Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ) is viewed positively by most experts, recognized for its strong management team and consistent performance amidst fluctuating oil prices. The company benefits from both oil and natural gas production, positioning itself as a resilient player in the energy sector. Many reviews highlight CNQ's robust financial health, including a well-structured balance sheet and substantial cash flow, which supports ongoing dividend payments and share buybacks. Although some analysts express caution, recommending to take profits or wait for better entry points, there’s a general consensus that CNQ can sustain profitability even when oil prices decline significantly. Additionally, its historical performance of returning capital to shareholders through dividends makes it a solid choice for long-term investors.

Likes their involvement in the tar sands and feels there is $20/30 of hidden value in its Horizon project.

Broadly diversified geographically. Very good at maintaining its costs. Trades in and around its peer group average. Still sees some upside.
HOLD
This is now being more looked at on the oil sands and US investors are getting more interested.
TOP PICK
Last year's earnings were up 40%. Cash flow was up 33%. Looking for a 10% volume growth this year which will mean another 20% growth in cash flow. This stock gives you 100% of a brand-new plant in the oil sands to be constructed this year.

An incredibly well run company. If you have a long term view on oil, it's a great stock to own. Incredible managment.
TOP PICK
Good liquidity. Well managed. Their watch their costs very closely. Has a number of exciting projects in front of it. Likes their Horizon project. Well diversified.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 15/05. Up 14%.) Very cheap statistically. Cash flow this year is projected to be close to $12 rising to $15 next year because of a reduction in hedges. A great way to play the oil sands.
BUY
Quality company. You have oil, gas and oil sands. They have the Horizon project in the oil sands and will be spending a large amount of money over the next several years which should produce a large amount of oil. A good company for the long-term.
HOLD
If you have a lot of this, he would recommend that you sell some and hold some. Should go higher, but is concerned that something could go wrong with the sector.
BUY
A good company, but thinks that Talisman (TLM-T) is a better value.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 18/05. Up 10%.) Likes the commodity. Oil sands is not represented in its price.
WAIT
Quite cheap on a multiple basis. There is enough volatility in the oil price and the stock price that if you want to own it longer-term you can wait for the mid-$50’s. You definitely want to own it longer-term.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 4/05. Up 24%.) He is using a 2 to 3 year view on his Top Picks and in the short term, this one is probably fully priced. Wait for a pullback.
TOP PICK
Have some interesting projects in front of them. About 81% of assets are in Canada. Likes their heavy oil project, Horizon, which is at phase 1 and is about 16% complete and is expected to start production in 2008. The economics of it looks excellent. Strong management group.
TOP PICK
Management has been very capable in managing casts and consolidating small properties into profitable bigger companies. Likes their Horizon project in the oil sands and the stock could be $80 when this is complete.
