These gains don't cause pain. A capital gain is the amount of money you pocket by selling one of your investments for more than you paid for it. Technically, capital gains only count for what's called a capital asset, but that's really just anything you own for investment purposes. Stocks and bonds obviously qualify, but your house and household furnishings can also count.
For tax purposes, capital gains are classified as either long-term (held for more than one year) or short-term (held for less than one year) and there are different tax implications for how long you hold onto a capital asset. For most long-term capital gains, you're taxed no more than 15% of the value of the asset. Short-term gains get taxed as regular income, so you pay the rate for the tax bracket you're in.
Capital gains can also be realized or unrealized. When you physically sell an asset like a stock, you've realized the capital gain. When you're holding the stock, and it has a value over its purchase price, but you're not selling it, you've got an unrealized gain, and you won't realize it until you sell.
In a perfect world, we'd all have capital gains. But no one¿s that smart or lucky. When the value of an asset at sale is below what you've paid for it, it's called a capital loss. The good news is that the government lets you count that loss against any gains you've had, lowering the taxes you pay. In fact, many people who sell a stock that has risen far over their purchase price tend to sell some stinkers, too, at the same time for the tax benefit. This is known as a capital-loss offset.

Sumitomo Electric Develops New Coaxial Laser Diode Module for High Bandwidth Wireless Applications
Comtex
TOKYO, Aug 28, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) ----Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. (TOKYO:5802)(ISIN:JP3407400005), today announced that it has developed a new coaxial laser diode module capable of supporting high frequency bandwidth applications.
With the addition of the newly-designed model, Sumitomo Electric's family of coaxial laser diode modules will be capable of supporting a broader frequency range, from 2GHz to 5GHz. The modules are used in mobile base station communication systems. Presently, bandwidth requirements are increasing due to two factors. The first is the growing demand for upgrading of existing communications systems, such as upgrade to digital CWDM. The second is the emergence of new applications, among which is the very promising Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX). In wireless applications, Sumitomo Electric's new coaxial laser diode module is capable of supporting such upgrades and new applications.
WiMAX supports three frequency bands (2.5GHz, 3.5GHz and 5.8GHz), as is defined in the IEEE 802.16-2004 specifications. The new coaxial laser module can support both the 3.5GHz and 5.8GHz bands.
One of the key features of the new module is its capability to achieve a 5GHz bandwidth. Its experience with various assembly and packaging techniques for a variety of modules such as 10G TOSAs has enabled Sumitomo Electric to successfully develop a high frequency diode for new mobile applications. As a result of redesigning the built-in isolator, there is an improvement in reflection and also a reduction of parasitic capacitance.
Sumitomo Electric's new coaxial laser diode module will be available for sampling in Q3 2008 and for sale by the end of CY2008.
