Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own.

JFB Construction Holdings insiders own 79% of the company, currently worth about US$38m based on the recent share price. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
