Comment Text:
I am urging the Commission to fully implement the limits on speculation on food and energy in order to avoid food and energy price bubbles. Naturally, Wall Street is lobbying the CFTC to not establish these limits. However recent experience has amply demonstrated the devastating effects of this type of speculation. In many parts of the world, excessive fluctuation in food and energy prices is literally a matter of life and death. Here at home it is a cause of hardship for people of limited means. Hedge funds and other financial players should not be given an exemption from the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act.
Thank you for your consideration.
