If you have to ask, i'd probably point you towards exchanges. ICOs are very risky and there are way too many scam artists running ICOs to try and get rich quick. Buy a solid coin with proven track records on one of the alt exchanges (like Binance, for example), your investment will be much safer and you might end up even making more money out of it.

Yes, buying on exchanges is better idea in terms of safety as prescribed by taditional finance folks. But hey!, you are reading this in a bitcoin forum. We are here to change the rules.
You decide what you want.

I believe now that it is better to buy some tokens that are greatly undervalued currently because of BTC rally, you can also diversify your portfolio because it will be a foolish thing to put all your eggs in one basket

I can't understand people who want to invest the whole their money into only one type of assets. You are at a very risky, but very profitable market. You ought to make different portfolios for different purposes. For example you may invest your $5k in two portfolios: 70-80% for the investing in already existed cryptos, 20-30% for ICO.

Some of the promising ICOs going on at present that I can vouch for are Bankex and INS. Though you must do your own research and only invest into those that you believe in. Don't believe the hype as its easy to create on facebook, twitter with bounty campaigns.

If you don't want to put the time to research and come at your own decision, then just buy some of the long held coins at exchanges that have delivered for some time. There is no safe invest in crypto right now. 5000$ is a sufficiently big amount depending on where you live and what you do.
So I'd suggest that put some amount in ICOs that you have researched and believe in, some in exchanges buying established coins (GNT, LSK, ARK, CAPP, ETH, XRP) and atleast 30% of your investment in good'ol BTC.

In my opinion, 5000$ is not a lot so I  think it's better to put in ICO, check out my signature for a very promising new ICO, they raised over 30 million usd already ! crazy right !?

You can go into ICO investment but it is indeed risky if you have no knowledge on the project.
There are good ICOs running atm, like trade.io and im planning to invest in them. I'm already participating in the Bounty and look forward to the future of this new blockchain trading platform.

Going for an ICO is a very risky business imo. If you wanna put money on ICO, just consider you are buying a lottery ticket and consider the money you put in is lost.

Never buy a ico! The chance you will regret is 99% because you simply don't buy just one ico, it will be a lot. Buy on exchanges even coin has lots of potential.

The potential explosion I think come from the ICO sales.
When it's going down in exchanges, it takes more time to recover.
There are exceptions, of course, like the IOTA case.

I have $5.000 to invest in altcoins.
Should I buy directly in ICO sales or in Exchanges ?  I'm seeing some altcoins in exchanges with lower prices than the ICO.
For instance: buying OMG in an exchange of APPC (https://appcoins.io) on the ICO sale that opens in Wednesday ?
