The market price of the securities is equal to theintrinsic value of the security and they should not be either overpriced or underpriced.The strategy used in the efficient market by the investors In an efficient market the price of the securities nor undervalued neither overvalued and is not expected tofluctuate in the future period also apart from unforeseeable events that can influence the price of thesecurity. Thus in this type of market the only sensible way to earn better return is to invest in the companywhich is performing better than others and giving higher returns as compared to the other companies inthe market.

In an efficient market holding period of the security should be long asthe market is less volatile and the good stocks once purchased will give a high return for a very long time.Investment decision in an imperfectly efficient marketImperfectly efficient market is the market where the security is either undervalued or overvalued.
