plot is all black

I am running a plot and it is all black, my data is just a series of returns and dates -
I have no error messages

Here is my code

returns <- read.csv("/Users/Analytics/HWS/F-F_Research_Data_Factors.CSV")
plot(returns$Date,returns$Mkt.RF,xlab="Date",ylab="Excess Return",col="blue")

System Information:

  • sessionInfo():

There's not enough information to help you. Can you provide the code to generate this plot in form of a reprex?

yes apologies i thought I had posted it

returns <- read.csv("/Users/Analytics/HWS/F-F_Research_Data_Factors.CSV")
plot(returns$Date,returns$Mkt.RF,xlab="Date",ylab="Excess Return",col="blue")

the data has 4 columns with 1000 entries each

thanks!
