Metals Hearing

My Recomendations based on the CFTC Meeting on 25Apr10
1. I compliment the CFTC for holding the subject hearing, however as a silver & gold coin holder for over l0
years (75% of my retirement money is in these coins), I fear it may be too little, too late unless substantial
changes are made to the existing procedures regarding position limits and the concentration in silver and gold.
2. I have worked long and hard to earn my retirement savings, now I am 80 years old and I see only that my
retirement purchasing power is steadily declining substantially. For example, see graphs of
Friday's (17 April), 24 hour spot silver and gold charts from Kitco. This is a common example of flagrant
destuction of my retirement savings ( after 40 years in the aerospace & defense industry) which, for me is
irreplaceable. Although it was "only" 1.6% down in gold and 2.7% down in silver (each within a period of
less than 2 hours!). This timing is not indicative of mass selling throughout the day by the "little guys" but by
the "big money" with one phone call!
3. I AM BEING ROBBED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AND NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!
4. I see the CFTC as my only hope to control this flagrant, criminal behavior. You are on the right path.
Godspeed!!!
