In stocks: Stock Market Analysis

Description

Useful for comparing performance of investments over time.

Usage

growth_graph(tickers = NULL, ..., gains = NULL, prices = NULL,
  initial = "10k", add.plot = FALSE, colors = NULL, lty = NULL,
  plot.list = NULL, points.list = NULL, grid.list = NULL,
  legend.list = NULL, pdf.list = NULL, bmp.list = NULL,
  jpeg.list = NULL, png.list = NULL, tiff.list = NULL)

Arguments

tickers	Character vector of ticker symbols that Yahoo! Finance recognizes, if you want to download data on the fly.
...	Arguments to pass along with tickers to load_gains.
gains	Numeric matrix with 1 column of gains for each investment (can be a vector if there is only one).
prices	Numeric matrix with 1 column of prices for each investment (can be a vector if there is only one).
initial	Numeric value specifying what value to scale initial prices to. Can also be character string ending in "k", e.g. "10k" to graph growth of $10k without all the 0's.
add.plot	Logical value for whether to add plot data to current plot frame rather than open a new one.
colors	Character vector of colors for each curve.
lty	Numeric vector specifying line types for each curve.
plot.list	List of arguments to pass to plot.
points.list	List of arguments to pass to points.
grid.list	List of arguments to pass to grid.
legend.list	List of arguments to pass to legend.
pdf.list	List of arguments to pass to pdf.
bmp.list	List of arguments to pass to bmp.
jpeg.list	List of arguments to pass to jpeg.
png.list	List of arguments to pass to png.
tiff.list	List of arguments to pass to tiff.

Value

In addition to the graph, a list containing:

2. Numeric vector named means with mean of gains for each investment.

3. Numeric matrix named corr.matrix with correlation matrix for gains for each investment.
