Benchmark indices Nifty and Sensex continued to make new highs on Friday, as investors are betting on a stable government after the elections, and a recovery in the economy. Banks and capital goods have been among the best performing stocks in the latest rally. FIIs net bought shares worth Rs 1273 crore on Thursday, their biggest daily purchase since December 19, extending their buying streak to a 15th straight day, totalling more than USD 1 billion.However, retail participation continued to remain muted as can be seen from the slackness in mid and small cap shares. In the CNX Midcap, 44 out of the 100 stocks are trading below the price it touched on Jan 8, 2008 when the market had peaked just before the global financial crisis.
