I know most of you are ahead of the curve when it comes to investing in the porn industry but for the few late comers in the audience– it’s not too late. Though AdultVest Inc. has closed it’s Priapus Investment fund, which sticks its money in such ventures as Handjob.com, “gentlemen’s clubs,” etc, to new investors, a second fund is on the way. “In spite of the U.S. and global economic condition, the Priapus Investment Fund, LLC, is on track for a great year,” fund manager Francis Koening told FINalternatives. Obviously this guy‘s all in.

Handjob.com is doing well? I guess everyone really is cutting back.
late comers – get it?
too long; didn’t come
Definition: Priapus was the son of Dionysus and Aphrodite, a fertility god. Statues of Priapus, thought to confer luck, were marked by exceptionally prominent phalluses.
Bess are you long Peter North?
Do you think any future employer will have a clue what “due diligence for Priapus” means on a resume?
I thought it had to do w/ curved wangs, no?

Frankly, I’m shocked and disgusted that a report like this could appear on Dealbreaker.
Everybody knows that it is correctly “its Priapus Investment Fund”, not “it’s Priapus Investment Fund”.
Educational standards these days are a scandal.
Like all dudes they want to be big in straddles and spreads, maybe a little swap action, too – but go home alone and drunk at 4:30 am and settle for hammering their shorts.
porn is whats for dinner!
Bess’s fav position = ?

Seriously. Disgusting.
We all have our limits.
Finally a hedge fund with a “happy ending” when you “withdraw”….
Apparently the online porn industry saw an anamalously huge pop in their YOY comps right after the stimulus checks went out earlier this year. No pun intended (I think) on our government’s part, although I’m guessing more stimulus checks would provide more of a boon to the industry.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – As the financial crisis bites deeper, laid off Wall Street employees used to fielding calls from head-hunters or hearing of jobs through their contacts are searching for new ways to find work.
And sometimes they get to drown their miseries at the same time.
One such opportunity was a “Pink Slip Party” at a midtown Manhattan bar on Tuesday night which drew about 500 people who enjoyed cheap drinks, networking, and a chance to find a new job with the 25 recruiting firms that attended.
The cover price at the party, sponsored by theLadders.com, an online recruiting firm, and Wall Street blog Dealbreakers.com, was $20, or roughly what a employed Wall Streeter would normally drop for a midtown Manhattan martini.
@14…watch the YouTube of Kermit the Frog reaction to it – high comedy.

“CBS News correspondent Priya David spoke with several compensation consultants who said that, even in this economy, firms are worried that, if they don’t pay out the bonuses, they’ll lose their top talent — people they want to keep around for when pastures turn green again.
…
For Wall Street workers still employed, there could be a hefty bonus in their checks next month.
According to a report from financial news agency Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs, for example, has set aside $6.8 billion for bonuses, and Morgan Stanley, $6.4 billion. “
13…I’m guessing in control, behind said man of her choosing with a strap-on yelling those turn on obscenities we all know and love.
…at least I love ‘em.

love me some billie piper
somehow i suspect that this guy is full of shit. the publicly traded strip club they own (ticker RICK) is down 75%, and free online porn is destroying the profitability of the smut industry.
We talked to these guys last year prior to Priapus’ blast off. Mysteriously, they needed to draw down 100% of commitments on day 1. They did not grasp the most basic concepts of running an online business. No doubt Francis is full of shit.
