| Financial & Investment Dictionary: Illiquid |
Finance: firm that lacks sufficient Cash Flow to meet current and maturing obligations.
Investments: not readily convertible into cash, such as a stock, bond, or commodity that is not traded actively and would be difficult to sell at once without taking a large loss. Other assets for which there is not a ready market, and which therefore may take some time to sell, include real estate and collectibles such as rare stamps, coins, or antique furniture.
