Well, okay, so I am a bit paranoid when it comes to my trading computer. One hears such horror stories of trading accounts' passwords stolen and balances wiped out. I used to think these accounts were fairly safe since money withdrawn can only be sent directly to one's bank account, but then I read about that guy who got into someone's account, sold all the stock in the account and used that money to buy the options he had in his own account, thus transferring his worthless options to this poor guy's account, and getting all the money in his own account. Pretty slick, except, of course, he got caught. So I'm a tad overly cautious, constantly adding new security when I find it. Better safe than sorry. And NO, I do not wear suspenders (LOL), nor do I worry about my pants falling down.
