Bid Bullion Releases 171,500 Ounces Of Silver "Max Keisers" In Ongoing Campaign To Destroy JPMorgan
Anyone who thought Max Keiser would tire of his plan to destroy JPMorgan using a physical crunch may be disappointed. In fact, just the opposite. The outspoken critic of every fraud financial has, with the assistance of Bid Bullion, just launched a limited edition silver bullion named Silver Keiser. The total amount of new silver to be created will be 171,250 ounces. Furthermore, beside sharing his visage with one face of the currency of the JPM resistance, "Max Keiser has nothing to do with Bid Bullion and will not benefit in any way from the sales of the Silver Keisers. Max Keiser was quoted saying - "Bid Bullion has free use of my name and image for this. I have no personal stake, or any business relationship at all with Bid Bullion in the creation and distribution of these coins." Obviously, with numerous silver retailers out of inventory, this issue will likely sell out very quickly. In tangential thoughts we wonder what comes next: the US mint issues Gold-Plated Tungsten Assanges?
Full Silver Keiser press release:
Bid Bullion releases its limited edition silver bullion to commemorate Max Keiser and his efforts in increasing the prices of silver.
Bidbullion.com, a new penny auction selling precious metals at pennies on the dollar, has released a limited edition silver bullion by the name of the Silver Keiser.
This move couldn’t have been taken at a better time. On November 11th, 2010, Max Keiser, a finance critic and former stockbroker, told the listeners of the Alex Jones show that they should start “Google Bombing” the term “Crash JP Morgan, Buy Silver” to increase the rankings of pages that aimed at exposing the obvious short in the paper silver market.
Keiser and Jones’ underground campaign was met with a worldwide success, and went viral. As a result, the value of silver increased more than 8% in value thus far and continues to rise. According to Keiser, people’s efforts should only cease when silver is finally sold for its true value, which is $500 per physical ounce.
With such a historical event unraveling before the whole world, Bid Bullion decided to release the limited edition Silver Keiser. Jeremey Hillsdon, Bid Bullion’s co?founder said, “We wanted to help capture the moment by commemorating Keiser's life's achievements thus far, by creating a piece of history.” Aside from thanking Keiser for his efforts, the Keiser Silver will help remove 171,250 ounces of physical silver from the global markets and place them in people’s reach.
Bid Bullion has created 25,000 units in 1/10, ¼, ½, 1 ounce and 5 ounce rounds. Each of these has the picture of Max Keiser engraved into its fine, flawless surface, and has the quotes "Global Insurrection Against Corporate Occupation" and also "Crash Banksters, Buy Silver". In addition, each bullion will be marked with its related weight, the dates 2010/2011, and .999 Fine Silver to add more value for silver investors and collectors.
However, investors should keep in mind that Max Keiser has nothing to do with Bid Bullion and will not benefit in any way from the sales of the Silver Keisers. Max Keiser was quoted saying - "Bid Bullion has free use of my name and image for this. I have no personal stake, or any business relationship at all with Bid Bullion in the creation and distribution of these coins.
The collective success we will all enjoy when the fiat money spinners and in particular JP Morgan are put out of business is good enough for me."
The Silver Keisers are currently being made at Northwest Territorial Mint, which is one of the most recognized and the largest private mint worldwide. The bullion will be available for delivery by the first week of January. Buyers interested in finding out more about the Silver Keiser bullion should place their orders in advance as these bullion are expected to sell out quickly due to early pre?order inquiries by bullion dealers and investors alike. For more information on the Silver Keiser, please visit www.SilverKeiser.com.

LOL!
Awesome! Link to purchase?
Yah, I want a piece of that too. Might be a real collector piece in the future:)
Since Max isn't getting anything out of this, if I manage to get more than one of these, I'm going to send Max one. I would encourage everyone to do the same. It's a great way of keeping the effort going.
Unless max is long silver, physical or otherwise, just like everyone on this site. Also, everyone seems to be forgetting that JPM has over a trillion dollars in assets it can pledge to the fed in exchange for 0% loans from the discount window. JPM is not going bankrupt. You will literally be paying through decreased buying power for them to double down on their shorts.
A trillion in assets of what? Real estate?
largely derivatives, the fed loans them money at zero percent for them, they can then buy them back later if they want.
Keep your eye on the ball, Mr. Whiz.
It's about the silver, not a cash equivalent.
Money from the Fed in this case is like a raincheck from Walgreen's for an item
they have no intention of restocking.
So, 1 Silver Keiser can be purchased for approx 35 Krugmans?
I already own silver and gold as a hedge, but I don't plan on buying too much at a two year high in prices. Always a skeptic, when everyone is talking about buying physical gold and silver on a particular webpage, and the site is sponsored almost entirely by PM dealers, I tend to get suspicious. I've been reading ZH now for almost two years, and I have noticed a wide swing towards precious metals as the banners have changed.
I'm pretty sure the banners are dictated by the cookies in your browser? I get banners for plasma tvs when I've been looking for one for my daughters xmas, or screw fixings when I was building my gate. etc.
Surprisingly no porn...........
Well said, DM! It is truly amazing how many people still don't understand how silver works as real money. 'Count the ounces worth, not the dollars worth' should be the mantra until the info. sinks in.
The whole ponzi scheme that this market is - has it's days numbered. There is no assets - only liabilities.
You seem to be sadly mistaken about JPM. Check this out:
http://harveyorgan.blogspot.com/
" If you feel up to it, I urge you to see Kirby's paper " The Elephant in the Room" for a complete and thorough analysis of interest rate swaps and what it means.
...
JPMorgan is by far the largest derivative player in the world and they are the largest player in interest rate derivatives. ...
The real risk to JPMorgan is the speed of which long bond yields rise as they cannot get out of their contracts. This will probably be the spark that ignites inside a coal mine. A yield of say 5% would create a 1.6% loss of over 640 billion dollars (they state, I believe, a notional 90 trillion interest rate swaps so 45 trillion on the long end and 45 trillion on the short end). That would blow up JPMorgan and create havoc and collateral damage equal to a neutron bomb in the financial area of Wall Street."
So much for the myth of stability of JPM.
Oh, and thank you for the opportunity to point out some of the facts about the disaster which is JPM. I'd be happy to highlight more and call this to peoples' attention if you wish.
Sure, I love to learn. I just don't think that we are taking down JPM
If you wish to learn, then just keep reading ZH. Perhaps some day you'll be able to back up your wishful thinking with actual data. Until you can do so, all you've got are fairy tales. Which is not a good way to invest, but of course, many do.
Good luck with your investments.
I love people who throw out insults when asked for a source for thier bullsh*t. Stop pushing your POS blog on here too. No one wants to read it.
Then just do it for your own satisfaction and wealth preservation.
Gold and silver is NOT a hedge against inflation. If it WERE. It would never go down. Because it is used in good money for bad scams.
Since it's not a hedge against inflation it's a horrible fucking wealth destruction machine. And it's being pointed right at wealthiest people on the planet who will absolutely NOT stop buying bombs and people cookers and x-ray trucks and cameras and training bullets until you make them fucking poor.
They could have 100 Quintillion dollars in unencumbered cash and it wouldn't make them any less bankrupt if they can't deliver the silver.
There is hardly any silver! It's selling at prices that are at least an order of magnitude below where supply and demand should put it! They are burning 40% more silver than the world is producing in a year, and free stockpiles are all but gone.
Oh Wiz I wish you were right, but at the rate we're going a trillion from the FED won't buy you a monster silver eagle box....err... I mean no no, I mean silver is going to 2.58 and you can't eat silver and the IMF will sell silver.....they don't have any silver?.......they do have it in a secret location,...they're just not telling anybody, otherwise it wouldn't be secrete, only Warren Buffett knows where it is (it's a secrete) maybe Soros also knows (Also secretely) and nobody knows whether they're confiding in each other.
To summarize, silver is dead and the Jp Morgue will live forever, Heil Jamie!!
Bid Bullion has not even launched yet and the NWT mint does not have information about silver Keisers on their website. How do we know this is legit - or not some scam to bilk silver investors?
Keiser up the keister of JPM!
It looks like this was a complete scam. As I write this, the web page is gone, and is just a generic godaddy advert page.
You can bet though that someone will be back, with a more successful way of taking peoples' money and running.
forget the America the Beautiful coins - gotta get me some silver Keisers!
Wow. I might buy a roll, if the premiums aren't too wild.
They probably will be. Still, I'd love to have one.
I doubt Max will ever tire of this cause. But people might lose interest unless we keep buying and keeping awareness of the campaign up. This Sat Dec 11 is the first scheduled day to go out and buy one oz (or more) of Silver. I think more dates should be scheduled. Maybe one per month?
I agree. Call it "payday".
S I L V E R k e i s e r, bitchez†
LOL!!! This is now just plain silly. I'm selling into this mania. Keiser's army of morons can sit on my silver for awhile hoping for a miracle.
Well I hadn't plan on buying more silver, but this deserves a purchase for the novelty value alone. :)
Wow, big talk for someone who's been around ZH for a little more than a week. You can sell everything you have to me.
Interesting.. LOL Could be HarryWanger creating some allies.. Ohhh wait.. he has a large position in PM's.. but loves equities and thinks we are on track for a recovery.. Jobless recovery, nonetheless.. :)
Who cares about these "flavors of the week", arriving with their "new and unique" points of view why you DEFINITELY SHOULDN'T buy metals, and MOST CERTAINLY not take delivery in this DEFLATIONARY ENVIRONMENT.
Harry is in a constant state of Cognitive Dissonance...lol
Good luck getting it back. You won't be getting it from me, unless you have an equal weight of gold you are willing to trade.
Am I to understand you expect a 1:1 gold:silver trade?
I'm willing to settle for 1:2. I will give you TWO shiny ounces of silver per ounce of gold you give me.
Yes, briefly. That will be a blow off top that results from an intersection of the end of price manipulation, a physical supply crunch, and a public mania. I expect silver to Ancient Egyptian values for a few hours at the very end of the blow off top. After some years pass, the price will probably settle back to around 10-1, though it will vary greatly with industrial usage of silver (the more it is used, the more expensive it will be relative to gold). This is more expensive than the historical mean because now there are industrial uses that consume the silver. Should the supply dry up, the price may again rise to Egyptian levels, as a very high price will be required to strip the silver from landfills.
Gold is immune to such volatility, because it is not used up, so even if the in ground supply disappears completely, we still have huge stockpiles to work with. This is why gold is money, and why silver is losing its status as money (this does NOT mean it will be less expensive--platinum isn't money either).
I'll better that offer big time -- I'll give you 4 shiny silver ozs., for just one tiny little 1/4 oz. gold.
Here's one data point. I bought some silver the week after Thanksgiving. Over the past few days, there's been a bunch of hoopla over the fact that JPM managed to drive the price down about 5% via shorting like mad, at the most opportune time possible.
Last night, I ordered some more silver. It was up a dollar an ounce from when I had last purchased. What Evil Empire attack on silver? Geez, Blanche; drive it down some more so I can buy at a cheaper price!
And if Max is even remotely successful, it's going up a lot more. It will be even more interesting if the Comex is indeed insolvent, as it looks to be right now.
Wow, 11 junks! Congrats! That should be good for a 1.10 drop to 27.7!
Don't flatter yourself. I don't think the collective expectation of your IQ is higher than 20.
J.U.N.K.ed.
If you're trying to get rich off of this trade you're missing the point. In fact, you've missed the point so severely that it almost hit you in the back of the neck on it's second lap around.
Bubble, anyone?
Troll, anyone?
What do you consider yourself?
An intellectual. You?
It's a bubble when everyone owns it--almost no one owns pms. What you see here is the enthusiasm of early adopters being proved correct. Physical dog will wag the paper tail.
+.9999
BINGO!
BINGO! YouTube - Best Joke from "The Naked Gun"
How is silver a bubble if there are maybe 1 billion or (being generous) 1.5 billion ounces of investable silver available, in a world of 6.5 billion people, and a technological and economic environment where more silver has been consumed than mined each and every year for roughly 2 generations?
It is possible that you're right - you have a right to your opinion as much as anyone, but back it up with some kind of facts. Yes, silver has come a long way pretty quickly, and there may be some pullback as some people and institutions take profits, but it is my opinion (based on the long term pattern of diminishing above-ground stocks for 2 generations) that such would only be a pullback within a long, long bull market. Said bull market will end when silver reaches and sustains a price high enough to make it profitable for mining companies to make a long-term profit going after silver at greater depths or in lower concentrations closer to the surface. I don't know what that price level is, but I have placed a bet that it is somewhere north of $50/oz. Further, mines can't just be opened up and start producing - it takes a couple of years once a decision has been made (barring a national emergency and the suspension of environmental and safety rules, and ignoring profitability - and that's rather unlikely), so any shortage that pushes silver up high enough will continue for a couple of years at a minimum.
Add to that the fact that there is known short-interest in silver of over 3 billion ounces, and that such has been permitted to exist by the COMEX and other exchanges (unlike any other commodity) - and that such MUST be un-wound at some point. Between the shortage (or looming shortage) of physical silver and the necessary short-covering that will come sometime soon (certainly within 5 years), the price could easily shoot up to $100/oz. or more (as markets tend to overshoot "true" value on both the up and down sides).
Again, you may be right - but show us why with a cogent argument backed with facts.
P.S. I will buy at least one of the Keiser coins at least for the novelty value - and I will smile every time I look at it. I will also continue to buy physical silver whenever I can afford it.
I want a 5 ounce Silver round with WilliamBanzai7's avatar stamped on it. :>)
How about one with Buckeroo Banzai on one side and Perfect Tommy or John Smallberries on the other side?
Meh. I want Tyler on one side, and Marla on the other. That would be worth a great premium.
That would be awesome!!!
But who would be tails?
I guess that depends on the situation. I'd buy a roll for sure.
Yeah! There could be a new release every month, kind of like the Elvis plates with the Franklin Mint...Max Keiser, Mish Shedlock, Gerald Celente, Tyler Durden, williambanzai7, Reggie Middleton, Gonzalo Lira...so many I cannot think of everyone right now. It would be a novel way to take more silver out of the marketplace so JPM continues to live with that burning sensation in their posterior.
Alex Jones, Jim Rogers, Judge Nap, Marc Faber, Ron Paul, Bob Chapman yeah a long list.
JPM is up 1.5%
Yup ...so is DB.
'JPM up 1.5%' WOW .60 cents.
........ per share. Although, if you can only afford one, it probably doesn't seem like much.
:D
I think its a great idea to make a Max Keiser bullion.
This will encourage others to speak about the Precious metal farce.
Next should be a MK Gold Bullion.
Placing Keiser's image on the Silver round mentally and emotionally removes the "investment" idea from the process and inserts the "message" into the action of purchasing Silver.
People will more likely act based upon the ideology represented by the SilverKeiser than they would for investment purposes. The proof is all those Silver rounds that are sold as commemoratives or colorized for various causes or mementos.
Next they should make a Lady Gaga silver round, it would probably do more damage. JPM would crash overnight with all of her acolytes getting their paws on a little souvenir. They'd wake up the next morning to a big, "WTF, my atm card doesn't work..."
Evidently they release all information about the Silver Keisers on Sat, Dec 11, 9 AM Pacific.
Yep. Seems like a lot of people jumped on the comment wagon without even reading the release: http://www.silverkeiser.com/
Obviously not enough panic yet since the shortage of physical isn't causing the price to rise much yet (don't jump on me and point to the 10% rise of late, I'm talking about the kind of rise you get when an inelastic supply hits a mean demand curve).
I wouldn't be surprised to see paper value go down a little bit as people rotate out of SLV and into physical silver.
I want some of these sooo bad...a couple decades from now, if I survive, I can show my remaining kin a few souveniers from 'the Bankster Wars.' I doubt anyone will want to see the Bankster Paper which will be clogging sewers for years to come.
and to think when my daughter told mr bonderman she bought silver coins, he laughed at her†
Max needs to kick off a bank-run initiative on physcial PM's supposedly held by the banks. Those banks don't have the PM's they say they have. We need to destroy their paper game. That would crash the system & PM's would sky rocket.
"Silver Keiser"... I like the ring of that..
meanwhile the raid on the comex conitnues....
Gold down $15 in 15 minutes. Cartel out in force...
I can't get to the site. Imagine that.
I've got to have at least 1 roll for my collection. maybe the 5 oz ones. Too funny.
I'd buy one of those 1/100 ounce gold plated depleted uranium coins with Bush and Obama tongue kissing together.
You all will soon discover how corrupt the system is when the rules change, and possesion of PM's will result in detainment and disposal -- of you and your families.
Hopefully you all aren't afraid to fight for what's yours as everything else you thought you owned is confiscated for the "national security" racket.
Not a problem for me. Plus I have some spider holes to hid them in before they haul me off to prison. Let them try. A political move like that would blow up in thier face and they would have to reverse themselves soon enough. I can wait them out in prison.
Banning ownership of gold and silver won't work out anywhere near as well as it did in the '30s. First of all, there are an awful lot of common date pre-'33 gold coins in crappy condition left - how'd that happen if only "collector's coins" were permitted to be retained (such would mean that the metal content was only a small fraction of the coins value)? So even that episode didn't work out so well as it has been advertised.
Second, and more importantly, I am of the firm belief that when the guberment comes around "asking" for precious metals, what they're much more likely to get instead is base metals - specifically, copper-plated lead, delivered via airmail. Frankly, it'd be CW2 if the SOBs ever tried that.
I hope the tyrants-in-charge know better than to try this. But, unfortunately for them, all of mine fell off a boat on which I was gambling with a bunch of anonymous drug-addict prostitutes. It was a real shame indeed.
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer

OH CD, i remember wanting that pink dress she wore in BANG BANG,
sooooo badly.
like when you would shimmy those strands/tassels of thread would shake so beautifully.
All right! I did not see your post when I posted mine below!
I like Nancy's pink go-go outfit and boots. I'd so wear that. With silver accessories, naturally (gotta keep the post on topic).
thanks ms c, bet your a bitch in that kind of outfit.
so i will assessorize in G oL D, thank you.
no, i have REAL cow girl boots. probably knew that, guessing.
we can play dress up together†
Oh would I like to see MS. Creant in a pink dress like that and have the chance to stuff it with silver eagles!
Personally i would have prefered a tombstone of JPM engraved on the obverse side of
the coin.
Bernanke and Geithner tarred and feathered...
Nice. I'd prefer one ounce silver headstones that say R.I.P. J.P.M.
Bubble? Not even close. Try this... http://www.zerohedge.com/article/no-gold-or-silver-bubble-says-sprotts-john-embry
Dear ZH,
Perhaps there is a lesson here for you. How do you think ZH silver coins would sell?
Better than hats and T-shirts I'll bet.
I think you should consider it. I'd be a buyer.
If this is the line for taking orders on ZH silver, I'm second. Big up front investment for them and the politics of it may be hinkey (notice all the qualifiers on Max not benefiting), but buy I would.
I don't know about the politics. Merchandising is merchandising, isn't it? I'm thinking you start with a limited production run where all coins must be pre-paid. If ZH wants to disclose info on the proceeds, that would be great.
ZH is pro-capitalism (as am I), so why would anyone deny them making a profit? I support ZH and I like silver (baseball caps, not so much), so combining the two seems perfect for me.
I'm good for a roll or two (said bob marley to the baker).
But, I amgood for a roll or two. Personally, I like the tyler/marla coin idea that was bouncing around. Theta is a good one too. Creativity has never been a problem around here.
roll your own, cowboy†
if you want it done right...
Don't worry if the Kaiser Silver bullions sell out. The JP Morgue plans to start a Kaiser Silver paper ETF to meet the excess demand.
LOL! Good one!
LOL
Very astute as to how the PM game is played.
They could issue Max Keiser silver certificates, too!
Where's the Like button?
These will sell out near immediately if the premium isn't too high. Just bought some Maple Leafs the other day, but I definitely have room for some Keisers.
Somebody should mint a silver Zimbabwe Ben coin.
i bought a massive amount of silver at $6.50. I'm hop skipping to the bank with my recent sales above $30. You lemmings can take it from here. LOL!!!
Congratulations on your recent bulk purchase of toilet paper.
Best buy some gold with the proceeds, unless you think something has fundamentally changed or you just like living in poverty.
Jamie Dimon? Is that you with the bag over your head? I've been buying since then too. I'm not selling though. Good luck on the short side.
Hide the silverware folks. Rampant theft in the early 80's was no joke.
They might have to settle for lead. BTW there isn't much silverware left--most of it got melted in the 80s and it went out of vogue so it hasn't been replaced.
I've been bit by the silver bug thanks to Max's campaign! Boy, I didn't realize how empty the feeling one has holding paper money as compared to the truly satisfying feeling had while holding real PM.
And if one entertains the notion of fractal markets, when a macro market trend has a similar fractal dimension as mirco market trends, then one need only to look at the silver markets on EBay to realize that physical is bidding up considerably higher than the spot price, 30% higher for bullion in some cases, and the number of players in this Ebay market is still quite small. We aren't in a bubble yet and even as prices are soaring, smaller time speculators are willing to pay a premium above spot for all kinds of silver. That market is brisk!
And by-the-way, I thought the photo etched image of Max on the soon-to-be Max Keiser bullion coin was uninspiring to say the least, that coin needs an artist's touch, a sculpted profile, like the King's profile on a Ducat or Guilder, or perhaps a racy Stacy busty representation like on a vintage Mexican coin. Some of those Mexican coins have amazing bared breasts heroines. Max!
I'll only buy if Stacy Herbert's visage is on the reverse side!
So when can we expect to see the zerohedge fine silver bullion?
Excellent way to promote and spread the word IMO
I'm in. First Ag purchase for the cause. Great place to start. MK rulez.
I'm in for a roll of the silver keisers..
I love the theme
"gotta have me at least one Silver Keiser"
These are going to go quick
I'm in.
P.S. Just in case anyone missed it from the Jim Sinclair website (where does this leave Silver)
"I therefore conclude that gold is definitively going to $1650 with an overrun to $1764 prior to a reaction before it moves to higher prices on or before January 14th, 2011"
http://www.jsmineset.com/
Scroll down to December 6th
I think its funny that the new trolls here think they are smarter than "The KING himself"
Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.
Kill them cocksuckers Mr. Keiser!
How a peanut brain like Max Keiser could get so much attention? The best sign that the jews are fighting among themselves, small time jews want to take over the big banking jews. The goys should be smart enough to buy silver but stay away from all jews
I want 2 so I can display in a framed presentation obverse and reverse. (Carve) or router out indents for the coins, stretch some velvet, plug 'em in and frame. Maybe an extra for the pocket.
Engraved???
They better be stamped, not engraved.
Or bags I the skarff (shavings) sweep-up rights.
Think I will stick to Eagles and Maple Leafs - guess i am just old fashioned.
yeah...so, this morning i waited around online to get in on the silver keisers. i registered, logged in and waited when the time came. suddenly it was time to shop. so i shopped, and i put one of each coin into my shopping cart, proceeded directly to checkout. all info filed in, time to pay. it wouldn't let me pay. said the method of shipping was invalid or incorrect. yet, there's nowhere on the page to select ANY method of shipping. so my order sits on my cart and i'm unable to order OR pay for the stuff in my cart.
if my order/purchase is not honored, i'll be pissed.
so, if anyone happens to get a hold of any of these coins i'd like to purchase one of each. a 5 oz, 1 oz, half oz, quarter oz and tenth oz. that's what i have/had in my cart. i'd even settle for just one of the smaller denominations.
Did JP Morgan eff up the silverkeiser site? I tried to order and same thing happened to me! I really really want one!!!
seriously? i read somewhere on the site (i think in the FAQ section) that the shipping charges would be added later, but i was under the impression we'd be able to buy them...that is, pay for the order right then whether or not they get shipped right away or later on.
i'm pissed. i had been online this morning waiting around specifically to grab up a few of those. they still sit in my cart and it still will not let me purchase. i don't understand if this is just part of the process- that is, if this is how they've planned for it to go- or not.
i've emailed them three times and have yet to get a reply.
browncoat, do you know of anyone else who's not been able to purchase?
littlebuddy,
I tried here in Ireland and it didn't work, the thing above happened and it wouldn't recognise my phone number and stuff, so I called a relative in the US to order for me from there-and the same thing happened-kept saying "you did not select a shipping method" but there IS nowhere to select one!
I sent an email to the site telling them there's a glitch, and my relative phoned the Canadian number, but he just got a canned message saying "due to overwhelming demand we are unable to take calls until Monday the 13th"
Presumably people are ordering them by phone as the site is not working for some reason. Maybe try calling on Monday? Let us know if it works! :)
