We sold available-for-sale investments for proceeds of $298 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $9.1 billion in the first nine months of 2011 ($93 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $399 million in the first nine months of 2010). Substantially all of the proceeds in the first nine months of 2011 were from debt investments that were primarily used to fund our acquisition of McAfee. The gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale investments were $186 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $251 million in the first nine months of 2011 ($33 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $112 million in the first nine months of 2010) and were primarily related to our sales of marketable equity securities. We determine the cost of an investment sold on an average cost basis at the individual security level.
