The ASX200 is trading down about half a per cent, with Consumer Staples stocks being the biggest drag on the index today due to regulatory actions against major players like Woolworths and Coles. However, sectors such as Utilities, Energy, and Tech are showing resilience with notable gains. In this fluctuating market environment, identifying growth companies with high insider ownership can offer valuable insights into potential investment opportunities. High insider ownership often signals confidence in the company's future prospects and aligns management's interests with those of shareholders.
