Bank accounts are relatively safe, but your dollars may lose value due to inflation faster than they grow with interest. Investing in stocks for the short term is a gamble. It the stock market crashes the day before you need your money to buy the house, you are screwed. Gold prices go up and down, but unlike stocks, (and possibly the dollar) gold will never be worthless. In the long run I thing gold prices will rise substantially, since our government seems bent on inflationary policies. However,over a short period of time the value of the gold you buy may be more or less than you paid. Grandpa Gold really glitters when inflation runs rampant.

Historically, the stock market has FAR outpaced gold. Also, gold has been at a high for the last couple of years, so now is not the time to buy it (if there ever was). Buy quality mutual funds or ETFs. Invest regularly and over time your money will grow. NO NO NO. CERTAINLY NOT as a short-term investment. Put is in a money market fund. Terrible idea.
