We determine realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable securities on a specific identification method. We recognized gross realized gains of $1,265, $241, and $24 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. These realized gains were offset by realized losses of $586, $677, and $81 for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. We reflect these gains and losses as a component of investment and other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income (loss).
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our investments in marketable debt securities, accounted for as available-for-sale securities and classified by the contractual maturity date of the securities as of December 31, 2016:

The Company has classified our investment in available-for-sale marketable securities as current assets in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as the securities need to be available for use, if required, to fund current operations. There are no restrictions placed around the sale of any securities in our investment portfolio.
