Instead they want to get paid the interest and short the stock. It is a sweet play. We were discussing the issue of "how many of the current 15.3M short shares are possible bond-hedged shorts, and you think that the bond-hedged short shares are significant and those shares should be discounted from the current short interest coz the bondholders are in no hurry to cover". What I am saying: "those bonds were issued during 2/99, and hedging via shorting shares were done while Amzn was far above $156. If the bond holders shorted Amzn around $180; they will be very tempted to cover now under $100. The shorting can be independent of the bond ownership."
