Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]

Note 10. Investments

The Company classifies investments in marketable securities as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase and periodically re-evaluates such classifications. Trading securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at cost and are adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts over the life of the related security. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. In determining realized gains and losses, the cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on the investments are accrued at the balance sheet date. At December 31, 2016 all investments were classified as held to maturity and consisted of the following:

			September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Certificates of Deposit		Maturity	Value of Held to Maturity Investment		Value of Held to Maturity Investment
Investment		Date	(based on cost)		(based on cost)
