Ted Butler - Now Even Chilton Playing Dumb on Silver

``In simple terms, Commissioner Chilton's response to the reader confirms my worst fear -- the reason the CFTC hasn't moved against the silver manipulation is that they don't understand it. Even though the agency publishes remarkably detailed and accurate data on concentration in their weekly COT reports, they apparently don't comprehend what it is they are publishing. As a big believer in the premise that recognition of a problem is 50% of the ultimate solution; I also believe that if a problem is not recognized, it is unlikely to be remedied. I've always considered Chilton to be one of the "good guys" at the Commission, so it is quite disheartening to see him so misinterpret his own agency's data.''
