Purpose This will give a nice summary of all the geoms that are available in ggplot2 package.
Let me first prepare the dataset

> query <- paste(" REMOVED DELIBERATELY by ticker_id, trade_date asc ",
+ sep = "")
> security.db <- dbGetQuery(con, query)
> query <- " select * from security_master"
> master <- dbGetQuery(con, query)
> dataset <- merge(security.db, master, by.x = "ticker", by.y = "ticker",

So, that was my saturday … Used ggplot to draw 52 graphs…Aimed for 100 and reached 50..
So, I guess the stuff that I believe is going to be correct.. If you aim for the stars , you will atleast hit the moon.
Let the world think whatever they want to think..I want to be resourceful, passionate about statistics . I want to create so many tools, programs, high frequency programs, trading algos that before I die, I w
