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.

How to Profit on a “Bankruptcy Wave” Hitting Markets Hard
Just last week, ATM maker Diebold Nixdorf, Inc. (DBD) filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing more than $2.66 billion in debt and inadequate cash flow to make any further interest payments on its loans and bonds.

Here’s What to Do When the Stock Market’s A.I. Hype Fades Out

The Best Way to Play the Tech Stock Boom
There’s a saying among traders: “The trend is your friend.” Anyone watching trends right now can’t help but notice the meteoric rise of Nvidia Corporation (NVDA), still making gains from last week after an earnings report that soared past expectations.

The Five Things You Need to Know Before Buying Any Stock
Being in the trading and investing business for over forty years – as a market-maker, a mega-bank derivative hedging and trading specialist, and a hedge fund manager – has taught me a few things about buying stocks, too many to even list on all the pages of a legal pad. But there are really only […]
How to Trade Nvidia and Other Headline-Making Stocks
Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) was at the forefront of a surge in the NASDAQ Composite index, thanks to an earnings report that blasted past analyst expectations and revealed Nvidia to be one of the primary beneficiaries of increasing demand for AI technology.

Buy This Stock at a Huge Discount Before It Rebounds
Inevitably, if a company or business is around for long enough, it’s going to go through a rough period – a bad quarter or a bad year, negative earnings growth or profit loss, etc. – which will affect the price of the stock. Sometimes that rough patch becomes a trend, and signals a permanent shift […]
Do This Now to Profit from Strong Tailwinds for Small-Cap Stocks
Friday’s surprise walkout by Republican debt-ceiling negotiators came as a bit of a surprise to investors and we saw stocks sell off at the end of the week. I say “a bit of a surprise” because no one really thought we’d get to the finish line without at least a little bit of theatrics along […]
The Market’s on a Knife’s Edge – Here’s How to Make Money No Matter Which Way It Goes
The stock market (meaning the institutional benchmark index of the market, the S&P 500) broke out of its boring sideways trading range yesterday, but there weren’t a lot of champagne corks popping. Maybe that’s because traders and investors are afraid the long-awaited breakout is another fake-out. The S&P 500 has been trading sideways since April, […]
The Best Retail Stocks to Buy (and to Avoid) Right Now
It can be difficult to know what to do any time the market is mostly going sideways like it is right now, but the retail space is even more confusing than usual at the moment. Retail sector numbers are out this week, and they’re a bit… contradictory. Sales are overall up by .4% over the […]
