What else would you expect? Any distinction between the Fed and the banks has all but disappeared. It's all tied into one, big Parker Brothers printing press.

Yes, be wary of shelfs (shelves?), especially when a big block of insiders' shares are included. Not sure if this is the case with COF, but I got burned by one of those (I should say I was too naive to heed the flashing lights) back in the early 90s. Company went BK soon after insiders got rid of all their shares via the shelf. I was so naive at the time that I thought I was well-informed by the IR person regarding the insiders' lack of intent to sell . . . . But she had a hot picture and she flirted alot on the phone.
