    Stocks are liquid assets. They can increase in value.

    T-bills are also liquid assets. They can also increase in value.

    Savings accounts and money market accounts are also liquid assets. They can also increase in value.

      I’m pretty sure that liquid assets are things that you can spend, so cash and bank accounts. Anything that you have to sell to buy things is not a liquid asset. (Note that we are not talking about barter. I had a friend at college who traded a snake for a VW camper, neither of which would be considered a liquid asset. Even though technically you could put the snake in a giant blender…)
