Start to collect an alt coin and then trade it on an exchange. This is the best thing to do when the price of btc is heaving like it has for the past 48 hours. That is what real bitcoiner do when the times are looking bleak. Trade more like squirrels readying themselves for a price dump winter fallout. 
Yes, this is a good advice and idea to pursue. Right now, I have already decided to also explore cryptocurrency trading with emphasis on small alternative coins as they have the potential to really make a killing but we have to pick up a winning coin and not a losing one. I heard that traders are really making good money here and I hope we can be a part of it...want to have a little slice of the pie for each of us here.
Trading altcoin is a good way to make good profits in short term but the only issue I face is how can we know that this coin will pump in next few days as its really hard to predict what price it will be holding in next couple of hours and that makes bit worried to invest in altcoins.
