🎓 Reddit experts on banks & banking books
The comments and opinions expressed on this page are written exclusively by redditors. To provide you with the most relevant data, we sourced opinions from the most knowledgeable Reddit users based the total number of upvotes and downvotes received across comments on subreddits where banks & banking books are discussed. For your reference and for the sake of transparency, here are the specialists whose opinions mattered the most in our ranking.
The mortgage business is pretty complex (due to both its size and the number of regulatory hurdles), but here's a really rough overview of the business, how mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) fit into the picture, and how NRZ operates in the industry.
The reason people say that MSRs perform well when interest rates are rising is that prepayment rates decline when interest rates rise. Servicers make more money they longer their portfolio stays active, so when refi rates are low MSRs on existing loans are worth more.
New Residential Investment Corp:
Now, all that said, the servicing industry is, overall, a complete and utter shit show. While NRZ is definitely the best from a capital adequacy and large-scale strategic perspective, the servicing business is still run as it was in the 90's, and it was poor by anyone's standards even then. Operations are a mess, and compliance failures abound. Very few organizations care very much about their servicing departments, just read a few pages about Ocwen's trouble with the CFPB, NYDFS, and California's state regulators and you'll see what I mean. Hopefully NRZ has done a good job selecting their sub servicers, but even if they've done an average job they should come out on top given their other advantages.
Grain of salt: I've read a fair number of books on the subject as a hobby, but I've never worked in the field. This book in particular has a solid chapter on servicing.
Aside: bitcoin's a better purchase than all this fiat shit.
I picked up The Science of Algorithmic Trading a few months ago. It was just released, and from what I've read so far (the first few chapters), it's very knowledgable and a good primer. Some of it gets much more in depth into portfolio management, and TCA -- but it also gives a good overview of market micro-structure. If anyone were thinking about getting into algorithmic trading, this would be a great primer.
Seriously this!
Start focusing on your computer science degree. Get a job at a FinTech company. And learn on the job. A lot of what we’re doing is so new that there aren’t single resources to learn.
Given that here are some books:
Also there’s a bunch of good podcasts. Breaking Bank is a good one to start with.
The thing is FinTech is a big field. Figure out whether you want to be in Payment, Lending, Banking, or whatever else.
Feel free to Ask me questions or DM me. I’ve spent my entire career in FinTech

Well first and foremost, the "Axis" that you referred to is not a monolithic entity, but rather, an alliance of world powers with their own vested interests, their own reasons for war, and their own justifications for military expansionism. So judging from how your question is framed, by "Axis" you seem to be referring specifically to Germany, but I will attempt to unpack your answer in as nuanced and comprehensive way as possible.
Many in the Japanese military saw the expansion of their empire as a means of becoming a modern state in the eyes of the world, on par with great European powers at the time. Furthermore, Japanese framed the rhetoric of this expansion within a dialogue of "Pan-Asianism", and the protection of Asian interests from white imperial powers in the West (namely Britain and the United States). Many Asian countries, be it the Philippines, China, Thailand, etc. had a long history of both military and economic subjugation at the hands of European and American imperialism. In this regard, the Japanese fighting allied troops in the pacific did not see themselves as agents of genocide, but rather, as protectors of a sort of paternalistic guidance of Asian independence and progression, with conveniently, Japan as the father figure protecting their fellow Asian "wards" within that paternalistic setting.
In regards to Germany, I think it is instructive for us to use an approach similar to Mary Renda's in her account of the U.S occupation of Haiti by asking the question: How does one imagine themselves when they pull the trigger of a gun? Again, engaging directly to your question, is it likely that the common German soldier saw himself as a vessel of genocide? Or, is it more likely that the background of the soldier in a prewar context (their class, their regional identity, their experiences with Jews before the war, the relationship to economic depression and recovery, etc.) shaped their attitudes and motivations going into the war? Some surely did see themselves as actors in the genetic purification of the German race, however, I would postulate that these were the minority of soldiers. Some saw themselves as restoring the glory of the German empire. However, as [Stephen Fritz] (http://www.amazon.com/Frontsoldaten-German-Soldier-World-War/dp/0813109434/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1413870497&sr=1-4&keywords=german+soldiers+of+world+war+two) suggests, many others saw themselves upholding the less sinister values of National Socialism against the forces of communism and capitalism. National Socialism was more than just the idea of ethnic purity. We have to remember the context of post WWI German society; its political unrest of the Weimar Republic and its economic hardships. The soldiers of Germany experienced this context, it memory was palpable and vivid, and thus, many saw the country's renewed glory as intrinsically connected to the class, economic and political ideologies of National Socialism.
I do not have a comprehensive background in Italian history or Italian fascism, so I won't attempt to postulate on the motivations of soldiers in that context. However, I would just like to end by cautioning you of the approach that leads to questions like this. What you are doing is taking a presentist mindset, the knowledge and context of the present and imposing it on your inquiry of the past. In so doing, you devoid the subjects of your presentist thinking of their historical contexts, and in turn, pass judgment onto these historical actors and ascribe motivations that were either nominal or secondary to their lives and beliefs. This is not an attack on you, or, an attempt to scold you in an academic sense. Rather, it is simply an attempt to illuminate some the fallacies that everyone (including professional historians) bring with them that shape their historical scholarship. In the future, try to refine your inquires by identifying possibly presentist ideas and analysis. Again, I don't want this to seem like an attack, I am glad you are attempting to think about the motivations of the other in a historical context.
I hope this answer shed some light on your question and the historical contexts the shaped the more forgotten actors of the Second World War.

Humanity is at a threshold point, the concept of property rights as we know it will be tested.
Those that are presently extremely wealthy know it is just a matter of time before the mass of the people start to realize that the distribution of wealth is an artificial superstructure that is only possible due to the ignorance of how credit functions by the mass of people.
Here is a book that begins to explain how money and credit works:

If they simply "stopped paying attention", how would you explain the CIA's orders to the Jeddah consulate to grant Al Qaeda operatives visas into the country?
How do you explain the fact that once in the country, the alleged hijackers received training at secure military installations.
It is you, sir, who needs to read some books:

Confessions of an Economic Hitman

Bank Control of Large Corporations in the United States
Wake up to reality my friend. These people are not, and have never been, incompetent or negligent. If they were either, they wouldn't be in the positions of power they are in today.
Fine, apologies for my snark and sometimes rudeness. I stand by the point that on the one hand, lay people shouldn't even try to form opinions on what they don't know. This leads to people who read the news and support anti-vaccines, or people who read the news and then support Brexit, only to protest it later, or people who read the news and pressure lawmakers into avoiding TARP bailouts, only to change their tune literally days later after seeing the consequence (this is a reference to TARP legislation actually failing originally in the House on Sep 29 2008, and was literally passed two days later once the public and lawmakers saw the consequences of what they did, this is my favorite example of people changing their tune once they realize they don't know what they're doing). Then there's people who read the news and self diagnose before going into the doctor's office ... every doctor hates that.
But on the other hand, everyone is free to choose their hobbies and casual interests, and some baseline level of knowledge is fair to strive for, so maybe I should get off my high horse and stop dissuading you from that. If you treat the news more skeptically as a source of "info" in the future I'll call it a win.
One casual source I like that covers the crisis is here, this is written by the President of the NY Fed at the time, who later became US Secretary of Treasury.
If you want a little more technical source to read I'd recommend this, written by an economist who is well known for studying the crisis.
Aside from the crisis if you want economic news in general, for god's sake avoid media outlets. Here is a good source of ongoing commentary from the Fed that will cover both technical and layperson material, you can filter as you like.
I'll let you have the last word, sorry again if I was rude.
Don't know if it's exactly what you wanted but check out these non-fiction books:
The Singularity Is Near (Ray Kurzweil)
Augmented: Life In The Smart Lane
Surviving AI: The Promise And Peril Of Artificial Intelligence
Edit: Bicentennial Man (was already mentioned) is one of my all-time favorite films
not sure if its that what you are looking for, but a teacher in university did recommend this book last semester. I looked already a bit in and it seems to be interesting. Its about central banking in western countries from Middle Ages til now. : https://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Central-Banking-Palgrave-Economic/dp/1137485248
Thanks for your advice! As for know I'm going to look at Princeton textbook.
I came across this book. It claims to go deep into how the Blockchain works. What do you think about it? Is it any good?
My favorite forex "conspiracy theory" is about SNB playing with the market when they firstly put the floor in and then 4 years later when they removed it, just days after they reiterate it will hold. here is supporting evidence in form of a book Forex Case Studies I recently read :)

I have a few questions:
(1) Did you go to a top school? If not you can all but forget about getting into a top bank in the most lucrative position of doing deals. Unless you happen to have an in.
(2) Why do you need to be in a top bank?
(3) What are you looking to learn for banking...meaning deals or just the banking industry in general?
For general banking industry start reading through 10Q/Ks. You will quickly pick up on what drives banks and how they view/drive profitability.
If it is the former then hit up the following:

I love this video, such a great visual breakdown.
I highly recommend to anyone intrigued by this to read The Creature From Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin. It’s long, but it will blow your mind
Don't know if it was the teacher or the book, but my Money and Banking class with this was fantastic. However, that would come the semester after intro to macro-econ.
>How much of the increase in overall pricing is due to the sharp jump in oil and housing?
Likely not much since fuel and housing are not regularly included in the CPI measure. If they were the fed could not maintain their 2-4% inflation illusion.

Also, look up the prominent banking families from Frankfurt Germany (Rothschild, Warburg, Schiff) and their ties to Jacob Frank and Adam Weishaupt.
This is known among many within this sub. Take it easy on the explosive headlines...

While on the topic - which is an important one, here's some literature and media:
First this book, then this one, and finally this book. Then your training will be complete.
They used this Mishkin text in my Money & Banking class.
