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.

Here’s the Real Banking Crisis (It’s Just Getting Started)
Regulators are trying to calm depositors and bank equity investors, talking about potentially backstopping all uninsured depositors.

Why You Need to Buy the Dip on These Banks
When I went live this week, there was a potential deal on the table for some of the largest banks in the country to bail out First Republic Bank in an effort to stem the ongoing crisis that started with the SVB collapse. Now, that deal seems to have gone through, and First Republic is […]
What Really Happened to Silicon Valley Bank – and What It Means for You
Newsflash: Even if Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was stress-tested by the Fed, their problems would not have been unearthed, though they were more than understood by Goldman Sachs. SVB’s problems were, in fact, used by Goldman to “help” SVB, which immediately buried the bank and grossly enriched the great vampire squid. (It’s my analogy for […]

Anyone who is a crypto enthusiast – any winning investor in the space (and there are fewer of them every day), all the losers in the crypto game, and anybody who knows anything about cryptocurrencies – knows the come-on under the hype is that blockchain, the heart of all cryptos, is the real deal and […]
Collect Inflation-Crushing 10%+ Yields While This Stock Appreciates
Inflation just won’t come down, at least nowhere near the Federal Reserve’s 2% target rate – even after the Fed Funds Effective Rate has jumped from 0.08% in February 2022 to 4.57% in February 2023. That means a lot of investors are turning their attention back toward income investing as a way of making sure […]
Five Stocks You Need to Dump Right Now
Markets have been a mixed bag this week, in the usual “push me, pull you” action we’re familiar with by now. It’s a battle of the same warring narratives – how high will the Fed push rates, how long will they keep them there, will they overdo it and push us into a recession, ad […]
