Top ICO's to date imo would be:

https://trade.io/
https://gladius.io/

The rest were good but not impressive!

Choose an ICO that suits you best. Find that out by doing research on the ICO through whitepaper and checking sites that review that ICO, and examples are below:

Bitcointalk : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php
ICOtoINVEST : https://icotoinvest.com/
CoinSchedule : https://www.coinschedule.com/
icoRating : http://icorating.com/

An important part of your research would be looking into the Team that will and making sure it is solid and that they can support and maintain the project and it's community!

A good and current example below:

I would suggest trade.io that is a new Blockchain Trading platform. It's currently on PRE-ICO and doing very well.
It's soft cap was $5M and they are on their way to hitting $10M in less than 2 weeks. With the help of their solid team, they will achieve a great many things. This is only the beginning for trade.io. You can find them at the links posted below.

Ripple too "swinging" around the $0.23-0.26 mark... not going any higher for the moment.

But im quite happy to share with the community that Ethereum and other Altcoins will increase in value.

I would suggest you invest in an ICO as promising as trade.io.
It has passed its soft cap in the PRE-ICO, it's currently raised more than $8M so far!

The video below can explain more about the ICO itself.

They also have a bounty program and airdrop too on Telegram. For more information feel free to ask trade.io representatives!

No need to for any kind of emotion about this just yet. Even if you try and google about it, there is no strong information regarding it. Not much up to date information either! Lack of community too.

It's actually quite funny and ironic simultaneously! Can't be real though right? 

It's obvious that Bitcoin has proven to be the stronger of the two coins but recent articles have shown that Ethereum and Altcoins in general are still in the "game".

and

Both promising news for Altcoin!

You have several options. A couple of them could be..

You could save abit more money and invest in Bitcoin/Ethereum or another strong Altcoin with definite long term profits.
or
You could look into a new ICO that has potential to be a success and will work in the long run also.

Not surprised tbh, from day one it seemed somewhat dodgy and i did not bother to invest in this.

LTC has always been a long term investment, even though it dips from time to time, it's showing progress on a daily basis - slow progress but it's progress nevertheless.

Bitcoin Clashic? Surely this is another joke right?

Ethereum Classic is an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality.
It provides a decentralised Turing-complete virtual machine, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which can execute scripts using an international network of public nodes.
Ethereum Classic also provides a value token called "classic ether", which can be transferred between participants, stored in a cryptocurrency wallet and is used to compensate participant nodes for computations performed.
The classic ether token is traded on cryptocurrency exchanges under the ticker symbol ETC.
Thank Wiki for the information.

Well PRE-ICO's can be good, due to the fact that Token prices are cheaper than ICO stage or later stage. $100 investment is not a big investment and if you can afford to lose that amount, then no big deal.
As regards the ICO you invested in, i don't know it, but i hope you did you research before you invested in them!

Crypto is basicly a job nowadays, so if you quit crypto, it's like you quit your job - well, atleast thats how i feel.

If you think that you cannot pull out of Cryptoworld then your probably a materialistic person and you need councelling

The article above says that Bitcoin is on the rise, and so are Altcoins and apparently the total Altcoin market cap crossed $100 billion for the first time! So yes Altcoins are on the rise.

There is a rough amount of 18 ICO's per month, successful and non-successful, so yes that number is correct.

Magazines like Forbes are here to promote coins through articles - create hype for something and see it's potential. Ultimately, Forbes' goal is to advertise and sell. So yes, they are probably paid.

Happy news for Bitcoin and Altcoin!
The total Altcoin market cap crossed $100 billion for the first time! It seems it's going well for Altcoin afterall.

link found on facebook page ICOtoInvest for those curious.

I agree with the description of ICO and IPO but as regards the Tokensales part..  Tokensales is the ICO. Do you mean that Token distribution happens after ICO, i believe that is what you meant.
