    Metals Hearing
    position limits on silver
    Dear Sir,
    Thank 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.
    I am a private investor in the silver market for many years, and have been
    just
    waiting for the CFTC to be given
    enough evidence to stop this crime in the silver and gold markets respectively. I listened intently to the hearing
    held on the 25
    th
    of March and was completely dismayed that with the whistleblower evidence that had been
    provided to the CFTC had been seemingly ignored. Also I found that the 1\100 ratio of paper to physical silver
    absolutely disgraceful.
    If this is not enough evidence to show fraudulent activity within this market then I don't know what is. Even the
    manipulators have self confessed that the metals market is a paper market. If position limits are not imposed
    than the exposure will gain momentum till breaking point. I believe the CFTC was founded to be the prevention
    of such activities in which now the CFTC has clear evidence to do so..
    I hope you find the strength to act accordingly and stop this crime.
    Regards
    Jason
