Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ) has received mixed reviews from various experts. Many praise its strong management, stable cash flow, and consistent dividend growth, highlighting it as a reliable long-term investment in the energy sector. However, there are concerns regarding the cyclical nature of oil prices, with several analysts expressing caution about the long-term outlook for crude oil and suggesting potential headwinds from increased EV adoption and regulatory challenges. While short-term volatility is acknowledged, many experts believe CNQ's financial strength and diverse asset base position it well for the future. Overall, it is frequently noted as a solid choice for those looking to invest in the Canadian energy market, with a notable emphasis on the importance of oil price stability for CNQ's performance.

DON'T BUY
Would be on his list of potential purchases. Have done a fabulous job. Likes its oil sands involvement. Too expensive at 14 X earnings.
BUY
Has dropped from $75 to $58 and yet oil prices hit $71. At a fairly attractive price.
BUY
Good management team. A natural gas producer. Also have the ability to be an oil sands player in the next few years. A core holding.
BUY
Had some disappointing results because of their hedging. Also they didn't get as much drilling done as they expected.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 18/06. Up 9.) They watch their costs very closely. Have an interesting oil sands project Horizon.
BUY
A fabulous story. Great management.
HOLD
Great Canadian success story. Pure producer, so it's going to be volatile. Embarking on a pretty major oil sands expansion. Oil sands expansions tend to have a lot of cost overruns. There may be a better opportunity on any overrun announcements.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 11/05. Up 14%.) Feels there is further upside. 1/3 heavy oil, 1/3 natural gas and 1/3 light oil. Likes their Horizon heavy oil project.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 16/06. Up 5%.) Cheap and he likes the space and he likes the tar sands in particular. Would still buy.
BUY
Likes their mix of assets, their growth and their oil sands exposure. Good management.
BUY
On the verge of becoming an oil sands producer. Launching its $9.9 billion Horizon project. Development and construction plans are all on track. Well-managed.
BUY
Longer term, there is tremendous value in this stock. It is not expensive. There are substantial gains to be made from their Horizon project.
TOP PICK
The Horizon oil project is a $10 billion project expected to develop 230,000 barrels a day. The project is on time and on budget.
WEAK BUY
Canadian Natural Resources is a company that they have been following. They like the stock but it is very volatile. If you don't have any energy exposure it is a good time to get in. Reasonable time factor is needed for this stock. They own Suncor and like this stock because of its historical performance.
WEAK BUY
Nigeria, potential civil war in Iraq and attempts in Saudi Arabia are putting the price of oil up. He predicts oil won't hit a new high this year. In the last two years there are people that have made great money in oil. May be prudent to take some off the table. If you are just started out and you don't have any oil investments he advises looking at starting positions in a good company such as CNQ, Petro Canada, and Suncor.
