In this episode of Scriptures & Wall Street, Carlos Cortez delivers an unfiltered deep dive into the growing risks surrounding gold IRAs, silver price manipulation, and emotionally driven retirement decisions. After a volatile week in the precious metals market, Carlos breaks down why silver and gold—while valuable—are speculative, non-income-producing assets, and why relying on them exclusively for retirement can be dangerous. He explains how big banks, naked shorts, CME margin hikes, and dollar manipulation are impacting silver prices, often at the expense of everyday investors. You’ll learn: • Why precious metals IRAs are not guaranteed or protected • The difference between store of value vs. income-producing assets • How childhood trauma and emotional investing affect financial decisions • Why retirement planning is about income, consistency, and guarantees • How “green money” strategies can provide protected principal and lifetime income • What AI, automation, and market volatility mean for your long-term financial security Carlos also connects faith, discipline, psychology, and stewardship with modern financial planning, emphasizing the importance of de-risking portfolios as markets become more volatile and manipulated. If you currently hold gold, silver, a precious metals IRA, a 401(k), or cash sitting in the bank, this episode challenges conventional wisdom and offers a framework for turning fear-based assets into predictable retirement income.

SCRIPTURES AND WALLSTREET – TURNING YOUR PRECIOUS METALS INTO INCOME
In today’s episode of Scriptures & Wall Street, Carlos Cortez Jr. tackles a hard truth many precious-metal owners don’t want to hear: silver and gold are great stores of value — but terrible sources of retirement income. As silver whipsaws with volatility and paper markets manipulate pricing, Carlos explains why simply “stacking” metals without a plan can leave retirees exposed, stressed, and without cash flow when they need it most. Carlos walks through real chart examples, trading setups, and hedging strategies to show how professionals make money during both silver rallies and silver crashes — but makes it clear that this style of trading is not for retirees. The real message is stewardship: knowing when to take profits, how to convert a portion of metals into principal-protected green money contracts, and how to create guaranteed lifetime income outside banks and Wall Street. From IRA conversions and tax-free retirement buckets to banking risks and the illusion of safety, this episode is a blueprint for turning static metal holdings into active financial security. In This Episode, You’ll Learn • Why precious metals are red money (unlimited upside, unlimited downside) • Why silver and gold do not produce retirement income on their own • How traders hedge silver using leveraged ETFs and options • The difference between stacking metals and stewarding wealth • Why precious-metals IRAs can trap retirees in volatility • How to convert a portion of metals into guaranteed income • What a green-money insurance contract actually does • How to protect principal outside banking and securities laws • Why banks legally own the money you deposit • How IRA conversion strategies can create tax-free retirement income • The difference between infinite banking and proper cash-value design • Why discipline, faith, and stewardship apply to finances • How to think about metals as insurance, not a retirement plan 📖 Scripture of the Day “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” — Proverbs 21:5 FREE tax calculator http://corteztaxbill.com GALLUP -The CliftonStrengths® 34 Report https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/403127/cliftonstrengths-34-report.aspx ———————————————————————————————————— Schedule a consultation today! https://cortezwm.com Learn More About America First Retirement https://americafirstretirementplan.com/ Get your own private insurance account! https://privateinsuredaccount.com/ ———————————————————————————————————— Follow us on Rumble! https://rumble.com/c/c-5319252 Follow us on twitter! https://twitter.com/scrptrandwallst Like & Subscribe our Channels ———————————————————————————————————— Rumble https://rumble.com/user/ScripturesAndWallstreet Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@ScripturesAndWallstreet Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0d0qrDco0pTfSjeaLEa6Ux?si=2M13CUTkQBC6mWa7B0vWrA X https://x.com/scrptrandwallst ———————————————————————————————————— Support the show!

SCRIPTURES AND WALLSTREET – PRO SILVER, BUT SELLING SILVER: DISCIPLINE,, THE NEW FED CHAIR
In today’s episode of Scriptures & Wall Street, Carlos Cortez Jr. delivers a powerful mix of market reality, personal vulnerability, and biblical stewardship. While many voices online scream “buy more silver,” Carlos does the opposite — explaining why being pro-silver long term does not mean refusing to take profits when emotion turns into greed. As silver experiences a violent reversal, Carlos walks through real-time charts, volatility signals, and leveraged inverse ETFs that prove why discipline matters more than hype. But this episode goes deeper than markets. Carlos opens his heart about fatherhood, ego, spiritual growth, and preparing to step into a men’s faith retreat to become a better husband, father, and leader. He connects this personal journey to a biblical lesson from Acts 5 about greed, deception, and stewardship — showing how the same spiritual principles apply directly to money, investing, and retirement decisions. Carlos also explains how the new Fed Chair, a rising dollar, and market manipulation are directly impacting silver prices, banks, and volatility. He reminds listeners that they do not need to live inside this chaos — because principal-protected green money strategies exist outside of banking and Wall Street risk. This episode is about truth: truth in markets, truth in faith, truth in self-reflection, and truth in stewardship. In This Episode, You’ll Learn • Why being pro-silver does not mean refusing to sell at extreme highs • How silver’s “death cross” signaled a violent pullback in real time • What CSL (the inverse silver ETF) revealed about market manipulation • Why the U.S. dollar pumping causes silver to drop • How banks and futures markets control commodity liquidity • Why emotional attachment to metals can erase gains • The impact of the new Fed Chair on markets and liquidity • Why volatility (VIX) is rising and what that means for stocks and metals • The biblical lesson from Acts 5 about greed and stewardship • How ego, discipline, and self-reflection mirror financial decisions • Why retirement money should not live in red-money speculation • How green-money contracts protect principal outside banking laws • The dangers of holding precious metals inside IRAs • Why preparation is wisdom, not fear 📖 Scripture of the Day “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.” — Proverbs 13:11 FREE tax calculator http://corteztaxbill.com GALLUP -The CliftonStrengths® 34 Report https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/403127/cliftonstrengths-34-report.aspx ———————————————————————————————————— Schedule a consultation today! https://cortezwm.com Learn More About America First Retirement https://americafirstretirementplan.com/ Get your own private insurance account! https://privateinsuredaccount.com/ ———————————————————————————————————— Follow us on Rumble! https://rumble.com/c/c-5319252 Follow us on twitter! https://twitter.com/scrptrandwallst Like & Subscribe our Channels ———————————————————————————————————— Rumble https://rumble.com/user/ScripturesAndWallstreet Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@ScripturesAndWallstreet Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0d0qrDco0pTfSjeaLEa6Ux?si=2M13CUTkQBC6mWa7B0vWrA X https://x.com/scrptrandwallst ———————————————————————————————————— Support the show!
