Publicly traded stocks are considered liquid assets because they can be easily converted to cash through a sale in a public stock market. Liquid assets are those that can be quickly sold or accessed with minimal loss of value.
* Antique jewelry (A), net worth of a business (C), and an automobile (D) are not considered liquid assets because they are harder to convert into cash quickly without losing value.
