You have to ask yourself if any of these "speakers" have done any research on P-----r or if they're just being paid to run a dog and pony show. Or maybe they're being offered options ;)

Classic comment from Urbi to a poster who said they were leaving:

"Once again, we note that your threats are hollow and you come across like a sad, lonely blowhard.

I doubt anyone here gives a shit about you.  We pretty much all know that you are a vile and unethical parasite of a human being with an abnormal craving for attention."

Nope, No options here.  They did offer me a couple free nights at the Parc55 for the conference though - unfortunately I had already booked elsewhere.  So if anyone is planning on going to Prosper Days, I have a couple nights at the Parc55 I'm willing to sell at "default sale" prices!  Well, maybe not that cheap... :D

The only thing I'm curious about is who the successful lenders and large portfolio managers are going to be.

I'm pretty sure Pensioner won't be standing up there for a second year....
