This week promises to be a little boring with the main item of interest being the quarterly survey of business spending plans on Thursday. We have seen momentum and volume ease out of the market the last couple of weeks and this lack of excitement will further add to the likelihood of the Australian market drifting south here for the time being. One way to capture a profit from the downside is to purchase an ETF called BBOZ. It moves in the opposite direction to the market but with some internal leverage. That means that a 1% move in the market will cause BBOZ to move greater than 2%, but in the opposite direction. If we expect the market to cool off about 5%, then there could be gains to be made.

Other than that we have looked at Hansen Technologies ((HSN)) for this week which could provide us with a great opportunity on a dip.
 


 

HSN has been in an uptrend for 10 years now. Most recently, the stock has been chopping around the mid $3's and we can see a possible "head and shoulders" forming on the chart. This means that we could see HSN drift back towards support near $3.30, and if that gets broken, then it is likely to fall back towards $3. That $3 mark also happens to be the trend line for the last few years. There is also good support near $3, and a 3-wave decline from the April high also measures down near $3. So, it is worth watching HSN here and a move to the low $3 area would be the ideal buying opportunity.
