Money Market Instruments

A class of marketable securities, money market instruments are short-term equity and debt securities with maturities of one year or less that trade in liquid markets. Examples of money market instruments include Treasury Bills, commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances, deposits, and certificates of deposit. Money market instruments with maturities of three months (or less) often qualify as cash equivalents.

This is a definition, not a recommendation. Options carry risk and can expire worthless. See how the desk actually trades at TrueTrader.
