Steven Mather, a 37-year old computer consultant from Tampa, Fla., trades stocks from his laptop for an hour or so each day, but admits, "I get very paranoid when I can't get to a computer to watch what's happening." He gave up work to trade full-time from his home for a few months last year-and promptly lost $35,000. Sounds like a real idiot! Is he deterred? No. "I'm planning on going right back in," Mr. Mather declares. "But I need more... . I'm not going back without $100,000." Although he readily acknowledges he's a gambler with a penchant for blackjack and the local dog track, he doesn't consider his online habit a problem. As he puts it, "I make a lot of money," and he claims to have hundreds of thousands of dollars stashed in longer-term brokerage accounts. This guy needs some serious psychological help!
