Is today the right time to start buying alt-coins?

I think you can buying now with altcoin in lowest price long time and can't continue falldown, but in present not have altcoin as my tell. All market are green again and maybe are bull trap all. Waiting the memes buying stop and shopping when the bloodbath happening I think better than

I think it's not that too late since the price is getting back up since it was down last few days. You can still buy now and hold them as what you are planning for either a long-term or short-term investments. I think the bitcoin market is pumping again you can buy now because it is not that too high enough then hold it till your target price hit right. Just choose a good alt-coins to buy for your future preferences and more investors will continue to support for it if it looks so promising.

I do think so, yes! Because the long term trend of BTC/USD has changed direction today. We got above the 2400 barrier. Now that the trend has changed, all other coins will follow soon too.

In my opinion it is now a little late to buy in some alt coin,
  But all the time can be the best time if you buy the right coin.

I think it's a good time to buy alt-coins. A lot of alt coins are showing potential. My brother earned a lot because of this. He had a 50% profit holding his alt coin. Who knows how high will some altcoins value increase. It's better to buy when it is in it's cheapest price.
