New York - Let's say you are holding 30-year Treasury bonds that mature in five years. The bonds pay 7 1/8 percent and trade at a premium due to the current low interest rate environment. Many investors are curious as to whether or not they should take the capital gain and invest the proceeds in new Treasuries. Here is our take.

If you are using the bonds to produce income - you probably should hold the bonds. If you sold the bonds and reinvested the proceeds in new bonds, your income level would decline to whatever the current interest rates are paying.

If you are using the bonds to produce capital gains and you believe interest rates will decline further - you may want to consider selling the bonds and buying bonds that mature longer than five years. This allows you to capture future additional capital gains that would result if interest rates decline.
