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.

TOP PICK

One of the most successful companies year in year out. They have 100% interest in a new oil sands play (Horizon). Will start at 115,000 barrels a day and will grow to 230,000. 40 years reserve life with no exploration risks.

WEAK BUY

A good idea to take some money from conventional oil/gas and put it in the long life assets of oil sands. A little rich, but would consider buying at this price.

TOP PICK

Have the Horizon's oil sands project coming on in 2008. Likes the 46% of gas that they have. There has been a destruction of the gas supply from the south. The gas is also a nice hedge as you need gas to get the oil out of the oil sands. Also doing deep shore drilling off the Ivory Coast.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Right now this name is a little bit over done. For a 3/5 year outlook, it's an outstanding play. Has benefited from its association with the oil sands.

BUY

Expect the multiples to expand on most oil/gas companies. Good company. Price of oil will be higher.

HOLD

A very high quality oil/gas. The big question with oil/gas stocks here is they've had such a ramp, is it time to step in? Have taken some profits in this sector, but remain overweight. Can they manage the costs on their expansion? Good long term investment.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Has corrected back. If you are not a shareholder, give it a bit of time here to correct back a little more. Try to get it in the mid $40's. The Horizon project is a go.

TOP PICK

Good long term value. Really likes Horizon oil sands project. Down 12% in a week makes it attractive. There will be volatility. Reasonable cash flow multiple. Likes the growth.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 18/05. Up 63%.) In this area, he follows 3 very closely. CNQ (CNQ-T), Encana (ECA-T) and Talisman TLM-T). Talisman, CNQ and Encana are cheap to expensive in that order. Would want to see Encana come off 3/5%, but the other 2 are looking a bit toppy short term.

TOP PICK

Getting to be fully priced with the Horizon in there, but the cheapest company in the oil sands trading at 4 X cash flow. A balanced company with 1/3 heavy oil, 1/3 light, 1/3 natural gas, plus the Horizon asset.

DON'T BUY

Absolutely one of the best companies in the country. Getting fully valued now. There is still concern in these oil sands companies as to who is goiing to execute the plan with the costs going up so much. Can't see them messing up.

DON'T BUY

Formed a long base from '01 to '04 and that was the time you should have gotten in. Now into a spike and buying into a spike is not a good idea.

BUY

Pricing in $40/45US a barrel. Even though they've gone up a great deal, the oil price will be higher for longer. Buy on any pull back. $50/60US a barrel for the next few years is doable and the price of oil stocks do not reflect that.

BUY

There are other energy names he would go after first. When talking energy, you have to talk about the whole sector as it is really predominately based on the oil price and he feels it will go higher yet, although it may pull back a bit in the short term.

BUY

Feels we are in the sweet spot of a very strong rally in the energy market which could go on for some time. Very well situated with their position in Millenium and what they are doing offshore.
