Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) is widely recognized among analysts as a well-managed oil and gas producer with a solid balance sheet and significant free cash flow potential. The company is seen as a stable long-term investment, benefitting from both oil and natural gas production. Many experts highlight CNQ's ability to manage costs effectively and its history of increasing dividends, with some noting their comfort with the stock even at lower oil prices. There is a consensus that the stock performs relatively well, but opinions on timing for entry are mixed, with some suggesting waiting for a pullback before investing. Notably, concerns about oil price volatility loom, and while many analysts are bullish on its long-term prospects, some advise caution in the current energy market climate.

BUY

Likes most, if not all, Canadian oil companies. Important to have a longer-term outlook and understanding of Canadian oil patch. Be aware of the geopolitical problems such as Pakistan and the Middle East. Canada is the only place with rich, political free oil.

BUY

A good 18-24 month hold. Has about 1/3 heavy oil, 1/3 light oil and 1/3 natural gas. The exciting thing about it is the new Horizon project, which is coming on slowly and ramping its way up to full production. Will throw out a lot of cash flow.

BUY

Everybody needs one predominantly natural gas producer and one predominantly oil producer and some play on the oil sands in their portfolio. Once you have this, he is not sure owning multiple names gets you very far. Good company and has low cost compared to the industry.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Likes the oil sands related names. This company has done a really good job in bringing their projects in on time.

BUY

Bonds are not a strong credit, but credit worthy. If you are doing corporate bonds, buy a number of them and spread your risk around.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute) You need improvement in gas prices.

TOP PICK

It does not matter too much what happens to the price of oil because of increasing oil production.

BUY

Doing well in horizons oil project.

DON'T BUY

Responded quickly when the industry started to deteriorate last year, but valuations are a bit rich. Prefers SU-T

HOLD

This is one she is looking and. Great earnings. Latest earnings report surprised the street. Have started the Horizon project and should be up to full capacity by year-end. Debt level is in a fairly comfortable position. Will be volatile with the price of oil but has a nice hedge position on the price of its production.

COMMENT

Thinks oil is likely to rebound to the $70 level in the next few months.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The reason for owning this is that you are now getting the Horizons oil sands project coming on stream. Over the next several years, this will add $3 to $4 cash flow to a $10 or $11 base of earnings. This makes it very attractive prospect. His Buy point would be $45.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Likes the outlook for oil. This will be one of the major players to own.

TOP PICK

One of the best managed Canadian oil companies. Recently completed their Horizon oil sands project. This couldn't be a better time to bring it on as oil prices recover from their low.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 1/08. Down 38.3%.) Thinks oil will go to $75 and expects an improvement in natural gas. Horizon project has just gone on and is ramping up to 100,000 barrels a day for this year giving it significant free cash flow. The only senior to have per share growth built into it this year.
