With stocks looking expensive, this seemed like an attractive place to invest so I opened up a LendingClub account last night.

So far, I've only invested ~1/5th of the money I've put in, just because there weren't enough available loans to meet my standards. How often do more come in? I noticed some new ones this morning, so it can't be that infrequently, but are they processed daily in batch? Real-time? Anyone know?

Thanks, all. I'll keep checking back at the refresh times. I'm not in any hurry to throw my money away, but it's hard to get a feel for what the best notes look like if all the good ones are snatched up before you ever see them.

At least with LC, Google invested in it, giving it a lot more legitimacy in my eyes: http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/05/02/google-to-invest-in-lending-club/?_r=0 I'm not saying they're without risk, but I assume that Google Ventures has done their homework well.

That said, I'm not putting anything more than "play money" into my LC account.
