How It Came About

Filters: The Most Pragmatic Guide to Stock Market Investing is a result of years of research. It's a guide I wish I had before having to write it.

About the Author

Dovydas Macijauskas is an international business professional with experience in strategy, finance, and marketing. Born a generalist, he always enjoyed learning about different subjects, with a particular passion for investing. Surprised by the lack of concise, practical, and legitimate information sources on stock market investing, he began compiling knowledge from books, courses, podcasts, and other authoritative sources. After more than 3 years, his obsession turned into this very guide.

FAQs

Where is the Filters guide available?

The simplest way to get the digital copy is to buy it on this website, but it's also available on Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Gumroad. The print version is only available on Amazon (US, CA, UK, AU, DE, NL, FR, ES, IT, JP, PL, SE).

How long will it take for me to read it?

The guide contains under 200 pages in print and under 100 pages in PDF format! This has been done to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio and deliver value in the shortest possible format. It will take about 2-3 hours to read, but it's best to use it in practice or as a go-to resource.

I’m a complete beginner. Can it be difficult for me to understand it?

I worked hard to make this guide accessible to both beginners and practitioners, so this shouldn't be a problem. However, if you have no finance or business background, you might have to look up some concepts and terms found in some parts of the guide.

Do you have a money-back guarantee policy?

Yes, a money-back guarantee is offered for the digital copy purchased on the website. I'm confident that you will find this book valuable. If for any reason you don't, please contact me within 14 days of your purchase and you will receive a full refund, no questions asked.

How long will it take to arrive? How much does shipping cost?

The digital copy can be downloaded immediately after payment. For the print copy, shipping costs and estimated delivery times will be available at checkout on Amazon.

How environmentally sustainable is the product?

The print version is print-on-demand, which means Amazon prints each copy for each order. This eliminates waste and saves storage space. Also, you can buy the digital copy rather than the paperback.
