Amidst a backdrop of fluctuating market conditions, with the Dow reaching new highs and tech stocks facing declines, investors are keenly observing trends and shifts across various sectors. In such a landscape, growth companies with high insider ownership can be particularly appealing as they often signal strong confidence in the company's future from those who know it best.
