First of all, what coin you are going to mine very much depends on your hardware. Not all algos are equally suited for certain classes of hardware.
I don't care if it's profitable now or not and don't tell me "go mine XMR, ETH, etc..." or "Mine BTC and buy the coins"...
Any good coins ?
That can be a risky but profitable strategy. To choose a relatively unknown but promising coin (by relatively I mean at least promising in the short run) without checking the current profitability. Once it goes up, dump the coins and make profit.
I suggest looking into X16R or X16S coins. They seem to be ASIC resistant, at least for the time being.
