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 Race to Meet Soaring Consumer Demand is On – Put Your Money on this Rising Retail Star
Regardless of what the media says, this holiday season will be a bust for many traditional retailers.
Anyone dependent on international trade or third-party shipping will suffer from every supply hiccup from factory to sales floor – labor shortages, container shortages, rising shipping costs…
The Supply Chain Breakdown Put These Companies on the Path to Profits
Any company with a stake in international shipping has gotten pummeled this month – and rightly so.
Despite claims that retail will see an incredible holiday season full of sales, it has become increasingly clear to us investors that demand has outpaced supply for almost every product on the market. Shelves are clearing out and wishful thinking isn’t going to move products from ports and warehouses to the sales floor any faster.
Which is why I’m watching companies that are doing more than just sit, wait, and hope. Companies that are planning strategically for the long-term to lock in profits for themselves and their shareholders.
The Broken $47 Billion Unicorn is Rearing Its Ugly Head – Don’t Touch It
There have been droves of podcasts, TV shows, and even movies that have chronicled the downfall of the “$47 Billion Unicorn” during its last attempt to go public in 2019.

If you’ve read the news recently, you know that China is unwinding.
On top of the worsening Evergrande situation, President Xi Jinping has been cracking down on Chinese tech companies utilized by the U.S., which would be bad news for companies reliant on Chinese and Taiwanese semiconductors.
As I mentioned yesterday, semiconductor demand is rising and it won’t stop any time soon. The resulting shortage has created massive backorders for all tech from PCs to washing machines – and many investment opportunities for us.
Three Plays to Profit on the Global PC Shortage
Semiconductors… A piece of tech people hardly knew or cared about before there suddenly weren’t enough to go around. The consequences of this short have rippled through the tech industry, from smart phones to LEDs lightbulbs, but none were hit harder than computer manufacturers.
The persistence of the work from home movement has increased demand for PCs and desktops, resulting in a flood of orders placed with hardware makers already struggling to keep up. As backlogs grow, vendors aren’t expecting to catch up until mid-2022 at the earliest.
And even then, demand for PCs and the semiconductors that make them possible could continue to grow until the end of this decade. If that comes to pass, the semiconductor industry could double, reaching a revenue between $500 billion to $1 trillion.
Grab This Energy Stock Before Nat. Gas Prices Soar Higher
Oil, gas, coal… the whole fossil fuels industry has jumped to new heights this week.
And those heights are only going to get higher, so now is the time for us to dive into the best energy plays to grab before winter hits.
The Energy Play Your Need to Break Through the Worst Fossil Fuel Crisis Since 1973
The green revolution is, sadly, not today’s reality.
The media would have you believe otherwise.
Yet that idea fooled even the biggest Wall Street traders and hedge funds in recent weeks.
Natural Gas is Back, Grab Shares of This ETF Before the News Finds Out
The energy crisis in Europe and Asia has newsrooms scrambling to bring new oil and gas stories to the front page. But in this fossil fuel frenzy, they’re overshadowing an incredible opportunity with natural gas that could double your investment by next year.
The Investor’s Holy Trinity – EVs, Bio-Tech, and Gaming
Stagflation fears came to a head last week only to ease up going into the start of today’s trading session – and I am not surprised.
Just as I noted in last week’s stagflation piece: we are seeing inflation, but the economy certainly isn’t stagnating.
In fact, the first company I’m watching this week is a great example of the U.S.’s continued growth. Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) has sold 9,150 electric vehicles over the month of September, which is a 91.6% increase when compared in last September.
New Scandal, New Opportunity – Profit Plays on this Week’s Breaking News
Corporate scandals come and go – and while they don’t always stick, the stock almost always flounders.
In the last several weeks, we’ve seen a parade of formal hearings concerning Facebook (Nasdaq:FB) knowingly harming it’s 2.89 billion users for the sake of profits. Now, I won’t pass judgement on FB because my opinion on their past practices doesn’t matter.
What does matter is that the subsequent landslide of negative attention triggered a sell-off. And that presents us with an opportunity.
Facebook is the kind of company that will take this scandal on the chin, make a few changes, and get right back in the fray making off-the-chart profits. Its stock may never be this cheap again, so I developed a suggested investment plan for you to get yourself a strong FB position.
You’ll get that and more in this week’s Buy, Sell, or Hold.
