Contributing Writer III

As I try to expand Main Street beats Wall Street to help all levels of option trading, I also want to expand the site into other forms of investing and preservation of wealth. I am one who believes in preserving a diverse portfolio. I make my money through working and trading. My work over the last few decades has been intertwined with the NYC Fire Dept. and personal businesses. The profit I make from my working and trading, I invest in other areas such as: real estate, business, stocks (long term), mutual funds, IRAs, collectables, precious metals and now cryptocurrency.

In addition to stocks and options, I’d like to introduce, precious metals to Main Street beats Wall Street, so it gives me great pleasure to induct our 3rd contributing writer and dear friend, John Cuilla. Like Bob Bullock (Advanced Technical Analysis) and Stephen Jr,”The Grasshopper” (Options 101), John is a brilliant writer. I am influenced by John’s cerebral nature and dedication to his work and family. John is a graduate of St. John’s University with a degree in Business Administration. He majored in Marketing & minored in Psychology. Not only is John educated, but he is extremely street smart and fun loving. Upon graduation, John enjoyed life – within reason, and worked at a few short term jobs. Then, as many do, he entered the “family business,” which his father started in 1947. This was an office supply company; and this was in addition to him managing family real estate. I met John in the early 90’s when he was managing a family commercial property, which housed my first bar business. We have been close ever since. John lives with his beautiful wife Patricia in New York just north of NYC.

A number of years ago John became a student of gold and silver, it’s ongoing manipulation, and it’s historical use as real money, versus paper currencies. Because of John’s extensive studying and many years of investing in precious metals, I asked him to be a contributing writer for our new section: “Precious Metals and Real Money News.” John,“The Real Money Man” will illuminate you with precious metals in this section. If you are interested in precious metals, I’m sure you will enjoy John’s extraordinary writing skills and devotion to his endeavors as much as I do. Welcome aboard John! We look forward to your insight!
