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.
The Five Things You Need to Know Before Buying Any Stock

How to Trade Nvidia and Other Headline-Making Stocks
Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) was at the forefront of a surge in the NASDAQ Composite index, thanks to an earnings report that blasted past analyst expectations and revealed Nvidia to be one of the primary beneficiaries of increasing demand for AI technology.

Buy This Stock at a Huge Discount Before It Rebounds
Inevitably, if a company or business is around for long enough, it’s going to go through a rough period – a bad quarter or a bad year, negative earnings growth or profit loss, etc. – which will affect the price of the stock. Sometimes that rough patch becomes a trend, and signals a permanent shift […]
Do This Now to Profit from Strong Tailwinds for Small-Cap Stocks
Friday’s surprise walkout by Republican debt-ceiling negotiators came as a bit of a surprise to investors and we saw stocks sell off at the end of the week. I say “a bit of a surprise” because no one really thought we’d get to the finish line without at least a little bit of theatrics along […]
The Market’s on a Knife’s Edge – Here’s How to Make Money No Matter Which Way It Goes
The stock market (meaning the institutional benchmark index of the market, the S&P 500) broke out of its boring sideways trading range yesterday, but there weren’t a lot of champagne corks popping. Maybe that’s because traders and investors are afraid the long-awaited breakout is another fake-out. The S&P 500 has been trading sideways since April, […]
The Best Retail Stocks to Buy (and to Avoid) Right Now
It can be difficult to know what to do any time the market is mostly going sideways like it is right now, but the retail space is even more confusing than usual at the moment. Retail sector numbers are out this week, and they’re a bit… contradictory. Sales are overall up by .4% over the […]
Soaring Profits and High Dividends Make This Energy Stock a Must-Buy
Anyone who’s been following me for a while knows that I’m hot on traditional energy, both as a trading vehicle and an investing staple. Rising demand coupled with rapid shifts in global supply have created amazing opportunities in this space, and we’re decades away from the renewable future. That means for now, oil and gas […]
Get in Quick on This Easy Gold Play with Triple-Digit Profit Potential
Long-term interest in gold has come out of the shadows, and the luster and allure are obvious with a move towards de-dollarization spreading around the globe. But that’s just part of what’s driving gold higher. If politicians in Washington do allow (or even seriously talk about) the U.S. Government defaulting on its debt, gold and […]
China is Leading the Charge Against the U.S. Dollar – Here’s What You Need to Do
Yesterday I wrote about the reasons behind the trend toward de-dollarization and how that should impact your investing strategy overall, so you’re prepared for the worst when it comes. But what about now? What immediate actions are countries taking to weaken the dollar, who is most active in the push to dethrone it, and what’s […]
This Simple Strategy Is the Key to Surviving a Post-Dollar World
As I wrote two weeks ago, there are a few key reasons why the U.S. Dollar (USD) is the undisputed and only reserve currency in the world. In 1944, the Bretton Woods Agreement pegged the USD directly to gold. The dollar has been widely considered a store of value on account of America’s huge tax […]
