Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ-T) is viewed positively by experts for its strong management, solid balance sheet, and ability to generate cash flow even at low oil prices. Many analysts praise CNQ's long-term operational efficiency, citing a robust dividend history and the promise of sustained cash returns to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. While some experts caution about the impact of fluctuating oil prices on the stock's performance, many believe it remains a core holding in energy portfolios due to its low-cost production and diversified asset base. The consensus suggests that while the oil market faces challenges, CNQ is well-positioned to weather these conditions and benefit from any eventual recovery in oil prices.

COMMENT
Well run high quality company and very successful in their Horizon project. Just announced CapX that is going up a couple of percents. Big inventory to drill of natural gas and crude and will focus on crude for the next couple of years.
PARTIAL SELL
Currently a favourite of the institutions. Getting into “window dressing” year-end and portfolio angers that don’t own it are probably going to want it. Might work a bit higher but buying will abate in the 1st week of January. If you own, reduce.
BUY
The environmental side tarnishes all the oil sands companies. They are doing a good job now in expressing their case. There will be technology that comes a long and fixes this problem. A great company. He owns the trust. There is nothing wrong with it. Excellent company.
BUY
Doesn’t own but if he were picking a new name, it would be this one. Refocusing on heavy oil. Likes the minimal stages they are taking to the Horizon expansion. Doing some interesting things in SAGD and polymer additions to enhance flow.
BUY
Oil sands companies have been under performers for the course of the year. This one is the best of the bunch. Have been very good on the operational side. Has a little growth.
TOP PICK
Balanced production very nicely among natural gas, traditional conventional oil and heavy oil and tend to move in the appropriate direction depending on commodity prices..
BUY
Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-t) or Suncor (SU-T)? Both are good but prefers CNQ because they have already come out with their capital budget, which is on the upside but Suncor has not. This is a fantastic company that is very concerned on return of capital.
BUY
If you want to buy something for a very long time, this is the one to own. Sees the company raising the dividend.
BUY
Likes it for the growth in the oil sands. Cheap compared to the rest of the group. CapX is in line with expectations.
HOLD
From a larger perspective there are 2 stocks, Suncor (SU-T) and this one, that you could own for a very long time but neither have delivered any significant returns this year. This would be his 1st choice of these two but there are better ones, such as Crescent Point (CPG-T) out there that gives a 7% yield while you are waiting.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Well managed oil/gas and it’s on her watch list. Very successful in operating their oil sands project Horizon. Wanting to Buy in the$35 level. Low yield.
COMMENT
Thinks oil will be staying at a higher price level for an extended period of time. Thinks stock will be range bound unless oil moves above $100 a barrel.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 11/09. Up 17%.)Great name. Their oil sands project Horizon is the catalyst for it. A cash flow machine.
COMMENT
Change to SAGD technology? They won’t change their existing processes as they have invested billions and it wouldn’t be worth their while. If oil got over $100, then this would be a possible method for surrounding areas.
