Question:

An observation that stocks with above average price-to-earnings ratios have consistently  underperformed those with below average price-to-earnings ratios least likely contradicts which form  of market efficiency? 
A. Weak form 
B. Semi-strong form 
C. Strong form 


Answer = A 
The observation that stocks with high above average price-to-earnings ratios have consistently  underperformed those with below average price-to-earnings ratios is a cross-sectional anomaly. It is a  contradiction to the semi-strong form of market efficiency and strong form market efficiency because  all the information used to categorize stocks by their price-to-earnings ratios is publicly available. It is  not a contradiction to weak form market efficiency.
