The idea was a long time ago, doubt market will ever see 1800. Considering US elections, it all depends on the results of the elections and what the elected will do. Personally I'd prefer the idea of spx going up, it would naturally bring calm, though not sure what the cost would be(more qe?). If it happens to be a correction, hopefully it will not be as bad as to seriously affect business. Anyways, if spx happens to break below 2000 by end of the year, it might be the start of a bear market. The number is kinda simbolic. Above 2200 will signal another period of bull market.
