5. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
 
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had invested our excess cash balances primarily in money market funds and a corporate equity security. Our securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in stockholders’ equity, net of estimated taxes. See Note 4 for fair value measurement information. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. To date, we have not experienced credit losses on investments in these instruments and we do not require collateral for our investment activities.
