Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) is widely recognized among experts as a well-managed company with strong fundamentals. Many reviews highlight its significant oil and gas reserves, consistent dividend increases, and ability to generate substantial free cash flow, particularly in high oil price environments. The company is noted for its stability, with a business model that allows it to perform well even when oil prices are low. While there is some caution regarding the cyclical nature of the energy sector and the current geopolitical factors influencing oil prices, experts generally view CNQ as a solid long-term investment. Some analysts suggest that caution is warranted in the short term given recent price fluctuations in oil and energy stocks overall, but the overall sentiment remains positive for long-term holders.

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.

COMMENT

One of the companies that will perform best amongst the producers. Getting their debt paid down.

COMMENT

Seasonality would have you buy around the end of February and hold until May. We are now getting close to the end. Technicals are still positive but we are getting close where you want to get out.

TOP PICK

Expects oil to close out the year at around $85-$86 and probably $90 at the end of 2011. This company is starting to break out technically. Because analysts are using $70-$75 oil, oil stocks have not moved up with a commodity.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 9/09. Up 16%.)

BUY

Feels oil is $75-$85 but could spike either above or below if something happens. Currently we are in the middle of the range. Their Horizons project keeps trucking in the oil sands and as it comes along, this stock looks cheap on a price to cash flow.

BUY

A must own stock. The big driver of this is Horizon, which will generate about $3 billion in free cash flow over the next 3 years.

TOP PICK

Probably one of the best managed oil/gas companies in Canada. Sorted out some of the production problems they had late 2010 on their Horizon project. Produced 72,000 barrels a day in January, up to 82,000 in February and looking for 100,000-105,000. Production goal is 110,000. Just raised their dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 12/09. Up 32.85%.) Still likes. One of his largest oil weightings. Good growth prospects.

BUY

Likes its position and its Horizon project. Has heavy oil and natural gas. Multiple is still relatively inexpensive. Balance sheet is in good shape.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 30/09. Up 31.22%.) Starting to break out of its range. Still a Hold.

BUY

All oils in Canada look fantastic. There has been a nice pullback as well as a good rotation out of natural materials into banks. His model price is $95.89, a 27.5% upside.

BUY

Oil leveraged and has been very successful in wrapping up their oil sands production on the Horizons project, which should provide future growth for them. 1st phase of 100,000 BOE's with a target of 500,000. Likes the long-term fundamentals. Recent News release indicating a stock split. 0.8% yield, which they have room to increase.

DON'T BUY

Gas focused so has languished a little. Probably has good value if gas recovers but he is concerned given the advent of shale gas and gas prices could stay low for a long time. His approach would be to buy the energy sector through an ETF.
