If you buy some now, you will get extra coin after the fork

that's something to look for too Wink

I've heard of ethereum fork, is it like bitcoin fork that produces bitcoin cash?
if so, would the extra coin of ethereum fork be a new coin?

Yes, it will be like that. Not sure what would be the name, and how it will all play out, but whoever has ethereum (I believe same rules as Bitcoin, you need to have at least 1) and a wallet that supports the next coin and you golden

lol, where did you get the information, one thing i know is that not each hard fork will bring about a new coin, such as this time, since all people come to an agreement, that will no new coins appear

In theory every time a hard fork happens there's some chance of getting a new coin. It depends on the miners. If some miners refuse to start mining the new fork, they can always stay mining the old fork and give the old coin they mine a new name. But that's just in theory. There's no different groups with different ideas fighting over future of ethereum. So unlike with Bitcoin it's very unlikely for Ethereum some miners will continue to use the old fork. Especially because the fork will make mining difficulty lower. Why would any miner hater mining more ethereum with the same hardware and power consumption and rather stay on the old fork.
