The Trader Wizard Bill Cara’s new book “Stock Market Literacy” is based on his four-decade career as a securities industry insider.
Cara joined the industry in 1981, and by 1986 he had built the eastern Canada full-service broker-dealer operations of Canaccord, the biggest non-bank-owned competitor in the industry. After years of semi-retirement in the Bahamas, he returned to Canada as the system designer and CEO for the start-up of Qtrade Investor, the electronic broker most frequently rated #1 by Canada’s Report on Business. At 62, he founded the Cara Community at http://billcara.com named by Forbes magazine “Best of the Web.” At 65, he became a Bahamas-licensed securities investment advisor with a worldwide clientele. The following year his first book, “Lessons from the Trader Wizard” received outstanding reviews. At 77, he passed the SEC Series 65 to become a Financial Advisor in Florida.
