[R] Problem on plotting TS using GGPLOT

[Bogaso]

Thanks Gabor for your input. However I know there is option in "zoo" to plot
multiple time series. However I want to go with ggplot2 because it looks
better. If anyone point me where is the problem in my ggplot2 code, I would
be truly grateful.

Thanks,
