Here’s a story for investors who see a stock price leap from $2 to $50, then drop to 17 cents and wonder-- what the hell happened?
Independent investigative researcher Matthew Miller unveils the spectacular rise and collapse of Malaysian fiberglass manufacturer WF Holding’s stock price.
The story involves:
False buyout reports on Benzinga that went uncorrected.
A share price that climbed from $2.05 on October 8 to a peak of $50.60 on October 12. By October 14, they closed at just 17.5 cents.
A $18 million financing deal that could create roughly 120 million additional shares, announced during the collapse.
The end result? Existing shareholders owning far less of the company.
This story exposes a gap in oversight: Screening companies before they’re allowed onto an exchange only goes so far if no one keeps a close eye on the deals they make afterward.

GTA 6: “Unprecedented” Demand
While Take-Two Interactive Software $TTWO ( ▼ 3.48% ) posted a financial loss on Monday, shares of the video game company jumped 4.32% in after-hours trading.
Financials: Take-Two reported a loss of 29 cents per share in the past quarter, which was better than expected. Revenue reached $1.49 billion, which was lower than expected, but hype for the upcoming GTA VI (Grand Theft Auto VI) game saved the day.
Quote: “The launch of Grand Theft Auto VI is ten days away and, with pre-orders continuing to reach unprecedented levels, we expect to deliver an historic year for our company.” - CEO Strauss Zelnick.
Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Grand Theft Auto VI is seeing strong pre-orders because it combines pent-up demand for a hugely popular franchise, a roughly 13-year wait since GTA V, and a launch campaign that is turning anticipation into purchases.
Final Thoughts: Investors in Take-Two finally have something to cheer about. The stock was down over 17% this year.
