Gabriel, RE: Mike, investment gains or losses are never included in the income statement. They go directly to the Equity section of the balance sheet.

Actually, realized investment gains and losses are indeed included on the income statement. OTOH, unrealized gains are reflected only on the balance sheet.

That is why looking only at the income statement effect of the investment portfolio yields only a partial view of the investment portfolio (as does a sole look to the balance sheet). For example, it was widely publicized that Intel recorded a large investment gain last quarter. Of course, this gain was really earned primarily last year. It was only realized in the last quarter. What was not widely reported was that Intel didn't make any money at all in its investment portfolio last quarter; the unrealized losses offset the reported gain.
