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.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 22/08. Down 24.73%.) One of the top names in the patch. Horizon project is now up and producing. International investors go to this name. Buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 13/08. Up 24.58%.) Successful in bringing their Horizon project online. A lot of gas exposure has been holding it back. Still a Buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 5/08. Down 12.3%.)

TOP PICK

Earnings come out in early August but would Buy some today and some afterwards. Did a good job at hedging some of their oil at higher prices. Their big growth vehicle is the Horizons project that is probably becoming one of the gold standards in the oil sands.

COMMENT

Very high quality name. Fantastic assets and management. If you are a trader, try to buy in the $50's and take profits in the $70's.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 21/08. Up 8.89%.) Premier Canadian oil/gas company. Their oil sands project Horizon is firing up and building towards 110,000 barrels by the end of 2010. Would add to this during the summer doldrums.

TOP PICK

Volatile security and you can buy the stock; sell it slightly out of the money call, which expires next January. Not looking for oil to surge but if it did this stock could go back over $70 again very easily. His downside breakeven is about $46 and he is comfortable with that price.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Oils are correcting right now. Large caps have led the way. This is one of the highest quality large oil production companies in Canada with the tremendous Horizon oil sands project. Looking for a 5%-10% pullback but likes the company longer term.

TOP PICK

Very leveraged to oil, especially in oil differentials, which have come down substantially. This company is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this. Can see growth of 100,000 barrels a day in the Horizon's project.

BUY

Horizon project is going through its initial stages of starting up. Will generate huge amounts of cash flow. About 1/3 gas, 1/3 heavy oil and 1/3 light oil. Well managed.

TOP PICK

Likes its exposure to the price of oil. The Horizon project is going and as it ramps up production this company has better volume growth than its peer group over the next year. Cheaper on a valuation perspective.

BUY

With their oil sands exposure this has good upside potential.

BUY

Great Canadian company. Pristine balance sheet. Great entry point.

WATCH

Getting close to a top. Energy sector tends to bottom right around the end of November each year and tends to peak right around the 1st and 2nd week in June. Sweet spot tends to be from mid-January until the end of May. Watch your technicals very carefully and if you see the “overbought” rolling over, that's a sign to take profits.

WAIT

Looking at this very closely. Had spectacular earnings. Horizon project has started. The next step, costs are going to be down 20%-30%. Going into a seasonally weak period for energy but thinks this could be quite interesting. Would be tempted to wait until the fall.
