I'm a newbie.. Done a fair amount of research. I'd recommend going slow and starting small to get a better feel. Having started with five coins around a few hundred each. Eventually consolidated to these three after further research:
Achain
Cpchain
Iot Chain
Their telegram groups are great and growing fast. These three are undervalued sleepers in my newbie opinion. Oh.. and bought 8000 dogecoins for the $44 i had left over. calling them my pet coins.. Was up $20 on my doges
