    Metals Hearing
    Comment to the issue of position limits for precious metals
    To the
    Secretary of Commission
    Commodity Futures Trading Commission
    Three Lafayette Centre
    1155 21 st Street NW
    Washington, DC 20581
    Dear Sir;
    Thanks for the opportunity to comment on the issue of position limits for precious metals.
    Although I live in Germany I would like to ask you for the following:
    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.
    Thank you very much for your efforts.
    Sincerely,
    Werner K16pel
