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.

Grab This Inflation Killer and Score an 11.9% Yield
Wednesday’s release of the Fed minutes made it pretty clear the central bank has no intention of pivoting until inflation is more under control, and recent inflation numbers show little change from what we’ve seen in the past few months.

This Stock’s 13% Dividend Is an Inflation-Killer
The August CPI numbers didn’t provide any real comfort as far as inflation is concerned, with headline inflation remaining above 8%, where it’s been for months now. Though fuel prices have fallen somewhat, shelter, food, and medical care indexes were through the roof last month. We’re paying over 13% more right now for groceries compared […]
