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.

BUY
In the middle of its trading range. In a somewhat positive up trend. This is a wait and see. It is on the radar. They are well regarded in the analyst community. Is going to go up $3 very quickly.
BUY
Plan to partner with the Alberta gov’t. It surprises him that Gov’ wants to get into that business. Well-managed company.
BUY
If you look at any oil stock of 5 or 10 years, you see we have just started a new cycle. You will be fine on this one. Volatility is going to be high. Canada has what the rest of the world needs.
WEAK BUY
They are coming closer to the end of their big cap x program and are buying back shares. Over the next 5 years they could become a reasonable dividend payer. It’s something to watch.
BUY
Valuation is good. Growth is good with the horizon project. Likes the sector and the positioning. At the low end of the trading range. Lower because of the Petro Can integration by Suncor.
TOP PICK
If you want an oil weighted portfolio, this would be a core holding. Incredible cash machine and solid growth. Will grow and have production of about 640,000 barrels per day. Should throw off about $3 billion in terms of cash flow over the next couple of years.
BUY
Has a model price of $52.21, a 50% upside.
BUY
The 2 for 1 split of the stocks makes it easier for smaller investors to buy. A diversified company with a long-term history, not just oil sands.
WAIT
Good name to own long-term, but he is a bit cautious on oil markets right now.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Tons of free cash flow.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 26/09. Up 37.24%.)
PARTIAL BUY
Doing a 2 for 1 stock split on May 21. Normally a positive move for 2-3 days after the split and then eventually, no impact. Positive in that retailer investors will be up to buy more readily. Good price to dip your toe in.
BUY
Talisman (TLM-T) and Canadian Natural Res (CNQ-T), both giant energy companies, are committing enormous resources to natural gas at a time when it seems to be in oversupply and very cheap. Obviously, what these companies see is that although natural gas is cheaper it now, it is the energy of the future.
COMMENT
Had anticipated the correction of 10%. Spinning off a lot of free cash flow now. Would be comfortable owning at this price provided there wasn't a further pullback in the market.
WAIT
Good solid company and oily rather than gassy. Oil is usually a good trade from February 25 until May 9. Expect this one will pull back a little bit more. Look for it to drop to $55. Oil tends to pick up in July, which might be a good time to pick it up.
