What is going on with negative interest rates? The bank is going steal my money from my bank account.

Look good

Does French have negative interest rates.

Not exist

In Sweden we have negative interest rates for more than a year now and today they lower it from -0,35 % to -0,50 %

And they not take any Money from you'r bank account, not yet anyway, the Bank still pay for it, but the Bank don't give me any interest anymore on my bank account, so we can say that i don't earn on it... =Bc)

So they didn't steal your money yet? What's the points having a bank account. Since you are not going earn any interest rates? You are better off keep your money under the pillow.

it is in few places and it will be norm in the world . WHY ? Fake printed money , fake jobs , fake economy etc . Prepare for ...MOTHER OF ALL DEPRESSION ...Debt can not be repaid ever , Example , just one ... if Australia can have the best economy ever for every year it will take a 1000 years to repay debt . Same situation is all around world. TRILLIONS IN DEBTS

Simple solution if you're worried about it.....dont use banks.

Most of the negative interest rates is for big banks dealing between themselves, So negative interest rates is an attempt to force banks to loan more to businesses, mortgages etc etc.

Japan has negative interest rates at -0.25% but it does not effect normal people just the money grabbing banks and big businesses.

Not safe to leave huge amounts of money in the bank.


Banks believe when you make deposits in their bank,

Your money now belong to the bank, and your money is now their money.

Cant speak for Murica but in UK my bank account is covered up to £75,000 so if bank goes out of business My money is safe, if you have more than £75,000 kicking around open different accounts with other banks up to £75,000 (actually im not sure about that part you may only get £75,000 protected).

I guess it all depends on how much money you
have and how much money you don't mind losing.

I've always believed the best and closest to no risk
investment is in real estate and primarily in land.

That's what I did.

Banks can fail. Insurance companies can go under.
Stock markets can crash.

Think in terms of what you can't lose and what will
most probable go up in price over time.

Real estates can go under when nobody can afford to buy a house. and building This wy china go under due real estates.

True wealth lies not in money, but in what it affords you.

The most basic theoretical argument for negative rates is that if you make it so unattractive for banks to park money at the central bank they would do something else with it. Like lend it.

I didn't know they were considering that here.

When you have land, you have prosperity, whether anyone wants it or not.
Think about it.

In case of invasion in your country, you can lose your land too

Since the USA own the majority debt from China. Your real estates will be take over by Chinese investor. Since USA have to pay debt.

You actually doesn't own the land if you don't pay yearly taxes.
