The ability to short a stock is **not** immediately available to the player and must be unlocked later on in the game.
|
|
|
|
If the player does not have enough money to purchase the specified number of shares, then no shares will be purchased.
|
|
Remember that every transaction on the stock exchange costs a certain commission fee.
|
|
|
|
If the purchase is successful, this function will return the stock price at which each share was purchased. Otherwise, it will return 0.
