An Intern’s Guide to Trading
This is great, but remember that if you're interested in investing, and not the markets themselves and trading, then this whole landscape is already so over-optimized to the point of being irrelevant. You could've achieved everything you wanted in investing even in the pre-computer era, like for example Buffett did. In fact you could've done everything you wanted already in the 1600s Amsterdam - see the book "Confusion of Confusions", a pretty great read.<p>Read the 10-Ks, think about what people (will) need, what kind of margin pressures and competition dynamics will play out across the economy, read finance history books, play with pricing models. Focusing on market structure is kind of like focusing on network adapters and packet switching details, focusing on valuations/pricing/finance is like building deep ML models. Of course you need the damn networks to work, but guess what - some pretty clever people have already solved that for you.
