of coffee anywhere, ever — and I can afford it — because I would not insult myself by wasting money that way,” Orman told CNBC.
She believes that $3 spent daily on coffee is better off going into a retirement fund or used to meet other savings goals.
For example, if you spend $100 a month on coffee and put that money into an IRA instead, that would grow to about $1 million after 40 years given a 12% rate of return.
“You need to think about it as: You are peeing $1 million down the drain as you are drinking that coffee,” Orman said. “Do you really want to do that? No.”
Pay With Debit Instead of Credit Whenever Possible
“There is no more expensive form of bondage than spending more than you have and paying interest of 15% or more on your credit card,” Orman wrote in a blog post.
She recommends paying for everything with a prepaid debit card or a debit card that is tied to a checking account that does not have overdraft coverage.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani participated in New York, after midnight on Wednesday, in a dialogue session held by the American Chamber of Commerce and Al-Monitor, in the presence of an elite group of investors, businessmen, representatives of American companies, and the Iraqi-American Business Council.
During the session, Al-Sudani pointed to the new reality of Iraq, which is witnessing an economic and developmental renaissance in all its sectors. It has also taken great steps in the field of energy investment and associated gas, which had been wasted for years and cost the country losses estimated at billions of dollars, due to the import of gas and petroleum derivatives.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani participated in New York, after midnight on Wednesday, in a dialogue session held by the American Chamber of Commerce and Al-Monitor, in the presence of an elite group of investors, businessmen, representatives of American companies, and the Iraqi-American Business Council.
During the session, Al-Sudani pointed to the new reality of Iraq, which is witnessing an economic and developmental renaissance in all its sectors. It has also taken great steps in the field of energy investment and associated gas, which had been wasted for years and cost the country losses estimated at billions of dollars, due to the import of gas and petroleum derivatives.
Al-Sudani stressed that the government has embarked on a series of rapid projects, including the important agreement with Total, which will contribute to increasing oil production and investment in associated gas by about (600) million standard cubic feet, in addition to offering the fifth and sixth rounds’ annexes, and entering into contracts to produce oil and invest in gas
Indicating that after 2028, Iraq will achieve self-sufficiency in gas, in addition to activating oil derivatives projects, including the strategic Karbala refinery, whose production capacity reaches 140 thousand barrels per day, as well as rehabilitating the Baiji refinery, which was completely destroyed during the battles to liberate Baiji, and its production capacity is 150 thousand barrels per day.
The following are the highlights of the Prime Minister's speech during the dialogue session:
When I assumed my duties as Prime Minister, the investment in associated gas was less than 40 percent, and now the percentage has risen to about 70 percent.
We have ended the import of petroleum derivatives, and we will stop importing gasoline at the beginning of next year, after completing the FCC project in Basra.
We are ready to enter into a partnership with American companies in the oil industry sector.
Our vision is to convert 40% of exported oil into transformation industries, which will give us more benefits than selling crude oil.
Our policy is based on diversifying the contracting parties that invest in our oil and gas fields without specific conditions.
The licensing round procedures are clear and transparent, and there is no favoritism or preference for one company over another.
Development cannot be achieved without a solid banking sector that operates according to approved international standards, and 95% of financial transfers in Iraqi trade are conducted through reliable banks.
The currency selling window will be closed at the end of this year, and the money laundering office at the Central Bank is operating effectively.The government contracted with Ernst & Young to reform the government banking sector, and we strengthened citizens’ confidence in banks and expanded financial inclusion.
Iraq is going through an unprecedented period of stability and recovery since 2003, which is an opportunity to support the transition from a period of wars and conflicts to a period of development and stability.
A stable Iraq in a sensitive region is beneficial to the world, which is what we have witnessed since October 7, as Iraq has largely maintained balance and calm, and we have kept Iraq away from the arena of conflict.
Our security forces have reached an advanced stage of capability and efficiency, and we have begun an armament program to enhance their capabilities, and ISIS today does not pose a threat to our security.
We need American small and medium-sized companies to partner with Iraqi companies.
We work to create job opportunities for young people by activating the private sector or supporting their private projects, through several programs, including the (Riyada) initiative.
The size of the projects granted for investment will provide a large number of jobs, and it is necessary for companies operating in Iraq to open training centers to develop the capabilities of young people.
We have confirmed to the companies operating in the electricity sector the establishment of stations maintenance centers in order to speed up completion and reduce costs.
The government has a clear direction to support the agricultural sector, and farmers and growers are in a transitional phase to use modern irrigation technologies, which we supported by 30%.
We provided loans to workers in the food industries sector of various types, part of which is covered by sovereign guarantees.
The Central Bank has independence and exercises its powers with complete professionalism, and we intend to establish a new bank that adopts the latest technologies.
We invite all companies working in the field of electronic payment to work in Iraq and we will provide them with all facilities.
We have developed a plan to develop the infrastructure, with allocations amounting to $83 billion. LINK

Al-Sudani stressed that the government has made great strides in the financial and banking reform file, and 95%of bank transfers have been completed through the electronic platform, and less than 5% remains to be completedby the end of this year, after which the transition to the correspondent banking system will take place, in accordance with the government’s approach and its commitment to raising the capabilities of Iraqi banks, in line with international standards and meeting the needs of the thriving investment environment in Iraq.
For his part, Adeyemo praised the progress witnessed by Iraq in the field of economic and banking reforms that were achieved in record time, and the state of economic growth that reached a total of about 6%, which enhances the government's efforts in development, expressing readiness to cooperate and work within a bilateral partnership that serves the interests of economic development.
