    Metals Hearing
    Please set and enforce position limits in the silver futures
    Dear Chairman Gensler and Commissioners;
    Thank you for holding the very informative and interesting open hearing on the metals
    complex on
    March
    25
    th,
    2010.
    Please consider the following steps the CFTC can take to increase fairness to the silver
    futures market:
    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 only.
    Legitimate hedgers should be able to prove their case for an exemption.
    Please stop the high levels of concentration by 1-2 players in the COMEX silver
    futures that have persisted over the past few years on the short side of the market.
    Sincerely,
    Ryan Chennault
