> The one thing I did notice, that was really weird, is that as I fell asleep I'd have trouble "remembering to breath". Which was quite a strange experience.

Why can't they recoup their costs through put options?
In my view, short selling is a legalized form of fraud. A share of stock is "borrowed", but not with the actual owner's knowledge or permission. Then it is "sold", but unlike with a normal sale, the actual owner still thinks they own that share, as does the buyer. They can't both be correct. In a normal sale of some thing, when the buyer takes ownership, the former owner must relinquish ownership. And they'll both, henceforth, behave accordingly.
In a short sale scenario, both "owners" think they own the same share of stock. The "demand" they collectively create for two shares of the stock is sated by one share. So the price drops. When you have the ability (i.e. the money) to do it on a large scale, you drive the price of the stock down. That's the scam. It's not hard to understand.
IMO, the only reason short selling is legal is because it makes very rich and very powerful people even more rich and more powerful.
I had one too, and I held onto the floppy and the plastic folder it came in for years, until I finally trashed it in a decluttering frenzy. I think the version I registered was 1.10.
Then perhaps ASM would be an even better starting point?
One time, long back in my career, my then-boss jumped down my throat in a meeting for no valid reason. I clearly remember thinking to myself, "Is this it? Is this the day I tell this asshole to fuck off, and walk out the front door?" I decided not to, but I was in full-on job search mode the moment that meeting ended. It didn't take more than a couple of weeks before I gave notice. The next job was for less money, but it was basically my dream job at the time. It was the best move I ever made.
There's no moral or lesson to this story. I just thought I'd share it.
How?
How would one go about that?

When I used to build staircases, it always gave me pause to think that people not yet born would be walking up and down those stairs long after I'm dead. And that's the nature of your work. Your work product will outlive you by decades, or possibly centuries.
I've never heard that expression before. Was it translated to English from some other language?
"I second that!"
"I third that!"
...
"I n-th that!"
I interpreted that article to mean that he shorted the sector (Internet) that his holding (Yahoo) was part of, but without appreciably shorting his actual holding. (less than 5% of the fund he shorted.) Had the Internet sector (and therefore the fund) went up while Yahoo went down, he could have lost from both directions.
