OPTIONS ARE:
A) At least one of the stocks becomes temporarily mispriced.
B) This is a common occurrence indicating that one stock has more PVGO.
C) This cannot happen if the shares are traded in an auction market.
D) The expected risk levels will change until the expected returns are equal.

    stock price is a function of expected future returns adjusted for expected future risk. so as returns increase stock price increases. as risk increases stock price falls. so if to stocks have the same risk, the one with the lower risk will have the higher price. ( not familiar with the term PVGO ) (future is the expected time hold the stock)

    whoever wrote this question is an idiot.

    a is “right” even though it is very poorly worded.

    it doesn’t BECOME mispriced, it IS mispriced.
