    Capital gain is computed in the formula below:

    Capital gain = [ (Current price-Original price) / Original price ]x100

    If stocks before

    Original price = $1.75 x (1+14.8%)

    = $2.009

    Current price = $1.75 x (1+11.2%)

    = $1.956

    Capital gains yield = [ ($1.956-$2.009) / ($2.009) ]x100

    = - 0.264 x 100

    = - 26.4

    Capital loss of 26.4% because the stock value decreased.
