    Metals Hearing
    Silver Regulations
    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's my opinion (and that of many of my colleagues) that these concentrated short positions have
    limited liquidity and artificially supressed the "fair" market price of silver.
    Sincerely,
    Darren Abramson
