The Quiet Investor is a monthly publication on small company stocks. Each report highlights a small-cap low priced company that the editor feels has the capacity to triple over a three-year period, avoiding fad stocks, stocks currently in fashion, and high-priced growth stocks. Editors talk to management as part of their investigation, and often reject stock candidates because management either doesn’t impress them or are paid too much. Historically, about a fourth of the Quiet Investor’s picks are eventually bought out by other companies. Accompanying each issue is market commentary as well as updates on news and finances of companies formerly recommended.

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.
