    Metals Hearing
    Position Limits in COMEX silver market.
    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.
    The current situation is not fair as it allows those with excessively large short
    positions to manipulate the market to their favor.
    Sincerely,
    Francisco J. Farach
