When will they just go down...

Not soon enough -- I see they are still using that bogus formula for Expected ROI=Interest rate - Expected loss percentage.  At this point, it is just fraud to continue to advertise a known erroneous formula.  To say nothing of the fact that the expected loss percentages will no doubt -- as they repeatedly have in the past -- turn out to be far too low.

Prosper Rating...% of Funded Loans
AA ... 20%
  A ... 27%
  E ... 5%
 HR ... 8%

At least it's good to see Prosper lenders have figured this out.  Back in 2006-7, people were funding Es and HRs like crazy, and the Es and HRs of today would have been Cs and Ds back then.

Ds were considered a potential sweet spot back in those days, based on the ScoreX.   ;)

I can't keep of how many times I, personally, have let them know about that particular error. . . . . .

Hopefully not until my last loan goes in the black.
