Trading securities are the investments made in the securities with the intent to sell them in short-term.
The Fair-Value adjustments are recorded at the year-end to record the deviations from the price at which securities have been purchased. If the fair value of the shares at the year-end are more than the price at which shares are purchased, the unrealized gain will be recorded, if it less than unrealized loss is recorded and fair value adjustment accounts are created.
