     The quantmod package for R is designed to assist the quantitative
     trader in the development, testing, and deployment of
     statistically based trading models.

     _What quantmod IS_

     A rapid prototyping environment, where quant traders can quickly
     and cleanly explore and build trading models.

     _What quantmod is NOT_

     A replacement for anything statistical. It has no 'new' modelling
     routines or analysis tool to speak of. It does now offer charting
     not currently available elsewhere in R, but most everything else
     is more of a wrapper to what you already know and love about the
     langauge and packages you currently use.

     quantmod makes modelling easier by removing the repetitive
     workflow issues surrounding data management, modelling interfaces,
     and performance analysis.
