No, I was NOT confused. I understood that you ":Equity Fund" was an 
asset, a fund that invested in shares of ownership of companies.

I was saying that you might record the "short term gain" (an item of 
income) using equity as the other side of the transaction. I even 
explained why that was not changing anything (that an account of type 
"income" was actually a temporary account of fundamental type equity, so 
like moving an amount between two equity accounts at the same time you 
were moving the amount between to accounts of type asset)
