Doing a short call so you would not have to go the whole weekend without knowing what is going on, which is nothing at this point.

I will tell you bank people went in at 7 this morning and were not happy about it. They don’t know why they’re going in at 7 o’clock and nothing is going to happen. It is scheduled for 7 tomorrow and they have to be in at 7:00 AM Sunday.

Banks paid out this week and yesterday at $5.98.

Nothing today. Yesterday, they were told that was the last one, and we should start with a herd of people from here on out. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, who knows? But I got that from everyone. Supposedly, the elites have been completed and we are ready to go but we just don’t know what when it is. I can tell you that the contractors were told Tuesday they were supposed to go. Then they moved it to Thursday. And now they are telling them to be ready to go on Monday - next week should be it.

One bank did exchange people and another attempted to on Wednesday and Thursday. They tried it multiple times. They put it in, but just could not get the authorization code. Nobody tried it today. But everybody who was scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday has now been scheduled for Monday. So, multiple banks have scheduled people for Monday. The contractors have been told to be ready Monday. And the people in Iraq were told they had 7 days to exchange their currency in the seven days is up Monday. They said whoever was exchanging that it had to be done by then. I don’t know.

Now the Contractors said they exchanged at .76, but not all of them – they only let the CEOs and executives exchange. They didn’t let the rest of them. My guy in Iraq said they were exchanging but he is Govt and military. They are saying it was on TV and billboards. So, I just haven’t run across mom and pop yet or somebody who knows them because I don’t know any.

Everybody I know is a high ranking official and they are exchanging. That is just like we did here.

Here is the blockbuster I didn’t tell you. There were some exchanges taking place in Canada. Last week they said not to tell you but now I am telling you and I think it was $5 something. I got confirmation the IMF was told to be ready for Monday.

That’s the same information the contractors are getting, be ready for Monday, and it’s the same schedule the banks have. Everybody is talking about Monday. So, I don’t know if that goes live Sunday when the market opens or Monday. If it doesn’t go on Sunday, maybe they will still go. You know, I’m not big on that Monday stuff. Tuesday is good. If we don’t see it on Sunday then I don’t believe Monday, that they would be ready Monday. But Tuesday would be a better day to me.

All good news. Nothing bad. Some of you want negative stuff. The only negative thing that I see is the fact that there is so much news saying that the militia won’t put their weapons down on Sept 30th. And Trump is saying he’s going to put sanctions on them, and he’s not going to send them any currency, and he’s going to remove the PM. That is what he is threatening to do if they don’t have their weapons down by the 30th. That is my only fear. If they don’t do this by the 30th, who knows what he might do? And then here we go again, because he said he would make it worse than it was for Kuwait. That is what he is saying. We don’t know if he’s going to do it or not. He says a whole lot of bull---, I mean stuff, but it doesn’t happen. And they don’t believe he’s going to do it because there are too many people invested and there are too many countries and too many businesses. But who knows?

So, as long as we get done before the 30th , which I think we will - you have to remember their Prime Minister is supposed to be here on the 23rd, which I think we will, you have to remember their Prime Minister is supposed to be here on the 23rd and will be in New York with everybody else and him and Trump are supposed to have a meeting. I don’t know if he will drag until then, or not.
