Shah Gilani
Wall Street superstar and former hedge fund manager Shah Gilani is the Chief Investment Strategist of Manward Press and at the helm of the Manward Money Report newsletter and the Launch Investor and Alpha Money Flow trading services. He’s a sought-after market commentator and has appeared on CNBC, Fox Business and Bloomberg TV. He’s also been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Washington Post, and he’s had columns published in Forbes.
In 1982, he launched his first hedge fund from his seat on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange. He worked in the pit as a market maker when options on the S&P 100 Index first began trading… and was part of a handful of traders who laid the technical groundwork for what would eventually become the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX). He also ran the futures and options division at the largest retail bank in Britain. Shah gained notoriety for calling the implosion of U.S. financial markets (all the way back in February 2008) AND the mega bull run that followed.
Now at the helm of Manward, Shah is focused tightly on one goal: To do his part to make subscribers wealthier, happier and more free.

A New Asset Class That Could Be 10X Bigger Than Crypto
The crypto market has an image problem. Because there are thousands of cryptos available… and most of them are not worth the ones and zeros they’re printed on… the crypto-curious have turned away from the sector.

Buy This, Not That: Betting Big on Blockchain
Bitcoin’s had a big year. It’s up 130% on the year… far outpacing the tech-heavy Nasdaq’s nearly 40% gain. But I’m far more interested in what powers Bitcoin… The blockchain.

It’s a short week… but some big stuff is happening in the markets. Here’s what I’ve got my eye on… and you should be watching it too. Nvidia (NVDA) reports earnings tomorrow after the close… and the market’s looking for a huge earnings beat. I’m talking close to 500% over last year. If we get […]
Tesla’s Fate Is Sealed
I’ll admit it. I’m a huge Elon Musk fan. He’s no Einstein, but a lot of people think he’s close. He’s no Nikola Tesla either. He’s smarter than the namesake he chose for his EV company. And when it comes to SpaceX, Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, it’s hard not to acknowledge he is defying […]
