[R-SIG-Finance] PerformanceAnalytics package

[Jeff Ryan]

Can you include your sessionInfo() output as well. 

You may be running old packages or some strange combination. Without knowing your context a guess is all that we can muster. 

Best,
Jeff

PS. StackOverflow may be the current 'cool' but it is mostly fracturing the answer base when it comes to R and Finance. In general that's a very bad thing. Unless of course those SO points you accumulate have some sort of store you can cash them in at. I think the store is Joel's pocket.
