    Proposed Federal Speculative Position Limits

    CFTC Comments
    Dear CFTC Comments:
    I am writing in support of the CFTC's Proposed Federal Speculative
    Position Limits that will reestablish speculative position limits on maj or
    energy commodities. This rule will provide stability to the marketplace
    and help prevent future price bubbles. The CFTC must quickly approve a
    strong rule to protect America's struggling economy, all Street's
    speculative trading in oil not only hurts the economy, but hurts every
    American who pays excessive prices at the pump, for groceries, home
    heating oil and everything related to transportation. Our tax dollars were
    used to bail out large Wall Street firms when they were on the brink of
    bankruptcy. It is these same institutions who gamble on oil and who
    continue to profit at every American's expense.
    Sincerely,
    William Barrett
