As of October 2024, the U.S. markets have shown resilience with major indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq surging, driven by gains in large-cap technology stocks, while oil prices have seen a sharp decline. In this environment of fluctuating economic indicators and strong tech performance, growth companies with high insider ownership can offer unique insights into potential investment opportunities due to their alignment of interests between company insiders and shareholders.
