The German market has shown resilience, with the DAX surging over 4% recently, buoyed by renewed hopes for economic stimulus from China. Amid this backdrop of cautious optimism and mixed economic signals, investors are increasingly looking at growth companies with high insider ownership as potential opportunities.
