| 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. |
