In this article I will attempt to create a python program/model to predict the future price of the S&P500. Keep in mind that no model is perfect but they can get close. I will be using a simple linear regression model to make the prediction.
What’s The S&P500 ?
According to Wikipedia, the Standard and Poor’s 500, or simply the S&P 500, is a stock market index tracking the performance of 500 large companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States.-Wikipedia
On average the S&P500 has historically returned 15.25% year to date. It is used as a broad-based measure of large corporations traded on U.S. stock markets.
