Mid and small caps fall today: What you should do

The entire market may have red-zoned, but the mid- and small-cap indices said, "Hold my beer." They dropped over 3.5 per cent today (August 5, 2024), much harder than the large-cap dominated Sensex's 2.74 per cent. The Monday mania is yet another example of how volatile mid and small caps can be. 10 worst one-day small-cap falls  Date BSE 250 SmallCap TRI Recovery (in days) 23-Mar-20 -12.2% 17 12-Mar-20 -9% 139 24-Aug-15 -8.9% 50 0
