"The proposal stipulates that the Kurdistan Region deliver 400,000 barrels of oil daily to the National Oil Marketing Company (SOMO) and coordinate with it to sell crude oil. In addition, if the oil from Kurdistan Region is not exported through Turkish ports, Erbil would deliver it to the Iraqi oil ministry, which would explore alternatives for selling oil from Kurdistan or using it internally."

In recent weeks, stock message board users have been aflutter with one post, "Confessions of a Paid Basher." The so-called confession was written by somebody who claims he/she was paid by "Springfield Global Funds" to dump on a handful of stocks including Overstock.com, OmniVision Technologies, Crown Media Holdings and Dendreon.

The idea behind my group is to bash the price of a company's stock down low enough to where the group of investors who retained our company's services can buy the stock really cheap and perhaps even take it over all together.

This poster claims he/she was paid $18 per hour, plus "$1.25 bonus for every decent quality post over 100 per day as well as a monthly bonus of $100 for every penny the stock had dropped from the previous month."

Stock bashing is illegal as it purposefully uses misinformation to manipulate the price of a stock. This harms the investors of the stock, the company, and any other stakeholder of the stock. Stock regulators monitor the markets for stock bashers and impose penalties for the act. FINRA.

Stock message boards are a bastion of crazies and idiots who try to manipulate stocks by spreading misinformation. "Bashers" are posters who are notably and consistently negative on a stock. They make ridiculous calls (e.g. "Microsoft shares will fall $6 tomorrow!") and they claim to have inside information about specific stocks

I see poor old Doggie having yet another orgasm in the header. He never did understand negotiation or Geopolitics.

Oh and remember Erdogan gets ~3-5 $billion a year in USA aid. He will do what he is told.

So dont worry Doggie its just another game and it will be sorted. Biden has told them. No deal = no aid so it will drag on a bit for face saving reasons then off we go.

Rashid minimises impact of Baghdad-Erbil disputes

In an interview with "Al-Masry Al-Youm" newspaper, Iraqi President Abdel Latif Jamal Rashid downplayed the influence of unresolved issues and disputes between Erbil and Baghdad, describing the current relationship between them as "good" and expressing his belief that these disputes can be resolved.

Rashid stated that transitioning from a dictatorial and totalitarian regime to democracy and freedom is a challenging process within any society. He emphasized that prior to 2003, Iraq suffered from the effects of dictatorship and totalitarian rule, which led to the disintegration of society and the severing of relations with the outside world.

He further stated that wars do not solve problems; they complicate them and create new issues. In this regard, he highlighted that the priority in recent years has been to eradicate terrorism.

The President clarified that terrorism and extremism are not just issues for a single country; they are problems faced by the region and the world as a whole.

Rashid explained that current efforts, after the defeat of terrorism, focus on implementing a program that includes serving citizens through infrastructure development, providing services, expanding freedoms, combating poverty, improving living standards, enhancing social security, and eliminating unemployment by promoting the private sector and encouraging investment in the country. He also mentioned the discussion and examination of an oil and gas law, which will be instrumental in resolving most existing problems.

Regarding the water crisis, President Abdel Latif Jamal Rashid affirmed that Iraq is a downstream country, as it relies on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and their tributaries. Most of these tributaries are linked to Iran, and it is essential for both Turkey and Iran to consider Iraq's water situation.

He also noted that the relationship between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government is good, and the differences are more about different perspectives rather than disputes. Most of the outstanding issues between the two sides can find solutions.

President Rashid spoke about the cultural convergence between peoples, emphasizing the strong and longstanding cultural and social ties between the Arab and Kurdish peoples. He expressed the importance of enhancing cultural exchange, noting that many Kurdish leaders and figures have had a strong Arab cultural background in terms of language, literature, and poetry.

He expressed his support for Iranian-Saudi dialogue, hoping that this rapprochement and dialogue would be the key factor in stabilizing security in the region as a whole. He also discussed the robust relations with Egypt and his meeting with President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

"So he’s just speculating… like the rest of us."

Indeed but the points he raises are very plausible.

Not only have the Turks been hit with a hefty fine which they can't pay because they don't have any foreign currency but they've also lost the discount on the oil that they've been buying and are now expected to pay the market rate which means them finding even more dollars that they haven't got, so it's only natural that they want to use the leverage that they have (water resources for example} to negotiate a better deal.

I'd probably do the same.

And as Erdogan and Al-Sudani appear to have a good relationship I'm sure a deal can be done.

Ttiao - "Positive and negatives in this article below:"

Shafaq News - "Frozen flow: how the Kurdish oil export stalemate is draining Iraq's economy."

An interesting and informative article and thanks for posting it.

These seem to be the points that Turkey wants to negotiate:-

"Al-Marsoumi called for "resolving the issue of export through the north, which is politically and technically problematic, as the Turkish side pressures Iraq on several matters. These could include a reduction of interest on the fine determined by the International Court of Commerce in Paris, which amounts to 1.5 billion dollars, and also the desire to obtain lower oil prices as the region previously provided to Turkey, or to remain at the transit price of Iraqi oil through the Ceyhan port, which was raised to two dollars per barrel after being one dollar and 12 cents." He pointed out that "Turkey is trying to exert pressure on Iraq over these issues in order to delay the flow of Kurdish oil, and the pressure might increase to possibly even use water discharges to create a kind of geopolitical pressure on Iraq."

And as the report goes on to say the Turks are contractually obliged to transport the oil and their failure to do so can only tarnish their reputation as a reliable energy partner and energy hub.

I imagine that those negotiations are going on as we speak but both sides badly need a resolution and the oil flowing again.

[theythinkitsallover] 31/5/2023 09:15

Positive and negatives in this article below:

“ He expects that "the final result will be that Turkey will eventually relent in this decision, which is to allow oil exports through the Turkish Ceyhan port because the decision of the International Court of Commerce in Paris is binding and also, the Turks are signatories to the agreements for pipeline transit through their territory. Therefore, refusing this would tarnish Turkey's reputation when it is no longer a secure passageway for the flow of energy, possibly even gas."
