First I'd like to commend you for the excellent program! I have been using it now for six weeks and have registered about a month ago.
My portfolio holds a number of stocks traded on Wall Street plus one stock traded (in Euro) on the Neuer Markt in Frankfurt. My questions are:
1) Is there internet quote site I can connect to that will update prices of BOTH the U.S traded and the Frankfurt stocks? What I currently do is choose "Yahoo UK" for the European stock and change the internet setting to normal Yahoo for the rest. This is of course very cumbersome.
2) As I want a common denominator for my whole portfolio, I convert the Euro share price to US$. For that I defined a 'currency-share' ("Euro") and have linked my European stock to the "price" of that 'share'. Trouble is that I have to manually look up each day the current exchange rate. Is there an internet site that would automatically update the Euro exchange rate?
Ideally a single site that will quote U.S and European stocks AND will quote (major) exchange rates as well would be wonderful... I have a couple of other observations and suggestions but let's leave something for the future :) Thanks again for a great utility,
