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.

Shaky banks are being […]

How to Own This Vital Piece of AI’s Future (and Get Paid for It)
Even though inflation numbers are coming down, they’re still high and stubborn, which means the likeliest path forward is that the Fed will keep rates higher for longer.

Buy This Stock to Protect Investment Yields When Interest Rates Fall
Contrary to popular belief, the Federal Reserve isn’t done raising interest rates. Yes, the Fed raised rates last week – but here’s the interesting thing. PCE inflation numbers came out last week at 3% for June. That’s fine, but that’s only the headline number. The Fed focuses more on PCE Core numbers, which exclude volatile […]
Why Small Cap Stocks Are the Profit Rockets of the New Bull Market

And a better reason why small caps are now outperforming big caps and will continue to outshine them as markets plow higher.
