Each of these criticisms will be discussed in more detail along with my own thoughts with respect to each of them.The first criticism is that position limit constraints will prevent“...legitimate speculation...” and thus make markets less efficient. Also, the critics worry that position limits and laws can become outdated. The first comment assumes the proportion of arbitrageurs is very small in the market place.To the extent that there are many speculators in natural gas,the transfer of risk can still be accomplished — it just will reduce the likelihood that the speculation is in the hands of just one large speculator. While it is true that laws will become outdated, it doesn’t mean they are not useful in the short-run.In addition, position limits can be made relative so that they do not become outdated quickly. For example, rather than have a limited specific number of contracts for each speculator, an exchange could have that number depend upon some percentage of average daily trading volume or of open interest.
Also, regulation could allow exchanges and governing bodies to update position limits as market conditions change.
