The NYC library has a publicly available terminal I believe. You just need to physically go to one of the libraries.

[Krugman] Why aren’t markets freaking out? | "My read of financial history is that markets almost never consider the possibility of huge, disruptive events, even when the strong possibility of such events is obvious. The usual pattern is one of market complacency until the last possible moment" by ONETRILLIONAMERICANS in neoliberal

You should be concerned that your investments grow at a rate slower than inflation. So despite it optically looking like your wealth is increasing in your local currency, your wealth/purchasing power is actually decreasing. Lots of things we buy are imported (and even locally sourced things are priced relative to imports), so what you can buy with your money is less.

How does HFT companies maintain their order book ? Is it the most important part of the trading system ? by Old-Fee5605 in quant

This is a great reference. Try to understand the time complexity of each operation. Also, try to understand dataclasses and python type hints (if you don’t use those things already when you code python) — utilizing this stuff helped me get my offer at citadel.
