    Metals Hearing
    Re: Precious metals position limits
    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. We never know
    whether to be long or short on gold and silver based on fundamentals because we never know when the bullion
    banks are going to slam the price into the ground with their unfair (criminal?) behaviour. This should not be
    allowed to continue.
    Sincerely;
    Daphne Blake-Leavitt & S. Ray Leavitt
