Every Saturday I bring you the latest news from the world of peer to peer lending. These are the best of the news articles and blog posts from around the web that I shared on Twitter this past week.
It was a pretty quiet news week. The most interesting story of the week was the article on Bloomberg that provided a detailed look at the peer to peer lending industry in China and how it compares to this country. A new blog, P2PAnalytics appeared on the scene – they plan to offer data analysis on the historical loan data at Lending Club data and Prosper. Anil from Random Thoughts provided his typical rigorous analysis and it was good to see Michael from Nickel Steamroller with some interesting thoughts about hedging high risk p2p lending portfolios. Enjoy the start of the Olympics (I am a huge fan) and have a great weekend.
