The chatter on Main Street (a.k.a. Google) is always of interest to investors on Wall Street. Thus, each day, TheStreet compiles the stories that are trending on Google, and highlights the news that could make stocks move.

The volcano that erupted in Iceland remains the hottest trending topic on Google. The volcano, which released its strongest euption week, continued to generate a cloud of ash over the weekend, prompting extending restrictions on flights. Travelers have been stranded in Europe for the past five days.

United Airlines, a unit of

(UAUA)

and American Airlines, which is owned by

AMR

(AMR)

, both canceled more than 50 flights each on Sunday.

Airports ran test flights on Sunday, with some reopening after successful reports.

Goldman Sachs'

fraud charges are spooking the world -- and lighting up Internet search engines.

On Friday, the markets were rocked when the Securities and Exchange Commission said Goldman failed to disclose conflicts of interest in mortgage investments it sold to investors as the housing market collapsed.

John Paulson is also being linked to these allegations, as the SEC is alleging that his hedge fund, Paulson & Co., paid Goldman to short these mortgages.

The Goldman Sachs scandal is giving Democrats more drive for their financial reform bill, one that Senate Republicans continue to oppose.

A version of the bill, which would set up new regulatory oversight of financial industry practices, already passed in the House. Now Democrats are looking to bring a version of the bill to the Senate this week, claiming it will help prevent another Wall Street collapse.
