Dan Matthews is a stockbroker who works for the brokerage house Chadway-Whitnow. He is Steven and Elyse's broker. Alex tries to predict stocks for a school project and is so good at it that Mr. Matthews recommends Alex's tips to his clients. Alex persuades Mr. Matthews to help him invest his parents' money in the stock market, first by impersonating Steven over the phone and then by pretending he has his parents' permission to invest money.
Mr. Matthews is relentlessly cheerful no matter how the stocks do. He has no sympathy for his customers' financial woes, even when his retired parents lose their life savings, their house, and their car.
