Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) has gained recognition among various experts for its robust management, consistent dividend increases, and strong operational performance in the oil and gas sector. Many reviewers endorse it as a well-managed company with a solid balance sheet and low-cost production capabilities, making it a reliable choice for both income and growth within a diversified portfolio. While some analysts express concerns about the volatility of oil prices and their potential impact on CNQ's stock performance in the short term, the general sentiment is that CNQ remains a leading player in Canadian energy with significant reserves and production growth potential. A few experts highlight that in the context of rising geopolitical tensions and supply chain issues, CNQ's operational strength positions it favorably for long-term investors, though they caution about potential short-term fluctuations. The consensus is largely optimistic about CNQ’s ability to weather market cycles due to its low debt levels and commitment to shareholder returns through dividends and buybacks.

HOLD
Good reputation, but also regarded as a trading stock. Quite volatile. Could be a reasonably good entry point.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 18/05. Down 3.7%.) Down because it made an acquisition making it a bit gassier and oil sands costs have created concerns. Still likes.
DON'T BUY
It is an interesting stock. It has fallen quite a bit. Other companies in this sector are also down. The stock is trading with the price of oil. Recommends not buying when the stock is heading down.
BUY
Keep an eye on long term for this stock, ( 5 year outlook) Reasonable entry point.
TOP PICK
Their construction costs are well in hand. Risks are minimal. The company is financially sound right now. He is looking for a re-entry point.
PAST TOP PICK
Stock is inexpensive, and he has choosen this for a top pick again.
HOLD
At this price and at this time of the season, it's a very weak period for the oil/gas sector. Made a very strategic acquisition. Expect they will do extremely well over the next period of time.
HOLD
Has had quite a setback recently and is getting down to a level where he thinks it is going to bounce. On a bounce, he would lighten up.
WAIT
At $55 oil, it is 4.4 X next year's cash flow but would like to see the price of oil stabilize before buying.
BUY
Bullish on commodities. This should be quite a good performer in the next year.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 20/05. Up 17%.) Has some great properties. There is some softness in its price as the market has doubts about its costs on their Horizon project.
BUY
A gassy play. Has some heavy oil exposure which sells at a discount, but feels that North American gas looks the best it has been.
HOLD
Premier company for oil in North America. Generate tons of free cash flow. Extremely well managed. A big company, so not a lot of growth.
HOLD
Good company and assets. A lot of these companies have been moving sideways. Costs have really got out of control. Not expecting a lot of these stocks to go roaring back to their old highs.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 18/05. Up 8.2%.) A huge oil sands project that comes on in 08. They are about 40% done and are ahead of budget.
