Measuring Financial Instrument's Gain or Loss

This entire section should probably be deleted. It is an attempt to present the classification of financial instruments for financial statement purposes, yet it does not indicate this. Additionally, the information it presents for 2 possible classifications is incomplete "???", and there are three other classifications that it does not even discuss, nor are references provided as to which accounting standards are quoted (there are differences in accounting standards between countries, expecialy in the area of financial insturments). 11:03, 4 Febuary 2008

I am definitely against the deletion of this section. Financial instruments is a labyrinth, and this is the most clear classification I have ever seen. More detail is definitely needed, but deletion? No way!!!!88.234.170.245 (talk) 11:53, 1 October 2008 (UTC)mehmet

Lead Section

Financial instruments are cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contractual right to receive, or deliver, cash or another financial instrument.

This is a self referring definition - but I can't think how to rephrase it Rattle (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:41, 25 October 2008 (UTC).

The self reference I'm sure was intended because a financial instrument may be a contractual right to receive or deliver another financial instrument. i.e. I agree to deliver 200 shares in BP on a given date.

I don't know independently of this article what a financial instrument is, but I would have to wager that this sentence needs semi-colons instead of commas: "Financial instruments are cash; evidence of an ownership interest in an entity; or a contractual right to receive, or deliver, cash or another financial instrument." --207.172.165.78 (talk) 15:07, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
