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.

DON'T BUY
Feels the energy stocks are spiking and are starting to decelerate.
TOP PICK
Well off its high. The overall context is rising oil/gas prices over the next 3/5 years. This and Talisman (TLM-T) are the 2 cheapest at 3.4 X this year's earnings assuming $53 oil this year and $55 next.
BUY
Q:CNQ (?) or Encana (ECA-T)? A: Hasn't done a net asset value study on either of them, so can't comment except that he feels you can't go wrong with either of them.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Had a 10% difference between the high and the low for the day which is ridiculous. Best to pick a price that you want and wait for that price. Don't chase it.
BUY
The oil sands has become much more of a focus area globally. Should do very well. Looking for 10% growth.
HOLD
Could come down another $2 before bottoming out. Had a spectacular run.
BUY
Lots of upside potential. Fair market value is well over $160. Technically the oil index has been acting quite well to boot. CNQ runs into some technical resistance at about the $74 level, so it has to clear that hurdle and then should move on to a fairly nice run after that.
TOP PICK
One of the cheapest in the world in terms of production along with Talisman (TLM-T) and Encana (ECA-T). Will continue to buy on any pull backs.
TOP PICK
A very well run company with a lot of opportunity for further growth. Still the cheapest on the large caps. At current levels, you're getting their Canadian oil sands project for free. Horizon has a lot of investment that has to come forward with 1st production in 2008.
WAIT
Would wait a little bit. They have some cost issues. They're cheap relative to their larger cap peers, but coming from the Horizon project, would wait a little further. Would prefer something like Devon (DVN-N).
WAIT
Would consider adding to their portfolio if they had any room for more energy stocks. Because of the season, would wait.
TOP PICK
Recent drop is an opportunity to buy. Still cheap. At an average of $45 for oil, they will cash flow $16.50 this year. Should trade around a 5 multiple. Historically it has been slightly over 5. Over high 4's gives $80. That doesn't include Horizon, their oil sands project which will be about $12 a share which you are getting for free right now.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Have done a fabulous job. They are replacing their declines which some of the big boys are not. Has had a great move from the $40's to almost $75. If it backed off below $60, and the S&P/TSX Capped Energy (TTEN-I) was at $210 it would be a fabulous buy.
BUY
His model price of $84 suggest even higher valuations to come. Have taken quite a bit off the table.
BUY
When a group becomes a leading group in a market, volatility will increase which means the risk level is going up. The recent pull-back is symptomatic of this and creates an opportunity to buy.
