“I’m looking for some adventure,” she says, with an enigmatic smile.


With the blazing summer sun melting the keys on my wireless laptop, here are a couple of stocks that should really heat up, enough to pay for a new air conditioner:

If you're looking for a really fast buck, try Counterfitness Centers (FAKE-MNY), which is a counterfeiting ring disguised as a chain of health clubs. They'll get caught, but until they do they're making a lot of money.

While I usually steer clear of entertainment stocks, Triple X Films (XXX-FLMS) caught my eye. A low-budget producer of pornographic movies, they pay actors virtually nothing and don't file income taxes, making their profit margin the envy of Wall Street.

With a little luck we'll all be a whole lot cooler - or in the cooler - this summer!

(Mr. Money is paid by each of the companies mentioned.)
