hey rjbluesky, you say "its important that it be re-iterated that its not clear that NewMarket is a scam"...well tell that to many investors such as myself who bought in 4-5 yrs ago or more who got creamed here because of Phillip Verges endless dilution constant pr's that amounted nothing but fluff..bold face lies while he and his family enjoy the millions of $$$$ he skimmed off from all of the commons..here we sit at .0001 after a couple of reverse splits over the years...even though we've had R/S and the commons shares were taken away,,the outstanding/authorized share count never changed...the guy is a crook.
