1- Dead money(slang): It could be money stashed in a mattress, non-interest yielding checking account or a security that does not yield returns. http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/08/dead-money.asp
2 -Idle capital: firm's unused money and propertythe money and assets of a business that are not being invested productively.

3- Money on the sideline: The cash that is held either in savings or in low-risk, low-yield investment vehicles, such as certificates of deposits (CDs), instead of being placed in investments that have the potential for greater rewards, such as the stock market.
