| kalps | Market anomaly - price behaviour that differs from the behaviour predicted by the EMH |
| kutta2102 | The CFA material differentiates anomaly and mispricing very well - mispricing is when returns are different from 'expected' at a point in time. Anomaly is when this happens persistently. |
| gazelle | Thanks kutta2102. |
I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
