  Portfolios = NULL, period = c("daily", "none"))

method	for now, only 'contribution' is supported
Dates	xts style ISO 8601 date subset to retrieve, default NULL (all dates)
Portfolios	concatenated string vector for portfolio names to retrieve returns on, default NULL (all portfolios)
period	one of daily
...	any other passthru parameters (like native for .getBySymbol

Details

This function exists because of R/Finance community requests by Mark Breman and Thomas Bolton

TODO handle portfolio and account in different currencies (not hard, just not done)

TODO explicitly handle portfolio weights

TODO provide additional methods of calculating returns
