Gold is better since its value hardly drop. Silver however i would never get involved since im into gold only. Maybe there are other people could help you there. 
Gold in shop cost you 170+ pergram some cutthroat go at least 180+ per gram. If you just want to save it, either you open public bank gold account or you buy gold Kijang coin. But RM 400 will not be sufficent. at the moment gold maintain in market at 150+ per gram. Gold account saving need at least minimum 20g to start thats at least RM3k++.   

RM150++ = 1 gram.

There is this thing called spot price where gold are traded internationally in USD and in troy ounce.

Most banks here that offer gold account usually get the spot price from those source and add in some spread for profit.

Spot gold price is very volatile this week, bargain hunter stay focus! 

Ok thanks for the feedback.

But I thought they will give me a passbook or something, but instead, they gave me an ATM card and an acknowledgement slip only. Is this normal?

i think not all MBB have gold account.

Is it true? I live in bangi.

only pb? so uob and maybank dont have online for this?
yeah, have to take this into consideration as well. i can easily run to a maybank anytime. just beside my office.
if uob, need to look for it pulak 

Read the article carefully. It states that we're looking at the Awareness Stage. That was back in Nov 2010. Meaning they were still at the Stealth Stage at that point in time.

So based on current price increases/drops, i would say that we are probably in the bear trap. But the question is are we at the bottom of the bear trap or just entering? Personally, i dont think we've hit bottom yet. We might hit bottom next week or next month. I think there's still room for more correction to come.
