| Ask HN: Good resources for learning+getting into Finance / Trading? | ||
| recommended by 2 users | 2010 | 86 points by jasonlbaptiste | markets | original thread | | ||
I'm starting to be intrigued by Finance/Trading/Stock Market, but sadly know nothing about it from a professional perspective. I don't even know what to ask for, the same way a complete luddite wouldn't know how to ask for more than "What are some good resources to learn to start building computer programs?" So with that said, where would one start? | ||

Trading and Exchanges: Market Microstructure for Practitioners. On the lighter side there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reminiscences_of_a_Stock_Opera... (especially good is its discussion of bucket shops—many swindles that exist today existed back then too). Also, look through Matt Levine's blog to see if he recommends anything. There are also other suggestions here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1447438 I'd second tptacek's recommendations in that thread, including Shiller's Yale course (it's on youtube). |

It happens that there was a particularly fine HN thread on this a week ago, which a lot of non-weekenders might have missed: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1447438
