| danlan2 | For held-to-maturity, the amortized cost is used. |
| ostrich | An interesting question...to say the least..indeed!! |
| MFTIOA | would A be considered available-for-sale securities? I guess they can still be held-to-maturity securities that management intend to sell? |
| charliedba | A is not precisely accurate: these securities can still be held-to-maturity ones thus amortized cost should be used. |
| dybacis | What about Unlisted instruments that are not classified as held-to-maturity? |
Your review questions and global ranking system were so helpful.
