I might as well introduce myself
« on: November 02, 2010, 06:12:11 pm »

My first personal investment was in foreign currencies, i lost about 8.5k :) whoops,
Second i am trying stocks, i think i am doing ok not as good as the average but at least not losing money, got in jan 09, 
third i am trying prosper, i going to slowly feed in more money, well hopefully if not too maybe loans get defaulted on,

I in college going to be an electrical engineer, i want to do something productive, i do not feel making money because i have money is a respectable profession. however i think it is ok to kinda balance. work a job that might hopefully one day help people and make money on the side :).  well see i am hoping that maybe i can feel with prosper i am helping people instead of just taking their money. maybe for the fun one time i hope to bid someones loan to 0 lender yeild :) but it might not happen i don't know if prosper will allow it.

Welcome.  Make sure you understand the real level of risk here.  Now that I have had an opportunity to several years here - and to finally have a Prospectus to review, I suspect Prosper may be at least as risky as Forex - and Forex, in my opinion, is not all that different from gambling.

I'd guess Minnesota resident of either German, Austrian or Swiss origin?

Yeah i believe Forex is gambling also now :)
I had tried to use the Eur/TRY to get the 20% annual interest but it turns out it doesn't work :)

i am fourth generation so born in America,
Does my poor English skills show, I probably should have better skills for going to a private elementary and high school but i never liked English,

But half Norwegian, quarter German, eight French and English.

I guess I had hoped you would be able to come up with something equally original or clever on your own, but I should have known better.  ;)
