State securities regulators are warning investors to be careful of peer-to-peer lending over the Internet, a trend they say is on the rise as conventional loans have become scarcer and more costly.

The National American Securities Administrators Association Inc. has issued an alert advising investors about the risks of online loan “matchmaking,” also called social lending or P2P.

But the firm added: “The calculation requires significant assumptions about the repayment of personal loans,” and “lenders should make their own judgments with respect to the accuracy of these assumptions.”

Indeed, Mr. Massey said, when problems arise with P2P loans, it's often due to the fact that an intermediary handles the transactions.

So, the problem is Prosper.  Who would have guessed.

It's not their general cluelessness I mind, or Urbi's usual fearmongering thread title - it's that they quoted my site... without actually linking to it.  Bastards!

So, if you actually read the link, you would have noticed the origin of the thread title.

ETA: although it's hard to argue your point about the cluelessness, considering they deemed your site a valid source for information.

My apologies - you weren't fearmongering, you were just reposting someone else's fearmongering.  Check.

I still have not heard if they have made any statements about 8-track players yet.
