Sirs:
Where are the regulators? Are you trying to destroy America’s middle class? You must stop market manipulation by greedy traders who care not one whit about our country’s decline, but only about lining their pockets with the day’s lucre! Stop speculators from interfering with honest trading, resulting in raising the cost of food and energy! Are there no “watchdogs”, as Congress has directed?
Is America being run into the ground by Wall Street greed? Don’t consumers mean a single thing to these heartless manipulators? Commodities should be traded by companies using the products, not by people without a conscience who worship money and thumb their noses at rules and regulations which are meant to protect consumers and the entire population.
Lobbyists have no place in Wall Street, and certainly should not have influence with you, The Commodities Futures Trading Commission! Please please please---impose position limits that are meaningful, and will put a stop to this disastrous practice! This is not honest trading, this is stealing from our future !
