I'm just looking at mining a few of the minor coins, build a small portfolio and see if I can grow it on the markets.
If you're wanting to play with trading it would be much easier to buy in rather than mine. The latter will be a bit of fun, but it will probably take ages to build any useful volume. You're effectively trading the cost of electricity for coin, and if Bitcoin value continues falling (it's dropped about 20% from its peak a few days ago) you may end up starting off your coin trading with an effective net loss.
