Fund managers may come to realize this oils sands operator does not ship raw bitumen, but refined synthetic crude. They will buy in for the stability.

Well managed company, a great energy play. Looking for the energy markets to rebound and this stock will perform.

Oil, from a secure nation, with more pipeline capcacity being added every day.

As oil priced continue to rise, more companies will be in a profitable position to r&d oil sand extracting methods, this company has the benefit of "light" oil divisions to supply needed resources to finance r&d for heavy oil extraction.

There will always be a need for energy and cnq will provide. A good company , well managed. Excellent potentia l for future growth.

Decent (but not great) numbers all around. Fwd & trailing P/Es are 11.3 (good) & 44.7 (bad), respectively. PEG ratio is down to 1.2 (good). Profit & operating margins are 8% and 17.5%, respectively. RoA=3% while RoE=5%. Coming off a bad quarter where quarterly growth in revenue was -8.6% and earnings was -93.7%. EV-to-EBITDA is only 8.4, a number I'm hoping they'll be improving over the next year. Debt load is at $8.7B on a $46.5B market cap; not bad for a capital-driven oil & natural gas exploration company. Currently, the SlowStochs in CNQ's chart looks like a local minimum, so perhaps this is a good time to nibble. CNQ has had a rocky past, but I think/hope that oil exploration is about to take off again, given that oil is now at $101 per barrel. CNQ should benefit from that. The question is whether or not the management can convert that into a rising stock price. Thus, I'm setting a short watch (3 months) on this pick initially, and will re-evaluate after that time.

Energy.

As fiat currencies die, investors will begin to seek out commodity and energy companies because of their intrinsic value. The rising price of gold and silver over the last 10 years was not a fluke, it was the slow progressive death of all fiat currencies. Companies that don't produce real products (banks, other financial institutions) will see their businesses fail with the death of the central bankers. CNQ is a company that is well positioned to take advantage of this paradigm shift in the world financial markets. The change has already begun, with the next surge up in commodity prices what remains of the facade of a financial recovery will be revealed to be the renaissance of real money (gold and silver) and the commodities of daily living.

I think oil and gas still has room to rise for a few months or more. This pick looks good because it has a stockscouter rating of 9 and CAPS 5.

yes the tarsands will be developed profitably as the world desperately needs energy

Difficult segment of the market and trust can evaporate quickly. Only see limited growth

They've got a big hunk of the oil sands, and it looks like the litigious worries of the investors may be in the past. Might be high time to ride this big guy back to the top.
