Tell
your readers a little about yourself, where you grew up, where you live now,
where you went to school etc. Let them get to know the personal you.
Growing up in a small
farming community in Iowa and with my family in the grain business introduced
me to many investing basics. I graduated from Iowa State University with a BS
in Science. After graduation, my duty as a Line Officer in the US Navy for five
years introduced me to the international implications of investing, which
served me well as I began my career as an investment advisor in Southern
California.

What inspired you to author this book?
I am inspired to
create a simple and easy-to-learn methodology for investors to understand why
they are making an investment, thus improving their investment results. A
cornerstone that has dominated most of my adult life has been to simplify
whatever I was undertaking. My earliest introduction to simplification was in
mathematics and basic sciences such as chemistry and physics. Simplifying
processes also played a role in my business career. When it comes to investing
or buying anything, The Law of Supply and Demand is the “lowest denominator.”
And, in addition, there is a perfect pictorial representation of The Law of
Supply and Demand - it’s called a Point-and-Figure chart. These charts,
available for all investments, serve only one purpose: to show what buyers and
sellers are doing each day.
Where
did you get the inspiration for your book’s cover?
My cover illustrates
how I see my clients and readers “looking over my shoulder.”

What
do you consider your greatest success in life?
My greatest success in
life is my willingness to look beyond accepted concepts and my ability to
simplify complicated ideas.
What
one unique thing sets you apart from other writers in your genre?
Writers in the investment
genre tend to repeat or re-do standard investment practices -- concepts like
accepting the idea that an investor should invest (or not) in bonds based on
their age.

Terry J. Atzen is an author, world traveler, financial coach and strategist, supporting partner, father, grandfather and founder of The Investment Compass.
After working his way through college he served his country as a Naval Line Officer aboard a heavy cruiser before entering the business world.
Mr. Atzen has a broad and diversified background of nearly fifty years in both the pharmaceutical industry and the financial services industry. His focus during those years was in sales, sales training, management and investment coaching.
From the beginning of his business career he has gained individual recognition for his performance with all of the major Wall Street firms that he has represented, including Merrill Lynch (President's Club), E. F. Hutton (Financial Planner of the Year) and Prudential Securities. He served as Senior Vice President and Branch Manager for the Los Angeles firm of Bateman Eichler, Hill, Richards where the firm benefited from his managerial skills. Atzen also had his own investment consulting firm, Atzen & Associates, Inc., in Portland, Oregon.
The Investment Compass was created as the result of an inspirational moment that Mr. Atzen had in 2009, after over 40 years as a successful investment advisor, after which the first edition of his e-book was written. He realized at that moment that he was using information not commonly used by many investors - that he was using information on a daily basis which most investors did not possess and who therefore had to rely on information from other sources that nearly always had an agenda.
The technology that Atzen discusses in his e-book, The Investment Compass – Empowering Investors in Today’s Market, is Point-and-Figure charting. He uses this methodolgy exclusively in his investment coaching practice.
Investment coaching for Mr. Atzen is about teaching fundamentals, inspiring, encouraging, supporting, sharing his 45 years of investment consulting experience and empowering his clientele.
Currently, Mr. Atzen does independent investment coaching and financial consulting with both corporations and individuals while also writing a novel in his spare time. He also enjoys golf, fly fishing and wooden boat building.
