Straight answers before you book anything.
If your question isn't answered here, ask directly — it's the fastest way to get a real answer.
Is Julia Schmitz a licensed financial advisor?
No. Julia is an independent market analyst and educator, not a licensed financial advisor. Her research, commentary, and consultations are for educational purposes and reflect her own analysis. They are not personalized investment advice, and you should consult a licensed advisor for decisions specific to your financial situation.
What markets does Julia cover?
Primarily global macro conditions, equity markets, and digital assets including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, with a particular focus on how these markets relate to and influence one another.
What happens during a private consultation?
A 60-minute video call reviewing your current market thinking, portfolio positioning, and risk exposure, followed by a written summary of the key points discussed. You can send follow-up questions by email for one week afterward.
Will Julia tell me exactly what to buy or sell?
No. The goal of every session is to sharpen your own framework and decision-making process, not to issue specific buy or sell instructions. The final decisions — and their execution — remain entirely yours.
How is the market commentary delivered?
Subscribers receive weekly written commentary covering macro, equities, and digital assets, plus access to a monthly live Q&A session — free of charge, with no minimum commitment.
Does Julia manage money or execute trades on a client's behalf?
No. Julia does not manage assets, hold client funds, or execute trades of any kind. All services provided through this site are research, education, and consultation only.
How quickly will I hear back after booking or messaging?
Julia typically replies within two business days to confirm details and scheduling.
Can I request a topic for future commentary?
Yes. The monthly Q&A sessions regularly draw on topics subscribers submit in advance — send suggestions any time through the contact page.
