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.

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.

BUY

The stock pulled back to its 200 day moving average in October which was an ideal buying opportunity. It could develop a little bit of a bounce because of profit takers. Looking fgor all the oil stocks to be significantly higher.

TOP PICK

Likes their Horizon oil sands project which is 14% complete through phase one. At these prices, they are adding huge amounts of excess cash flow which is a potential for an increased dividend. As their oil sands production comes on, this could be a double.

TOP PICK

US has had a major shift in their focus of finding new energy which includes Canada, the Ivory Coast and the North Sea. This company is situated well in these spaces.

DON'T BUY

The long-term chart looks like a typical spike. The last spike did not make a new high. It is hard to believe that this would rally and make a new high.

BUY

Top quality company. You have to extrapolate that the oil price will stay in this range, which he does.

DON'T BUY

If yyou're bullish on oil going forward, it's a good place to be. Good company, good operator. Have huge projeccts ion front of them for at least the next 10 years. Trading more expensively than its peers. Would like it at the $47 level.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 17/05. Up 3.5%.) Very prolific gas explorers in northern B.C. and north western Alberta. Also have offshore Africa as well as a cash cow in the North Sea. Likes the Horizons oil project in the oil sands. Even if they go at this project on their own, it'll throw off enough cash that they'll be debt free by 2008. Worth $80/90.

WEAK BUY

If you presume $50/70 a barrel on oil, the oil sands project looks extremely profitable. The stock has had a good move. A levered play on the commodity. Wouldn't be his first choice in the sector.

BUY

A great name. Oil sands should be a core part of your energy portfolio.

TOP PICK

Recently announced they are going to develop 500,000 barrels a day of oil sands through mining and upgrading. Have an enormous amount of reserves that are not producing. Long life reserves.

WEAK BUY

In the event that petroleum prices decline, this type of stock will go down faster than an integrated. If you are a bull on oil prices, then this would be good. He prefers PetroCanada (PCA-T).

TOP PICK

Has one of the best futures in the larger caps. Highly liquid. 1/3 heavy oil, 1/3 gas and 1/3 light oil. Have a very exciting bituman process in front of them in the Horizon project. Well run. There could be a further sell off in the market, so buy some now and add further later on.

BUY

Great Canadian company. Will be very volatile at this point. Well positioned and she likes its heavy oil exposure. Likes its ability to take assets that no one else wants and develop them into very productive returns for shareholders.
