    Metals Hearing
    CFTC meeting on March 25th
    Dear Sir;
    Thank you 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.[] I do find it appalling that large banks are allowed to take such
    extreme short positions to essentially suppress the price of silver.[] Please end this manipulation.
    Sincerely,
    Ryan Crawford
