Markets: Stocks, ETFs, IPOs and Forex for the USA, Canada and India

Plenty of our clients follow markets in more than one country: a Naperville household with U.S. brokerage accounts, relatives investing in India, a Canadian pension that holds U.S. stocks. This section gathers the lists they ask about most, in one place, with plain-English notes on what each list means and on the tax and reporting rules that follow the money.

What you will find here

• Most active stocks and ETFs, ranked by trading volume.
• New 52-week highs and new 52-week lows, which mark the extremes of the past year.
• Unusual volume, which flags securities trading far above their usual volume.
• IPO calendars for the three markets, sourced from official exchange and regulator pages and dated.
• Forex rates with a converter and short charts for the pairs our clients use most.

These lists are mechanical filters supplied by a third party (TradingView) and are not recommendations. We do not sell securities or give investment advice. What we can do is explain the tax side: how gains and dividends are taxed in each country, when a foreign account or fund must be reported, and which exchange rate to use. Start with the capital gains guide, then read about FBAR for Indian accounts and Form 8938 and India assets if you hold anything abroad.
