QUESTION on International Stock Valuation - Non US Dollar denominated
Hellow
How do you recommend to keep record of a foreign stock
position... lets say that you have an Interactive Brokers
Account, and purchase shares of NICE SPA, a small home
automation company listed in the Milan Stock Exchange... its
shares are denominated in EUROS?

How would you go about to register the purchase? and how
about the valuation? regards...

Tom
You have to convert the foreign transaction amounts to $US on the date of the transaction. Some brokers may do this for you. I have no idea if Interactive Brokers will.

Dear Tom,

The other thing to note is that it is most likely the stock pricing
will not be provided in our pricing data feed. That just means you
will need to track this as an unlisted investment and update it's
price manually any time you need a valuation to conduct club business.
  If such a valuation is needed, you will be requested to update the
pricing at the time you make the entry. Make sure to do that!
