Precious metals IRAs are often sold as the ultimate safe haven — protection from inflation, market crashes, and government instability. But what if the very strategy designed to protect your retirement is quietly exposing you to hidden fees, limited liquidity, and zero income?

The reality is far more complicated.

As gold and silver experience sharp volatility and the U.S. dollar strengthens, many investors are discovering that precious metals do not always move the way they were promised. In fact, the assumption that metals rise when markets fall is not a guarantee — it’s speculation. And for retirees, speculation can be dangerous.

This episode of Scriptures & Wall Street pulls back the curtain on the precious metals IRA industry, exposing how high commissions, buy/sell spreads, custodial fees, and delayed pricing can significantly impact your retirement. Carlos Cortez Jr. explains why these accounts often function as red money assets — subject to market swings, manipulation through derivatives, and influenced heavily by the strength of the U.S. dollar.

More importantly, the conversation shifts to what actually matters in retirement:

income, principal protection, and consistency.

If your retirement strategy relies on assets that don’t produce income and require you to sell during volatility, you may not have a retirement plan — you have a speculation plan.
