Hello, friend. 1200$ is not that much of an investment, however you can do something with that number. ETH + ETC is a good thinking to my mind: pumps are inevitable with these 2 coins, especially I am too bullish on Ethereum Classic (hasn't been pumped for almost a year now). But please don't take into consideration these trash coins -  Elix , PRL , Blue , AMP. If market collapses, they are going to fall hard. Also take a closer look at Fusion, good entrance price right now.
pay attention to ico, I suggest you look at Eloncity, the project is very interesting
