If you have stocks in more than one currency, you can expect at least 
some to display incorrectly, even though the Accounts display is 
correct.  The Advanced Portfolio report appears to assume that every 
entry uses the locale currency setting.  To get a more accurate picture 
you'll have to download the report into a spreadsheet and use the price 
last recorded for each currency.
