    Metals Hearing
    Proposed Federal Speculative Position
    Dear Mr Stawick, Gensler et al,
    Thank for the opportunity to comment on the issue of position limits for precious metals. Please establish a
    speculative position limit in COMEX silver of no more than 1500 contracts. Please restrict any hedging
    exemptions from those limits as well 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.
    In this age of computerization, I would also like to see all available information pertaining to the market being
    made available on a daily basis. Obfuscation and delays favor the concentrated shorts. I was one of those
    who was shorn in the silver meltdown courtesy of JP Morgan.
    Thank you for your efforts to obtain some much needed integrity for the metals markets.
    Sincerely,
    Steve Skinner
