I (like many Prosper practitioners) have been following the exploits of one pensioner (click to see his portfolio). To date he has invested over three quarters of a million dollars. Needless to say this guy believes in the law of large numbers.
BloggingAwayDebt has a prosper loan as a borrower and recently interviewed Pensioner: http://www.bloggingawaydebt.com/2007/01/would-you-lend-750000-to-complete-strangers-this-man-has/.
I would like to point out that even through he claims he isn’t diversified he has at most 25,000/750,000 ~ 3.33% of his portfolio in a single loan. The standard advice for money runners is no investment more than 2%, so he is pretty diversified.
What a great read.

Glad you enjoyed the interview.
Thanks for the mention
A very good read indeed! It’s good to get a perspective of someone who has so much invested in Prosper.
