    Metals Hearing
    Regarding the issue of position limits for precious metals:
    Dear Sir;
    Regarding the issue of position limits for precious metals:
    Allowing unlimited speculative positions in COMEX silver trading has led to out and out fraud and
    illegal manipulation in my opinion. Please establish a speculative position limit in COMEXsilver
    of no more than 1000- 1500 contracts. Please restrict any and all 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,
    Tom Schuetter
