Cantor Recants: Abandons Box Office Futures Trading:
Score one for MaxKeiser.com. We lobbied relentlessly to keep these dangerous products off the market. The basic problem was that Cantor Fitzgerald had modified my design (they acquired in 2001) and created a Frankenstein version that would do tremendous harm. Sources inside HSX told me repeatedly that Richard Jaycobs, the executive working on HSX/Cantor, was in way over his head with this and had no understanding whatsoever of how the exchange worked or how markets in general operate.

PMF: Dueling 9-11 Flicks, “911 Jackpot” Trending Higher Than “Broker Zero.”:
With a new documentary coming out on French TV, '911 Jackpot' creator Hicham Hamza and his project are trending higher than 'Broker Zero' on PirateMyfilm.com
'911 Jackpot' 24% funded
'Who is Broker Zero? The Story of How Alex. Brown made millions on 9/11' 20% funded
Rumor is, the producer for 'Zero' had to expand the budget for the film to accomodate for some new writers coming on board, and as a result 911 Jackpot is now racing ahead in the funding race.
PirateMyfilm: “Iceland’s Economic Citizenship Program”:
Americans and other people around the world are looking for ways to escape their oppressive governments. Iceland starts selling citizenships to go along with their new Modern Media Initiative program protecting free speech. This new film asks how quickly Iceland can act on this idea and how much they should charge for a passport.

Trend Exchange’s Robert Swagger, The Dr. Kervorkian of Hollywood Readies His Needle:
Never underestimate American industry's tendency to commit suicide. Recently, we've seen it in the car business, the banking business and the housing business. Now we're going to see it in Hollywood. As someone who studies the foibles and psychology of bankers and businessmen in America (as they kill the American economy and ecology in the name of entrepreneurialism) I anticipate watching and reporting as media-derivatives increase to 10 to 20 times the size of the underlying business they are supposedly 'hedging' and then explode in a fiery death spiral of fat profits for insiders alongside losses and recriminations for the Ponzi scheme suckers who will lose big time.
Prediction: The next Heath Ledger type incident will be tied to a hedge fund manager rumored to have cashed in on Trend Exchange.

PirateMyfilm: Getting Closer to 9/11′s ‘Broker Zero’:
Max - Saw you are making a film about the stock options issue on 9/11. I tried to acquire the investigative material referenced in the 9/11 report only to discover that the relevant files have, according to the government, been destroyed. That's right - the government claims to have destroyed part of the 9/11 report. Here's a copy of the FOIA document. Good luck with the film.

MaxKeiser.com is Buying Shares in PirateMyfilm Listed Projects Covering BP’s Gulf Coast Eco-Terrorist Attack:
PirateMyfilm If anyone wants to submit a micro-budget $500 film idea to Pirate Myfilm; locals in the Gulf Coast region who can get behind BP's thugs and record what's going on, I will be buying 100% of these shares (via the PMF Fund) and posting these films on MaxKeiser.com and possibly show clips on RT's 'Keiser Report.' List your projects; the usual review by PMF members who rate the projects applies. Additionally, the PMF Fund must give the project an 'A' rating and Green Light the project before funds are released to the film maker. I think films that are 10 minutes in length are OK. If you want to shoot on spec. and sell PMF the film that is OK too.
Cantor Fitz’ Howard Lutnick Gets Kicked in the Nuts:
Our tireless effort to stop Howard Lutnick, the venal and shameless CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald from launching his ill-conceived variant of box office futures contracts is gaining strength. The CFTC and MPAA were made aware of the pernicious conflicts of interest between Cantor and Hollywood insiders - a relationship that The Hollywood Reporter has done their best to cover up - but online publishers like Slate have worked tirelessly to expose - has tipped the balance in favor of reason. Too bad the CFTC is not equally robust in stopping market rigging in the silver futures markets.

This Might Kill Cantor Exchange:
Blanche Lincoln, Wall St.'s thorn in their side, won re-election. She has been lobbying, along with the MPAA, to kill box office futures exchanges. Her defeat would have been a win for these new weapons of mass financial destruction threatening to do an 'Enron' on Hollywood.
