Certainly it is not classifiable as current production income in the GDP sense. So you are probably correct.

Thanks. That's what I thought. So the tax is subtracted but the gain is not added. I wonder if the savings rate would be positive if gains were added?

I have never seen a break down of wins vs losses on dollar volume basis or how much of asset sales revenue is rolled right back into the same markets essentially continuing its character as an unrealized gain or loss as opposed to what would be produced income if we were discussing it in a business inventory sense.
