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.
Even with a Negative Profit Margin, This Social Media Icon is Still a Buy
When you’re looking for a stock to buy, one that’s a real, solid investment, it’s generally in your best interest to seek out only the best. Companies large and continually growing revenues, net profits, and cash from operations and widening profit margins.
But today, that’s not the case.
This company’s financials are abysmal – but they’re not the reason why I’m interested in it. What got my attention, is its $4 billion buy back program. That sets up quite the opportunity.

A Troubled Earnings Season Opens New Trading Possibilities
Most traders and investors want to buy stocks when they’re cheap. But just as many miss those buy-the-dip opportunities because they’re scared. Any dipping stock could drop lower, especially if investors think it will “miss” consensuses estimates on upcoming earnings.
That’s understandable, but not how I think.
Because I want to buy good stocks when they’re on sale, I like positioning myself in front of earnings using a special method that I’ll reveal to you today – with a new recommendation as a bonus.
Using this method, anyone could profit handsomely no matter which way the stock swings.
Rumored Amazon Acquisition Shakes Markets and We’ll Ride the After Shocks
Interesting rumors hit the markets this weekend. Pelaton Interactive Inc (Nasdaq: PTON), the fitness tech company made infamous during the pandemic, may be picking out a buyer over the next few weeks. Story goes, Apple Inc (Nasdaq: AAPL), Amazon.com Inc (Nasdaq: AMZN), and NIKE Inc (NYSE: NKE) may be on the short list.
True or not, the very idea drove shares of PTON through the roof – I’m talking a whopping 31%. But you know what they say: what goes up, must come down…
And we’re going to catch it as it falls.

Oil Races to $100 a Barrel, Beat it to the Punch with My Favorite Energy Play
On Thursday, West Texas Crude (WTI) settled above $90 per barrel for the first time since October 2014.
That’s no surprise to me. I’ve been bullish on it since early last year.
That being said, momentum in oil is getting overbought which means we could see a short-term pullback.
Longer-term though, I still see oil trading up to $100 (and beyond) by mid-summer. Any pullback right now would be like a great opportunity to make a trade on energy companies.
One of my favorite energy trades, right now, is Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM).
On the 1st, the company reported it’s fourth-quarter results, which included GAAP earnings of $8.87 billion. That’s up from a $20.07 billion loss in the same period a year ago.
Exxon also managed to generate $48 billion of cash flow from operating activities, its highest since 2012, and it’s paying down debts. $9 billion in debt was paid during the fourth quarter, bringing the repayment to a total of $20 billion since the start of 2021.
Those are solid numbers and shares jumped as much as 9.63% in last week’s trading.
As I said, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a short-term pullback in WTI, and that would likely bring shares of XOM back down, before rising again on the back of another move higher in WTI.

Meta’s Discounted Stock Isn’t Your Only Screaming Buy This Week
Meta’s earnings gave investors quite the scare yesterday with “weaker-than-expected” revenue growth.
But let me tell you something: I don’t scare easy, and Meta is still one of my number one buys this week. Sometimes, bottom fishing is great fun, and with FB trading 26% off its highs anyone that buys in now will get a discount on one of the most profitable companies on the markets.
You’ll want to buy in before everyone else gets wise – but make sure to use the trailing stop I give you in todays video to secure your gains.
FAANG to Push Through Nasdaq Downturn
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, took a beating last night as Meta Platforms Inc led the entire tech sector and its shares lower into a dip that, according to some skittish investors, is looking more like a trench every day.
After a nearly 20% dip triggered by an inflation-anxiety-based selloff, the Nasdaq couldn’t return to its previous highs – making up only 50% of the ground lost.
Meanwhile, the other indexes have bushed themselves off. The S&P 500 is currently down 4% off its last high, and the Dow is only down 3%.
Below, you’ll see just how far the Nasdaq Composite has fallen from its three-month highs.

Discounted “Raging Bull” Food Company Goes Beyond Wall Street Expectations
Not much has been bullish these past few weeks.
Tech is languishing. The rug was pulled out from under the Dow and the S&P 500. Inflation, Russia, China… there are threats to every market and every sector around every corner.
Yet, this $42 billion food company managed to boost its profit margin 31%, sending Wall Street reeling.
Play to Win Off of Tech Company Pulling Ahead of the Pack
Here’s the thing about Apple Inc (AAPL). Over the last year, the stock has come down more than 10% – but that’s no surprise. Skittish investors concerned about rising rates have dragged down the whole tech sector. But they may be humming a new tune now that this tech giant has reported its first-quarter earnings. […]
Emergency Meeting Called to Address Market Pullback
If you enjoy watching my appearances on Varney & Co., you may be familiar with my nickname: The King of Buy-the-Dips.
Stuart Varney himself gave me that name because, as a guest of his show every week for the past eleven years, I’ve been calling every single dip. Every single buy-the-dip opportunity. And I’ve been right every single time.
This week I added another to the track record. I told Stuart that the selloff we’re seeing right now is another opportunity caught in the convergence of three super-wealth building events.
And today, I’m calling an emergency meeting tonight at 7:00 pm ET to tell you about them. This isn’t your average buy-the-dip event, so I’m working double-time to ensure you have to stocks to withstand this market pullback.
First of which I’ve included in this special edition of Total Wealth Research.
