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 Best Way to Profit from the Auto Industry’s Slowdown
In last week’s Flip the Chart column, I recommended buying-to-open a MPWR March 17, 2023 $490/$480 Put Spread – and I’m sure glad I did. As I write this, the stock looks like its rolling over, and we could hit our profit target in the next few days. This week’s profit opportunity comes from an […]
Avoid These Anti-ESG Losers At All Cost
The tailwinds behind the “everything rally” have faded a bit in the wake of a CPI and PPI report that showed inflation continuing to be stubborn. Between that and the ongoing growth we’re seeing in the economy, the Fed’s position on interest rates has remained hawkish, and it seems clear that we’re looking at higher […]
How to Save the Free Market from the Fed… and Get Paid Doing It
Most people, including Wall Street investors, don’t realize that we don’t have free markets. We operate under a command economy, not unlike manifestly socialist or Communist countries, or dare I say, banana republics. Who is at the helm of the command center? The Federal Reserve System, America’s private central bank. That’s right, the Fed’s a […]
Make This Trade Today for a Potential 30% Profit
We’ve spent the last several months bringing you inflation-beating ideas in Monday’s column, but with inflation coming down, I want to switch things up and bring you a taste of the “out of the box” trading we’ve been doing in my Hyperdrive Portfolio service. So, welcome to the new Monday column, which I’m going to […]
Grab These Stocks Now Before the “Everything Rally” Fades
As I said yesterday in my Total Wealth article, the “everything rally” is off and running, and we’re seeing a nice run up in pretty much every sector of the market – even stocks that by all rights should be left for dead. So the questions before us are: how long can we expect this […]
The Tools You Need to Profit from the “Everything Rally”
In case you haven’t noticed, almost everything’s been on an upward tear: most stocks for sure, especially meme stocks and zombie stocks, cryptos, junk bonds… just about everything’s going up. It’s the “everything rally,” and it’s scary, because it doesn’t make a lot of sense to some investors. But for the “greed is good” crowd […]
These Are the Best EV Stocks to Buy Right Now
Markets were on an absolute tear yesterday, especially the Nasdaq Composite, which spiked 3.25% up from Wednesday’s close. While the 25-basis point hike we got from the FOMC was baked in, the real surprise was the lack of hawkishness in Jerome Powell’s remarks and commentary – even going so far as to talk about disinflation […]
What to Do When This Popular Indicator Starts to Flash
One of the most common questions I’m asked is: “Do I sell stocks or index ETFs when they’re technically ‘overbought?’” Now, technically, an “overbought” stock (or any tradeable instrument) has reached a point where it’s begun to get above measures that imply it’s gone up more, in relative terms, than it should have, whether that’s […]
What to Buy and Sell Going into a Bullish February
A wave of optimism pushed along by a higher-than-expected GDP report and a lower-than-expected number of initial jobless claims is sending markets well above the resistance level I was watching at 4000-4016. We could be seeing a lot of money coming in off the sidelines going into February, especially because we pretty much know what […]
How to Profit from the Fed’s February Rate Hike Right Now
Imagine for a moment how you’d trade, or make big buying and selling investment decisions, if you knew what the Fed’s FOMC rate moves were going to be before they actually announced them. If you’d known in June of last year that the Fed was going to push rates 75 basis points higher rather than […]
