In the wake of a "red sweep" in the U.S. elections, global markets have been buoyed by expectations of faster earnings growth and lower corporate taxes, with major indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite reaching record highs. Amidst this optimistic backdrop, identifying growth companies with significant insider ownership can provide valuable insights into potential investment opportunities, as insider confidence often aligns with strong company fundamentals and long-term growth prospects.
