Hi

I have created the following plot over the empirical returns.. What I now
want to do is to overlay a curve/line with the normal density as a
comparison of the two. Does anyone know how to do this?
(NB the last two lines are the problem, and are wrong, I know). 

Thank you in advance!

S%26P_500_spot_and_return_2010.csv 

setwd("F:/Data til speciale/")

marketdata <- read.csv(file="S&P 500 spot and return 2010.csv", header=TRUE,
sep=";")
returns <- marketdata[,7]               

### Kernel density estimator ###########################

x <- density (returns)

plot(density(returns), main = "Kernel density")
y <- rnorm(209,mean=0,sd=1)
curve(dnorm(y,mean=mean(normal1),sd=sd(normal1)))
