"why on earth would they cover when CPRK is about to increase A/S ?"
How do you know an A/S increase is coming. Are you privy to some inside info on what the new board intends to do ??
State how you know this or retract your statement, because without backup it's speculation (also known as spam). Guess you are about as accurate as the people who were screaming all last year about the company doing an R/S and going private....Sheesh....
