At the annual Allen & Company conference here, DealBook asked Mr. Buffett whether he thought Mr. Blankfein might resign from Goldman in the coming months. The Oracle of Omaha didn’t mince words. “I don’t think he is. I’ve seen nothing to indicate that myself, and I don’t want him to,” he said enthusiastically. “I want him to stay!” [Dealbook]

    I wouldn’t want the guy who paid me $500M/yr in interest + warrants to ever leave either.

    No, he can make someone pregnant if he wants to bad enough.  It’s medically possible, you know.
