What's a good place to learn about swaps and CDOs? I know the basics, but I really want to see how "deep the rabbit hole goes". Where do I read about how these things are put together, how they are valued, how they are traded, etc.?
Join an investment bank or a buy side firm. Buying swaps and writing complex derivatives contracts are out of the domain of 99.9% of retail investors and you won't be able to find ways to execute these type of trades from your ETrade/ Robinhood/vanguard brokerage because their aimed at retail investors. Not to mention the collateral and cash equivalents needed to trade those types of products are in tens of millions of dollars.

I actually want to learn about these in order to join an investment bank or hedge fund. Don't they require knowledge about these derivatives before you join them?
Just watch The Big Short dude Margot Robbie and Selena Gomez will explain it to you
