: EuropeanInvestor seems to include both European and American stock quotations. I have successfully updated stocks traded on NASDAQ and stocks traded on XETRA. : Bye,
: Mauro Cappelli :
: : 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,

You could do as Mauro suggested and use the European server. In the
cases where one server doesn't offer all your quotes, you can set up
different portfolios for each server you need to use. Portfolios remember
your quote server. To get the exchange rate, you can go to their site with your browser, and do
a ticker lookup. For a list of links to all the servers see: http://www.fundmanagersoftware.com/intrtv.html Thanks,
Mark
