In today’s episode of Scriptures & Wall Street, Carlos Cortez Jr. delivers a straight-talk market and mindset briefing for the start of 2026. With silver prices surging, stock markets riding euphoria, and volatility sitting at dangerous lows, Carlos asks the question most investors avoid: When is it wise to take profits — before greed turns into loss? He breaks down the emotional trading cycle, explains why markets often punish complacency, and shows why being “right at the top” matters far less than avoiding being wrong at the bottom. Carlos dives into silver’s explosive rise, bank short positioning, AI-driven industrial demand, and why precious metals remain red money — unlimited upside, but unlimited downside if you stay emotionally attached. He then walks listeners through the Covenant Process: balancing red money, managed money, and green money to protect retirement principal while still capturing market growth. Along the way, he calls out bad financial advice, exposes banking and Wall Street risks, and reminds listeners that stewardship, discipline, and faith — not hype — create lasting security. This episode also expands beyond markets into personal responsibility: fitness, family leadership, faith, and refusing complacency in every area of life. Because true wealth isn’t just money — it’s health, conviction, and preparation.
