    Metals Hearing
    Position limits for precious metals
    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.
    This is so important to the integrity of the markets and the CFTC. I'm a
    player just looking to get into the markets. I can tell you that knowing
    whether the CFTC will really use their power to correct these problems will
    change my investment decisions from now on.
    Sincerely,
    D'Anne Blume
