“Something we talked about earlier this week, there’s a change in Wells Fargo. This was a bank that we said, they’re around the table, the kitchen table. Now they’re around the table, the deal table. David, you have said over and over again, [inaudible] seeing the names of the people who work at Wells, and they’re not Wells people. They’re from everywhere. A lot of these people are people I think weren’t able to become CEO at their companies because the CEO himself wouldn’t retire.

“David, one thing I would point out, Charlie Scharf, many people know, is just one of the nicest people. And he’s a regular person, and that’s attractive to the people who are leaving the master of the universe firm. To go to someone who just says let’s get it done. . .I’ve had one shouting match with Charlie, I feel badly about it, I want to take it back Charlie, I apologize, because I said why aren’t you buying more stock back? And he said, we’re buying back plenty. Well the fact is, they bought back so much. They bought back everything they could. . .”
