## Remarks
|
|
|
|
RAM cost: 2.5 GB Attempts to sell a short position of a stock using a Market Order.
|
|
|
|
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.
