Purpose of loan:
Loan proceeds will be used to bulk up my Fidelity Trading Account, which I use for short-term stock trades.  In addition to my day job, I supplement my income by trading stocks in my Fidelity account.  My current account balance is $75,000+, but I am looking to increase my working capital.  I earn approximately $2000/month from this account.  In 2006, I earned $26000 (with starting working capital of $43000).  So far in 2007 I have earned nearly $20000, with starting working capital of $60000.

I use margin and occasionally short stocks, but I do not trade options, commodities, penny stocks, or derivatives.  I typically trade mid-cap to large-cap companies like Wal-Mart, Target, and Texas Instruments.  I rarely add any new companies to my watch list, and typically have been trading the same stocks over and over again for several years.

I also wish to establish a credit history on Prosper, as I may become a Prosper lender in the future.

My financial situation:

I am an excellent candidate to repay this loan because I have a long work history, outstanding credit history, and an extremely solid financial standing.  It's the old Catch-22 - I'm an excellent prospect for this loan because I don't really "need" this loan.
