Why Everyone’s Turning Their Phones to “Show Me the Cheapest Stocks”
When prices start falling, people press the search button like a reflex. We’re pulling the pulse of these trends straight from the latest data that tracks what Google users worldwide are asking about.
How We Measured “Stock‑Talk” Worldwide
- We compiled the monthly search volume for phrases like “buy stocks”, “sell stocks” and “invest in stocks”.
- These were filtered for the native languages of the 46 countries with the biggest economies.
- Using the Ahrefs Keywords Explorer kit, we calculated the search volume per capita—essentially gauging how much every one of the 1‑million people in a country is looking for stock‑related info.
- The result is a clear list of where the world is more interested in buying, selling, or investing.
Standout Nations
- Japan tops the charts overall, with about 4,132 searches per million people for buying, selling or investing.
- United States follows in the second spot—just under a 3,623 per‑million figure.
- Singapore can’t be left out either: around 2,654 queries per million.
- Canada, Germany, and a few others round out the top five, all hovering between 2,300 and 2,600 per million.
- On the flip side, Spain is the go‑to country for “sell stocks” questions at 2,290 per million.

Bottom line: The universe is boiling over with a surge of “stock‑talk.” Grab your coffee, check those trending queries, and start picking those undervalued champions while the market’s still on the downslide.
How the World’s Investors Are Talking About Stocks
Ever wonder which nations are practically buzzing over the stock market? Let’s break it down in plain, conversational English, no fancy jargon.
Spain: The “Sell‑Stock” Hub
While Spain doesn’t rock the top‑10 spot for buying stocks, it tops the list for selling. In fact, Spaniards ask 400 questions per million people about when to sell—the country’s second biggest crowded search field globally.
What People Search For
- Buy Questions: “How to buy stocks?” and “Which stocks to buy?” dominate the search list.
- Sell Questions: “When to sell?” is the go‑to query for sellers.
Global Stock Fervor: NVIDIA & Tesla Lead the Pack
Where do the most people want to get their hands on? NVIDIA wins hands down with roughly 12 million monthly Google searches. That’s not a small sum—NVIDIA’s share price has leapt nearly 20% over the last year and surged a mind‑blowing 1,700% in five years.
Just behind the tech giant is Tesla, snagging around 7 million searches each month for its stock and the electric vision behind it.
America’s Big League
Let’s face it: the U.S. is the biggest stock playground with a huge list of companies on its wall. Still, because its population is so large, it doesn’t command the top slot for search volume per capita. The country ranks number two overall, pulling in 1,232,440 stock‑related questions every month—roughly 3,623 per million people.
Japan Takes the Lead
Hold on to your seats: Japan is the king of stock chatter per million folks. Anyone searching for “buy stocks,” “sell stocks,” or “invest in stocks” in Japanese sees a massive monthly average of 4,132 questions per million people. That’s a staggering 510,110 questions each month.
And that’s the snapshot—no data plots or load‑bearing spreadsheets—just the raw story of what people worldwide are curious about when it comes to buying and selling the big bucks. Happy Googling!
