Default RE: Tracking precious metal prices in money

I had the same question a few years ago without a satifactory method that
uses the automatic stock quote update.

I ended up creating a money market account for my silver. When I make a
purchase, I can enter the quantity, price per ounce, and commission(S&H) for
the purchase. I then use the manual update feature about once a month to
update the price for the account for every Friday in that month using the
historical data from the Kitco site. I like to use the week ending spot price
since I don't care intra week prices.

I do something similiarfor my coins, with tracking of the price at month
starting prices, but it tends to average the total value since some coins
are worth more than others. I could have set up an asset account for each
coin but I wanted to treat the coins as a grouped investment.

I hope this work around helps!

Default Tracking precious metal prices in money

I just started buying and selling silver and am looking for a price tracking
feature in money so that I can do it much like the "Portfolio" feature. Tell
money I purchased X oz. on this date for X amount of money and then it update
the price of silver just like it updates stock prices. I've looked at it in
everyway I know and can't get it to work. Anyone have any ideas?
