Cheap coins don't matter it is the ROI that matters in the end. I like all the picks you have except Ripple, and even then you can get into Ripple but perhaps right now is not the best time for entry.
I have to do some more research on that, but that's true, at the end the coin really doesn't matter, it's the ROI.
Recently i found some inspirational posts, turning 10k into 1m, and reading that i've seen that holding has a lot more potential than just daytrading.
