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.
It was a pretty quiet week as everyone gears up for the big July 4th celebration next week. As always, though, there are some noteworthy articles for you – a couple of interesting ones by Anil from Random Thoughts and an interesting perspective from Kevin at Thousandaire on investing with Folio. The CardRatings article was also picked up by Fox Business which is great for my good friend Matt Jabs from Debt Free Adventure who was featured in the article.
As long time readers know I have been in Sydney, Australia (my home town) with my family for the last six months but I am heading back to Denver this coming week. It has been a great visit and we are sad to leave but our time here has come to end. Now, it’s back to the hot summer in Colorado where I hope they get some rain soon to put out all those fires. Enjoy your weekend.
