Available-for-sale securities are investments that the investor company does not intend to sell in the near future. Trading securities are securities that are bought and held with the intention of selling them in the near term to generate profits from short-term price fluctuations. Options are financial derivatives that give the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before a certain date.
