cumulative returns
I am so sorry to trouble - I was experiencing "issues" with Return.cumulative, so I decided to go to the sample and just ran this code:
data(managers) Return.cumulative(managers[,1])
When I do this, I get:
Return.cumulative(managers[,1]) HAM1 Cumulative Return 3.126671
That's not what I was expecting at all. I feel terrible - as I am sure it's something wrong on my end... any ideas, if I may? I made sure all my packages are up to date, and I even restarted my session. I was expecting a history of cumulative returns.
many thanks, thomas
