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.
The Tools You Need to Profit from the “Everything Rally”
In case you haven’t noticed, almost everything’s been on an upward tear: most stocks for sure, especially meme stocks and zombie stocks, cryptos, junk bonds… just about everything’s going up. It’s the “everything rally,” and it’s scary, because it doesn’t make a lot of sense to some investors. But for the “greed is good” crowd […]
These Are the Best EV Stocks to Buy Right Now
Markets were on an absolute tear yesterday, especially the Nasdaq Composite, which spiked 3.25% up from Wednesday’s close. While the 25-basis point hike we got from the FOMC was baked in, the real surprise was the lack of hawkishness in Jerome Powell’s remarks and commentary – even going so far as to talk about disinflation […]
What to Do When This Popular Indicator Starts to Flash
One of the most common questions I’m asked is: “Do I sell stocks or index ETFs when they’re technically ‘overbought?’” Now, technically, an “overbought” stock (or any tradeable instrument) has reached a point where it’s begun to get above measures that imply it’s gone up more, in relative terms, than it should have, whether that’s […]
What to Buy and Sell Going into a Bullish February
A wave of optimism pushed along by a higher-than-expected GDP report and a lower-than-expected number of initial jobless claims is sending markets well above the resistance level I was watching at 4000-4016. We could be seeing a lot of money coming in off the sidelines going into February, especially because we pretty much know what […]
How to Profit from the Fed’s February Rate Hike Right Now
Imagine for a moment how you’d trade, or make big buying and selling investment decisions, if you knew what the Fed’s FOMC rate moves were going to be before they actually announced them. If you’d known in June of last year that the Fed was going to push rates 75 basis points higher rather than […]
Claim Your Share of One of the Market’s Richest Upcoming Payouts
Over the past year, I’ve been a big proponent of Economics 101 when it comes to evaluating companies – an identifiable product or business model, solid balance sheets, strong revenues, and high profit margins. It’s a good foundation, but for income investors, there’s another important concern: the consistency of payouts and the availability of funds […]
Buy These Five Stocks Now… and Ditch These Five Losers
Markets have been trending downward again this week, after a sudden turnaround in sentiment from just two weeks ago. These shifts are happening because of competing narratives that are prominent in the media and are trapping big market-maker dealers in alternating waves of push-pull action. Trying to follow those storylines is a good way to […]
Trade These Three ETFs to Profit from the Markets’ Big Changes
I’ve been in the trading business for over 40 years, and I know what moves stocks and markets. And I’m telling you, it’s changed. The dynamic rocking of stocks and markets these days are driven by narratives. More precisely and more importantly, macro-narrative themes. That’s because macro-narrative themes lead to consensus trades. Those collective trades […]
This 7% Dividend Stock Just Blew Past Q4 2022 Projections – Buy It Now
The inflation rate in December 2022 fell to 6.5% on an annual basis. That’s down from 7.1% in November and a peak of 9.1% in June 2022, but it’s still very high. And with the Fed still sticking to their guns on keeping interest rates higher for longer, we know that we must continue to […]
Stocks Are Still Volatile – Check Out This Alternative for Lasting Returns
If you’ve seen the Total Wealth article from this week about Blackstone’s “bailout” from the University of California, you know that the real estate market is in real trouble. That’s a problem for investors who are concerned about the whiplash effect from volatility in traditional equities, which was a hallmark of last year and isn’t […]
