The main feature of efficient markets is that they are not predictable. For example, if the stock market (e.g. NYSE) is efficient, it follows that it is impossible to predict what prices of stocks will be in the future. Market anomalies happen when some prices in the market turn out to be predictable. The most important anomaly is probably the value anomaly: stocks that have a low market value compared to their accounting value (ie "value stocks", with high book-to-market value) tend to outperform stocks that have a large market value relative to their book value (ie "growth stocks" with low book-to-market stocks). Another example is the so-called "momentum" anomaly. It says that stocks that have a large return during a certain period will tend to continue having larger return than other stocks for some time.
