In this article, I will show you how I attempted to predict the stock market future price using Monte Carlo simulation and the Python programming language! To do this, I used data from the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), which tracks the performance of the S&P 500 index. According to thebalance.com, “the S&P 500 is a stock market index that tracks the stocks of 500 large-cap U.S. companies.
