Dear Sir,
As a concerned citizen and investors, I watched with interest the CFTC Hearing concerning position
limits in the precious metals market. It is important to end the practice of price suppression of
silver and gold by a few large players through their purchase of large short positions. 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,
James P. Mulkey
Roswell, NM
