Archive for May 9th, 2008American Presidents: Life Portraits President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities American RadioWorks - The President Calling John McCain 2008 - John McCain for President President - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Filed under: Deals, Management, Raising money, Engagements, Venture capital industry, Private equity industry, Investments It appears that the world of porn just got more recognition from the private equity and venture capital industry with awards and with what might be an open floodgate of capital. And, no…it isn’t that private equity executives and deal makers are spending more time looking at porn than they are on deals. Well… maybe. AdultVest is a private equity venture that we covered upon its launch earlier this year. The company concentrates its practice exclusively on adult industry investments, mergers, and acquisitions. So far, the initial indicated numbers are almost stellar. It isn’t claiming to manage this much, but for “available capital” in the amount that investors claim that they or their firms are willing to commit some $7,966,850,000.00 of capital to adult-themed investments, with some $286,560,000.00 being noted as “within the last 7 days.” It also claims 3,809 registered investors, with 53 of those coming in over the 7 days. That data is on their homepage. It was also just selected by Alternative Investment News as one of four funds nominated for the “Hedge Fund Launch of the Year” award.

(NASDAQ: RICK) just gave earlier today, you might think that adult-related entertainment is not as economically sensitive as you’d think. But if you saw the incredibly poor performance from the current climate impacting Playboy Enterprises inc. (NYSE: PLA) then you might not assume it’s an endless spending. There are a myriad of reasons that the investment community is trying to get into and make money off porn. The most obvious one is because you’re reading about it right here right now.
Filed under: Deals, Management, Engagements, Shareholders, Public or private? Some companies get it, some don’t. Circuit City Stores, Inc. (NYSE: CC) has been in the camp of companies that don’t get it. That may have finally changed today. The company appears to have finally capitulated and realized its days under its own efforts may be limited. There are two separate announcements this morning, but in reality it is all part of the same issue. This will allow the company to deal with the activist pressure, and may ultimately lead to the company either being run by a better team or become a subsidiary of another company. The company just issued a release that it has reached an agreement with Wattles Capital Management. Blockbuster Inc. (NYSE: BBI) and Carl Icahn might finally get their way.

You know, because it’s that sixth day that has really been holding them back. Just the other day someone told me, “I’d really like to watch Gossip Girl, but damn, I hate that CW Sunday.” The idea isn’t a new one for Television in general. A lot of Saturday morning programming is handled in this fashion. And when Smackdown first came to the network, it was done as a time purchase with the WWE.
