Most Awkward Stock Pitch

Imagine you're in an interview and they ask you to pitch a stock. What stock would you pitch to make it as awkward as possible? I'd guess if something in the porn industry was traded publicly it would a top candidate.

 

I looked at a deal which centered around Japanese men watching PPV porn at low rent hotels. Most interesting part of the due diligence was finding out what the average viewing time was.

EDIT: On a later deal, I stayed at a high rent Japanese hotel and looked at the adult movie titles (for professional purposes). They were all like "Unwilling high school cheerleader" and "Banzai banzai tentacles!". I then realised I should have asked for the list of titles on the other deal.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
