What is capital gain and what are considered capital gain items?

The sale of a capital asset results in a capital gain (or loss). For the most part everything you own and use for personal purposes, pleasure or investment is a capital asset. Your house, car, stock or bonds, gems and jewelry, coins collections, stamp collections and antiques are just some of the items considered capital assets.
