here's some interesting news from down under...

Shares in Australia's first publicly listed brothel - The Daily Planet - were sold for 50cents a share on the 1st of this month. They reached $2.09 during the day, but settled on $1.09.

who'd have thought brothels could actually be good on the wallet!

I believe at one time shares in the Mustang Ranch were also offered for sale. Guess I shoulda' bought one so I could claim I had a share in a whore house. Had an uncle that put all of his money into lots and houses - lots of whiskey and whore houses.

If prostitution were absolutely legal... there would be nothing better to invest in. You can always count on the male desire to get his rocks off.

Only business in the world that goes in the hole and still makes money!

Imagine the liability insurance a place like this needs. I wonder if they cover STDs?

These sorts of places would have to be members only and would require the signing of a waiver of some sorts...

I think it would be a great business... It would be best if it was run as a cooperative where the women run the business themselves (no pimping or living off the avails, etc.)

---believe you will find the Mustang Ranch was once
under the control of the US government.....and lost
money the first two years---so they sold it to a private
individual----and he made a large profit the first year..

---by the way....it was the IRS that took over the ranch
and lost money....sounds about right...
