Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) is regarded as one of the best-managed companies in the Canadian energy sector, known for its disciplined management, diverse asset base, and consistent returns to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. Many analysts highlight its strong cash flow generation capability, allowing it to be profitable even when oil prices dip to as low as $40-$50 per barrel. While the overall sentiment about the long-term price of oil remains bearish, with predictions suggesting lower prices in the coming years, experts agree that CNQ's operational efficiencies and low-cost production give it a competitive edge. Despite short-term price volatility linked to fluctuating oil prices, the consensus is that CNQ remains a solid investment for long-term holders, albeit with caution regarding entry points. The stock is well-positioned to weather market cycles, but timing purchases based on oil price movements is recommended.

BUY

None of the Canadian oil companies moved higher recently. Likes this name. Not getting credit for its Horizons oil sands. Cheaper than others.

BUY

Could be debt free in 3 or 4 years. Could have share buy backs or dividends or all of the above. Sold it because he wanted a pure oil play.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 26/09. Up 30.51%.) Still a Buy.

BUY

Probably his favourite oil/gas holding. Likes their diversity with their oil sands play as well as natural gas. One of the best managed companies in Canada.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 30/09. Up 15.05%.) Still a buy.

BUY

Not looking for as big a year as it had last year. Expect oil will go back over $80 a barrel. Will be a steady performer. We'll be happy to get it up to $80 range.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Feb 10/09, Up 58%) Throws off a huge amount of cash. Core heavy oil business, oil sands and natural gas. They have tones of shale they aren’t telling anyone about. It’s a good management team.

HOLD

A little expensive versus some of the others but a great company with great management. Good mix of oil sands and gas.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 10/09. Up 63.37%.)

TOP PICK

Steam assisted gravity drainage potential could substantially increase their production. 40 to 50 year reserve life with no declines.

COMMENT

A lot of companies trade off the commodity and oil prices have dropped closer to $70, which is why the stock has dropped. Not a lot of sector rotation right now but when it happens this is the one that institutions will go for.

BUY

Price of oil in short term is very different from price in the long term. Demand is soft. Good opportunity to buy CNQ. Could fall to $62 (200 day moving average).

STRONG BUY

The Horizon project is now on and this is one of the better oil sands projects. Also have other production growth. Valuation is cheap. A major player on the global scale.

BUY

Likes this company and the entire sector even if oil doesn't go up a great deal from here. This one is 2/3 oil and 1/3 natural gas.

STRONG BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Tremendous cash flow going forward. At $80, oil is pretty well fully priced but if it goes up this will follow.
