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.
Soaring Profits and High Dividends Make This Energy Stock a Must-Buy
Anyone who’s been following me for a while knows that I’m hot on traditional energy, both as a trading vehicle and an investing staple.

Get in Quick on This Easy Gold Play with Triple-Digit Profit Potential
Long-term interest in gold has come out of the shadows, and the luster and allure are obvious with a move towards de-dollarization spreading around the globe.

China is Leading the Charge Against the U.S. Dollar – Here’s What You Need to Do
Yesterday I wrote about the reasons behind the trend toward de-dollarization and how that should impact your investing strategy overall, so you’re prepared for the worst when it comes. But what about now? What immediate actions are countries taking to weaken the dollar, who is most active in the push to dethrone it, and what’s […]
This Simple Strategy Is the Key to Surviving a Post-Dollar World
As I wrote two weeks ago, there are a few key reasons why the U.S. Dollar (USD) is the undisputed and only reserve currency in the world. In 1944, the Bretton Woods Agreement pegged the USD directly to gold. The dollar has been widely considered a store of value on account of America’s huge tax […]
This Stock’s Reversal Gives Us an Opportunity for a Quick Profit Pop
Today, I want to talk about something traders refer to as “filling the gap.” “Gaps” in a stock’s chart occur when the price of the asset moves suddenly up or down, usually in response to news outside of market hours. In many cases these gaps don’t last. Instead, they’re “filled” when share prices move back […]
How to Profit as Countries Gang Up on the U.S. Dollar
With the U.S. debt ceiling once again in headlines, and concerns over America’s dominance over the global financial system, many nations are looking for alternatives to the U.S. Dollar (USD) to reduce their dependence on the United States. That has me spending a lot of time watching companies that can profit from the trend away […]
Your Post-Fed Survival Guide – Everything You Need to Know
Bottom line: I think the market is headed for a lot of pain. We got the 25 basis point hike I was expecting. But we also got something along with it that institutional investors definitely did not want to hear, which is a direct statement from Jerome Powell that the Federal Reserve is not considering […]
This One Ticker Will Tell You When the Banking Crisis Is Really Over
The Fed is expected to raise interest rates another 25 basis points, and analysts expect they’ll pause for a while after that. I’m also pretty confident that’s the case, but I’m not taking it as the stellar news for the market that many media outlets are, because things are complicated out there. Case in point: […]

Grab a Quick Profit off the Fed’s Last Rate Hike – Here’s How
With the Federal Reserve likely to announce its final rate hike later this week, bond trading volatility will likely subside, and trading will increase. That will make it easier to trade fixed-income spreads and easier to trade the yield curves. That increased bond trading will be good for MarketAxess Holdings Inc. (MKTX), which operates an […]
