$SRH #ASX - Saferoads Holdings - Might be a good defensive stockJust been having a look around for potentially defensive stocks showing steady growth throughout the year. Very low cap stock, but has some good revenue coming through and in a space where effects of any economic downturns might be lessened. Not much liquidity though so entry and exit might take a bit longer to secure the price you want.

The Company provides products and services, including flexible guide posts and signage; rubber-based traffic calming products, including separation kerbing and wheel stops; variable messaging sign boards; decorative and standard street and major road light poles, and permanent and temporary crash cushions, including bollards and safety barriers.

$HZR #ASX - Hazer Group potentially a favourite.Hazer Group Limited is a specialist commercialization company. The Company is engaged in research and development of graphite and hydrogen production technology. The Company utilizes the Hazer Process on unprocessed iron ore as a low cost catalyst to crack natural gas to produce hydrogen and graphite. The Hazer Process enables the conversion of natural gas, and similar feedstocks, into hydrogen and graphite. The graphite produced by the Hazer Process is (greater than 90% weight (wt)) crystalline synthetic graphite. The Hazer Process can be tailored to create a range of graphite morphologies, enabling the Company to target multiple specialized markets and end user applications. The Hazer Process is developed at the University of Western Australia (UWA).
I keep reading about more and more companies looking into Hydrogen as an alternate fuel source - especially for the longer distances here in Australia. Hazer has both hydrogen and graphite as their outputs of quite a clever process, and one of the very few traded Hydrogen stocks. Bit too early to buy and hold, but one to watch.
More of an emotive buy than a TA or FA one.
Someone talk me into or out of it :D
$YANK #ASX - Shorting the Aussie DollarWith the sharemarket in a pretty unpredictable state I have been looking around for some different options. Thought this could be interesting as I keep reading a lot of pundits suggesting that the Aussie dollar might be on its way to 60 cents. YANK is up 30% since Feb and that was during a pretty bullish period, so might be worth a look as an alternative to traditional shares. There is a non leveraged ETF called USD which does similar.
(Additionally BBUS, BBOZ, BEAR are also ASX traded ETF's that can help you more easily short the ASX and US if you think they are headed downwards. See my older post if interested in these.)
BetaShares Strong U.S. Dollar Fund (hedge fund)
OBJECTIVE
Provide investors with a simple way to obtain cost-effective geared exposure to the change in value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Australian Dollar.
ABOUT
Gives investors a simple and accessible way to obtain magnified “long” exposure to the value of U.S. Dollar relative to the Australian Dollar
A 1% increase in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Australian Dollar on a given day can generally be expected to deliver a 2.0% to 2.75% increase in the value of the Fund (and vice versa)
Profit from a view that the U.S. Dollar will strengthen relative to the Australian Dollar via an efficient use of capital
Hedge against USD currency risk – reduce exposure to movements in AUD/USD exchange rates
Diversify a portfolio – currencies have historically shown low correlation to equities, fixed income and most other asset classes
Alternative to CFDs or FX platforms
Gearing magnifies gains and losses and may not be a suitable strategy for all investors. Returns over longer periods will not necessarily be equivalent to 200% – 275% of the return of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Australian Dollar over that period.
Advantages
Access – obtain magnified exposure to the performance of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Australian Dollar as simply as buying any share
Convenience – investors avoid complications and costs of CFDs or other investments providing ‘geared’ currency exposure
No margin calls for investors – cannot lose more than initial investment
Liquidity – available to trade on ASX like any share
$CAG ASX - Cape Range going for a run?I haven't bought but thought it might be one to watch for a bit.
Had to go to their website to see what they do. Seems CAG bought out Biztrak which builds SAAS accounting and BI tools for SME's. Not a bad space to be in if the economy turns. Businesses cant as easily decide to cut back on their accounting software as easily as reducing headcount and other discretionary type costs such as travel etc.
From their website: Biztrak has performed with audited EBITDA of over $500K p/a for a number of consecutive years and Cape Range now holds 100% of the Company meaning its revenues and the existing customer base of 37,000 users from 18,000 SME’s in 18 countries.
BIZTRAK was founded in Malaysia in 1995 and is now an established and profitable software development company specialising in accounting and business intelligence software. Their software is used by over 18,000 SME’s in all types of industries, in 18 countires.
Biztrak developed their e-Bridge software solution to seamlessly integrate data from other systems and companies, in multiple countries and currencies, so they could integrate and centralise key business information in real time. e-Bridge complies with both Goods & Services Tax (GST) and Value-added Tax (VAT) regulations and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Using electronic data exchange to centralise all this information, provides management with an extremely valuable tool that greatly improves business intelligence to support their decision making.
Biztrak currently have over 37,000 users from SME’s across all industries including retail, trading, logistics, healthcare, e-commerce, manufacturing, financial sectors, and higher education.
Biztrak customers are mainly in Asia, with the majority of current customers located in Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore. Biztrak sees the Australian and New Zealand markets as the logical next stage for the growth of its business with the launch of its SaaS offering.

ASX / XJO Time Period ComparisonBit of nervousness around the market, but if you look at the longer term trend, if this was a stock and you were looking at a 1D type chart you would probably think now is a good time to buy as its at a support level representing value. Depends if it bounces off it over the next month, or breaks through it and keeps going down :)
$XJO ASX Looking Shaky.The S&P/ASX200 is an index that represents the 200 top stocks based on their weighted market capital in the Australian stock market "Australian Securities Exchange". The index represents 72% of the total market value of all the stocks traded in the Australian Securities Exchange. The trading hours for the ASX 200 index takes place from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Sydney time. This index was created back in 2000 and it started with a value of 3,133.3. The 2015 market capitalization of the index amounts to A$ 1.1 trillion, which sets it around the same market capitalization with some of the major indexes of Europe. The ASX200 is an indicator that gauges the performance of the Australian stock market and this indicator could be used as a guide by investors that want to understand how the biggest economy in Oceania is performing.
Dead cat bounce off support? Be interesting if it breaks down through that support area.

Its appeared on my screener for the last couple of days so I have been keeping an eye on it. Has some good volume coming through with RSI and ADX running the right way. Not sure it is liquid enough for me to trade so I dont have a position in it, but its in an interesting space leveraging a growth industry. Could be a grower.

ASX $NTU - Rare Earth Metals.Pretty weak day on the ASX today but NTU was showing some signs of strength.
I like the idea that its one of the few games in town in this space. If US and China trade sanctions kick in further then NTU might become a good alternative for those not wishing to deal with China.
I like that they are now a producer with exports as opposed to simply wandering the desert poking holes in the ground.
From Stockhead:
Earlier this week Northern Minerals announced it had produced the very first export quality rare earth product from the Browns Range project in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The company is the only ASX-listed heavy rare earths producer outside of China.
Rare earths — sometimes known as “magnet metals” — include minerals such as dysprosium, neodymium and praseodymium. They are lesser known compared to battery metals such as lithium and cobalt — but are attracting increased attention because of their use in electric car motors.
ASX $BBOZ $BBUS $BEAR - ETFs that short the ASX and US StocksI call this my PLAYSCHOOL strategy, because there is a bear in there...
Taking a complete punt on the ASX and US stocks continuing a bit of a downward run for a while so have taken a position on these ETFs that are a way of shorting the ASX and US markets without the complications. These work just like buying and selling normal shares.
From a user post on HotCopper
"BBOZ and BEAR are actually relatively simple strategies but as described above need to be carefully monitored as they do the opposite of what most investments do (i.e. they are specifically designed to go up when the market goes down). In order to achieve their investment strategies they essentially short SPI (ASX 200) futures, in the case of BEAR this is done on close to a 1:1 basis, in the case of BBOZ, this is done on a 2-3:1 basis.
I have used both funds extensively in my trading strategies to both hedge against or profit from market downturns. BBOZ requires far more careful monitoring due the leverage involved than BEAR but both do what they say. The BetaShares website shows you on a daily basis the "exposure" you should be expecting on the day vs. the ASX 200. e.g. at the time I write this BEAR is providing a -1.02x performance and BBOZ is providing a -2.17x exposure.
FYI, there is a similar product to BBOZ available for the US market, its called BBUS"
