Hi Alain - thanks for the suggestion.
I tried to feed the first column of the data frame object created by
RBloomberg to with_tz() and I got the following error:
> head(SMH)
time open high low close
numEvents volume

Firstly, I'm not sure why RBloomberg creates the date/timestamp as follows:
2011-09-19T13:35:00.000
Why attach a 'T' between the date and the time? This type of format looks
very foreign to me and my guess is this is why with_tz returns an exception.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
