These large- and mid-cap stocks can give more than 38% return in 1 year, according to analysts

If one looks at the overall performance of the market in the past few months, there have been phases where large-caps have underperformed while mid-caps have outperformed and vice-versa. In this context, it would probably be better to have a combination of large- and mid-cap stocks in your long-term investing portfolio and your trading portfolio. This would be a better mix given that the volatility quotient of the market is likely to remain high over the next couple of months or more. Another factor to keep in mind: Diversification is the key. Why? Because there are sectors which will see cyclical tail and headwinds, not because of anything else but the fact that every industry goes through it.
