YHOO is perhaps having the smallest short ratio at 0.71 compared with any other tech stocks, even INTC has a short ratio of 1.01. This means there is not much buying potential left, and the only thing left is the downside risk when people decide to unload their shares. I know a lot of shorts get scared and hurt. However, if one do it carefully, going short at this time is better than going long. I tend not to thinking it as short sale rather than as taking profit which some longs do not want to do. So I do it for them.
