Roundup of Social Lending News – July 30, 2011

July 30, 2011 By Peter Renton 3 Comments

Views: 1

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.

This week several bloggers shared their investing experiences with new updates but my favorite article of the week was on Fox Business where Lending Club CEO Renaud Laplanche has a monthly column. The topic of this month’s column was how to retire rich. While he doesn’t actually mention peer to peer lending in the article, the lesson is clear: invest when you are young and take some risks. Enjoy your weekend.

    Is American Consumer News an investor in Lending Club or something? Seems pretty biased and inaccurate about Prosper.

    Oh and Peter, I’ll respond to your email soon, just got home on leave. =)

    @Shawn, I believe American Consumer News is published by Matthew Paulson, the same person behind P2PLendingNews.com.
