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.
Use the Corruption at Credit Suisse to Your Advantage with This Speculative Play
Let me be frank, I think Swiss banks are among the most corrupt banks in the world. Credit Suisse (CS), for example, is a mess of a bank that could be out $9 billion due to a lawsuit and saw substantial premarket losses this week (around 3.8% before the markets opened on May 31). Yet, […]
Looking for an Investable Market Bottom? Check This Out
The bear market boundary has been breached. With the Nasdaq Composite, the Nasdaq 100, the Russell 2000, and the S&P 500 (based on its May 20, 2022 intraday lows) are all 20% off their most recent all-time highs, many of you came to me with questions. How low could we go? When will we reach […]
How to Play Oil’s Ascent to $150 per Barrel
Don’t trust the bounce. Yes, the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrials, and Nasdaq Composite are all on the rise, seeing nice gains over the last week. The battered Nasdaq is leading the charge with a 5.55% jump since May 24, and some are seeing it as a sign to relax – but not me. The […]
Two Trades to Buy When S&P 500 Pulls Back
After seven consecutive down weeks for the S&P 500, it was no surprise that we finally saw some signs of buying in last week’s trading. There was a lot of pent-up demand coming into last week, which helped drive prices higher, but I think some of the big moves we saw last week could give […]
How to Handle Tesla’s “Death Cross”
Tesla stock losses topped $575 billion this Tuesday and investor patience is wearing thin. That’s a near 50% drop since last November when stock values peaked at over $1 trillion. Sorry to the Tesla fans out there, but this isn’t a sign to buy in. This isn’t a quality stock on sale. It is a […]
How to Own a $400,000 Stock on a Budget Using Fractional Shares
Crazy market out there, but this volatility shouldn’t have you heading for the hills. There are still plenty of ways to take new profits to the bank. The key is finding stocks that will rise above the rest. And one way is to seek out giants just like the one I am recommending in today’s […]
The Most Important Trends in Investing Today – and How to Play Them
With the spotlight on retail earnings and the subsequent fallout of earnings disappointment, it’s easy to forget what more important trends are driving trader and investor sentiments – the kind of trends that highlight how you can still pull in a profit. Don’t let the clobbering that stocks like Target Corporation (TGT) and Ross Stores […]
The Market’s Seven Week Spiral Downward Means One Thing – Sell Now
This week’s Buy, Sell, or Hold is special one because the markets are acting crazy – and not in a good way. After Tuesday’s dead cat bounce where the S&P 500 saw a nice 2% bump and the Nasdaq jumped nearly 3%, it all came tumbling back to earth, revealing the ugly truth: the markets […]
Market Noise Is Hiding Big Profit Opportunities
Inflation, the Fed raising rates, market volatility, the decline of big tech stocks, and earnings prospects… It’s all noise – a cacophony deafening the markets and obscuring opportunities. Narratives, stories, explanations, and analyses based on interpretations of headlines and economic and market data points, are chock full of noise. That’s because there are at least […]
The Fertilizer Company Pushing Back Against the Grain Crisis
We are in the middle of what some are calling a “grain crisis.” Staple crops like corn and wheat, if farmers can plant them at all, are struggling under severe weather conditions. Canada’s “Corn Belt,” for example, is experiencing an unseasonably hot and dry spring with temperatures reaching 90 degrees Fahrenheit for days on end, […]
