    Proposed Federal Speculative Position Limits

    CFTC Comments
    Dear CFTC Comments:
    I fully support the CFTC's Proposed Federal Speculative Position Limits
    reestablishing speculative position limits on major energy commodities.
    This rule will stabilize the marketplace and help prevent future price
    bubbles. The CFTC must quickly approve a strong rule to protect America's
    struggling economy.
    Wall Street speculation involving oil not only hurts the economy, but
    hurts every American who pays excessive prices at the pump, for groceries,
    home heating oil and everything related to transportation.
    Federal funds were used to bail out large Wall Street firms and haul them
    from the brink of bankruptcy. It is these same institutions who gamble on
    oil and who continue to profit at every American's expense.
    I encourage the CFTC to adopt the Proposed Federal Speculative Position
    Limits before volatile fuel prices further harm the country's already
    weakened economy.
    Sincerely,
    Richard DiMatteo
