2 week ceasefire, can you trust this!?

So all the European and UK markets are up massively on the new $VUKE (-0.17%)
$VTI (-0.29%)
$VMID (-1%)
$VUSA (-0.15%)
$VGER (-0.47%) and expecting $GOOG (-0.5%)
$HTGC (+0.38%)
$AMZN (-0.32%)
$AAPL (-0.16%) to push up at US open. But is it just me, but does this not feel like a bull trap? I dont trust that this is the end of the issues with US/IRAN , and dont even feel like they stick to the ceasefire. I know its only known by those in power, but i might take this time to sell in to strength, and keep some cash on the side for if and when it comes down again?! Whats everyone elses thoughts on this?

Well, I don’t have a crystal ball, and I’m not sure how much you can even trust one? I don’t really trust the peace either, and I sell into strength as well. For me right now, it’s all about risk management. I’d rather leave a bit of upside on the table than lose money. And that way I still have cash ready for new opportunities. But my investment horizon and my strategy might be quite different from many others🤔

@TomTurboInvest yes of course everyone’s horizons different but I think a lot of sensible investors will realise that this euphoria that we are seeing today wont last. Trump provides opportunities to buy and sell but I like to have a plan and stick to it. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
