Small cap indices have been the best performers in the recent stock market much ahead of the benchmark indices.


V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said an important market technique is that the daily market range is getting narrower. This may preclude sharp moves in the market.


Today the focus of the market will be on the opening of the four IPOs. Lot of money is likely to go into the high quality Tata Technology IPO.


Investors can continue to accumulate high quality large-caps, particularly in banking and autos where the margin of safety is high.
