Modern Portfolio Theory asserts that financial markets accurately reflect the true value of a publicly traded security at all times. Therefore, efforts to seek out over-or-under-valued securities (mispriced securities) and to profit from such securities are largely unsuccessful. The process of buying and selling alleged mispriced securities is referred to as active portfolio management.  The academic research on active portfolio management shows that stock selection techniques, as well as market-timing, are largely unsuccessful and detract from overall portfolio performance.
