No, I think you misunderstand. You asked if commodity markets had always operated with short selling and I provided what I think is an example of one that did not.

If you use bubbles as a reason to justify short selling,

As far as my focus is concerned, it makes no real difference to me. As I (believe I) pointed out in the first response I almost never sell an equity short and have not done so in years. I doubt the rules will get tighter than they are, to even attempt to do so ignores the real issue. Stocks are and have been overpriced, or overvalued if you prefer, for quite some time. Hindering Short-sellers should not be the focus, in my opinion.

To each his or her own.
