An illiquid stock is stock in a company that does not trade actively. Because there is not a lot of interest in this stock it makes it hard to trade or sell for cash (liquidate). Illiquid stocks are not good for a quick trade, and the buy and sell price are normally quite different due to low volume and lack of interest, whereas liquid stocks are traded in much higher volumes, and the buy and sell prices are closer with less spread.
Yes. Liquid is a noun and an adjective. (There is also a negative, illiquid, for some uses.)
The most illiquid investment option is typically real estate, especially properties that are unique or in less desirable locations, as they can take a significant amount of time to sell. Other illiquid assets include private equity investments, collectibles, and certain types of bonds. These investments often lack a readily available market or require substantial time and effort to convert into cash. As a result, they can pose challenges for investors needing quick access to their funds.
