This looks correct to me. The read.csv function assumes the first line  
in the file is a header, and it also uses the "," character a the  
separator between columns. Try:

ret <- read.csvl('Ret.csv', header=FALSE)

Still you'll have two columns, but I'm guessing the "," in your data  
is the decimal separator, in which case you should use read.csv2 (its  
"dec" argument defaults to ",").

alternatively, since your file just looks like one column, you can use  
the readLine() function and it will get you what you want, too.
