    As we have gone from 20% speculative trading to 60% speculative trading by non commercial
    producers and the number of contacts have multiplied from millions to trillions and the positions and
    price effect are not even known because
    of the freedom to pretend that ICe usa trades are somehnow
    under london rules you have alilowed the futures market, especailly energy to become one of the
    darkest and most price influential forms of trade in trading history. That these large OTC trades are not
    cleared transparently they cannot be regulated and we, the 300 mililion in america who use energy are
    at the mercy of a secret market that must be regulated. Even margins on these futures are as low as
    six%. Six percent?! How can you allow the CFTC to continue this practice and expect anything to
    change in the form of manipulation of oil, food, and other commodoties that the world depends on for
    survival. These energy and food commodoties have not even been explained or debated. You must
    regulate all commodoty trading, especially the size of postitions by the monster banks and their
    subsidia ries.
