    Metals Hearing
    metals position limits
    Dear Sirs:
    I am writing a short note to ask that you establish position limits on futures trading at the
    COMEXin gold and silver--especially silver. Idon't know what that limit should be, but the amount
    of contracts (short) by especially JP Morgan and HSBC has to qualify as manipulative. I have seen
    charts of annual production of various commodities and silver by far has the largest short position
    compared to annual production. Ican bet there would be action if this concentration was on the
    long side (Hunt brothers 1979-80) Iama small investor who periodically takes positions in GLD
    and SLVand I can't help but feel the deck is stacked against me. Thank you for reading this.
