I use Google Finance to track my shares but have the following two issues:

1. Most of my shares are USD and GBP demoninated, and they were obviously purchased at a specific exchange rate to the Euro on the day of purchase. Google does not reflect this, the cost basis floats with the current exchange rate, giving an inaccurate profit/loss. The current price should float according to FX, but not the cost.
Is there any where you can set the specific cost in Euro despite them being purchased in GBP/USD etc?

2. Commodities: The closest you can get with Google Finance is ETFs for tracking physical commodities in my portfolio. Any portfolio trackers include the spot prices of Gold/Silver?

Thanbks and Merry Christmas!
