I might write to Barry Bolitho and see if he can flick me some of those options, I'll give him the spiel that I'm the shareholder communications officer on H.C., not sure I will have any luck though.

As for IDM.
I always have a "pet stock" that I research until my eyes fall out of my head, the last three have all done well, but were unfortunately taken over prior to realising their full value (that's my opinion - Ammtec, Essa, Jabiru).

However, IDM and the mineral sands industry sits much tighter into my profile than the others and this has helped when I've really dug deep. It doesn't mean that I know or have seen everything, but I feel much more at ease holding them. I welcome anyone else's views and further information though, we can all learn something from each other.

As for my stocks, I'm only holding six, one other in this space.
