John Gay is the editor and publisher of the Quiet Investor. He began his career in the financial world in 1959, as a broker with a wire house before going onto the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange in 1975. He sold his seat and started a company in the filtration business, which was sold in 1992 so he could retire. Boredom set in within six months and he began the Quiet Investor in order to participate in the bounty offered by the small business community in America. Each month a new company and business is explored.
