On a similar vein, can you rotate the graph so that the spikes go
horizontally rather than vertically.  This would allow for a series of
labels on the 'Y' axis corresponding to each spike.

the spike
You can place a scatter plot with marker labels over the spike plot.  
For example:
sysuse sp500, clear
keep in 1/10
gen mean = (high + low)/2
twoway rspike high low date  /// 
|| scatter mean date, msymbol(none) mlabel(date) mlabposition(0) legend
(off)
Hope this helps,
Scott
