  1.  @doctoronishispsychosislab1474 yes it is real. It's like a credit card, when you overdraft you are essentially borrowing from the bank.

  2.  @jon9103 bonds were losing money anyway through inflation. Lets say at 3% inflation binds sit at 0.5%. If inflation falls to 2%, all else held the same, investors would be willing to take on a -0.5% bond.

  3. Why take those bonds on in the first place? - As the other guy put it, if bonds fell further your bond would become more desirable and would trade at a premium. - It may also be cheaper and safer than putting it in a bank. If interest rates continue to fall, deposit costs could fall further - Certain funds may use it to hedge risk or be forced to buy bonds to satisfy regulations - Foreign investors can use certain financial derivatives to actually turn a negative yielding bond into a positive one
