Is it possible to purchase stock of different currency

Hi

I try to add a US stock in my Canadian brockage account in Quicken 2006, but Quickend do not let me do it ...

I have the error message that my stock is from a different currency ???

Please give some idea as how I can do it, I would also like to convert the purchase with a different exchange rate for every transaction.

If it is impossible to do that in Quicken, please suggest me an other program

A big thanks in advance for your support !!!

Regards

Bacchus

One Quicken account can hold securites in only one currency.

In Quicken, multi-currency is supported at the account level. All securities must be in the same currency. This makes sense because that's what most brokers do.

There are several workarounds, but the most common are:

  1. Accept Quicken's way. Your broker will report the price of the security in C$, so use it.
  2. If you want to see the price in US$ (and be able to download the price), create a new account in US$ in Quicken.
