I'm a little surprised at some of what happens, but you can get date labels on
the x axis like this:
drng <- as.Date( c('2005-1-1' , '2005-12-31') )
plot(1, type="n", xlab="", ylab="", xaxt='n', xlim=drng, ylim=c(-.5, -10))
axis(1, at= pretty(drng), lab=format(pretty(drng)))
and if you prefer some other date format, specify it in the call to format()
Did you intend to reverse the direction of your y axis?

Dear Experts,
I generated the plot attached. Every other thing is OK except the black
horizontal lines which should appear like points or dots as the coloured
ones. I can't understand why.
I tried to change it to look like dots by calling empty plots so that I
will add them as points.
Since I have a range of date that can fall any where within 2005, I tried:
plot(1, type="n", xlab="", ylab="",
xlim=c(as.Date("2005-01-01"),as.Date("2005-12-31")), ylim=c(-.5, -10))
ylim worked fine but xlim instead of appearing like date as indicated on
the x-axes of the attached plot, translated to ordinary numbers (12800,
12900,13000, 13100).
All the data is of the same format:
2005-01-04 -2.76105935648091
