Really, there is no need to do this all by hand. Please have a look at the
"zoo" package (as recommended earlier this week).

Then you can do
   x <- cbind(rnorm(20,0.1,0.1),
              rnorm(20,0.2,0.1),
              rnorm(20,0.3,0.1),
              rnorm(20,0.5,0.1),
              rnorm(20,0.7,0.1),
              rnorm(20,0.8,0.1))
   z <- zoo(x, mydates)
   plot(z)
   plot(z, nc = 1, type = "b")
and much more.

Please consult
  vignette("zoo-quickref", package = "zoo")
  vignette("zoo", package = "zoo")
as well as the "Date and Time Classes" article by Gabor Grothendieck and
Thomas Petzoldt in R News 4(1), 29-32. (available from your favourite CRAN
mirror).
