Mr. Chairman,
Position limits are one area in which the government has a place in the marketplace. When the price of gasoline, gold, silver or any other commodity can be manipulated by speculation to the extent that we have seen in recent years it is the consumer who suffers. The market should be controlled primarily by supply and demand and the government's role should be to provide the structure for this to occur. Please impose a meaningful position limit that will prevent large speculative groups from manipulating the market any further.
