S&P 500 Historical and Simulated Results

S&P500 monthly data from Jan 1950 to Jun 2010 (SPX from finance.yahoo.com).  The first graph shows the 20 years annualized performance (before v.s. after)



The second graph shows the simulated result (mean=5.7347%, sigma=14.601%).



From the two graphs, we can see the simulated random walk result is more scattered with a lower R value.
