FYI. buying physical silver in malaysia is not "investment". the term has been manupilated heavily by unscroupulous silver/gold agents to brainwash the general public into buying their products.

so, what is it then? it depends why you want to buy silver at the first. many reasons for many people.

the good news is buying silver is a no brainer, so no deep research need to be done. the only thing you need to know is where to buy so you won't get conned. 

Gold and silver buyers should buy with the intention of keeping the value of your current money or hedging against inflation, and not to buy to "invest" to make money. Having incorrect psychology may cause a lot of disappointment to investors. For example:  2kg of gold worth RM350K today, can buy a medium cost condo in KL. By the time 2kg gold value doubles to RM700K, the same condo would also be worth RM700K.

Just look how long it took gold to double to today's value of $1800/oz. When it first hit $900/oz in early 2008, the same condo of RM350K today was worth about RM180-RM200K in early 2008. Similarly, a plate of RM6 mixed rice today would cost about RM3.50-RM4.00 then. Of course, not all items inflated in equal rate, but overall, except fiat currency and salary (also paid in fiat currency), almost everything else moved up in tendam.

So, do not expect the gold that can buy you a car today can buy you a house in 5 years time. But if it does happen that way, we wouldn't mind bcoz we all would have got a big bonus then.

actually investor can still hit the jackpot if they investing on gold/silver using leverage,
high-risk-high-return, when you hit the jackpot then you will be wealth in short period of time.
usually those big market player can have this game on their portfolio but small investor always have no idea on just what going on..
