and will it turn out a bigger yeild? how do YOU think i should invest it?

I would invest in Mutual Funds

and if your buddy told you to go jump off a bridge?????
Why cash them?

Hi Pope............

Gold is gold. It will always have value but its value fluctuates. It will never have more value than it will in times of crises. If you believe the economy is about to collapse, gold is good, i.e., gold is for the pessimistic investors among us yet every
investment portfolio should have some, even a little However, if you are more optmistic and you don't have a lot of savings or extra cash to buy some gold, leave the savings bonds intact.

I think you really need a balanced portfolio, gold has done well recently some say it will go on rising, my own opinion is do not put new money into equities, hold cash deposits "cash is king"...have some investments in gold either bullion or a mutual fund & keep the bonds, in general Id suggest you be cautious .
