    Metals Hearing
    Position limits for precious metals
    Att: Secretary of the Commission:
    First of all, thank you for holding the March hearing regarding position limits for precious metals. It
    was an eye-opener in many, many respects.
    I also appreciate the opportunity to make my views known to the Commission, specifically regarding
    silver. I believe a speculative position limit not exceeding 1,500 contracts should be established in
    COMEX silver. Legitimate hedgers should receive exemptions, so long as they do not pose problems of
    undue concentration.
    The bulk of the short selling in COMEX silver futures during the past several years has been
    concentrated in only a few banks, with J.P.Morgan the glaring example. It's high time such market
    manipulation ends.
    Sincerely/,
    Robert M. Dillon
