A short squeeze may be a risky maneuver but it can often lead to surprising results when some traders work in unison and drive the short sellers out of the market. That is what happened with the Houston Natural Resources Corporation (OTCMKTS:HNRC) yesterday as the stock ended up with gains of as much as 9.57% for the day.

It is a diversified energy company with varied operations and investments across the sector. Some of the companies in which the company has made investments include those in sectors as disparate as information technology, energy and healthcare.
Despite the short sellers in the stock, it should be noted that Houston Natural Resources Corporation may well be on the way up and the stock could continue on its upward journey. Back on August 31, the company announced that it expected its performance for the rest of the year to be strong.
