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.
Claim Your Share of One of the Market’s Richest Upcoming Payouts
Over the past year, I’ve been a big proponent of Economics 101 when it comes to evaluating companies – an identifiable product or business model, solid balance sheets, strong revenues, and high profit margins. It’s a good foundation, but for income investors, there’s another important concern: the consistency of payouts and the availability of funds […]
Buy These Five Stocks Now… and Ditch These Five Losers
Markets have been trending downward again this week, after a sudden turnaround in sentiment from just two weeks ago. These shifts are happening because of competing narratives that are prominent in the media and are trapping big market-maker dealers in alternating waves of push-pull action. Trying to follow those storylines is a good way to […]
Trade These Three ETFs to Profit from the Markets’ Big Changes
I’ve been in the trading business for over 40 years, and I know what moves stocks and markets. And I’m telling you, it’s changed. The dynamic rocking of stocks and markets these days are driven by narratives. More precisely and more importantly, macro-narrative themes. That’s because macro-narrative themes lead to consensus trades. Those collective trades […]
This 7% Dividend Stock Just Blew Past Q4 2022 Projections – Buy It Now
The inflation rate in December 2022 fell to 6.5% on an annual basis. That’s down from 7.1% in November and a peak of 9.1% in June 2022, but it’s still very high. And with the Fed still sticking to their guns on keeping interest rates higher for longer, we know that we must continue to […]
Stocks Are Still Volatile – Check Out This Alternative for Lasting Returns
If you’ve seen the Total Wealth article from this week about Blackstone’s “bailout” from the University of California, you know that the real estate market is in real trouble. That’s a problem for investors who are concerned about the whiplash effect from volatility in traditional equities, which was a hallmark of last year and isn’t […]
The Real Estate Market Is Heading for a Huge Slump – Here’s the Best Way to Profit
Blackstone Inc., the giant alternative investment management company with almost a trillion dollars in AUM (assets under management), recently restricted investors from redeeming or cashing out their BREIT (the Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust) fund because the fund didn’t have enough liquidity. That’s a problem – not only for investors who wanted their money back, […]
This $20 Stock Pays You Back $2.30 for Every Share You Own
Friday’s employment numbers showed lower wage growth than expected. That was good enough for traders to move into stocks, and the S&P 500 saw a 2.28% move on Friday, which is continuing into Monday’s session. The lower wage growth was good, but we’re nowhere near being out of the woods regarding inflation. Bottom line – […]
As Earnings Season Starts Up, Here Are the Opportunities to Watch
Markets are starting to catch up to the reality of the Federal Open Market Committee’s messaging on Wednesday and are settling back down again after a brief pop. As I’ve been saying for a while, they’re not kidding about keeping rates higher for longer. The same thing happened this time that’s happened every time there’s […]
China’s Heading for an Economic Meltdown – Do This Right Now to Grab the Biggest Gains
The 1979 movie thriller, The China Syndrome, was based on the fanciful premise that a nuclear meltdown in America could burn through the earth to China. But this isn’t a movie. In this real-life implosion, China is about to melt down. I’ve written before about how the Chinese government has been trying to prop up […]
Quantitative Tightening Will Send Shockwaves Through Markets – Buy This To Stay on Solid Ground
Right now, everyone wants to know how much more the Fed’s going to hike, what the terminal rate will be (the highest level that fed funds get to), and how long might they keep rates elevated. But that’s looking in the wrong direction. We know the answers already. Rate hikes aren’t as important as they’ve […]
