Hello.  I?m looking to borrow from those on Prosper in order to put the money in the stock market.  I have been investing in the market for about 4 years now and have had success.  I am looking for some extra capital to invest in the market at this time.

I currently have about $14k invested in the market, with another $3k in cash looking for some buying opportunities.  At this time in the market, I feel that there are many buying opportunities and would like to borrow some extra money to do so.

My investment style is to look for value investments.  I usually hold stock for at least one year.  This method of investing has proved successful over the past few years.  I am also planning on updating my investment results via a blog at summrs1.blogspot.com.

I will pay the monthly payments buy selling some of the stock each month.  To avoid transaction fees, I am going to open an account with Zecco where I can trade with no transaction fees.  I plan on putting some of my own money in the account to trade with to keep the balance above the $2,500 minimum to qualify for free trades.

I enjoy investing in stocks and am looking to make some extra money.  At the end of 3 years, I hope to have beaten the market and have some extra money for myself.  If not, I have plenty of resources to makeup for any losses.

I have great credit and am looking for a way to borrow some money at a low rate.  By bidding on my loan, you can earn some money yourself at rates higher than current saving and CD rates.  ING Direct savings account is currently earning 3% and 3 year CD rates from Bankrate.com are currently showing 4.1% APY.
