I have not found a site that can take both us and canadian holdings, do the share quantity x price calculations, and show the grand total in Canadian Dollars.
I can feed it the US Dollar rate if it the web site doesn't automatically provide it.
small example/sample report A US COMPANY US 100 shares @ 100 US $ 10,000 US . . A CDN COMPANY US 10 shares @ 50 CAN $ 500 CA
Total Value in Canadian Dollars assuming US$ can be sold for 1.30 CAN $ 10,650 CA
Im hoping their is a free service that can do this.
Can someone help me?

Have you tried setting up a Yahoo! finance portfolio? It lets you track your holdings, purchase price, and select between several display currencies.

I have always used a yahoo finance/portfolio. I have noticed that currency screen but never realized/thought that its function was to convert one currency to another.
I now have a US portfolio and a Canadian. My holdings are shown in Canadian Dollars. I did a rough check comparing the calculations I made yesterday with todays NEW portfolios results (some prices changed a few pennies) but it WORKED.
Thanks so much, if I live to be 100 you have saved me roughly 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year for the next 41 years which is 74 days if my math is right? You freed up two and a half months for me!
I keep a small hero list and you are now on it. Thanks for your help Sean.
One teenie weenie itsy bitsy question. Does Yahoo display/show the factor/rate it uses to convert US$ to CA$? I looked around but it didn't jump out at me.

If I had to guess, it would be same as:

You can also add that to your portfolio and it'll track the current exchange rate. Keep in mind that this is the latest trade, not the actual buy/sell rate you'll get from a bank.
