Rommy:   In My Opinion
Dec 2018 Iraqi citizens ready for LDs and smaller notes and fils.

HotRod21:  IMO, UST is encouraging dialog and an open relationship with US Banks.  They could learn more about how they do business from “Big Bro.”  They also plan on doing business internationally with American businesses.  These banks will be providing loans to these businesses for projects, etc.  IMO

ChrisC:  I hope all of y'all are nestled all snug in your beds, While visions of sugar-plums dance in your heads, and after we've dreamed I hope we all see what's been taking so long..our precious RV.  So, let's trust in Trump and know he's planned right and a Merry Future to all and to all a good night.
