    Metals Hearing
    Position Limits for Precious Metals
    Secretary of the Com m ission
    Commodity Futures Trading Commission
    Dear Sir;
    Thank for the opportunity to comment on the very important issue of market position limits for
    precious metals. Please ensure a fair market by establishing a speculative position limit in
    COMEX silver of no more than 1000 contracts. Please restrict any hedging exemptions from
    those limits to legitimate hedgers. Please help put a stop to the levels of concentration in
    COMEX silver futures which have been experienced over the last several years on the short
    side of the market resulting in downward price manipulation.
    Sincerely,
    Mike Baker
