PPHM is a very potential stock, although now it is a little downword, will see jump soon.

I'm looking for general insight. This is an excerpt I copied from a blogger commenting on the reasons for the performance of PPHM...

"...Good news is not the same as good product or services. A stock may spike up on good news, but it is not sustainable. Those you owned at .40 when it shot up to .90-1.00 on good news, should have sold. Those that bought at .90
hoping the 'good news' would carry the stock a little higher took a gamble - very different from an investment.

If .40-.50 is the appropriate value of the stock without further development or sale product, then that's your buy point. It doesn't mean this is a bad
company, but it's important to evaluate the value of a stock when the
hype of good news has faded. Hype and news is not sustainable - only
product is."

My question is one of "Due Diligence". What are the specific steps in going about due diligence? How does one determine the "appropriate value" of a stock? and lastly, where would one find a list of potentials ( drug stocks) to evaluate and choose from (because other than chiming in to some forum, I have no clue as to how to know of these companies)?

I always look at the market cap of the company and compare it to the earnings of the year. Then go back a year look at the market cap and compare it to the earning of that year. That would give you some sort of insight to what it will be for the next year and so on. Of course alot of factors play a big role in the PPS or appropriate value.
