Have you heard of “negative interest rates?”
It’s become a phenomenon with economists and the media. There’s a good chance you’ve read an article about it.  But I’m writing to tell you something about negative interest rates you haven’t heard. You certainly won’t hear about it in the mainstream press.
What’s coming at you is a historic event. It’s something our grandchildren will hear stories about...much like the Great Depression or the Cold War.
What’s coming could send the price of gold much higher in the coming years. If you know what’s coming, it could mean the difference between having lots of free cash in retirement or barely getting by. To understand the gravity of this moment, let’s cover one of the most bizarre ideas in the world...

While there’s been a lot of attention focused on gold over the last few months, silver has remained in the shadows. The white metal has lagged a bit behind as the gold market turned bullish over the last few months. But there are some good reasons to take a close look at silver.
According to Bloomberg, silver has advanced 10% since the first of the year while gold surged 18%. But dynamics look good for silver to close that gap:
Silver hasn’t been so cheap relative to gold for more than seven years and with mine supplies forecast to contract this year that may be a sign it’s ready to come out of the yellow metal’s shadow.”

THE BUMS ORCHESTRATE A GOLD AND SILVER RAID...

Now that's what you call Fed Transparency!

With apologies to Freddy Mercury and Queen, it looks like another one has just bit the dust.
You can now add the Japanese central bank to the list of banks that have ventured deep into negative interest rate territory with the sale of a negative rate bond.
The Swiss are already languishing in that territory with negative rates out on their 20 year bond – if you can believe it. Steve Barrow, a G10 strategist at Standard Bank tells us that there will be others soon enough. He contends that, “Germany will get there as well, and yields will continue falling, going negative where they aren’t negative.”

No matter what kind of negative economic data comes out, President Obama, central bankers, and media analysts gloss over it and point to the “great” jobs numbers as evidence the US economy is doing well. But in reality, it's all smoke and mirrors.
Last Friday, the media reported “better than expected” labor numbers with more than 200,000 jobs added in February and a low 4.9% unemployment. But as Peter Schiff pointed out in his Schiff Report video blog over the weekend, it was really a terrible jobs report.
The reports are only good superficially. Once you look beneath the surface, and believe me, it's a very thin layer, you find out how meaningless the numbers are.”
Despite the added jobs, average hourly earnings dropped. Analysts expected the number to rise 0.2%. Instead, hourly earnings dropped 0.1. On top of that, hours worked fell from 34.6 hours to 34.4. Looking at the data together shows weekly earnings fell 0.7%. That represents the biggest drop in weekly earnings...
