    Metals Hearing
    CFTC Metals Positon Limits
    April 8, 2010
    Dear Sir;
    Thanks for the opportunity to comment on the issue of position limits for precious metals. 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.
    The possible price-influencing actions of the current massive contract positions is decidedly unfair
    to small investors such as myself, and I would appreciate appropriate levels of control being
    enforced.
    Thanks,
    Gene Pitsenbarger
