Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ) has garnered a mixed but generally favorable response from various experts in the energy sector. Many affirm its strong management and operational efficiency, alongside its consistent dividend growth, which has been maintained for over 25 years. Despite concerns regarding fluctuations in oil prices and geopolitical issues impacting energy markets, analysts highlight CNQ's resilience and stability, making it a preferred choice among oil and gas companies in Canada. There's a recurrent theme of cautious optimism, with several reviews indicating it as a long-term hold while suggesting that current valuations may limit short-term upside. The company's ability to generate cash flow even at lower oil prices and its focus on returning capital to shareholders have been positively noted, although there's also recognition of the potential volatility tied to oil market dynamics.

BUY

Re:options on this stock. Great company. One of the more volatile plays in the energy sector. Options on this one are very expensive relative to options in the energy sector. His play would be to buy the stock and sell covered call options against it. Good cash flow from this strategy.

BUY

Likes the gas area. Both CNQ (CNQ-T) and Encana (ECA-T) are outstanding companies. They both have quite a bit of gas perspective to them. Valuations on both are compelling at this time.

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.
