As global markets react to the recent U.S. election results, with major indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite reaching record highs, investors are eyeing potential growth opportunities amidst expectations of looser regulations and lower corporate taxes. In this environment, companies with significant insider ownership can offer unique insights into growth potential, as insiders often have a deep understanding of their company's prospects and challenges, aligning their interests closely with those of shareholders.
