    they haven't even published their conclusions

    Thoughtful investigations take time. The CFTC staff has worked extremely hard on the silver investigation. That said, there is a point at which it is our responsibility to say something. Within the law, I have done so. I am hopeful that the agency will speak publicly about the investigation in the very near future and when they do so that it will be in a more granular fashion than I am permitted from doing at this time.

    I'm not sure, but the word LIAR comes to mind.

    Ever noticed how a dose of reasoned argument, and a rational point of view, kills a Trolls thread dead in the water.
    Strange or what?
