Purpose of loan: 
    I am a retired business owner and helping my son raise money. Following a divorce my son was left with limited funds. My credit is excellent and I have very few monthly expenses. I am confident in my son?s abilities as well as my own ability to evaluate his business and performance. This is his story:
    I intend to fund my share of a partnership in a new  business. I have faith in my abilities, my understanding of the market, and focused industry sectors. $10,000 will go to fund my trading account and partnership obligation.$15,000 will be used for computers, software, and database subscriptions. I developed the logic behind proprietary software for evaluating stocks that will be licensed to the partnership. We are not a day traders. Day traders go after pennies. We go after dollars. We use a multi-strategy investment approach with hedging and risk protection.To date our system has yielded outstanding returns for my partners' money accounts and for my paper accounts.For example, a few recent and some ongoing investments, all with realized or locked in returns:                 
Covanta (CVA)                            60%                        AAR Corp. (AIR)                   40%
Baidu (BIDU)                               50%                        Ensco (ESV)                         4%
KB Homes (put)                       1045% !!                      Hoku  Scientific (HOKU)      150%   
    With our system losses are limited to 5% of the investment. I am a graduate of Cal Berkeley and have degrees in science and business. I have  taken a company from a two-car garage start-up to a publicly traded company ran two additional companies. I'm a business development consultant in high-tech and have consulted in the biotechnology industry. I have taught business as an adjunct professor. This investment business will be my full-time job.
My financial situation: 
    I am retired, sold my home and I have no debt with very few monthly living expenses. As such, even in a worse case scenerio I am able to support the additional expense of this loan. I have many years of perfect credit to support my ability to repay debt obligations.
