The CEO cries 'We can't control the market'. Isn't the market controlled by earnings? Profitable companies' PPS rises. COOP may have a great marke cap and a ton of money, but how are their earnings? Are they increasing? Buying back shares doesn't seem to make the PPS rise. I don't know why. I also believe anticipaton can make the PPS rise. That is If one believes the company will do great things. That is missing here IMO. So days of small rises are wiped out in one bad day. This stock used to go up $1 in one day. No more. I believe the CEO (wih his $9M salary) is doing a terrible job. And the horrible RS is always a disaster IMO. They need to do another m+a. Why not buy a home construction comapany. That way they could build the homes and supply their morgages. They could then become a conglomerate. Buying back shares doesn't seem to make a difference. MSFT and AAPL don't cry that they can't control the market. Thier great earnings DO contol the market.
