Ths instock has to be a positive number or 0.

Set AlwaysInStock=1 and the stock will not get reduced. So you have to
build a separate TypoScript template setup for those products which are
always in stock.

Negative values will have special meanings in the future.
But you are right, negative stock values should never get reduced.
