<<Is it possible that the true market rate of interest is zero or negative?>>

When real inflation exceeds short term interest rates we have negative real interest rates. That's when stocks and bonds go down the toilet at the same time and its time for gold. We are entering this phase now.

The only thing that's slowing gold down is the existence of a new kind of 'fractional reserve' gold banking system caused by gold lending and gold investment in electronic form. The same gold can be sold many times keeping the price in check.
