Hey,
As everyone has said before me, you just need to DYOR. in my opinion, it's not that hard... there are a few key indicators to see if an ICO is legit (I'm sure you can find more of this on youtube or whatever... ) But here are the top ones:
1. Does the company have a clear plan for AFTER the ICO ends? If yes, this is a good bet that they have a real business model
2. Do they have any partners/backing of companies who already established
3. Can you research the team behind the project (see if their linkedin profiles look legit or not... check carefully.)
4. reach out to their customer service. Do they have involvement in the community? like real involvment... not a half-a$$ed facebook page.
5. Do they have legit blog posts on medium
6. Can you understand their road map? If it's vague, it's a no go.
7. Do you actually need to buy their Token? If you ask yourself "why do they need to be on blockchain?" its probably not legit. They should have a clear reason to be building on BC technology.
Those are my top ones when researching. If you want some good examples of a legit ico look at Wanchain, Zeex and then compare to those. Thats how I learned, is by learning a legit ICO really well, it makes it really easy to spot fakes.

Hello, any suggestions and advices in investing in ICO's?
Although ICO investment, but is profitable it is very difficult to find out a real and successful ICO. Because there are a lot of ICO here. A lot of ICO is coming in every day. Most of the ICO's are scam and unsuccessful. That why ICO investment is very risky. So, you have to study a lot about that ICO you want to invest there. So, my suggestion is taking some time to understand the market trend and ICO investment. Otherwise, you will lose your capital.
Friend, before investing in anything, it is very easy to think and evaluate risks. After all, risks are great especially in the crypto-currency industry, volatility is huge. But if you still decide to invest, then invest as much as not afraid to lose. And do not invest everything in one coin or token, share the risks.
As a newbie, myself, I've had a lot of similar advice about investing in ICO. They pretty much all said that it was extremely risky and that if I really wanted to take the risk I should pick the most reliable one. There's a lot of scams out there, so personally, I'm focusing on whitepapers to learn more about the topic. Best of luck! 
If you are a newbie I suggest you learn a lot and study a lot before trying to invest into any icos.
At first, you have to know about trading.I think you are a new face of this section.so, I'll suggest you that know about cryptocurrency and this related topic. Good Luck here 
Hello, any suggestions and advices in investing in ICO's?
the first suggestion is: DYOR!you must research a lot before participating in ICO
learn how to recognize good projects and how cryptoworld works, ask to veterans and learn from them
once you have the names....
hold your coins and never sell anything!
if you are a newbie you should know a lot before coming to the ICO before investing if you do not have enough knowledge when it comes to this system you can lose if you do not really know this way.Read whitepaper, Vision, Find team members , Ratings etc. Before you invest money. Even though I'm a newbie at the same time I'm studying every approach I here without losing my capital
Hello, any suggestions and advices in investing in ICO's?
You'll frequently want to identify very strong projects and preferably get in during pre-sale to obtain the best rates. This is often times done by a lot of research, large amounts of capital and value adds (marketing, security solutions and others).
Otherwise, you can just simply buy any project at market when they come out if you want a simple and cheap way of being involved.
Hello, any suggestions and advices in investing in ICO's?
I advise you with particular caution to invest your money in ICO. Before investing, detailed study of the project and the team, look at the rating of the project on various specialized sites. For example on https://icodrops.com/
If, despite all these risks, you still decide to put your money in a highly speculative investment, Ford recommends you be living below your means, be debt-free, have an appropriate amount of emergency savings (usually, anywhere from three to 12 months’ worth of essential expenses depending on your personal circumstances), and be on track with big financial goals such as saving for retirement and your children’s college tuition's. "You have to be comfortable losing everything," she says.
Research is must when you are evaluating a fresh ICO investment. I recommend you to investigate the members of the ICO team thoroughly, in particular, discover their experience. Search them on Google and read through their profiles on LinkedIn.
Check out whether the team holds any kind of experience in cryptocurrencies. Ensure that some of them have been involved in ICOs in the past.

You have to read whitepaper and check the roadmap. Now a days most of the coin goes down after the ICO. My suggestion will be buy some waves, Dct or ETH. It will be the best choice.
A different approach - that has less (but still present) risk is to research the companies and projects during their ICO phase, but don't buy in yet.
A general cycle that's apparent (and been taught to me) is that when an ICO doesn't blow up from a scam, hack, or loss, it generally dumps for the first 1-2 months.
Once it bottoms - and if you've done your research verifying it's a project you feel strongly towards - buy it then.
Sure you won't get ICO-level pricing, but likely not far from it.
Since the vast majority of the risk is at the ICO stage, the slightly higher cost post-dump from those who did buy at the ICO stage will be worth the wait.
Just my two cents, but this gives you plenty of time to research the right projects and buy at the most opportune times instead of gambling on the ICO succeeding.

Only invest an amount that you can afford to lose. The reason I say this is that an ICO has a good chance of failing. I heard someone say that it’s like investing in a penny stock. You could lose it all or you could make a lot of money.
You could look into a couple of methods of getting ICO tokens for free such as an airdrop, signature campaign that pays out ICO tokens, or bounty campaign.
