The United States market has shown a robust performance recently, rising by 7.0% in the past week and climbing 7.5% over the last year, with earnings projected to grow by 14% annually in the coming years. In this favorable environment, growth companies with high insider ownership can be particularly appealing as they often indicate strong confidence from those closest to the business and may align interests between management and shareholders.
