The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that in this challenging stockpicker's market, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce market technician Sid Mokhtari helps investors identify stocks with strong technical and quantitative characteristics that may lead to portfolio outperformance. The Globe's Jennifer Dowty writes that Mr. Mokhtari publishes a monthly report with his top 10 stock ideas. Mr. Mokhtari screens and selects stocks from the largest 100 members by market capitalization within the S&P/TSX Composite Index. His technically driven stock recommendations have consistently outperformed the broader index across a wide range of market conditions. For September, his diversified basket of stock selections includes 10 new stocks. His portfolio is tilted toward commodities with 30 per cent exposure to the energy sector and a 30 per cent weighing in the materials sector. In energy, he added Cenovus Energy, Kelt Exploration and Whitecap Resources. In materials, G Mining Venture, Methanex and Teck Resources were added. The portfolio holds two technology stocks: Constellation Software and Shopify. In financials, Brookfield Asset Management made the list. In industrials, GFL Environmental was included.
