Three year CDs currently yield only about 5%, making a Prosper loan at 10%-plus seem extraordinarily attractive for mid-term investment.
yep, sure looks attractive... but also consider

BAC it's under $50 a share right now.

Pays a $2.24 dividend which is about a 4.6% yield

and should be selling for around $60 per share 3 years from now.

BP it's sitting at $68 a share, yields 3.82% and should easily hit $75 a share before end of this year.

I looked at prosper as well.

just was not liquid enough for me... but for fooling around might be fun.
