OPEN LETTER TO THE CFTC
February 23, 2011
Commodities Futures Trading Commission
3 Lafayette Center
1155 21st St. NW Washington, DC 50581
Re: Final Position Limits Letter
Dear Commissioners:
Our relationship goes back many years as I have continually voiced my displeasure about the continued fraud and manipulation taking place on the COMEX in gold and especially in SILVER. Here are links to some of my more recent letters I've written you:

I'm going to make this comment VERY short and to the point unlike my tirades thrown in your direction in the past....
Fair and appropriate position limits in silver should be NO MORE than 1,500 contracts or 7.5M ounces! The current proposed limit of over 5,000 contracts WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF MANIPULATION IN SILVER! The 1,500 contract limit is the correct amount and is STILL greater than any other current concentration in physical commodities traded on the COMEX.
Do the right thing...
FIX THE PROBLEM WITH NO MORE THAN 1,500 CONTRACTS IN SILVER!

Aren't you people getting paid by our tax dollars to protect the public from fraud in the futures markets, because so far the futures markets in Gold and Silver are a total joke, which makes you and your commission a complete farce?
Are you also bought off like the rest of our government, because if not then you are incompetent and should all be replaced? The manipulation in these two markets has gone on for years and you have done nothing to stop it.
If you edit my comments I will understand that you are indeed as fraudulent as those who manipulate the markets. The people are watching.
Sincerely,
Troy Danella
