Question
I am a accountant in a finance firm , I want to invest in the porn industry. I don't know how to go about it. it's not like buying stocks at the stock market of buying mutual fund bonds.
I would like to know the companies which fund or make porn movies, I have heard most of the time they are profitable but don't know much about them. I have a sum of $30000 as a working capital. please answer at the earliest as I want to invest before march end to avoid getting to pay surcharge from the beginning of next financial year itself.

Answer
Ritwik,

I'd recommend looking at the following websites:

www.adultinvestment.com
www.adultvest.com

Note that these are VERY high risk types of investments, so I'd recommend working with an advisor who is knowledgeable about the adult entertainment industry before you make any investment.
