As the ASX200 inches up by 0.05% to 8,180 points amidst a mixed performance across sectors, with telecommunications and IT leading gains while energy and materials lag due to falling iron ore prices, investors are keenly observing the broader market dynamics influenced by global trends such as Wall Street's tech-driven rally. In this environment, growth companies with substantial insider ownership can be particularly appealing as they often signal confidence from those closest to the business, potentially offering resilience and alignment of interests in fluctuating market conditions.
