I would be very hesitant to short Yahoo for an extended period of time. I think that in general shorting fast growth high tech stocks is a very risky proposition. The internet is growing very rapidly and noone really knows how fast it will continue to grow. If I were taking short positions, I wouldn't bet my money in this sector. Although the ratios are way out of wack, Yahoo has a 40% market share of search engines. Online commerce companies are growing much faster than analysts projected. I think that they will be the dominant entrance to the internet as the masses begin to use the internet. Yes, I think that short terms drops will occur, but in the long term.. long term short sellers beware.
