In the chapter for selling stocks, the following is stated.
---
The proper recording of the stock sale *must* be done using a split
transaction. In the split transaction, you must account for the profit (or
loss) as coming from an Income:Capital Gains account (or Expense:Capital
Loss).
---

But in the example and the sample account structure, you do not refere nor
use the Expense:Capital Loss account.

I guess it would be better to have a Expense:Capital Loss account, or?
Or is it ok with a Negative Income:Capital Gain account?
