Congrats to Peter and Bryce on the mentions! 

Boneheaded quote of the day comes from the Indiana securities commissioner: ""But there are limitations on the financial data that is available, and a chance of default, so we need to protect investors."

Limitations on the financial data available...http://weknowgifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/minion-gifs-2.gif" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">right.

Where exactly do they think IR01 and IR04 come from?

Thanks AmCap. I don't know when these securities commissioners are going to get it.

And to give some background, I had an hour conversation with this reporter and responded to no less than a dozen emails over the course of a month and she didn't even mention Lend Academy in the article... https://forum.lendacademy.com/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif" alt=":-[" title="Embarrassed" class="smiley" />

For those who don't have a WSJ subscription Yahoo Finance also picked it up:

Interesting article . While attempting to read it from the perspective of one never involved in p2p lending, I am not sure if this article would be sufficient  to motivate me to start. All the better for us I guess, even though it appears the beginning of the months rush to fund all the new institutional money has finally been quenched for a while. I actually had a chance to see what a top of the line D note looked like for 1.679 seconds before it was fully funded this morning.

I will have to investigate if the Bitcoin miner machines can be converted to buying LC notes through an API. Those machines are really fast.

I know, right, Peter? I never even told the reporter that I worked for I university, yet that's the affiliation. Sheesh. How about tying P2P-Picks to the importance of independent credit modeling to help protect against the incentive to grow too fast. Oh well, better than nothing, but I would have liked the traffic to the site.

Mentioning your name should lead to the site.  Just keep at it guys https://forum.lendacademy.com/Smileys/default/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />

Haven't had a WSJ subscription for years but isn't there usually the ability of readers to add comments to the electronic copy of the articles.

If the above is true suggest you add a comment leading them to "P2P Picks" and or "Lend Academy"
