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.

But that’s not the only thing on the agenda in this week’s BS.H. I’ve got four buys for you today and a neat trick for those of you who want a little more security in the markets.

Six Investments to Beat the Biden Tax Bite
The Taxman is coming, and he is hungry.
U.S. President Joe Biden and his gang of big government associates have unveiled a budget that comes in at a whopping $6 trillion. There something for everybody in this package – with tax credits, giveaways, and government programs of all shapes and sizes.
This Biden Bacchanalia would make Franklin “The New Deal” Roosevelt and Lyndon “The Great Society” Johnson flush with envy. President Biden is laying out one of the most “progressive” budgets anyone has seen since the 1960s. Even Jimmy Carter couldn’t have dreamt all this up.
Want some examples? I’m talking about:
- Free school for some folks from pre-school up through college.
- Two years of community college is free for everybody.
- A full $1 billion increase in food stamps.
- Massive tax breaks for electric vehicles.
- Big bucks for renewable energy.
- And yet another infusion for healthcare.
Nothing comes for free. And that includes the Biden spending plan, which creates a deficit of $1.8 trillion this year and $1.3 trillion a year over the next 10 years – resulting in a national debt of $39 trillion (117% of projected GDP) by 2031.
Here’s the problem.
Somebody will have to pay for all this.
That “somebody” is you and me.
And those payments can be made only one way – through higher taxes.
Ruthlessly higher taxes.
Welcome to the “Biden Tax Bite.”
And there’s only one way to beat it – by getting out in front of it.

A Week After Its IPO, I’m Looking to Short FIGS
Initial public offerings (IPOs) are always one of the hottest areas of the stock market – and attract the ardor of investors and traders, alike.
One brand-new IPO received an even-greater-than-usual amount of attention – because it was the first to debut on the Robinhood trading platform.
Total Wealth’s Shah Gilani has been watching the company – and the deal – and gave us a great analysis ahead of its debut last week.
Today, on the one-week anniversary of the stock’s debut on the Big Board, Shah looks at the deal again, tells us what comes next – and tells you how to trade it.
Here’s an edited transcript of Shah’s talk with Total Wealth…
Three Stocks to Buy and a “Sell” in Sheep’s Clothing
Today’s BS.H is a mixed bag. Plenty of strong buys and trade opportunities to carry you through the long weekend from the tech, entertainment, and energy sectors.
But I also got questions about a stock you should NEVER touch. It’s stocks like this that really show that you shouldn’t always “buy the dip.” Make sure you sell this stock before it shows you its true colors.

If You Own Any of These Seven “Toxic Stocks,” Sell Them – Today
In yesterday’s Total Wealth, I told you all about the risks of “Toxic Stocks” – the flawed, overvalued, ready-to-plunge shares that can eviscerate your portfolio.
I even detailed seven “signs” that you might own one of these toxic plays, which you can read more about by clicking here.
But I also made a promise.
I told you I’d circle back with an example of each of these “toxic types.”
Today I’m doing exactly that: We’ve brought you a list of seven “toxic stocks” that aren’t worth holding.
The Seven Signs You Own a “Toxic Stock”
During interviews on national TV, my appearances at investment symposiums, or even when I’m out with friends, there’s one question that I hear over and over: “What stocks should I buy?”
But almost no one ever thinks to ask: “Which stocks should I sell?”
And that’s the question you should be asking yourself.
You see, if you want to make money – and I mean real money – in stocks, you need to avoid ruinous losses.
And you dodge those deep losses by avoiding “toxic stocks,” the ticking investment time bombs that can detonate your portfolio – and your future.
Yes … toxic stocks will kill you.
But here’s the good news: Toxic stocks are easy to ID. In fact, there are seven signs I look for, and see plain as day, that scream: “That’s a toxic stock … sell it!”
And I mean … now … today.
In this issue of Total Wealth, I’m going to share the “seven signs you own a toxic stock.”
And I’m going to give you some hints about seven companies that are giving off one or more of these signals.
When we meet here next time, I’ll do “The Reveal” – and will share the identity of each of these firms.
Seven “toxic stocks” that you’ll need to dump – immediately.
Sell the Fund and Buy the Dip – Five New Money-Making Opportunities
As the market dips, a lot of big-name stock funds like ARKF have taken a heavy beating. Now, I don’t like owning any of those right now, but there are many great picks just under the surface trading at insane discounts. Today, I’m giving you FIVE new “buy the dip” opportunities that caught my eye this week and so much more.
You might want to have a pen and paper in hand for this one.
Bag a 203% Windfall with This Biden Infrastructure Stock
“Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need … roads.”
- Emmett “Doc” Brown, “Back to the Future.”
At the very end of the first “Back to the Future,” Doc Brown (actor Christopher Lloyd) brings his time-machine DeLorean back from “tomorrow,” and tells of a future where roads are obsolete – which is why his car is now able to fly.
Although the first installment of that trilogy hit the big screen way back in 1985, the “future” of the “Back to the Future” franchise predicted where cars can fly and roads are obsolete still hasn’t arrived.
We don’t have flying cars – but the electric vehicle (EV) revolution is in the offing.
And roads remain essential – a disconcerting reality given that the highway system here in America is crumbling, and has been pretty much since the first “Back to the Future” was playing in U.S. movie houses.
Fortunately, our “reality” is about to get better – thanks to the Biden Administration’s $2.25 trillion infrastructure plan. The White House wants to invest $174 billion to help build a nationwide network of 500,000 EV charging stations by 2030. And it’s outlined a $115 billion ante to bring America’s highways and bridges up to snuff.
As we promised in yesterday’s Total Wealth, the urgently needed highway fix-it plan is handing us a moneymaking opportunity we want to jump on right now.
Rebuilding America’s Backbone – The Next Capital Wave is in the Capitol’s Hands
An old adage tells us that “Cs get degrees.”
But middling marks like that will never put you on the honor roll.
And that’s America’s problem right now – as well as its challenge.
