Right now, not even close. If scaling problems arise again, then there could be some increase in the value of bitcoin cash. But I don't think it will increase enough to pose a threat to Bitcoin.

This. Keep an eye on the fees for bitcoin transactions - if they spike, people may start moving money using bitcoin cash instead. Bitcoin cash doesn't need to increase fees, it can just pack a lot of transactions into big blocks and make money from the volume.

There's always a possibility. But this possibility is not that promising. If you can notice, bitcoin cash didn't receive much attention upon its launch. People in cryptocurrency world seemed to care less about that. Some even say they will dump it immediately. So if i were to ask, i don't it is a good idea to invest in bcc. Aside that it is new, it is really unstable compare to other cryptocurrency. But the choice is always yours, i'm saying this because that what i've noticed and may help you with your decision.

I think bitcoin core will ever remain the gold standard to others cryptocurrency  and because of this I doubt if it value will be surpass by that of bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin core has a very strong foundation both online and off line for years and that is why with the splitting it value keep increasing. With time you will  understand what I am talking about.

If BCH survives the few coming weeks and becomes stable, and there is improvement in the transaction time, i guess people might start transacting more with BCH than BTC, if that happens in addition to the fees for BTC transactions which is higher, it will cause BCH to go up in value, but surpassing BTC, only time will tell.

Given its network hash rate, it is hard to surpass bitcoin. Unless something bad happen to bitcoin and miners switch to mine bitcoin cash causing the network hash rate flips.

Do you believe that having bigger blocks is a better solution than having segwit to solve scaling problems? If yes, then you should gamble your money on BCH, otherwise, stay on bitcoin.

But since you are just investing, BCH does not have to overthrow or get ahead of bitcoin. It just needs to have a higher price than when you bought it. The price of BCH now is down, you can buy now and gamble that the people behind it will try to pump it for exposure.

I don't think bitcoin cash can surpass the value of bitcoin for the reason that it is another altcoin that others put their money before just to double their investment in bitcoin. As of today bitcoin price is keep increasing and bch is hardly to surpass this price. Think before investing and do some research your decision is at your hands.
