Marketable securities are those securitues which can be marketed. eg- we can market the share of any company, debentures can also be marketed, and liquidity of these instruments become very high. while we can't market some instruments, like savings schemes of Post offices and also the liquidity of such instruments become so low. so, cash is different thing and it has nothing to do with marketable securities. because the concept of marketable security is different.
Cash can be compare with marketable securities on the basis of its liquidity.
