I see LTC is down in recent days, and I think this is the right time to buy LTC and hold until Halving Bitcoin occurs. With your $ 1300 you will get 23 LTC at the current price. I personally still hold LTC that I bought last month.
Litecoin is one of the best altcoins out there but I really think that it is a bad idea to invest in altcoins, I know that the possibilities of earning a great deal money are present but the market conditions seems to indicate that the price is going to keep going down during the next days and weeks, and if I am correct then there is no point in investing in altcoins now when you're just going to lose money.
I have always thought that there are moments in which it is not a good idea to trade the markets and in which it is better to take a break and do something else and as I look at the market I cannot shake the sensation that this is one of those moments.
