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.
Europe’s Breadbasket Under Siege, Grab Commodities While You Still Can
Here in the US, when we hear “breadbasket” we usually think of the Midwest. Ohio, Kansas, Illinois… When Europeans hear the phrase, they think of Ukraine – and for good reason. The country distributes 12% of global wheat exports, 16% of corn, and 18% of barley. Ukrainian agriculture is a pillar of grain production for […]
Two Stocks to be Bargain-Hunting Favorites
As I mentioned during last week’s State of the Markets (which you can watch here, if you’d like to catch up), things are looking grim but don’t sell yet.
Upset Markets Carve Out New Opportunities and Defensive Plays
There’s no reason to beat around the bush this week.
I’ve cancelled our regular Buy, Sell, or Hold this week to address what is on everyone’s’ minds this week: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the dramatic selloff that followed, and what can be done about it.

The Real Estate Bubble That Isn’t – And How to Invest in It
Headlines about the residential real estate bubble popping any day now are nothing but fake news.
Just because prices of homes have skyrocketed doesn’t mean they’re coming down as they did in 2008, a true real estate crash. Home prices aren’t coming down; they’re going higher.
And there’s nothing “bubbleicious” about it.
In today’s Total Wealth, I’m exploringwhy the feared residential real estate “bubble” isn’t a bubble -and how you can ride the long-term appreciation potential of the boom by investing in it.
This Here Isn’t a Housing Bubble… It’s an Opportunity
Housing is hot.
The entire industry is booming, with demand for houses high and the prices of those houses even higher. The median value of a house in the United States right now is 20% higher than it was last year as high demand bids up prices.
And, according to some, this wild price growth (and dwindling affordability) can’t last. The boom has become a bubble, and something has got to give.
The Real Winner in the Fight Against Food Inflation is this Retail Giant
Food inflation is hitting the United States hard. Recent metrics show that food prices are 7.4% higher than they were this time last year, and it shows no sign of slowing.
Yet, rising prices haven’t changed buying habits. And it’s not because consumers don’t know what’s happening.
According to in-house studies performed by Walmart Inc (WMT), customers are fully aware of rising prices and inflation – they see it all around them, in stores and on the news – but they aren’t buying smaller packages or downgrading to store-brand products.
Hold onto Facebook – Meta Platforms to Bounce Back
This may not be something you expected to hear me say in a Buy, Sell, or Hold – but you need to hold onto Meta Platforms Inc (FB).
Yes, its stock values are dropping and other investors are pulling out for fear of it dropping even lower. But here’s the thing, we’re coming up on what could be an incredible buying opportunity that would get you in on a trend-setting tech company has it climbs back up through the stock market.
In today’s video, I tell you what to expect out of FB in the future and how to play two other stocks that are screaming buys in the here and now.
Hedge Your Bets as Investors Turn Bearish
The markets have bounced back once again, but we’re not out of the woods yet.
Since their latest highs, the DOW, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite have all dipped into correction territory – only to bounce back. But their bounces haven’t cleared enough hurdles to signal a resumption of the bull market.
In fact, the numbers and narratives investors hung their hats and hopes on are anything but positive. The stage is set for a quick and ugly selloff that could take markets even lower, but there’s a way to protect yourself.
I’ve dedicated today’s Total Wealth to exploring how we got here and what you can do about it.
With Ukraine Under Pressure, Oil, Gas, and Profits Expected to Flow from France
It’s not looking good for Ukraine right now – or for the European continent. As Russia “intensifies” its diplomatic efforts with the West and its military presence on Ukrainian borders, it is becoming clearer that this isn’t just a political crisis. Oil and gas, already scarce in certain parts of Europe due to labor and […]
Return to Normal Triggers Return of this Tourism Company’s Profits
On Thursday, after the close, Expedia Group Inc. (EXPE) posted fourth-quarter results that included a bottom line that blew estimates away.
EXPE reported adjusted earnings of $1.06 per share, which was well above estimates of $0.60, and up from a $2.64 loss in the same period a year ago.
Those are great numbers for a company that relies on tourism and travel – and I’m not surprised, considering the Omicron variant turned out to be far less deadly than initially feared. Despite its exponential rise, people generally felt more comfortable traveling.
