This is solid evidence that the very wealthy in the know realize the house of cards is about to fall. The time frame for all of this happening is very short now. It is going to be time for the Piper to be paid or else.

So when can I get a negative interest rate on a mortgage?

Government employee retirement plans should be forced to buy government bonds. That would place them in a position of eating their own dog food.

HAVE NO FEAR...
The Plunge Protection Team will spend however much of your great-grandchild’s inheritance to insure that the Democrat-connected Billionaires and Oligarch’s are not affected by this.
I mean, it could effect the status of their invite to Tina Brown’s next Manhattan party, and that just cannot be allowed.

In a deflationary spiral the last thing you want to have is a mortgage.

Well then, Sharpton is right.
We need a black Bond.

Maybe. But you won’t be earning enough money to afford the home when it costs $100,000 anyway.

If I have a mortgage today, and my mortgage payments are $1,200 per month, I'm in good shape to make these payments if I'm earning $5,000 per month.
In a deflationary cycle the values of assets and the prices of many things will decline. So I could end up in a position a couple of years from now where my home has lost 20% of its value, my income has declined from $5,000 to $4,000 per month, and I still have to pay $1,200 per month on my mortgage.
That's why it's always better to have a mortgage in an inflationary cycle. You're in a good position if the payment on your mortgage is fixed, but your income and the value of the asset increase over time.

So when can I get a negative interest rate on a mortgage? You can't. But you can have a severely depreciating house.

... providing I have cash Exactly. That's why you're better off sitting on your cash instead of making mortgage payments in a deflationary cycle.
