Can someone tell me about what the cost of getting a series 7 and 63 license is? Thanks

Probably to get help get out of debt. I would imagine with in a few years adult websites will be traded publically, all it takes is for a couple to get the ball rolling, then they'll all do it.

it must be one of the few, the only other one i can think of is playboy, but they were publically traded before the dot com boom. still the companies financials are horrible

from some of these companies i've seen go public, recently(within 2 years) it seems as though, someone just woke up with an idea and next thing you know, it's being mentioned on CNBC, seems recently the whole Chineese internet thing is becomming pretty common. I wonder none of these adult...
