When is stock said to be in equilibrium? Why might a stock at any point in time not be in
equilibrium? - Answer-Equilibrium is the situation where the actual market price equals
the inartistic value, so investors are indifferent between buying and selling a stock. If a
stock is in equilibrium then there is no fundamental imbalance, hence no pressure for a
charge in the stock's price. At any given time, most stocks are reasonable close to their
inartistic values and thus are at or close to equilibrium. However, at times stock prices
and equilibrium values are different, so stocks can be temporarily undervalued or
overvalued. Investor optimism and pessimism, along with imperfect knowledge about
the true inartistic value, leads to deviations between the actual prices and inartistic
values
