Your portfolio return since you started on August 6, 2007 has been 7.82% compared to the S&P 500 return of 1.59% for the same period.

Hi I am the one whom you gave a not so good review on Linkreferral for my Prosper promotion. I just thought I would make my own comment on your blog. Stating that I really like your blog and it is one that I would read regularly. My blog currently does not look as sophisticated as yours, I am still building and working out all the kinks. However if you wish I would more than happily share you blog on mine. By the way I am now subscriber 24 to your blog thank you. 9/1/2007
