Since we don't have access to reliable data from Prosper or the third parties, I figured I would manually scour the SEC filings for the Sales data (not the listing data).

To the extent others would like to help manually collect this info, please feel free - and I will update this post with data as it becomes available to me.  With a little bit of work, we should be able to continue to measure pertinent funding activity.

Can't guarantee that this data is 100% accurate.

Filing Date      Number of Loans   $ Funded

May 3             42                     $179,025 (Revised)

May 25           19                     $ 92,310
May 26           31                     $139,800
May 27           40                     $140,300
May 28           28                     $120,500

Total originations for May 2010: $1,781,085 (should be viewed as approximate)

These numbers are still subject to verification - and I'd love some peer-review.

This must be a dumb question, but do you mean that the Data Export on Prosper is not accurate?  Can you elaborate or maybe point me to other posts? Sorry I'm new here.

Also, specifically look at KenL's post towards the bottom of that thread.

Thanks Xenon481

Since we don't have access to reliable data from Prosper or the third parties, I figured I would manually scour the SEC filings for the Sales data (not the listing data).

Wow!  Above and beyond the call of duty.

That's what I was thinking.  Urbi, truly amazing and thank you.

Looks like there were only two days that funded over $100k in loans.  Yowch.

Thanks, guys.

The original post has been updated to include originations for 5/25.

Monthly originations to date: $1,380,485

Observations from looking at every single loan originating this month:

- I am struck by the number of borrowers who are multi-loan borrowers
- There's an interesting new lender on the scene: julian_rojas72

[pioneer11]

- There's an interesting new lender on the scene: julian_rojas72

Wow!  He's taking on whole loans.

[Urbi_et_Orbi]

- There's an interesting new lender on the scene: julian_rojas72

Wow!  He's taking on whole loans.

He's taking positions on highly rated loans offering abnormally high interest rates.

Can't go wrong there!

For those wondering...by manually pulling together loan origination data, I have been able to basically conclude/validate that LendStats.com is still providing accurate origination numbers.

For a while, my confidence was lowered when 1) I had no way to compare to Prosper's own data, and 2) the origination data looked too poor to be true.

Interesting - seems the credit grade on Eric's doesn't jive with the credit grade on Prosper for the loans he's financed. They also seem military related.

They don't and they won't.
