Showing Canadian Investments in US$

[ Q2 03 - Q4 05 Archive ] [ Current Message Board ] [ Archives ] [ Search ]

I have a few Canadian stocks mixed in with my US stocks. I've set up a dummy investment that lists the Canadian$:US$ exchange rate, as suggested in the Help section. Both ^CCD and ^XCD seem to work with Yahoo. I'm using US$ as my default currency, so wish to express my valuations in that currency.

However, I find that the when I select the "Exhange Rate Adjusted" view, Fund Manager divides by the exchange rate instead of multiplying, so I get more rather than fewer US dollars for my Canadian dollars (dinosaurs ruled the earth when that last happened!)

I've tried switching between the currency selected for my dummy investment (i.e. US$ and C$), but this seems to make no difference.

Is there any way of using the reciprocal of the exchange rate, or is there a ^??? symbol in Yahoo that will give me the C$:US$ rather than vice versa? (I've searched Yahoo for 30 minutes, but to no avail.)
