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 Canary in the Global Stock Coalmine is Singing – Your Evergrande Action Plan
Just because China Evergrande Group made an $83.5 million bond interest payment on October 23 – at the last possible minute under a 30-day grace period – doesn’t mean it’s out of the woods.
The giant property developer, once a Fortune Global 500 company, has $305 billion in outstanding debt, $500 million in interest due by the end of this year, and no money to pay it off. Its back is up again a wall – the $60 trillion Chinese residential property sector – and that wall is leaning back.
If Evergrande defaults on its debt and is forced into bankruptcy, the great wall of residential property in China will collapse the country’s economy and contagion will hammer the global stock markets.
Climate Congress Flop is Taking this Oil Company to New Heights
COP26, a United Nations Climate Conference, is underway in Scotland and it’s not looking good for clean energy hopefuls that expected this summit to be a massive pop for green stocks.
The two of the biggest polluters on the planet, China and Russia, have refused to attend which means one thing for us…
Investors Wrongfully Condemn Two Profitable Tech Giants Bearing Steep Labor Costs
We are entering a new era.
Every company is short on labor and the workers they do have are unionizing to demand higher wages, which has created a surge in employer compensation costs in key industries.
We’ve already seen the effects of this in docks and warehouses across the US, with the Transportation Department teaming up with California ports to prevent future snarls by pumping $5 billion into the industry.
The Clean Energy Company Fueling Amazon’s Delivery Fleet Makes Another Move
As investors go crawling back to oil and gas to ride out the energy crisis, they’re neglecting a key player in the clean energy space that’s collaborating with Amazon to create an environmentally friendly delivery fleet.
After its initial 66% run-up in February, this company has traded back down to a bargain deal for a company with such strong prospects and financials. I fully expect another run with this stock, so…
The Biggest Threat to the Market is Here and No-One Seems to Care… But You Should
We are in the throes of a spectacular bull market.
Since it started stampeding back in 2009, the S&P 500 has risen 551%, while the DOW and Nasdaq have risen even higher. And they are still climbing.
Which, on its face, is great for us – but we need to be cautious. There are many threats to a bull market, but there is one singular, systemic threat that everyone should be afraid of: rising interest rates.
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.
