Just giving you a heads up, 99% of the alt coins are a waste of time and do not fulfill the main concept of the digital currency concept.
Invest only in Bitcoin (BTC) , it has more support and interest than any other coins(projects).
Although you might still find other projects with great support (either in great developers or they are heavily invested by many), like
Litecoin (which suffers from a few big holders that manipulate the price, but you might earn a bit of $ from it in the short range aka mt.gox announce to add it to their trading). and
Mastercoin / https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=265488.0;topicseen (which has already been funded with 5000BTC to kick off with the development)
Don't make the same mistake I did wasting my time on other failing alt coins..
Hope this info helps you decide where to start.
Good Luck.
