Ethereum has proved that is a decent coin. His price has raised more then double in the last weeks. I believe that it is the next Bitcoin! I suggest you to buy some and save it for at least 6 months
I think price doesn't say anything because maybe some "rich guy" can "surfing" on that moment, you should have some knowledges about your altcoin's system, Etherum got a good basic system and something new that can't find at Bitcoin, so it's enough to become another currency side by side bitcoin.
