Obviously, and now that most altcoins are currently down without much movement, that would be the best way to go. However, like you have mentioned, there is a huge need to know which coin to pick and with the sentiments going around in the market, no one will want to be choosing a coin that may get fully dumped and end up shitty if there tends to be a market crash which there could be a possibility and will be affecting a lot of markets in the event where that happens.
