Listed brothel's shares gain (http://www.news24.com/News24/World/Sars/0,6119,2-10-1488_1353781,00.html)

Melbourne, Australia - Shares in the world's first publicly-listed brothel made their debut on the Australian Stock Exchange on Thursday, proving that sex sells by more than doubling in value.

The listing of Melbourne's Daily Planet brothel was launched by Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, the renowned and reformed madam who once catered to Hollywood's elite.

...

The group plans to build on its success, hoping to create a "sex Disneyland" in Sydney where prostitution laws are less restrictive than Melbourne.

Why go through the expense of vacationing in Australia. Thailand, Cuba, and the Phillipines can fullfill every perverse craving you have at a fraction of the cost.

But I believe the Mustang Ranch actually did an IPO way back when. I wanted to buy shares and get a certificate but it proved to be unworkable

Thanks WF. I didn't want to steal the Aussie's thunder, but I was going to mention this.

I was surprised the stock plan didn't fly as it was a cool place. I think the Feds gummed up the works rather than see it be profitable again. :(
