Attempts to sell a `short <http://bitburner.wikia.com/wiki/Stock_Market#Positions:_Long_vs_Short>`_ position of a stock
|
|
using a `Market Order <http://bitburner.wikia.com/wiki/Stock_Market#Order_Types>`_.

|
|
|
The ability to short a stock is **not** immediately available to the player and must be unlocked later on in the game.
|
|
|
|
If the specified number of shares 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.
|
|
|
|
If the sale is successful, this function will return the stock price at which each share was sold. Otherwise it will return 0.
