Can anyone here explain what is going on with COF? In the past month it has run up 30 then down thirty with intraday swings of 8-9 points. Today it is down 20+.

Another possible reason we can think of, though it may have nothing whatsoever to do with this situation, is to issue stock options to a creditor in exchange for extending the maturity of a note. Options could also be issued to an investor as an incentive to invest in the first place. Just think of the issuance of stock options as a way for a company to compensate someone for doing something in lieu of paying cash.
