FIGURE: plot monthly data and only present the years

Hi I'm trying to plot monthly data and only present the years on the x-axis. Is this method correct?

startdate = datenum('31-01-2002','dd-mm-yyyy')
enddate = datenum('31-12-2010','dd-mm-yyyy')
dt = linspace(startdate,enddate,108);
data = rand(numel(dt),1);
plot(dt,data)
datetick('x','yyyy','keepticks')

It's 96 months how will you represent them?

I'm trying to plot monthly (x-axis) stock prices (y-axis) and I can't seem to get the x-axis with correct labeling, that is counting it in months. The first thing I tried was (see below) but it didn't work. Dou have a better solution? :)

startdate = datenum('01-2002','mm-yyyy');
enddate = datenum('12-2011','mm-yyyy');
dt = linspace(startdate,enddate,120);
data = rand(numel(dt),1); %random data
plot(dt,data)
hold on
datetick('x','yyyy','keepticks');
hold off
