No one listened to me and now they see so many freeloaders it's starting to really effect their income. Yet still you don't come up with anything solid. What should I read, who should I listen to?

I* do read what people say and mostly it's bullshit. I post people in porn who made far more than online porn guys. and all I get is bullshit. Yes they diversified out of only porn. They had the spare working capital to do that and a solid business.

Adult.com sold for $9 million nice chunk of change but not a big company. You wouldn't of bought a major offline porn company for that. The supposedly biggest porn company today is Manwin. Anyone seen Manwin's audited accounts. Know exactly what it was bought for, know what it's worth today? No, all we got is news reports that Manwin have handed out. Same goes for any other online porn company.

no one knows what Shap got, but if you compare what Lensman go, sold and when with what Shap had and when he sold. I doubt if he got the same. Good luck to him, he got an offer and knew it was time to grab it. But no one knows what it was.

How many online porn companies have gone public and issued shares. That requires audited accounts?

Because without that, the rest is guesswork. At least with these guys we know roughly what they're worth or were. Larry Flynt, Paul Raymond, David Gold, David Sullivan. Is Hefner worth anything today?
