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.
This Inflation-Beating BDC Is Rocking Double-Digit Yields
Over the past two months, I’ve covered several of my favorite inflation-beating investment ideas, everything from floating rate investments to master limited partnerships (MLPs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs). Today I want to bring our focus back to business development companies, also known as BDCs for short. A business development company is an organization […]
What the “Fear Index” Is Telling You to Do Now
The often referenced and too often misunderstood measure of the stock market’s volatility, the CBOE Volatility Index (ticker symbol “VIX”), is important because it tells you something about traders’ and investors’ psychology – mostly how afraid they are. That’s why the VIX is also known as the fear index. The VIX is calculated from prices […]
The Easiest Way to Beat Inflation Right Now
Last week, stocks broke a three-week losing streak, with the S&P 500 closing the week at 4067.36. Frankly, I’m happy for last week’s rally, but it came after significant volatility that rocked everyone’s portfolios through the summer. Case in point, June saw the market (as represented by the S&P 500) drop as much as 12.94% […]
The Scary Stock Market Volatility Accelerator You’ve Never Heard Of – Until Now
Some of the crazy volatility we see in the stock market happens because stocks and the stock market are now derivatives of a derivatives market; and no, I didn’t get that backwards. Most people have no idea this has happened, happens, will happen again and again, or how it happens, what it does to market […]
How to Profit as Rental Demand Soars
Up until last week’s Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, it was pretty clear that the majority of investors had convinced themselves that the FED was going to start scaling back the increases in its interest rate policy. And then, in less than 10 minutes, Jerome Powell, the Chair of the Federal Reserve, set the record straight. […]
Score Triple-Digit Gains While the Fed Tightens Its Belt
While Wall Street, investors, the media, and the public are hyper-focused on the Federal Reserve’s rate hiking policy path, the same trap door markets fell through in 2018 is about to open wide, and nobody’s talking about it. The trap door is the Fed’s quantitative tightening (QT) plan, the opposite of its bull market friendly […]
Today’s Action: Use HYG to Profit Off “Junk Debt”
There’s only one word that investors need to be focusing on right now: inflation. As long as inflation is higher than the Federal Reserve is comfortable with, the Fed will be inclined to raise interest rates to tame inflation. Higher rates effect consumer credit card spending, the US housing market, and more importantly for us, […]
Use HOOD and COIN to Turn Crypto-Crime into Triple-Digit Gains
I’m sick of cryptocurrency shills. Everyone from Sam Bankman-Fried, the Winklevoss twins, and Mark Cuban to losers like Voyager Digital and Terraform Labs – I am sick of them all for misleading investors into believing fortunes can be made in tokens when they know the space is a sewer of criminal intent. How else do […]
If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Buy ‘Em – Today’s Best Commodity Investment
At this point, we’ve all been feeling the impact of inflation, especially here in the United States where headline inflation has been above 8% for the last five consecutive months. All that inflation is eating away at the purchasing power of savings and underperforming investments, which is why it’s more important than ever to find […]
Today’s Action: Buy the Message but Short the Messenger
Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD) deserves national recognition – or, even better, a global shout out – for democratizing finance for all, which is their mission statement and the kind of messaging I’m 100% behind. HOOD (and all that stimulus money from 2020) created the dawn of a new era in which retail traders, regular everyday […]
