    Metals Hearing
    Metals position limits
    To Whom it Concerns,
    I have been a coin collector since Iwasa kid. But, that's about the extent of mine precious metals
    experience!
    Having said that, I would have to say that as I followed the CFTC events last week in Washington
    DC, I was shocked to find out how little physical metal covers the vast amount of financial activity
    that is taking place.
    The simple solution I would propose you consider is that as far as possible, the precious metals
    market should transition toa real, physical market. That is, when a metal is sold, it should be
    delivered as such to the customer, or phsycially accounted for at an independent, auditable 3rd
    party. This will eliminate the fraud that is being committed by those selling things that they do not
    have. I mean, do we allow the military to fight wars with guns that fire bullets that they don't yet
    have?!
    This is insane. You owe it to us, we the people, to return us to some semblance of an honest
    market place.
    Sincerely,
    Franklin V. Cobos II
