    Metals Hearing
    ref: Proposed Federal Speculative Position
    Attn: David Stawick, Secretary, Commodity Futures Trading Commission
    For the comment period concerning position limits for precious
    metals: It appears that this market has been unregulated for too long
    and it is my opinion that a speculative position limit in COMEX traded
    silver be limited to less than 1501 positions. All traders,
    legitimate hedgers and otherwise should be subject to this limit.
    There appears to be too much concentration in silver futures on the
    short side.
