All you Wranglers, did you have your lassos tied to your belt ready to rope in Monday’s massive rally?

Over the weekend we asked for a Market Whisperer. We asked if the market would allow investors to saddle up.
After finding a modicum of trust last Friday, the horse (market) and rider (investors) did indeed go for a gallop. Led by impressive strength in the Transportation sector, the rest of the Modern Family got out their riding boots, spurs and crops.

Some of the Family rode out to join Trannies as the backup posse. Others bridled their horses, but stayed in the barn.

The Dow soared past 18k after realizing the Gremlin he thought he saw was merely a figment of his imagination. Presently, the Dow has ponied up into an unconfirmed bullish phase.

With one day left before the election, will the rest of the investor riders consider entry into the Rodeo?
You must click the link below to see the rest of the commentary.

The Russell 2000’s high tick from last week was 118.70. Today’s high print 118.82. It closed at 118.52. That will make post-election prices a bit clearer.

Monday, Granddad took his horse out in the ring. If Gramps does enter the Rodeo, he will go for barrel racing. His horse will need athletic ability. And Gramps IWM must find the skills to successfully maneuver the horse around obstacles.

Grandma Retail stayed in the barn, although she donned her cute pink lasso and white chaps. However, getting her on a horse will require a much bigger move than the one today.

For now, Granny has chosen mutton busting as her rodeo event. Typically reserved for kids, Granny will ride a sheep and try to hold on for more than 8 seconds.

Transportation trains for bull riding, the big event. IYT must not get bucked off the bull and stay atop long enough to qualify.

As far as the rest of the Family, Regional Banks likes calf roping. Currently, KRE is on the horse. But dismounting and tying the calf’s legs in record time will mostly likely come down to the December Fed policy.

Sister Semiconductors doesn’t do Rodeos. She prefers the tech mechanical bull.

Biotechnology is the Rodeo clown. The comic relief IBB can provide will begin by holding Monday’s lows.

Whether the other investors and market instruments participate or not remains to be seen. One thing we can all agree on-this is NOT our first Rodeo!

S&P 500 (SPY): If volume is any indicator, today's was light. Lots of overhead resistance. Support now 210 with 212 pivotal

IBB (Biotechnology) If investors wake up we will see it here. 256 support and 272 big overhead resistance

IYR (Real Estate) The makings of a possible reversal pattern
