Lol. This is what happens when you use Google as a teacher, but you don't actually click on the headline.You have a strange definition of the word fast.

As you can see below it was adopted by the American financial markets in 1937 with the restriction that you could only short a rising stock.
That restriction was removed in 2007 (albeit as the last in a long line of regs getting 86ed since the Reagan era) and in 2008 the world had gone to shit because of the banks wallowing around like pigs in sh*t and creating a crisis that could have been avoided with better regulation.
So yeah, I call that pretty fast.
- The SEC adopted Rule 10a-1 in 1937, which stated market participants could legally sell short shares of stock only if it occurred on a price uptick from the previous sale.
- The uptick rule was eliminated in 2007, following a yearslong study that concluded that the regulation did little to curb abusive behavior and had the potential to limit market liquidity.

Despite short selling's legal status and its apparent market benefits, many policymakers, regulators, and the public remain suspicious of the practice.
