Yes. This is a big issue for me too. Being Canadian I trade in CDN $, and most my holdings are on Canadian markets. This seems reasonable - I would expect someone from GB to mostly trade on the London exchange in GBP. Not to be rude, but not everyone is American. Although this seem obvious to me, maybe it is a nuance when you're sitting in New York. But it is hard to imagine this is an oversite. I wonder, could it be something to with securities laws? Anyway, I'd love to have the ability to track non US traded equity in their native currencies.
Such a shame there is no currency conversion.. I've enjoyed using seeking alpha to monitor my portfolio but frankly I'm fed up with not being able to see the values in my local currency so have started using another site, generally not as good as seeking alpha but saving me manually converting from using constantly. Such a shame no notice has been taken of this thread that has been open for 5 +years
Yes, I call this the 'Unseen Loss'. Seeking Alpha didn't realize that it was losing money because it doesn't show up as an actual expense and the lost revenue goes undetected since people naturally go to other sites, like you. It's pure craziness that they only fixed the Financials section of the research page of each company in early 2023 after I sent the bosses direct emails detailing their oversight. It should have been embarrassing for these financial geniuses to hear this from a layman (me).
Pity they haven't figured out the seriously complicated quantum multiplication and division yet to change the currency when viewing a portfolio. Perhaps they need to employ more 5th graders who specialize in this type of advanced math.
