There's nothing Carnage would like more than to walk away from the UK with a £1m a year pension and knowledge he's blown up the biggest asset bubbles in history through ZIRP and QE.

With negative interest rates he can complete the job he started.

Buy gold, property and any other real assets.

But not yet. Wait till the negative interest rate, when they pay you to borrow money to buy the assets.

Buy assets that are already in a bubble? There's a reason why the poor stay poor. Rich dad, poor dad. Read it. Read it now before you burn what little wealth remains in the family.

Did you ask yourself why pension funds are purchasing negative yielding bonds and not property assets? Gold?

Japan only survived this period because of the carry trade with the rest of the world, now that everyone is doing it there will be very different consequences.

Will only be available to financial institutions; don't believe the stories.
