    Metals Hearing
    Secretary of the Commission (Position limits for precious metals )
    Dear Sir;
    Thank for the opportunity to comment on the issue of position limits for
    precious metals.
    I saw the meeting held on the CFTC meeting 3/25/2010 on Youtube when
    Adrian Douglas exposes LBMA OTC on the physical Silver and Gold Markets
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXQ6YqyjrlM
    Was that talk of a double short of 100:1 (long and short)?
    Hedging 100:1 (x2?) on both Silver and Gold Contracts verses actual
    Physical that can't be delivered is day light robbery.
    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.
    Sincerely,
    David Bennison
    PS: I hope you have asked for delivery yourself. I noticed most
    attendees of that meeting were smiling over the news :)
