    Metals Hearing
    A comment on the issue of position limits for precious metals
    Dear Sir;
    I was flabbergasted by the revelations of Andrew Maguire, the London
    metals trader, who coached your CFTC through a massive manipulation of
    the silver market in 2008. It is your obligation to stop this.
    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,
    Eric Grose
