If the specified number of shares in the function exceeds the amount that the player actually owns, then this function will
|
|
|
|
|
sell all owned shares. Remember that every transaction on the stock exchange costs a certain commission fee.

The net profit made from selling stocks with this function is reflected in the script's statistics.
|
|
|
|
|
This net profit is calculated as::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shares * (sell price - average price of purchased shares)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the sale is successful, this function will return the stock price at which each share was sold. Otherwise, it will return 0.
