Only two packages are needed to run your code.
library(quantmod) library(tseries) symbols<-getSymbols(c("^GSPC", "^DJI")) endDate <- Sys.Date() startDate <- endDate - as.difftime(52*5, unit="weeks") quoteType <- "Close" p <- do.call(cbind, lapply(symbols, get.hist.quote, start=startDate, end=endDate, quote=quoteType)) Your calls with get.hist.quote() are not what you expect. Note that the tickers you passed to getSymbols() are "^GSPC" and "^DJI". But those are not the objects that getSymbols() creates (or the adjusted ticker symbols it returns), because they are not syntatically valid R names (because they start with a circumflex). So you call get.hist.quote() with tickers "GSPC" and "DJI", which are not the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial indexes, respectively. The GSPC data is not what you expect, and there's no data for DJI. > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > Please follow the posting guide and do not post HTML.
