The Cara Community holds that:
- Capital belongs under the full control of its rightful owners, whether institutional, corporate or individual.
- Individuals can produce excellent returns through knowledgeable, skillful securities trading while retaining control of their capital.
- Financial self-determination is a primary life goal, and personal debt is antithetical to that goal.
- Much of the financial services industry has been built on the sale of risk to people who may think they are purchasing the means to returns.
