When? Who? Are you talking about, say, Dr. Burry and the mortgage bubble? Because he was definitely an 'expert' already.

Dr. Burry was trained as a medical doctor and started investing on the side.

Definitely not one of the anointed "experts" who followed the too-common family connections, Ivy League, and i-banking VP path.

His undergrad degree was in economics from UCLA. He never practiced medicine and started his own hedge fund soon after medical school.
