Investments in loans and securities, under the fair value option

The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. We elected the fair value option to measure certain loans and securities, as we believe that fair value best reflects the economic transaction of investing in certain new loans and securities. We determined the fair value of
certain loans and securities using a discounted cash flow methodology, while also considering market data as it became available. We record the initial fair value measurement and subsequent measurement changes in fair value in the period in which the changes occur within the gains and (losses) on investments in loans and securities in the consolidated statements of operations. We report the changes in fair value within (gains) and losses on investments in loans and securities in the consolidated statements of cash flow.

The following table presents activities of investments in securities for which we elected the fair value option. See Note 10 for the assumptions used in our fair value model (in thousands):
