In times of uncertainty and turbulence in the market, large caps are a safe bet. They generally see lesser downturn in a correction because they are established entities with stable and diverse markets that ensure some growth under most circumstances. They are thus wealth protectors in a bearish market. Now, you are in the market not just to protect your wealth, but also to make some. And it is in times of gloom and doom, when the news is all negative… that it is best to pick up good mid- and small-cap stocks. When the bulls return, they will rally better than large-caps. So, focus less on market cap and more on the business you intend to buy.
