10 years from now, Prosper may go down as a contrarian-indicator that signaled the impending POP of the credit-bubble.

Slaughtering their #1 fans wasn't the best of ideas.  They single handedly killed off their best word-of-mouth.  As much as people here may have bitched & moaned about issues, they really cared.  As we see people drop off, we see a complete lack of concern about the survival of prosper & see it more as a waste of time.

If prosper wants to survive, they are going to have to figure out how to win people's support back & in a real way.  People looking to invest money are not going to buy pixie dust being blown up their ass for long.

Wasn't your Prosper portfolio the contrarian-indicator that signaled the impending POP of the credit-bubble ?

Jerry, if you really think that an unshaven, square-dancing, ESP-devotee slumlord with dating issues and a "few extra pounds" is really going to be able to hurt my feelings...you think wrong. Have a nice day.  :)

There are so few days represented by April so far that I wouldn't take the projection seriously. Having a week of data would be better than a couple of days; two weeks, better; 30 days, best.
