the acquasitions may have been good value but they have undoubtedly increased the number of shares on issue .... hence diluted the SP. I am trying to determine whether NMS has weathered the storm of the investment crisis better than its peers. Easiest way to measure that (and the most relevent for my wallet) is to compare the SP over past 12 months with other similar companies. RCR for example does a lot of work for WOR who do stuff for WPL. Hence, they are also connected to the petroleum industry.
