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.
HOOD to Fall After 24% Leap, And Earn Your 100% Gains with Today’s Play
Friday’s rally was a nice change after last week’s volatile trading. Stocks roared ahead during Friday’s session, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 jumping 3.39% and 2.29% in the first hour of trading. I’m happy to see it, but I don’t think it’s a sign that the markets are out of the woods. Inflation is […]
Come Out on Top of Bloody Battle for the Markets with Two New Picks
It’s a war out there, people. A bloody battle to keep the markets from going under. As I recorded today’s BS.H, the Dow and S&P 500 were down, the Nasdaq was flatlining, and stocks in almost every sector were under siege. It’s been ugly upon ugly upon ugly – which is why today’s Buy, Sell, […]
The ARKK of a Diver: The Rise and Fall of Cathie Wood and ARK Innovation ETF
Arc of a Diver, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Steve Winwood’s groundbreaking solo album, came on the heels of a series of successes that began when he, at age 15, joined the Spencer Davis Group. With Traffic (inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004) and Blind Faith, the 1969 supergroup Winwood formed with […]
Stand Firm as They Run: How to Profit Off Falling Markets
The whole stock market is falling. The Dow is down 12% off its highs in January, the S&P 500 is down 16%, and the Nasdaq, which once ruled the stock market, is down 26%.
It’s ugly out there, but I’m still playing the markets – and you should be, too.
Bull or bear market, there are plenty of ways to turn a profit in the stock market. While others, fearful of the downward trend, run for the hills, you can set in motion two profitable plays (one of which could yield a 100% gain). Just watch today’s Take It to the Bank Tuesday to learn more or go here to read my analysis.
Market Volatility is Your Next Chance at a 100% Profit
As I write this, 2022 is shaping up to be the year of volatility. While that may frighten timid investors, I see it as a huge opportunity. Thursday’s rout sent the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and DOW tumbling 4.99%, 3.56% and 3.12%, respectively – but it also sent the CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX) up as […]
Protect Your Money from the Fed’s BS with New Oil Plays
I hope you didn’t get suckered in by the Fed this week. Wednesday’s rally, which came just after the Fed announced a 50 basis point hike in the fed funds rate (instead of 75), wasn’t a sign to run back into the markets.
That was nothing but short covering. The markets are down again today and the trend is likely to continue downward until the Fed changes course. And it will.
Until then, we need to stick with what’s working, with the tried and true companies still making great earnings, to turn a profit – and I’ve got just the plays for you.

The Fed is Almost Always Wrong, and That Gives Us a New Opportunity
Every bond and stock investor knows at least one Wall Street saying regarding Fed policy moves. Some of them are: “Never fight the Fed,” “Follow the Fed,” and “Don’t fade the Fed.” They’re good advice, but only to a point. That point is usually where the Fed is wrong and has to turn tail, which […]
Oil Industry Doubled Its Profits, Now It’s Your Turn
The price of oil and gas is soaring once again. According to AAA, Americans pay around $4.20 per gallon at the pump. That’s not great for us, but oil and gas companies are breaking records. Some are reporting doubled (or, in Chevron’s case, quadrupled) earnings, and I think it’s time we get a share of […]
Invest in These Two Giants Before Fed Policy Triggers Rush into Big Tech
I think 2022 and early 2023 will be the year of big tech growth stocks.
You heard me right. I said “growth” stocks, not “value” stocks.
Since mid-2021, the market started pricing in higher interest rates. That impacted the valuation of tech companies based on discounted cash flow pricing models. And that, in turn, drove prices down on most tech growth stocks.
Now though, with the U.S. economy posting negative GDP last week, the Federal Reserve will have to tread very carefully regarding its interest rate policy.
If the Fed indicates any dovish change in its longer-term interest rate policy, we could see a huge rush of capital back into big tech growth stocks.
I don’t think the Fed will change its narrative anytime soon (for risk of losing credibility). Still, traders are going to see the same opportunity I’m seeing, and that’s going to cause small rallies as traders start to position themselves for the future in big tech companies like this one.
Read on to learn how you can position yourself for the future with two new trades.
Three Toxic Stocks to Sell ASAP
Every week, my inbox is flooded with questions, many of which can be summed up simply as, “Which of these stocks should I buy?” But, in times like these, I think the more important question to ask is, “Which stocks should I sell?” Making real money in volatile markets isn’t just a matter of buying […]
