Finally, Commissioner Bart Chilton of the CFTC gave an interview this week with Jim Puplava that should interest you. http://www.financialsense.com/
A number of subscribers asked me if I would comment on what Commissioner Chilton had to say. In commenting, I can't help but try to be as objective as possible. For the record, I commend Chilton for the role he has taken on the important issues, like position limits, concentration and in addressing allegations of manipulation in silver. He is the only commissioner to have done so. I believe there would be no ongoing silver investigation were it not for him. I think he is one of the good guys and I started writing to him about these issues in 2007 http://www.investmentrarities.com
I agree with most of what Commissioner Chilton had to say, particularly about concentration and position limits and manipulation. I'm glad the interview was mostly about potential manipulation in the silver market. I'm going to skip over all the things I agree with Chilton on and confine my remarks to where I disagree with him. Agreement can be boring. Even though the disagreements are few, I believe they go to the heart of the matter.
