Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Houston American Energy&#8217;s case, it is in the Energy sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Houston American Energy Announces $1.2M Registered Direct Offering Of 81,629 Shares Of Common Stock At $14.80 Per Share To Institutional Investor

Houston American Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUSA#NYSE">HUSA</a>) shares are trading higher by 58% to $23.76 Monday morning, driven by intensifying geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that threaten global oil supply routes.
What To Know: Monday&#8217;s rally follows a U.S. State Department worldwide security alert issued Sunday, urging heightened caution for Americans abroad amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/travel/25/06/46045416/us-issues-worldwide-caution-after-strikes-on-irans-nuclear-sites-state-department-warns-of-airspace-closures-travel-chaos-and-rising-threats-to-americans-abroad">escalating conflict</a> between Israel and Iran. Over the weekend, U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities heightened fears of broader regional destabilization.
Of particular concern to energy markets, Iran's parliament approved a measure allowing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46047021/iran-threatens-strait-of-hormuz-after-us-bombs-its-nuclear-sites-shipping-traffic-plunges">potential closure</a> of the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most vital oil shipping chokepoint, through which around 20% of global petroleum liquids transit. Although the move is symbolic for now, it underscores rising risks to global energy flows.

Houston American Energy, a small-cap independent oil and gas exploration company with interests in the Permian Basin and Colombia, is seen as a potential beneficiary of supply disruptions. Investor interest surged as crude oil prices climbed on fears of reduced exports from the Gulf region.
With airspace closures, consular evacuations and Iran's threats escalating, energy-focused investors are turning to smaller U.S.-based oil producers like HUSA as speculative plays in a volatile oil market driven by geopolitical uncertainty.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, HUSA has a 52-week high of $32.00 and a 52-week low of $3.85.

Why Sequans Communications Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 42%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, and President Donald Trump's renewed attacks on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, unsettled markets this week. The Federal Reserve held rates at 4.25-4.5%, cut its 2026 rate‑cut outlook, and signaled two cuts in 2025 amid growing inflation concerns. Trump called Powell "an American disgrace," renewing calls for outsized rate cuts.
Markets fluctuated on geopolitical and central‑bank uncertainty. Energy and defense stocks lagged, while treasury yields climbed modestly as investors weighed inflation risks. Renewables fell following proposed tax‑credit rollbacks.
Looking ahead, investors are watching Fed nominations — Trump hinted at replacing Powell — as well as developments in the Middle East and next week's economic data. Any signals on Fed independence or geopolitical escalation could significantly sway sentiment.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

12 Energy Stocks Moving In Tuesday's After-Market Session

Houston American Energy shares are trading higher. Volatility may be due to a surge in energy stocks amid rising oil prices.

Houston American Energy Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 110.8%

Houston American Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUSA#NYSE">HUSA</a>) shares are trading sharply higher Tuesday morning, climbing over 85% to $19.70. Strength comes amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45968002/trump-says-israel-iran-ceasefire-not-on-the-table-left-g7-early-for-a-much-bigger-reason-spy-qqq-dip-in-premarket-oil-climbs">cryptic statements</a> from President Donald Trump regarding his abrupt departure from the G7 Summit.
What To Know: Trump refuted French President Emmanuel Macron&#8217;s assertion that he left to negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, instead hinting at a &#8220;much bigger&#8221; reason for his return to Washington. 
This comment, coupled with his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45968002/trump-says-israel-iran-ceasefire-not-on-the-table-left-g7-early-for-a-much-bigger-reason-spy-qqq-dip-in-premarket-oil-climbs">earlier call</a> for Tehran citizens to evacuate, has fueled speculation of potential U.S. involvement in the now five-day-old conflict between Israel and Iran.

The heightened geopolitical risk, particularly concerning oil-rich regions, often benefits energy companies. HUSA, an oil and gas exploration and production company, appears to be a direct beneficiary of this uncertainty, as investors flock to energy stocks amid fears of disrupted global oil supply. 
The company recently acknowledged unusual trading activity in its stock but stated there were no undisclosed material developments in its business to account for the surge, suggesting the move is largely market-driven by external events.
What Else: HUSA stock was halted for volatility Tuesday morning at 11:03am EDT, with shares resuming trade shortly thereafter. HUSA&#8217;s session volume stands at 9.888 million shares midday, easily surpassing its 100-day average volume of 642,127 shares.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy HUSA Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Houston American Energy&#8217;s case, it is in the Energy sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
