Some very smart investors/economists etc. gave testimony before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission discussing the causes of the sub-prime meltdown, collapse of Lehman Brothers, the role of rating agencies, and other causes of the financial crisis . While, some of the testimonies are very interesting to listen to, most are quite lengthy (Warren Buffett's testimony lasted two hours), and I prefer reading rather than listening to the audio. H/T to my friend Steve of http://www.santangelsreview.com who transcribed David Einhorn's testimony before the commission, which took place in November 2010. In the interview, Einhorn details his thinking in late 2008; how he saw the disaster coming and shorted several major financial institutions.
