    Metals Hearing
    COMEX Silver position limits
    Dear Sir;
    I am in favor of the establishment equitable speculative position limits in COMEX silver, both
    long and short. It looks to me like this should be in the area of 1500 contracts, maybe less.
    Please restrict any hedging exemptions from those limits to legitimate hedgers. JP Morgan
    Chase sure doesn't look like a legitimate hedger to me. Regardless, the levels of short
    concentration in COMEX silver futures are way out of line and need to be corrected.
    Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this.
    Regards,
    Steve
