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.
How to Play Investor Disappointment this Earnings Season
On Thursday, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. (WBA) reported third-quarter results that disappointed investors, and the stock was down more than 5% in early trading. For the quarter, the company reported revenue of $32.6 billion, down 2% from the same period a year ago. On the bottom line, earnings came in at $0.33 a share, which […]
Buy This Dip (and Every Dip) In Oil Prices
Psst, wanna know a secret? Oil demand doesn’t go down much during typical recessions, so the latest drop in oil prices based on the prevailing fake narrative that the coming recession, if it isn’t already here, will tank oil prices, is in actuality a massive buy the dip opportunity. And there’s more, as in a […]
This is Not the End of Oil
Oil, energy… it’s all down. That’s a fact.
Recession talk has pushed the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices below $105 per barrel this past week – the lowest price we’ve seen since early May. Similarly, energy stocks have taken a beating because of recession fears. Over the last month, United States Oil Fund (USO), Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), and Chevron Corp. (CVX) are all down 2.03%, 7.93%, and 16.05%, respectively. That’s just to a name few.
But, I’m still recommending that you buy oil stocks.
Two COVID-Era Stocks Feeling the Fed’s Sting are Today’s Top Plays
As the Fed raises interest rates, easy access to cheap money is drying up, and companies that don’t make a profit, burn through cash, and rely on borrowing cheap money may be forced to default on interest payments without the possibility of refinancing. This week, I want to focus on two companies that could feel […]
Supreme Court’s Ruling on NYC Gun Law to Send Two Companies to the Moon
Hot off the presses: The Supreme Court has ruled six to three to overturn New York City’s concealed carry law, which banned those in the city from carrying of guns without a permit. This has major ramifications on the future of gun ownership and acquisition. We could see a boom in gun sales that could […]
Insiders Are Expecting Triple-Digit Returns from These Two “Busted IPO” Stocks
Featured Guest: Special Situation Strategist Tim Melvin Readers, we are in a crisis. In this bear market, things are more likely to get worse before they get better. The markets have farther to fall – 10-20% farther – and we need to be prepared, which is why we have welcomed Shah’s colleague Tim Melvin to […]
Retailers Overflowing in Unwanted Goods to Slash Prices – Here’s How to Play It
There’s been a lot written over the last few years about the impact of COVID-19 and the supply chain crisis that left retail shelves nearly empty since March 2020. COVID caused a run on things like toilet paper, lockdowns in China closed factories that produced goods we buy here in the US, and the supply […]
Ring the Register on 100% Gains When Today’s Rally Crumbles
Who doesn’t love a rally? I certainly do, especially if I see it as a dead cat bounce. Why? Because the sarcastic guy I am thinks dead cat bounces are an opportunity to make money when the stocks come right back down. Almost every short-term rally we’ve seen in this bear market have given way […]
Fed Knocks Markets Lower and You’ll Profit as They Fall
After the Federal Reserve’s 75-basis-point rate hike on Wednesday, stocks dropped significantly in Thursday’s trading. That’s no surprise considering many investors fear the Fed’s rate-hike policy could push the U.S. economy into a recession. With rising rates and a fear of recession as the backdrop, this week, I’m focusing on U.S. Treasuries and consumer discretionary […]
SEC Could Kill Retail Trading in Misguided Plan to Control Wall Street
Gary Gensler, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, is out to kill payment-for-order-flow (PFOF), the misunderstood retail trade routing mechanism that birthed commission-free trading while enriching a few love-to-hate brokerages and Wall Street scapegoats.
But killing PFOF could kill retail trading and investing, the greatest, most equalizing, easiest to access, wealth creation avenue for all Americans.
This is a big story, but the circus surrounding the 75-basis-point rate hike the Fed announced on yesterday has swept it under the rug along with all the opportunities it represents for us. So, I wanted to take time in today’s Total Wealth to address what this means for you and what you can do about it.
