Portals now take 10% of the "fee" you set as a sort of tax. The primary
purpose of this is so players cannot inflate the value of their city stock
listing for free. (Give money to a friend and tell him to use the portal over
and over).

You could still do that now I suppose, but it'll cost you some cash.

Maybe we should just remove portals from that calculation entirely? I'm not
sure portal fees should count as 'Stock' in any case per se.

Well I suppose stock really isn't the 100% most accurate term, but the general
idea of the stock system in "income", so perhaps that would be a better word
for the command. At any rate, portal fees are income and technically that is
what is being reported.

Portal fees should not count as stock? If you type the command "stock", you
see there something like "city income".. now hmm.. try to think with some of
your organs and try again
