    Why Gold & Silver Crashed…What to Do Next.

    Precious metals had an incredible run in 2025, and early 2026 continued the momentum. But what we’ve just seen is something very few investors were prepared for: 20–40% pullbacks in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium in a matter of days. In this episode, Gabriel Shahin, CFP®, breaks down what’s really happening in the commodities and precious metals markets, why the volatility has been more extreme than equities, and—most importantly—what investors should not be doing right now. What we cover in this episode: • Why gold, silver, platinum, and palladium surged in 2025 • The real reasons behind the recent sharp pullbacks • Why chasing precious metals after massive gains is dangerous • Gold vs silver vs platinum vs palladium—what’s actually driving demand • The role of dollar devaluation, central banks, and geopolitics • How AI, solar, hydrogen, and EVs affect metals differently • Why metals move in trends—and why investors keep buying at the wrong time • The truth about “gold to $10,000” narratives • How fear, headlines, and social media fuel bad investment decisions Precious metals are not magic investments. They are volatile, cyclical, and often driven by emotion—not fundamentals. Buying after massive run-ups and during hysteria is how long-term wealth gets destroyed. A small allocation can make sense. Betting your future on commodities because of FOMO does not. This episode is a reality check for anyone feeling tempted to chase gold or metals after headline gains. Volatility cuts both ways—and discipline always matters more than excitement. Stay diversified. Stay rational. And don’t gamble with decades of hard work. 📅 Schedule a Free Financial Assessmenthttps://www.falconwealthplanning.com/...🎙️ Follow Gabriel Shahin, CFP®:Website – https://gabrielshahin.com/Instagram – / falconoffin. .LinkedIn – / followgab. .X (Twitter) – https://x.com/falconoffinance?s=21&t=...🔗 Follow Falcon Wealth Planning:Linktree – https://linktr.ee/falconwealthplanningInstagram – / falconwealt. .LinkedIn – / falc. .YouTube – @FalconWealthInc For business or podcast inquiries, please contact: Marketing@falconwp.com-----------------------------------Disclaimer: Advisory services are offered through Falcon Wealth Planning, an SEC registered investment adviser.

    Venezuela After Maduro

    Headlines are exploding with reports that Venezuela is now under U.S. control—and investors are already making the wrong assumptions about what that means for oil, gold, defense stocks, and the broader market.

    The Dark Side of 24/7 Stock Markets

    Big changes may be coming to the stock market—and most investors aren’t ready for them. Nasdaq is exploring 23–24 hour trading, five days a week, potentially launching as early as the second half of 2026. On the surface, nonstop markets sound convenient. In reality, they could fundamentally change how volatility, liquidity, and investor behavior work. In this episode, Gabriel Shahin, CFP®, breaks down what extended trading hours really mean for your portfolio—and why this shift could benefit institutions far more than everyday investors. What you’ll learn:  • What 23–24 hour Nasdaq trading would actually look like  • Why global participation and faster reactions to news are seen as positives  • How after-hours liquidity and wide bid/ask spreads can hurt execution prices  • Why higher volatility disproportionately impacts retail investors  • The risk of impulse trading and “always-on” market behavior  • How earnings reactions, overnight news, and geopolitical events could amplify swings  • Operational challenges for brokerages, custodians, and mutual funds  • Why institutions may gain an even bigger advantage over individual traders More trading hours don’t automatically mean better outcomes. Liquidity, discipline, and execution matter far more than access—and nonstop markets could increase costs, volatility, and emotional decision-making for retail investors. This change isn’t happening tomorrow, but it is coming. Understanding the risks now is critical to protecting your long-term strategy as markets evolve. 📅 Schedule a Free Financial Assessmenthttps://www.falconwealthplanning.com/...🎙️ Follow Gabriel Shahin, CFP®:Website – https://gabrielshahin.com/Instagram – / falconoffin. .LinkedIn – / followgab. .X (Twitter) – https://x.com/falconoffinance?s=21&t=...🔗 Follow Falcon Wealth Planning:Linktree – https://linktr.ee/falconwealthplanningInstagram – / falconwealt. .LinkedIn – / falc. .YouTube – @FalconWealthInc For business or podcast inquiries, please contact: Marketing@falconwp.com-----------------------------------Disclaimer: Advisory services are offered through Falcon Wealth Planning, an SEC registered investment adviser.
