    Metals Hearing
    position limits
    Secretary of the Commission
    Commodity Futures Trading Commission
    Dear Sir;
    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 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. [] It makes it very difficult for the average investor to have confidence in
    the precious metals market.
    Sincerely,
    C. Robert Wood
