(Click the picture above for a larger view)

The chart above should be a major concern for any serious investor. The data in the chart is supplied by the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis. The current negative interest rates are calculated by subtracting the 5-year treasury note interest rate from current inflation. Depending on your view of current inflation, we are either in slightly negative territory or approaching double digit negative territory for real interest rates.
