Negative Interest Rates Are On The Table
 

Yellen Says Fed Evaluating Possibility of Negative Rates in U.S. - Bloomberg Business

Yellen is trying to appease while markets sell off big time and meanwhile gold is exploding. This is how desperate the US economy is right now; it looks like they're going to take interest rates negative. It's hard for some people to comprehend even though rates are negative in Japan, Sweden, Switzerland etc. Can you imagine -2% interest rates?

You have $10,000 in your bank account and at the end of the year, you lose $200 in interest so you're left with $9,800. That's the reason they're so keen to ban cash ie they want your money trapped in the bank or spent so it helps boost economic activity.

you keep posting that. even though you were wrong about japan. stop reading zerohedge. its just fear mongering with ads.

Wrong about Japan?

Bank of Japan cuts key interest rate into negative territory - Jan. 28, 2016

It just came out of Yellen's mouth:

Janet Yellen: Negative rates possible in U.S. - Feb. 11, 2016

She re-iterated it today but FED governors have been talking about it all week.

On the contrary its one of the few reliable sources for the awake and they predicted negative rates were coming "long, long ago in a galaxy, far far away" :1orglaugh

The BOJ is paying the Japanese banks to take money from it.
The BOJ wants to devalue the Yen.
Why: to lower the price of Japanese exports.

Devaluation is the only ''hidden tax'' here.

I suspect all this intervention by central banks will lead to a .........

VERY unhappy ending.

Dude, you have no brain and there is no point wishing for one.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. :1orglaugh

Oh and you're also a FUCKING IDIOT.

Right now, they're in their "preparing the people" mode:

Fischer: Negative Rates Working More Than Expected | Watch the video - Yahoo Finance

it's not if, it's when. i'm thinking 2017

i didn't even say that. its from the thread you posted about japan doing it back in november. you are always posting negativity about the world but most specifically about the US. i can only imagine you are a very sad person.

I'm posting news so fucking deal with it. If you can't handle the truth, get the fuck out of my thread. :321GFY

I don't think we will go negative... it's all a misdirection... as always,...

Better chance of Yellen doing anal porn than there is of Yellen getting negative rates in place.

Me thinks you are right !:2 cents:

sounds like you need your diaper changed. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Marc Faber: Over 5000 Years We've Never Had Negative Interest Rates



Funny thing is when negative rates get implemented (properly), most people STILL wont get it until they see their first bank statement with funds going out due to the negative interest rate. Bank's are going to have to double down on educating people about what's happening.

Quit watching FOX news. They are owned by Wall street.

Sure but the good news is Marc Faber ain't.

Sadly with negative rates, even though they wont impact people straight away, eventually as they go further into negative territory they will cut into savings and the people who get the hurt the most are pensioners. It's always old people and pensioners who have no clue about the current markets etc etc who get killed by this kind of thing - if they haven't been already with zero rates.

Quick, spend all your cash.:winkwink:

That's the whole point. They WANT you to spend more of your money because keeping it in the bank is costing you and therefore by encouraging spending there is an increase in economic activity and therefore (supposedly) the economy.

Inflation plus zero % interest rate might as well be negative already

:2 cents::thumbsup - I almost shit the bed yesterday when I was checking conversion rates and the yen is about to catch up with the dollar...again. No likey likey.
Drop that value and buy our stuff, world!!!
