I urge you to curb excessive gambling in commodities markets like food and oil.
We cannot afford a repeat of the 2008 food and gas price bubbles, so the CFTC should put in place strong position limits to control excessive gambling.
The CFTC should not allow exemptions or exceptions that undermine the rule, and should not give any exemptions to banks, hedge funds or other financial players.
As a government tax-payer funded agency, your responsibilities are to the citizens of the United States of American. It’s time to see regulations that reflect this fact.
Thank you for your consideration,
Leslie Potts
