That doesn't make sense. COOP doesn't short itself to buy back its own shares. The BOD would not say COOP is undervalued and promote its stock. Instead they would silently buy back the shares. And as I said, they can only buy additional shares for a maximum of $3.8 million until end of July.
They have to wait until August 1st (otherwise they would put the NOLs at risk), but then they COULD buy back up to 50% of the outstanding shares, which is ~86,000,000 * 50% = 43,000,000(!) shares (if they have enough cash)
