    Metals Hearing
    position limits for COMEX silver
    Secretary of the Commission
    Commodity Futures Trading Commission
    Dear Commissioners:
    I understand that the Commission is considering the need for position limits for COMEX silver. I wish
    to support the view of Ted Butler and others that a limit of no more than 1500 contracts be
    established and that hedging exemptions be seriously restricted. My understanding is that the market
    is manipulated by a few very large traders with short positions and this seems contrary to the spirit of
    a free market. I hope you can do something to level the playing field for small investors in precious
    metals.
    Sincerely,
    Bill Graham
