Yes, shorting without the uptick rule can have serious problems.

But, a stock market where shorting is not allowed --- can be easily rigged and fundamentally unfair. If you don't see it, then too bad. Why do you think SEC or most modern stock markets allow for shorting to begin with? Companies/Economy certainly doesn't benefit from shorting.

I rarely ever short --- certainly not in the last 15 years. But, I take great solace in the fact that shorting is allowed. I wouldn't be comfortable investing/trading in a stock market where shorting weren't allowed.
