Another pussy.  No PeerLend on lendingstats.com.

I think it's funny, though.  The more people post, the more chance there is that people will SEE the posts.  Go for it, Opinion1956 and Peerlend.

Yeah I have noticed a trend of pussies posting in other forums using fake names.  Imagine that.

Care to out a few?

No - Who am I to open the closet door and try to add a spine to someone else.

Peerlend is nonattender.

I guess the "opinion" person is MHS since they took a jab at me.

I find it highly amusing that Prosper has about 5000 fluff pieces circulating on the internet & in newspapers across the country with  mostly wrong information & one single truthful article is out there & all the cheerleaders are in a panic over it.

This article just needs a few more recommendations to keep it always on the front page.

All this time and I didn't even know you could recommend an article. (I knew you could recommend messages posted in their forums.) That's fixed now--I am the 20th recommendation.

Well, don't get your hopes up.  Prosper is just sunshine and puppy dogs.  As you know.

That's why I tried to not say anything negative in the text and hid the URL inside of the link.

I was looking at prospers SEC filings (Prosper's S-1 Form) and got a chuckle out of the following paragraph:

Lenders.   Lenders are individuals or corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies or other entities (referred to in this prospectus as “institutions”) who commit their funds to Borrowers’ listings by bidding in amounts above a certain minimum amount, which is currently set at $50. A Lender who is among the winning bidders on a listing at the end of the auction period will purchase and take assignment of a Note, executed by the Borrower and initially made payable to Prosper, in the amount of his or her bid at the interest rate established by the Platform’s auction format. Although we refer to such holders of the Notes as “Lenders,” all of the Loans are made by Prosper to the Borrower from Prosper’s own funds and then the Notes representing each such Loan are sold and assigned by Prosper to the Lender or Lenders who were the winning bidders for the Loan. The term “Lender” is used for the sake of simplicity.

Maybe they lied to the SEC too?

I do agree prosper has issues but if we are to come down on them, let it be for the right reasons

Looks like he has the mental capacity as every new lender to Prosper

Lack of comprehension is a given with them all.

Wow!  Well, remember there are no education or licensing requirements for blog authors.   ...kinda like the requirements for Prosper group leaders.  The written test is real short.

Look at this as good news.  Articles on the fool site are seen by a much larger audience than our little forum and blogs.  This guys reaction is evidence that a wider set of folks are seeing the story.
