Looks like a very uneducated very fractured portfolio. Ripple AND ETH? Why not just put your fiat in the bank? Rofl. Never heard of aeon, stratis had a huge pump and seems to be more stable now... ya. I'd say you need bitcoins. They're on sale, 20% off. Buy em while you can.

It looks very risky, like a 100% gamble. Any portfolio that consists entirely of alt coins is a gamble, not an investment.

If you really, truly believe in crypto, just buy some BTC and hodl. That being said, it is still a highly risky and speculative investment.

I can't see it, page not found.
If you have some amount of bitcoin, divide into some altcoins is not bad. Furthermore, ethereum has significant increase within this month and may keep increasing due to many projects used it as medium of exchange. I think ethereum could reach over $400 in the next month if it still has steady increases.

Diversification is the key to when you invest :

Buy some ETC , ETH , ZEC

Spreading your portfolio among many coins is most important and a good strategy for trading success. You cannot really analyze any coins perfectly be it bitcoin or ethereum because of our general perception and emotions. Divide your portfolio in eth and bitcoin is best thing to do.

if you don't already have bitcoin then you should get it fast, actually you should have bought some yesterday. it is already too late today because price got out of its dip and we may not see another big dip like that for some time.

as for your portfolio, i think you are spreading things too much and in a couple of altcoins that are already pumped a lot. it is best if you dont over-diversify. just stick to a handful so that you can keep track of them and also don't stay in an altcoin for long.

thanks everyone

as i didnt put a lot of money in this portfolio - it is not risky for me as i would not loose anything besides that money if its all gone ...

but i agree with everyone here about AEON, NXT or IOTA in my portfolio...

will keep ETH, might add a bit of Bitcoin if there is dip

wanted to invest 1 ETH into Civic on Wed

thx

Your portfolio is too risky I think, too many coins and you buy too high. Before you buy, see again the price action using long time period. After that buy coin with only 10% from your money, do that repeatedly ( martiangle strategy ). Buy again another coin with the same strategy, just buy 2 coins never buy again. Too many coins with too high price can make panic sell if the price going down. Next month you can trade eth in btc, this time the price still high. So, be careful with your money and good luck.

This seems a good plan as you need to focus only on highly established coins rather than just looking into some sites and buying some coins which are having high market cap.

If you are still expecting bitcoin to hit $2000 to buy more, probably you will get disappointment alone. Because it is highly expected bitcoin to break $3000 levels and also may hit $3300 very soon. So, acting right now to buy at current market prices is highly recommended.

But you should be aware that you might have to wait months to sell any tokens you buy during ICO. You should have some more in hands to buy other alts, don't invest all you have in ICO.
