Default Re: Taking out a prosper loan to buy stocks

You have to get 8-10% returns on the market (historical averages that most investors don't even get)

I agree with most of what you are saying, but if 8-10% is the average isn't this what most investors should end up with? It's like saying your ev is $8 but most of the time you will end up with $5.

It's because people don't invest in boring indexes. They'd rather buy individual stocks and lose money or make less than the market.
