December was a month when some recovery was made after the jittery November witnessed by equity markets. Small Cap yet again surprised, with the Nifty Smallcap 250 Total Returns Index showing a jump of 5.40{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886}. Like almost any realist, the small cap party is now getting worrisome knowing that long parties are generally followed by awful hangovers.

Rest of the indices were pretty much in a range of 2-2.85{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} although Nifty Next 50 occupied the bottom rung with a 1.25{76b947d7ef5b3424fa3b69da76ad2c33c34408872c6cc7893e56cc055d3cd886} crawl.
