Notes -
Can people suggest a good way to learn the ropes of finance and playing markets? I am shamefully un-learned in these things. I would like to learn about how modern finance, investments, banking, markets, financial regulations, etc. all work. More from a pragmatic than from a theoretical motivation (I want to start being more of a capitalist and less of a wagie), but theory is good too.
In the words of Sam Altman "you can just do stuff".
Of course, in the words of another sage "experience is a dear school", so don't expect the lessons to come cheap.
Playing the markets is probably negative EV, so I'd advice you to read "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" before getting started.
