CFTC,
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
For anybody that has no intent of taking physical delivery, they are prevented from accumulating a position that is 125% of the total deliverable supply. What sort of a limit is that?? That's like trying to limit the damage from auto accidents by limiting freeway speeds to 'no more than' 175 mph.
Also, anybody who might want to actually buy the physical is limited to 25%. The outer limits of this game have been exclusively reserved for speculators and manipulators.
