i guess you mean VTC is 10x over its low.
Zet is not. ZET is about 1,2x over its low and can be bought really cheap.
At the Moment i ride LTC, and bought IFC from my last profit.
IFC is like ZET quiet cheap right now(1x over its low).
As i said earlier i recommend splitting orders (scale in and out) at all times,
to get a better entry and exit.

Anyway if you don't feel good with my recommendations, no problem

.
Any investments need confidence to not sell it too early.
My main focus is at the moment on forex,
maybe i publish other coins later when i have new capital/profit for reinvesting free.

You could name some coins out of your portofolio when you can tell an entry and Target,
if you feel save and find them worth to share.

greetings

I slightly remember 100-150 Satoshi in 2013. I wish I would buy ZET this March. A coin is not bad really, thank you you've reminded about it.

In my opinion it is better to invest in large amount of coins, traded on Cryptsy. Why?
Because Cryptsy is the only exchange that doesn't delist coins. There were issues with Mintpal and Bittrex when trading there.

If you buy or sell 100 different coins, you have no problem with liquidity. That is why index investing is great, in my opinion.
If you buy one coin only, and you are a whale, it would be difficult to sell your coins when price rises x10 or x50.
If you ask about middle cap and quite liquid coins, I could recommend RDD, EAC, MOON, if about less liquid and small cap favors there can be OPAL, MYR, NOBL and old veterans like BQC, TRC... Ultra small cap (experimental): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1092465

I think now it is good time to buy altcoins. Trend is up since Jan 2015. When to exit? I don't know now, I will look at altcoin index trend, I will read news. If LTC price is $50 or $25-$30 there may be long term local maximum of LTC and of the whole alt-coin market.

There is a problem of attacks for small coins, but if a coin is listed on Cryptsy, they are motivated to defend it, to keep looking if there are blockchain reorganizations and to audit accounts. Because if 51% attack happens, it will affect an exchange. There is a lot of discussing on 51% attack, but I don't remember even one incident with old and small coins on Cryptsy since 2013. What I remember: CENT was broken and delisted but then fixed and relisted, and LGD (Legendary) coin was delisted as it had an exploit inside (suspected coin developer manipulation of generated coins). 2 coins only from ~300, if you know more incidents with Cryptsy coins, please share.

Certainly investing in Litecoin is great. But there are some limitations. I don't see that LTC market cap can be higher than market cap of Bitcoin, maybe after 30 years, when next generation comes, not earlier. Previous maximum of $50 for LTC will matter also and I doubt LTC price can rise more than x5 times from current value this year.
With high valued coins the problem is that you never know what the minimum will be when price is starting to decline. For ultra small market cap coins you can simply buy all coins when market cap is under $5,000 and thus be sure that price will not be lower. You can not say the same about high valued coins with margin trading.

One important thing about altcoin market that it is not similar to stock market. Coins are not stocks, coins are currencies. So there are no penny stocks, no bankruptcy, no dividends. Things that matter: inflation (deflation), price fluctuations, liquidity, a number of users who use and trust this currency, name, security, usability and what you can buy or sell with it. But if somebody tells you: we have BTC, we have LTC, why do we need DOGE or other coins, that is not correct. There are many traditional currencies, not only dollar and euro. There are precious metals and stones, not only gold and silver. Diversity. Many nations. Many ideas. A lot of people. We all have pretty similar DNA and consciousness but it doesn't mean we all are simple clones of each other. Currencies (coins) are quite similar, too, the same technology often, but the spirit of their community, name, fortune and history make them all different.

I agree 100%, buying broad spectrum of cheapest coins on Cryptsy is the best way how to earn big profits on next uptrend. I already own 80-100 different coins. If cryptsy bancrupt, than it doesn't matter if you own ZET or shit coin, it will drop value heavily. Since Cryptsy does not delist coins, you can earn much more on cheapest coins. Investing $100/ per coin into 50 cheapest coins is much better for big gains than investing them into expensive Cryptsy only coins. For me, I divide Crypto in 4 categories. 1) BTC 2) LTC 3) PPC, NMC, NVC 4) Others traded on cryptsy. I hold 1,2, and the cheapest of 4. There is no reason to buy coins with big market cap traded only or mostly on Cryptsy. Such coins pump rarely, and if so, than the risk of dumping is pretty high. Cheapest coins don't lose value on dumps. And all of them have pretty similar risk of losing value by Cryptsy bankruptcy or hack. In fact, if there will be hack, hacker will steal expensive coins:)
