    Metals Hearing
    Comment Regarding Silver Market Position Limits
    Dear Sir;
    Thank for the opportunity to comment on the issue of position limits for precious metals.
    I am a former Commodity Trading Advisor, so I have more than a passing interest in this matter. I am urging that
    the Commission act in a manner that will improve the integrity of the markets and lessen the possibilities of
    market manipulation.
    Please establish a speculative position limit in COMEX silver of no more than 1500 contracts. Please restrict any
    hedging exemptions from those limits to legitimate hedgers. Please stop the levels of concentration in COMEX
    silver futures that have been experienced over the past few years on the short side of the market.
    This action is overdue and I look forward to the commission doing the right thing to correct this
    situation.
    Sincerely,
    Mike Carr
    President
