Thanks for posting this list of websites talking about investing with Lending Club. I have an account and actively invest and want to read about this investment vehicle as much as possible so I can be improving my results by applying new ideas and strategies. Over the time I have been with Lending Club I developed a strategy of selecting and watching my notes in portfolio and so far I was able to avoid default notes or even late notes. However, most of the evaluation I perform manually and now I am looking for ways how to automate it as much as possible. So thanks for the listing. I’ll check them out.
