I hope it goes up in value soon. After recent difficulty rises my profit has plummeted. I've been looking into mining some of the new alt-coins instead.
Just be careful with what coins you choose and do your research. If the 'alt' coin hasn't had its source code reviewed/validated then there is always the possibility of built in malware. I'd recommend running them in a virtual machine if possible.
I mine new alt coins as well, there is just risk there. Many of them end up failing.
