Thank you for all the work you are doing to teach us newbies! I've managed to "repair" my bad trades I did before I found your blog.
Now, for the fork. I sold most of my BTC at 2400 Euro a couple of days ago as I believe Bitcoin Cash will be near worthless in minutes after the fork. And if it don't, I think I'll do better having fiat to buy cheap BTC's after the fork.
As for altcoins I think there will not be time to follow them at the time of the fork, and my plan is to set limit buys at very low levels on the altcoins I believe in - hoping to get a few lucky strikes. Such as EOS, IOT, PAY, LTC and a couple more. Good luck to everybody at fork time!
