As the U.S. stock market grapples with political and economic uncertainty, leading to a correction in major indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite, investors are increasingly seeking stability amidst volatility. In such times, growth companies with high insider ownership can be particularly appealing, as they often signal strong alignment between management and shareholder interests—a crucial factor when navigating turbulent market conditions.
