    Metals Hearing
    position limits, please!
    Dear Sir;
    I would like to make a respectful but impassioned request on the issue of precious metals position
    limits. It is clear that speculative position limits of COMEX silver are necessary to keep the
    exchange from becoming atravesty. Many have suggested limiting positions to 1500 contracts.
    This seems prudent as I fear what will happen if the markets forcibly correct later rather than
    sooner. Hedging exemptions from those limits must also (obviously) be kept to legitimate hedgers.
    Please do the right thing and bring the patently obvious COMEX silver shorting to an end.
    Sincerely,
    David Vernon
