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?
