In A LOT of the cases, ICO price falls down at the end of the ICO. I believe in 95% of the ICO, the best strategy is to wait until after the end. It gives you some extra advantages:
- serious possibility of lower price (than ICO price)
- you can check how much money was risen, thus having an idea about support and seriousness of the project
By the way, I use some of the following parameters - from a speculative point of view:
* TEAM- if team members are known, check their profiles and experience
- if team members are anonymous, check if there's a specific reason why they remain anonymous (for ex. because it's an anonimity coin). If there is no reason, I consider it as scam unless proven otherwise
* DEVELOPMENTDo a follow-up of the development on social channels. No news of development for 4 months? Stop kidding yourself then.
* SUPPLYNORMALLY (yes, not always), the higher the supply, the lower the chance of extremely high prices. But exceptions exist of course, especially for really good projects.
* SUPPORT / COMMUNITYCheck for numbers of followers: on Twitter, FB, BTCtalk threads and so on. NORMALLY (yes not always...) the higher the support, the more lifespan is guaranteed.
* THE PROJECT - OF COURSEThe most important thing. Just another payment coin? Just another gambling project? Real estate?
I mean, is it really an interesting project which has something new to offer? Be realistic and ask yourself:
1. Is this what we (or some - enough people to keep it alive) are waiting for? Gap in the market? Interesting project?
2. Does the fact that the project is created on the Blockchain create an added value?
HOPE THIS HELPS!
Sumptuously!
Delicately, and most importantly in simple words given a maximum of useful information.
And I will add - now I draw attention to who is the manager of the company's bounty. If I already worked with him and was successful - I will join.
