How can we help you today?
Passport Fellowship
A: Definitely. The fundamental relationships between risk and reward play out within the context of much longer cycles. Like a doctor, we want to understand where things fit so that we have the ability to withstand short-term volatility and profit from it – like the transition to higher interest rates that’s beginning now.
A: To be honest, you can run stops at any percentage level you want. My research, though, suggests that 25% is a palatably wide “band” that protects our money while also preventing us from getting bounced out of trades prematurely by normal volatility.
Here’s the key… When a trade really begins to run, volatility tends to quiet down. Most people think of volatility as it relates to the downside, but in reality, volatility has a close relationship to upward price movement, too. What I mean by this is that the faster and more easily price moves, the lower the volatility signature of most financial instruments – in this case YCS. That, in turn, translates to tighter stops and, of course, higher potential profits.
As for 10%, I get that question a lot. Many people simply find 10% to be psychologically more palatable. But there is a wrinkle.
Stops that are too tight frequently result in traders getting bounced out of otherwise solid trades prematurely. So you’ve got to have a handle on how, when, and under what conditions you’ll reenter the trade if you want back in.
Most people think they have this covered but in reality it’s a lot harder than you would think, even for professionals. So I stick with what I believe would be the best for thousands of subscribers (based on their constant feedback over the years).
A: There are two places.
First, you can find the trade instructions for the latest recommendations in the latest monthly issue. Simply go to the digital archives, click on the latest issue – and you’ll find the latest trades.
If you want to find out the latest instructions for older positions, all you have to do is visit the online portfolio for each newsletter service. These portfolios are updated daily with the latest trades and instructions. Below, you’ll find links that will take you right where you need to go:
- To explore the Money Map Report Portfolio, click here.
- To explore the Fast Fortune Club, Portfolio, click here.
- To explore the Nova-X Report Portfolio, click here.
While Private Briefing doesn’t track its recommendations, you can find a list of stocks Bill has recommended by clicking here.
A: Go to the Money Map Press website and log in with your user name and password.
Once you’re logged in, you’ll be able to click on “Subscriptions” – it’s in the middle of the menu bar at the top of your browser window. A pop-up menu will appear, and Money Map Report, Nova-X Report, Fast Fortune Club, and Private Briefing will have check marks next to them (as will any other trading services to which you’re subscribed). Click on the name of each newsletter to explore the wealth of resources that each service has to offer.
Once you’re logged in, you’ll be able view the up-to-date portfolio, read weekly email updates and monthly issues, and browse the extensive library of research reports for each service.
Many of these reports are required reading – you’ll learn more about the investing philosophy of each expert, as well as more about the core tenets underpinning each service.
We understand that the sheer amount of information you’ll get with Passport Fellowship can be a bit overwhelming at first. In time, however, you’ll discover why so many consider these four publications required reading for investors
For now, however, you might be left wondering: where do I begin?
Again, that’s entirely up to you. You can pick your favorite service, cherry-pick different recommendations from different portfolios, or you can follow along religiously with each newsletter service – it’s entirely your call.
There are a few differences between the newsletters included in your Passport Fellowship subscription. If you’re short on investible capital, or want to adhere to a single investment philosophy, or simply don’t have the time to keep up with four newsletters right now, just ask yourself a couple of questions…
Do you…
- …believe in a sound investing strategy with a portfolio designed to limit risk? Then Money Map Report might be your best bet.
- …believe that tomorrow’s billionaires will be coming out of the tech sector? Go with Nova-X Report.
- …believe that you can beat Wall Street at their own game with fast and easy moves? Check out Fast Fortune Club.
We do recommend that you keep up with Bill Patalon’s daily Private Briefing – especially if you’re new to investing. Bill takes a “learn while you earn” approach to the markets, where he teaches you everything you need to know about trading while giving you profitable recommendations.
One of the best parts about Passport Fellowship is that we empower you with our best information and allow you take control of your financial destiny.
First, if you haven’t already done so, we recommend checking out your welcome videos (they can be found here) to get acquainted with Shah, Michael, and Bill.
Then, take a look at the latest issues of Money Map Report (click here), Nova-X Report (click here), and Fast Fortune Club (click here). And be sure to visit the Private Briefing archives (click here) and check out the most recent issues.
Read through the archives for each newsletter to get a feel for each service. Get familiar with the stock recommendations and trading instructions, so that you’re ready to jump on the next trade.
Your trading instructions will look something like this:
Action to Take: Buy XYZ Inc. (NYSE:XYZ) at market and use a 25% trailing stop to protect your principle and your profits.
This is the basic format. They won’t always look exactly like this. In fact, there are often variations, including Michael Robinson’s “Cowboy Split” technique (where you buy a 50% position at market and put in a lowball order at a lower price for the other 50%). The trailing stop may be higher or lower, depending on the risk involved – sometimes, there won’t be a trailing stop at all.
One more thing. If you’re new to investing, one of the hardest things to overcome is the language barrier. There’s so much jargon involved in trading that many would-be investors remain on the sidelines.
So we’ve put together a glossary of commonly used investing terms. We recommend bookmarking this page on your browser, or printing out a copy and referring back to it when you find a word or phrase you’re not familiar with.
Passport Fellowship is our best investing ideas from our most accomplished gurus – for life. With Passport Fellowship, you get access to four best-in-the-industry newsletters – Shah Gilani’s Money Map Report, Michael Robinson’s Nova-X Report Tom Gentile’s Fast Fortune Club, and Bill Patalon’s Private Briefing – every bit of market analysis, every poignant insight, every bold prediction, and every high-profit recommendation is yours for the rest of your investing life.
There’s something here for everyone. If you’re new to investing, our experts will walk you through every step on your journey to new wealth. And if you’re an experienced trader, you’ll recognize our independent experts as some of the sharpest minds in the industry.
Each month, you’ll get printed copies of the Money Map Report, Nova-X Report, and Fast Fortune Club, newsletters delivered to your door. They’ll contain the latest profitable recommendations as well as analysis of the market’s biggest trends.
Each week, you’ll receive email updates from each newsletter that zero in on the day-to-day ups and downs of the markets, and the latest headlines affecting your investment dollars. You’ll also get the most up-to-date information regarding the investments in the open portfolio.
Daily, you’ll get Bill Patalon’s Private Briefing, where you’ll get Bill’s breakdown of the markets and his very profitable recommendations. You’ll also see special insight from other Money Map Press experts – including recommendations and analysis that costs thousands of dollars per year.
Money Map Press has a dedicated group of customer service representatives available from Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. to assist you with any account-related issues you may be having.
We recommend familiarizing yourself with the customer self-service portal.
Reach out to customer service via email or at 1-888-384-8339.
We get this question a lot, and it’s impossible to answer, because every investor’s objectives and risk tolerance are different.
The short answer: That’s entirely up to you and your broker.
In general, we do recommend two risk management principles: 1) following a “position sizing” discipline that works for you and 2) using trailing stops to protect your principal and your profits. Beyond that, we can’t offer any advice about how much to invest in any position.
One rule of thumb you may want to follow is to make certain you don’t have any more than 2% of your risk capital exposed to any single investment (unless specifically advised by the editor). Studies show that this helps keep risk down to palatable levels, while still allowing you to build a diversified risk portfolio capable of stellar performance over time.
When your 2% max investment is combined with a 25% trailing stop, you should never lose more than 0.5% of the value of your total portfolio on any one play. Let’s say you have $100,000 to invest. The max you would put into any position is $2,000. And with a 25% trailing stop, the most you could ever lose in that play is $500 (1/200th of your total).
When it comes to controlling risk and position sizing, there are many rules, but one trumps them all… don’t play the game if you don’t have the cash to back it up.
Note: The Securities and Exchange Commission regulates the financial publication industry. Due to regulations enforced by this agency, we are prohibited from providing our customers with personalized investment advice. Because we are financial journalists – not advisors or brokers – newsletters and investment advisories should never be interpreted as personalized investment advice. Any decisions related to investment amounts should be left entirely up to you and your broker
Money Map Press is not a broker, dealer, or licensed investment advisor. We are a publisher and are prohibited from providing individual investment advice. As a courtesy to our subscribers, we provide a list of brokers on our website. No person or company on that list should be considered as permitted to engage in rendering personalized investment, legal, or other professional advice as an agent of Money Map Press. Money Map Press does not receive any compensation for these services. Additionally, any individual services rendered to Money Map Press by the companies listed are considered completely separate from and outside the scope of services offered by Money Map Press. Any contact and resulting relationship is strictly between you and the company.

Click on the name of each newsletter to explore the wealth of resources that each service has to offer.
Once you’re logged in, you’ll be able view the up-to-date portfolio, read weekly email updates and monthly issues, and browse the extensive library of research reports for each service.
Many of these reports are required reading – you’ll learn more about the investing philosophy of each expert, as well as more about the core tenets underpinning each service.
We understand that the sheer amount of information you’ll get with Passport Fellowship can be a bit overwhelming at first. In time, however, you’ll discover why so many consider these four publications required reading for investors
For now, however, you might be left wondering: where do I begin?
Again, that’s entirely up to you. You can pick your favorite service, cherry-pick different recommendations from different portfolios, or you can follow along religiously with each newsletter service – it’s entirely your call.
There are a few differences between the newsletters included in your Passport Fellowship subscription. If you’re short on investible capital, or want to adhere to a single investment philosophy, or simply don’t have the time to keep up with four newsletters right now, just ask yourself a couple of questions…
Do you…
- …believe in a sound investing strategy with a portfolio designed to limit risk? Then Money Map Report might be your best bet.
- …believe that tomorrow’s billionaires will be coming out of the tech sector? Go with Nova-X Report.
- …believe that you can beat Wall Street at their own game with fast and easy moves? Check out Fast Fortune Club.
We do recommend that you keep up with Bill Patalon’s daily Private Briefing – especially if you’re new to investing. Bill takes a “learn while you earn” approach to the markets, where he teaches you everything you need to know about trading while giving you profitable recommendations.
One of the best parts about Passport Fellowship is that we empower you with our best information and allow you take control of your financial destiny.
First, if you haven’t already done so, we recommend checking out your welcome videos (they can be found here) to get acquainted with Shah, Michael, and Bill.
Then, take a look at the latest issues of Money Map Report (click here), Nova-X Report (click here), and Fast Fortune Club (click here). And be sure to visit the Private Briefing archives (click here) and check out the most recent issues.
Read through the archives for each newsletter to get a feel for each service. Get familiar with the stock recommendations and trading instructions, so that you’re ready to jump on the next trade.
Your trading instructions will look something like this:
Action to Take: Buy XYZ Inc. (NYSE:XYZ) at market and use a 25% trailing stop to protect your principle and your profits.
This is the basic format. They won’t always look exactly like this. In fact, there are often variations, including Michael Robinson’s “Cowboy Split” technique (where you buy a 50% position at market and put in a lowball order at a lower price for the other 50%). The trailing stop may be higher or lower, depending on the risk involved – sometimes, there won’t be a trailing stop at all.
One more thing. If you’re new to investing, one of the hardest things to overcome is the language barrier. There’s so much jargon involved in trading that many would-be investors remain on the sidelines.
So we’ve put together a glossary of commonly used investing terms. We recommend bookmarking this page on your browser, or printing out a copy and referring back to it when you find a word or phrase you’re not familiar with.

Money Map Press has a dedicated group of customer service representatives available from Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. to assist you with any account-related issues you may be having.
We recommend familiarizing yourself with the customer self-service portal.

We get this question a lot, and it’s impossible to answer, because every investor’s objectives and risk tolerance are different.
The short answer: That’s entirely up to you and your broker.
In general, we do recommend two risk management principles: 1) following a “position sizing” discipline that works for you and 2) using trailing stops to protect your principal and your profits. Beyond that, we can’t offer any advice about how much to invest in any position.
One rule of thumb you may want to follow is to make certain you don’t have any more than 2% of your risk capital exposed to any single investment (unless specifically advised by the editor). Studies show that this helps keep risk down to palatable levels, while still allowing you to build a diversified risk portfolio capable of stellar performance over time.
When your 2% max investment is combined with a 25% trailing stop, you should never lose more than 0.5% of the value of your total portfolio on any one play. Let’s say you have $100,000 to invest. The max you would put into any position is $2,000. And with a 25% trailing stop, the most you could ever lose in that play is $500 (1/200th of your total).
When it comes to controlling risk and position sizing, there are many rules, but one trumps them all… don’t play the game if you don’t have the cash to back it up.

Due to regulations enforced by this agency, we are prohibited from providing our customers with personalized investment advice.

A: Definitely. The fundamental relationships between risk and reward play out within the context of much longer cycles. Like a doctor, we want to understand where things fit so that we have the ability to withstand short-term volatility and profit from it – like the transition to higher interest rates that’s beginning now.
A: To be honest, you can run stops at any percentage level you want. My research, though, suggests that 25% is a palatably wide “band” that protects our money while also preventing us from getting bounced out of trades prematurely by normal volatility.
Here’s the key… When a trade really begins to run, volatility tends to quiet down. Most people think of volatility as it relates to the downside, but in reality, volatility has a close relationship to upward price movement, too. What I mean by this is that the faster and more easily price moves, the lower the volatility signature of most financial instruments – in this case YCS. That, in turn, translates to tighter stops and, of course, higher potential profits.
As for 10%, I get that question a lot. Many people simply find 10% to be psychologically more palatable. But there is a wrinkle.
Stops that are too tight frequently result in traders getting bounced out of otherwise solid trades prematurely. So you’ve got to have a handle on how, when, and under what conditions you’ll reenter the trade if you want back in.
Most people think they have this covered but in reality it’s a lot harder than you would think, even for professionals. So I stick with what I believe would be the best for thousands of subscribers (based on their constant feedback over the years).
A: There are two places.
First, you can find the trade instructions for the latest recommendations in the latest monthly issue. Simply go to the digital archives, click on the latest issue – and you’ll find the latest trades.
If you want to find out the latest instructions for older positions, all you have to do is visit the online portfolio for each newsletter service. These portfolios are updated daily with the latest trades and instructions. Below, you’ll find links that will take you right where you need to go:

The trailing stop may be higher or lower, depending on the risk involved – sometimes, there won’t be a trailing stop at all.
One more thing. If you’re new to investing, one of the hardest things to overcome is the language barrier. There’s so much jargon involved in trading that many would-be investors remain on the sidelines.
So we’ve put together a glossary of commonly used investing terms. We recommend bookmarking this page on your browser, or printing out a copy and referring back to it when you find a word or phrase you’re not familiar with.

We get this question a lot, and it’s impossible to answer, because every investor’s objectives and risk tolerance are different.
The short answer: That’s entirely up to you and your broker.
In general, we do recommend two risk management principles: 1) following a “position sizing” discipline that works for you and 2) using trailing stops to protect your principal and your profits. Beyond that, we can’t offer any advice about how much to invest in any position.
One rule of thumb you may want to follow is to make certain you don’t have any more than 2% of your risk capital exposed to any single investment (unless specifically advised by the editor). Studies show that this helps keep risk down to palatable levels, while still allowing you to build a diversified risk portfolio capable of stellar performance over time.
When your 2% max investment is combined with a 25% trailing stop, you should never lose more than 0.5% of the value of your total portfolio on any one play. Let’s say you have $100,000 to invest. The max you would put into any position is $2,000. And with a 25% trailing stop, the most you could ever lose in that play is $500 (1/200th of your total).
When it comes to controlling risk and position sizing, there are many rules, but one trumps them all… don’t play the game if you don’t have the cash to back it up.

A: Definitely. The fundamental relationships between risk and reward play out within the context of much longer cycles. Like a doctor, we want to understand where things fit so that we have the ability to withstand short-term volatility and profit from it – like the transition to higher interest rates that’s beginning now.
A: To be honest, you can run stops at any percentage level you want. My research, though, suggests that 25% is a palatably wide “band” that protects our money while also preventing us from getting bounced out of trades prematurely by normal volatility.
Here’s the key… When a trade really begins to run, volatility tends to quiet down. Most people think of volatility as it relates to the downside, but in reality, volatility has a close relationship to upward price movement, too. What I mean by this is that the faster and more easily price moves, the lower the volatility signature of most financial instruments – in this case YCS. That, in turn, translates to tighter stops and, of course, higher potential profits.
As for 10%, I get that question a lot. Many people simply find 10% to be psychologically more palatable. But there is a wrinkle.
Stops that are too tight frequently result in traders getting bounced out of otherwise solid trades prematurely. So you’ve got to have a handle on how, when, and under what conditions you’ll reenter the trade if you want back in.
Most people think they have this covered but in reality it’s a lot harder than you would think, even for professionals. So I stick with what I believe would be the best for thousands of subscribers (based on their constant feedback over the years).
A: There are two places.
First, you can find the trade instructions for the latest recommendations in the latest monthly issue. Simply go to the digital archives, click on the latest issue – and you’ll find the latest trades.
If you want to find out the latest instructions for older positions, all you have to do is visit the online portfolio for each newsletter service. These portfolios are updated daily with the latest trades and instructions. Below, you’ll find links that will take you right where you need to go:
- To explore the Money Map Report Portfolio, click here.
- To explore the Fast Fortune Club, Portfolio, click here.
- To explore the Nova-X Report Portfolio, click here.
While Private Briefing doesn’t track its recommendations, you can find a list of stocks Bill has recommended by clicking here.
A: Go to the Money Map Press website and log in with your user name and password.
Once you’re logged in, you’ll be able to click on “Subscriptions” – it’s in the middle of the menu bar at the top of your browser window. A pop-up menu will appear, and Money Map Report, Nova-X Report, Fast Fortune Club, and Private Briefing will have check marks next to them (as will any other trading services to which you’re subscribed). Click on the name of each newsletter to explore the wealth of resources that each service has to offer.
Once you’re logged in, you’ll be able view the up-to-date portfolio, read weekly email updates and monthly issues, and browse the extensive library of research reports for each service.
Many of these reports are required reading – you’ll learn more about the investing philosophy of each expert, as well as more about the core tenets underpinning each service.
We understand that the sheer amount of information you’ll get with Passport Fellowship can be a bit overwhelming at first. In time, however, you’ll discover why so many consider these four publications required reading for investors
For now, however, you might be left wondering: where do I begin?
Again, that’s entirely up to you. You can pick your favorite service, cherry-pick different recommendations from different portfolios, or you can follow along religiously with each newsletter service – it’s entirely your call.
There are a few differences between the newsletters included in your Passport Fellowship subscription. If you’re short on investible capital, or want to adhere to a single investment philosophy, or simply don’t have the time to keep up with four newsletters right now, just ask yourself a couple of questions…
Do you…
- …believe in a sound investing strategy with a portfolio designed to limit risk? Then Money Map Report might be your best bet.
- …believe that tomorrow’s billionaires will be coming out of the tech sector? Go with Nova-X Report.
- …believe that you can beat Wall Street at their own game with fast and easy moves? Check out Fast Fortune Club.
We do recommend that you keep up with Bill Patalon’s daily Private Briefing – especially if you’re new to investing. Bill takes a “learn while you earn” approach to the markets, where he teaches you everything you need to know about trading while giving you profitable recommendations.
One of the best parts about Passport Fellowship is that we empower you with our best information and allow you take control of your financial destiny.
First, if you haven’t already done so, we recommend checking out your welcome videos (they can be found here) to get acquainted with Shah, Michael, and Bill.
Then, take a look at the latest issues of Money Map Report (click here), Nova-X Report (click here), and Fast Fortune Club (click here). And be sure to visit the Private Briefing archives (click here) and check out the most recent issues.
Read through the archives for each newsletter to get a feel for each service. Get familiar with the stock recommendations and trading instructions, so that you’re ready to jump on the next trade.
Your trading instructions will look something like this:
Action to Take: Buy XYZ Inc. (NYSE:XYZ) at market and use a 25% trailing stop to protect your principle and your profits.
This is the basic format. They won’t always look exactly like this. In fact, there are often variations, including Michael Robinson’s “Cowboy Split” technique (where you buy a 50% position at market and put in a lowball order at a lower price for the other 50%).

When your 2% max investment is combined with a 25% trailing stop, you should never lose more than 0.5% of the value of your total portfolio on any one play. Let’s say you have $100,000 to invest. The max you would put into any position is $2,000. And with a 25% trailing stop, the most you could ever lose in that play is $500 (1/200th of your total).
When it comes to controlling risk and position sizing, there are many rules, but one trumps them all… don’t play the game if you don’t have the cash to back it up.
