The key is not to invest based on projections, but to make sure that the company is producing real revenues and profits and cash (by looking at the cash flow statement). Also, I would recommend the book Financial Shenanigans.

I just started my stock market journey and I am learning so much about investing. Is this a common occurrence with stocks that are not considered penny stocks? How is a novice investor, like myself, to protect herself from making buy and sell decisions based on fabricated news? Thank you in advance for any additional insight. Be well! Interesting!

I'm staying short on KYUS until the dump is complete -- it is just too perfect for me to take a measly 15% profit.

I did a recap on KYUS http://www.investorslive.com/blog/2008/05/greed-and-the-plug-gets-pulled-kyus/ Nice bounce so far but I doubt it holds much longer... unless of course they do another $2.3M mailer Nice post!
