Securities are paper or electronic certificates evidencing ownership of equity (stocks), debt obligations (bonds), or rights (options and futures).
Capital market refers to the market in which corporate equity (stocks) and longer-term debt securities (those maturing in more than one year) are issued and traded. These include any stocks and Treasury bonds.
Money market refers to the market in which short-term debt securities are purchased and sold.

These include 3-month T-bills and Commercial Papers (short-term promissory notes issued by corporations) .
