Then the Prosper site itself and the message board will help
In 2000, I was dating a guy who was VERY "stats" savvy. He watched trends like a hawk. He told me to sell my stocks. I thought he was nuts. Then a few months after they started dropping, I sold in a panic. Just dumb, dumb, dumb. I made a few $$$'s here and there, but my accountant basically told me I'd be writing off the losses for years
It's funny because the only REAL money I've made in stocks in when I've invested in friend's public companies. I'll stick to that now
I moved several years ago to a little town 1.5 hours outside ATL to get away from it all. Seems one of the guys who started WEBMD owns tens of thousands of acres and is developing it like crazy. We're now the 2nd fastest growing county in GA. Granted, now I plan on MOVING out of the town because now I'm back in the crap I moved away from, but the money made on buying up property a while back has been excellent
