Die öffentliche Anhörung der CFTC zu den vorgeschlagenen positionlimits für Silber an der COMEX läuft noch bis zum 28. März.
Vorgeschlagen sind ca. 5000 Kontrakte. Das entspricht etwa 25 Millionen Unzen Silber. Das ist horrender Wahnsinn!
Schreibt an die CFTC, dass das Limit auf 1500 Kontrakte gesetzt werden soll.
Hier das Musterschreiben von Ted Butler:
"Dear Chairman Gensler and fellow Commissioners:
I urge you to approve the staff’s proposal on position limits, including limiting exemptions to bona fide hedgers. I would ask you, however, to readjust the proposed formula in silver. The current formula would result in a position limit of over 5,000 contracts for any single speculator, on an all-months-combined basis. 5,000 contracts is the equivalent of 25 million ounces of silver. This is too high of a threshold in light of the realities of the world silver market.
There are only three mining companies in the world who produce more than 25 million ounces of silver per year and only a similar number of industrial consumers using more than that amount. Any speculator holding an amount of silver derivatives greater than what 99% of the world’s silver producers and consumers make or use in a year would have inordinate pricing power. The purpose of speculative position limits is to prevent such a circumstance.
Please institute a 1500 contract (7.5 million ounce) position limit for silver.
Respectfully submitted,
your name"
