The Nifty50<\/a> as well as Sensex<\/a>, have taken a 5% fall over the past week. This rout in the broader markets, however, has caused a much deeper slump in the high beta stocks<\/a>, which are represented by both small caps and midcaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nifty Midcap index<\/a>, for instance, has plunged by 10% while the Nifty Smallcap index has declined by 13% from the top. Remember that in financial jargon, high beta<\/a> simply means those stocks that exhibit higher volatility<\/a> compared to the broader markets. The obvious question then is whether this presents an opportunity to buy on dips or sell on rise?
