How to Tax Your Short-Term Bonds
Gold is taxed only when you would sell it at a profit because it doesn't pay an income. Short-term bonds are paying significant amounts of interest so they should go in your IRA or 401k for now. Commodities and managed futures typically pay significant distributions at the end of the year based on whatever transactions went on there for the full year. Those can also go in a Roth but again I would not expect those to be having lots of growth potential.
