Going Global Headline News and Events for June 19th thru July 4th ...

Coming down the home stretch ...

The world's new "global economy" is about to reveal itself. As mentioned before, this is not just about Iraq, But .. Iraq holds the key and Iraq is the lynchpin. So far, it appears that Iraq will revalue their currency first. Countries holding large amounts of Iraqi Dinar will follow suit, but only after benefiting greatly from the revaluation. They will have time to put their "accounting" affairs in order before a total rebalancing of most economies takes place. It seems like it has taken forever ..
What it takes to rebalance the global economy ... and yesterday and today's articles The World Needs a Second Reserve Currency and Revaluation is a “win-win” scenario for the global economy ...

So, what are we waiting for:

We need Iraq to finish forming the government.
