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.
Fortress Stock to Guard Your Portfolio from Market Disaster
The markets have gone wild.
With the DOW down thousands on points, stocks swinging up and down, and a bond rally taking investors by storm… And on top of that, we’re in the middle of a convergence of three hyperdrive events. It’s hard to know where to go to keep your portfolio from circling the drain.
But luckily, these market mood swings have presented us with deal bargain-hunter’s dream of. Make sure you grab up your shares by clicking the video below.
The Energy Play Investors Can’t See
No one in the world is safe from rising oil prices.
Recent estimates expect global oil and gas investment to grow to $628 billion by the end of 2022. Investors are scrambling every which way to find the best energy plays before costs really take off – but many are missing a key opportunity one step removed from the oil drillers they love so much.
I’m talking about oil services. Companies that make all the products drillers need to stay afloat. Companies like Schlumberger Limited (NYSE: SLB), a Texas-based oil company.
Unlike exploration companies that drill for oil and sell it into the global market, SLB merely provides the equipment for the drilling operations, which means its performance is less tied to short-term energy prices and more tied to longer-term energy demand.
Microsoft in the Sights of Anti-Trust Crusader
Microsoft’s plan to drop $69 billion on Activision Blizzard Inc (Nasdaq: ATVI) did everything the company expected… Drummed up considerable excitement for the acquisition, a media frenzy about the price tag, and a flood of investors scrambling to buy shares of ATVI.
But does it really expect the acquisition to go through when an anti-trust crusader leading the Federal Trade Commission is ready to shut it all down?
I think Microsoft (and ATVI investors) are about to get a rude awakening – one that we can ride out to incredible profits with an options play I’m giving you in today’s Buy, Sell, or Hold.
Food-Stock Round Up 2022 – An Inflation Action Plan
Inflation is hitting everything.
Our wallets. Our bank accounts. And even our stomachs.
I’m sure you’ve seen it. Empty grocery store shelves juxtaposed with rising grocery bills. The tab at your favorite take-out spot or a famous restaurant forcing a double-take…
Prices of almost everything we eat and drink have risen and will continue to rise – but not always for the reasons you think. Some food inflation is being exasperated by food giants looking to turn a profit.
So, in today’s Total Wealth, I’m exploring why this frightening trend is embedded in our future and how exactly you can counter this affront with three new food-stock plays.

The Global Mining Company Everyone Needs on Their Portfolio
Remember when the Fed claimed last year’s inflation was “transitory” and was “only temporary”? How J. Powell must feel now that every other news article is about how it has only gotten worse… But I hope you aren’t bored of the topic yet. This inflation isn’t going anywhere and will be one of the top […]
Taiwan Semiconductor’s 2022 Spending Plans Will Rock Your Portfolio
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (NYSE: TSM), Asia’s most valuable firm and globally the largest contract chipmaker, has made an absurd announcement in its fourth-quarter report.
The company said it expects to increase capital spending to between $40 billion and $44 billion this year. That’s up 33.3% to 46.66% from the $30 billion it spent last year.
That’s a lot of money… But TSM wouldn’t spend unless it saw huge demand for its chips now and in the future.
3 Lithium Companies in Line to Profit as Battery Prices Rocket
Lithium, lithium, lithium…
It’s all about lithium right now as demand for electric vehicles soars – and as battery prices climb alongside. Existing supply chains can’t keep up, causing prices to increase five-fold. Last January a ship cost $8,000 a tonne. Now it’s $41,000.
Bad for the car companies. Bad for EV customers.
Retail Traders Knock Out Hedge Funds… Place Bets on Round Two with New Play
Years ago, being a hedge fund manager was something worth bragging about – I would know.
Starting in 1983 on the floor of the Chicago Board of Exchange, I ran multiple successful hedge funds, helping clients (and myself) make beaucoup bucks in the stock market. At times, I was outright braggadocios about my successes, like many other hedge fund managers. Some even beat out the yearly gains of the stock market year after year…
But that was ages ago, and hedge funds aren’t bragging anymore.
It’s retail – small traders and investors – that ought to be celebrating success, and I’ve got a new play so you can be celebrating the very same profits.

Scandal at Google Drives Shares of This Company Skyward
Tsk tsk… Last week, it was discovered that Google has been using another company’s patented inventions to build its phones, laptops, and some speakers without permission.
Besides a slap on the wrist and a need to compromise with the smaller company, Google will probably take the scandal in stride – but the California-based wireless speaker company that’s won this court battle against the infamous tech giant is going to see new heights.
