Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | Fair Value Measurements. U.S. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures about investments and non-recurring non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value and has established a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments or non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. Investments and non-financial assets and/or liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The types of investments included in Level 1 include listed equities and listed derivatives. We do not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large position. Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Investments that are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives. The inputs and assumptions of our Level 2 investments are derived from market observable sources including reported trades, broker/dealer quotes and other pertinent data. Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and non-financial asset and/or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment or non-financial asset and/or liability. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Fair value is determined using comparable market transactions and other valuation methodologies, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the investment. Significant transfers, if any, between the levels within the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period when changes in circumstances require such transfers. Investment The following table summarizes the valuation of the Investment Funds' investments and derivative contracts by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

The changes in investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which our Investment segment has used Level 3 input to determine fair value are as follows:

Balance at January 1 | $ | 75 |  |  | $ | 287 |
Gross proceeds | — |  |  | (1 | )
Balance at March 31 | $ | 75 |  |  | $ | 286 |
Unrealized gains of less than $1 million and losses of less than $1 million are included in earnings related to Level 3 investments still held at March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, by our Investment segment. Total realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded for Level 3 investments are reported in net gain (loss) from investment activities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Investment Funds held one Level 3 corporate debt investment at March 31, 2015. In prior periods, in determining the fair value of this investment, we performed a yield analysis of comparable loans to which we applied a risk premium. As a result of the underlying company’s performance and bankruptcy filing in the third quarter of 2014, however, we determined that it was more appropriate to measure the fair value of our debt investment through an enterprise value analysis. Other Segments and Holding Company The following table summarizes the valuation of our Automotive, Energy and Gaming segments and our Holding Company investments, derivative contracts and other liabilities by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

The changes in investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which our Gaming segment and Holding Company have used Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31,
| 2015 |  | 2014
| (in millions)
Balance at January 1 | $ | 154 |  |  | $ | 138 |
Gross unrealized losses | (14 | ) |  | (14 | )
Purchases and settlements, net | 1 |  |  | 1 |
Balance at March 31 | $ | 141 |  |  | $ | 125 |
Unrealized losses of $14 million are included in earnings related to Level 3 investments still held at both March 31, 2015 and 2014 by our Gaming segment and Holding Company. Total realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded for Level 3 investments are reported in net gain (loss) from investment activities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Our Gaming segment has certain debt securities that are classified as held-to-maturity since our Gaming segment has the ability and intent to hold these bonds to maturity. These debt securities are initially recorded at a discount to approximate fair value. After the initial determination of fair value, our Gaming segment analyzes recoverability of these bonds on a quarterly basis and record changes in fair value based on its historical collection experience and certain other information. On June 30, 2014, the Investment Funds made a distribution-in-kind of a certain Level 3 corporate debt investment in the amount of $110 million to the Holding Company. In prior periods, in determining the fair value of this investment, we performed a yield analysis of comparable loans to which we applied a risk premium. As a result of the underlying company’s performance and bankruptcy filing in the third quarter of 2014, however, we determined that it was more appropriate to measure the fair value of our debt investment through an enterprise value analysis. In addition, as of March 31, 2015, the Holding Company held a certain security which lacked observable market data due to limited market activity for that security, and accordingly, was valued based on the terms of a certain tender offer. See Note 18, "Subsequent Events - Metals," for further discussion.
