[R-SIG-Finance] [R] portfolio optimization problem - use R

[markleeds at verizon.net]

  Hi: Patrick Burns POP software solves the problem below. I don't think 
quadprog does because of the transaction cost term but you can check out 
quadprog to confirm. I'm ccing sig-finance because someone over there 
may say/know more ?
