For the 4Q2021, I created a Cara 400 stocks and 100 ETFs that are being modeled for trading purposes. Of the stocks in my watchlist, I gathered a list of 100 for discussion (i.e., not particularly for my trading) to be named the Cara 100. This Cara 100 includes some companies that are not in the S&P 500. All of them, however, represent companies that I would invest valuable time to study in depth.
