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.

Suncor,SU

BUY

Fits into the category of a seasonal oil/gas play. Expects a relative out-performance curve in the next little while. This can include Nexen NXY-T) Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T) and Talisman (TLM-T). This one has risen because they have some oil sands assets.

BUY

Just reported and cash flow numbers was above expectation. Had slight cost overruns on the Horizon oil sands project, which starts producing mid-2008.

PAST TOP PICK

Still like it. Buy for new accounts. Are good at cost containment.

HOLD

Has some great visibility, particularly in 08 with Horizon. It's in development, but further along than some of the others. You are not getting a screaming discount.

PAST TOP PICK

A Top Pick Sept 26/06. Up 39%.) One of his favourite stocks in the oil patch. Still a Buy.

BUY

Their Horizon project in the oil sands is a model of how you should run an oil sands project. Have kept the costs down. Growing their gas assets quite nicely. Very well run.

TOP PICK

Have stated they will not have to build an upgrader. This is a huge expense savings.

TOP PICK

Really likes the oil/gas industry right now. Well-run. Oil sands project is coming in on time and under budget. Not expensive.

TOP PICK

Well diversified between natural gas and oil. The big driver is there oil sands project, Horizon, coming on in the late 2008. This will be a cash flow generating machine. They are well positioned on the natural gas side.

BUY

Trading at 4.7 X 2008 numbers. Good production growth. 1/3 gas, 1/3 light oil and 1/3 heavy oil. Well-run.

BUY

3 favourite gas stocks are CNQ (CNQ-T), Rider Resources (RRZ-T) and Vero (VRO-T). This one is the cheapest. Exposure to the oil sands is not being paid for. Current price to cash flow ratio is around 5.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Would prefer it in the low $60's.

TOP PICK

Great company and very well managed. Good assets. Have a play called Pelican Lake and using a special technique to pull the heavier oil. Also have Horizon project where costs have been kept reasonable. Relatively undervalued.

BUY

Sees higher highs in spite of the oil prices.

BUY

Very good company. When looking at oil companies, look for ones with long reserves and a safe country. Be prepared to hold for 3 to 5 years. It will stay at least where it is and probably will move up somewhat.
