It's ok I will try to reply your query as for me query is more important than the identity of person (No offence to my seniors). Actually I am least bothered in knowing you. I just wanna know your query.
See whatever you have mentioned is absolutely correct .
Investments are classified as long term investments and current investments. Current investments are in the nature of current assets, although the common practice may be to include them in investments.
Investments other than current investments are classified as long term investments, even though they may be readily marketable.
Now explanation on your query:- The carrying amount for current investments is the lower of cost and fair value. In respect of investments for which an active market exists, market value generally provides the best evidence of fair value. The valuation of current investments at lower of cost and fair value provides a prudent method of determining the carrying amount to be stated in the balance sheet.
Long-term investments are usually carried at cost. However, when there is a decline, other than temporary, in the value of a long term investment, the carrying amount is reduced to recognise the decline.

First of all learn manners which is most necessary as you are a student of a professional course. Now coming to reply-- Please read your query again the query itself contains the reply. Finally coming to identity part, do you think your identity is undisclosed? You are wrong as soon as you made reply after experts reply they come to know your identity by email.

I totally agree with Sanjay Bhaiya and Ravi ji. I first replied to your query becoz this is our Karma in experts section. I don't want to scold you without showing you the power and knowledge of this section. After my reply one thing for sure is that we don't need to attend any coaching class but it's u who s'd do it for yourself. See identity is not of much importance then the manners. I have mentioned it in my reply too that I am not interested in knowing you. Main thing is of manner and decency. Each one in this section is a top member and u s'd respect them. Best of luck
