This is by way of a sign off note on this issue. Based on (my understanding of) Fred Bone's suggestion that it may be old prices that were causing the problem I deleted all the old prices in the pricing database and, as already noted, the problem went away - ie I was getting a correct current

Fred In my original post I included the following "89(the number of shares)*€73.07(the value of each share)*0.87(the Euro to GBP exchange rate) ie £5658" and compared that with the value £3989 as reported in the account listing. At that time I had "many" values in the price database for both

Morning Eric, Fairly sure I copied the list too, am doing so here so that the thread makes it to the archives there. As I said, I'm at a loss to explain what you are seeing. If the price DB has sensible numbers, I don't know why the specific share account would be so far off. I haven't done

Hi Eric, Sorry for being off the mark. It happened to me a while back that I was getting a price for a symbol in USD not GBP because I'd missed the ".L" for a London share - it seemed to me to be too much of a co-incidence that when gnc- fq-dump looked up AIR (not AIR.PA) I got a USD figure tha

Maf Thanks for taking the time. Airbus Group is Air.PA and it is that stock whose value I "collect". The difference between the €73.07 I quoted and "your" €73.50 is (probably) because the price I collected was from 31st May. I "froze" my accounts at that time to allow (some) certainty in my i

Hi Eric, Are you sure you're getting the correct price for the shares? There's a stock called AIR which is (presently) USD 34.64, and given the current $/£ rate makes 89 shares worth around £4k. You may be after the stock AIR.PA, showing right now as €73.50 gnc-fq-dump yahoo_europe AIR.PA Fi

8th June 2017 I’m having trouble with getting a valuation (in pounds sterling – hereafter GBP – I am based in the UK) for a share I own that is priced in Euros. To bore you with the details my original account listing was of this form: Assets >My Assets >>My Portfolio >>>My Cash >>>My Sh
