In the wake of recent global market shifts, U.S. stocks have rallied to record highs, fueled by optimism surrounding potential policy changes following a "red sweep" in the elections. As investors navigate these evolving conditions, insider ownership can serve as a key indicator of confidence in a company's growth prospects. Stocks with high insider ownership often suggest that those closest to the company believe strongly in its future success, making them compelling considerations for growth-focused portfolios amidst current economic uncertainties.
