Well, the important thing at the time was that I was causing the Baron to lose money...:)

I could see it being interpreted that what one can buy is what there's a price attached to.  For corporate stocks, the price is attached to shares.  For player stocks, the price is attached to stock.  So either "shares" isn't defined for players, or that which is referred to as "shares" in subsection E is equivalent to one unit to which a price has been attached (quantity of 1 for players), or the actual process of purchasing player stocks isn't defined.

In any case, I don't think Wonko's million-share purchase went through.
