I would like to add some smaller coins to my portfolio and would be
very helpful to hear some opinions.
Here  they are:

Kyber
Substratum
TenX
PIVX
Chainlink
Komodo
Maidsafe
Siacoin
Golem
Viacoin

I think that if you choose from this list it is worth paying attention to Kyber, TenX and Siacoin

What sort of daily volume exists for these coins? No volume means you may not be able to sell in future. What is difference between buying and selling price? Sometimes less well-known or traded coins have quite a difference so a large increase in price could be required just to break even.

Why not? There might be one, two or three coins there that will make you fortunate in a snap.

I have some money invested in following coins from your list: Siacoin, Golem, Viacoin. I am not sure that they will make me much profit but I believe they should at least not go down.

It seems like you have done your research. Most of the coins which you have chosen look like great investments for profits in the long run. My advice is to not engage in short term trades and focus on long term trades for substantial profits. Out of your investments, I feel that Komodo and Golem are the best investments since I feel they are undervalued at the moment and will skyrocket in the future.

Yes, I am looking to hold long term.

I would take a extra look at komodo and pivx , they have good devs and a nice product.

Depends on your level of risk vs reward. A project like Substratum has a very ambitious roadmap but if it pays off the returns will be huge. But obviously that carries more risk of failure due to the sheer amount of work and technology that needs completing.

Stuff like Tenx is taking a traditional business model and just applying it to a different currency, not simple by any means but it's not blue sky development so less risk but probably less returns.

As a smaller coin I prefer DOGE.
I think it is a very stable cryptocurrency. Why do you forget about him? ;)

You can try to add some just like Kyber, Chainlink, but why you don't put the eidoo in your list. it seems like a best time to buy because eidoo will be listed on the hitbtc as the number 4 of major crypto currency exchange site in this time. Because that already listed on the bitfinex trade and margin trading. Don't miss it. But about the kyber officially supported by vitalik butterin and it seems to be a very good thing imo.

Dont buy siacoin because it is pretty dead, it could never recover from it's last dump and they are only going down day by day, so better to invest in golem or in zrx, and you will make a nice profit during the next months.
They are one of the most promising altcoins that i have ever seen on the market, and they are very, very cheap right now. Take a look at their devs, check the project and i am sure that you will like it, because it is a profitable one.

I agree. Siacoin is dead. One that you should add is cybermiles.

dont be underestimate that coins
sometime that coin can give profit huge
so still analyze I has SIAcoin that good

One good choice on your list is Golem. Investing in Golem is sort of like investing in AI.Golem is a global, open sourced decentralized supercomputer that is made up from the combined power of user's machines. It is a supercomputer which can have a lot of functions and impact in a global market. Some of these potentials may include, rendering CGI, cryptography, microservices, and  golem may compute power to make stock market predictions. The reason why it is not on number 1 list is because of tight competition with AMS Amazon Cloud Services. But is projected to surge for 8 years.

a lot of the coins you listed are actually of good potentials, in particular kyber network and chainlink, tenx is good too but I think it's facing more and more competitions, while kyber and chainlink are infrastructure coins.

For me the two I like from your list is Chainlink and Kyber, both have not release their full potential and they are both going to be a big hit in future

For me, 50% of my coins are for long term namely BTC, ETH and XMR.
Rest 50% are selected coins and tokens which I've set to sell on a fixed ratio of profit.
I've set 50% of individual tokens/coins at 2.5x, and rest on 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x and 100x of my initial buy price.

That’s a 60:40 bad good ratio of portfolio. I understand that they are very cheap at this stage and you want to get them at this stage to hope 100x or something like that profits. But I see only TenX, siacoin, viacoin as potential coins here. There projects are being developed at good rates and they still sustain good market capitalism which means good prices coming in the future for these two three coins. Siacoin once pumped a lot during its progress on exchanger and it will do it again in next quarter. So yeah some good coins are there which can give you decent fortune in the long term holdings. So that’s one more added vote from my side. ;-

I think must pay attention at least on three coins: Kyber, Link and TenX. Good choice for long term.

I will go with
Substratum (SUB) is new on market and have a lot of potential for growing also great team
TenX (PAY) is very cheap now, they have product which is already in use
Pivx (PIV) is one of my best coin, very good community now they implement zPiv coin which is most anonymous staking coin

like option 4 could be Golem or Chainlink

Why do you forget about monero?

I think it has a promise future as a smaller coin.

By the way it is my favorite one.

add lomocoin, ios app will be released very soon.
Also Req and Social will be given good returns this weeks.

I wouldnt touch most of those. Try to buy into coins with more liquidity (trading pairs in more exchanges) so that you're less vulnerable to pump and dump or other price manipulation schemes. And i would wait a little bit closer to the fork to buy into any alt coin, in case they drop a bit further.

Absolutely no reason why you shouldn't look into them just because their market capitalization is small right now. In fact these are the coins that have the most potential to grow in the future because it is harder for big caps to grow.

I would avoid MAID since it's unlikely that it's going to get pumped anytime soon. Project has been around for years with little progress.

But others, like Tenx, Substratum, are interesting projects.

Great choice of altcoins op. I suggest you continue your plan to invest into these coins in your list because these coins have decent developing teams. These clins in my opinion,  really have great potential to succeed anywhere next year. So i suggest you put invesemts on all of them.
Goodluck.

Well i'm not buy those coin, but i have some small coin also. yes maybe small coin are easy to become PnD coin but as long as it's good project i wouldn't mind to buy it for long term

Thanks everyone for your comments and opinions, although some
of them are quite opposite ( Siacoin). Will keep researching.

I only buy TENX from the list, the rest is not promising in my perspective. TenX can dominate debit cards on its sector after getting more users into their system.

How about Enigma ENG ?

Enigma ENG is strong coin but it's in a lot of ICO's end up being cheaper after trade on the exchanges. It has full of potential, wait some news and price will go up.

Interesting approach

Most people will leave ( personal opinion ) smaller coins because there's no proof they will survive on the real market & mostly has low volume. But some people will take it with a good analyze and faith about smaller coins ( gambling with knowledge ). If you have analyze and faith, just buy it but not me. I still need time to decides because my knowledge / experience about small coins is zero. I hope you'll find the best smaller coins for your portfolio and good luck.

Honestly, I am not familiar with any of the coins you've listed. But as I've checked it in coinmarketcap.com, I saw that some of these coins have the potentials. Here are the data I've recorded about these coins. (Data based on coinmarketcap.com, November 2, 2017)

RANKING BASED ON PRICE (the lower the price, the better):
1. Siacoin - $0.0036
2. Substratum - $0.104
3. Golem - $0.186
4. Chainlink - $0.165
5. Maidsafe - $0.32
6. Kyber - $1.00
7. Viacoin - $1.58
8. TenX - $1.58
9. Komodo - $2.54
10. PIVX - $3.16

RANKING BASED ON MARKET CAP (the higher the rank, the better):
1. Komodo - 24th
2. PIVX - 31th
3. TenX - 32th
4. Golem - 33th
5. Maidsafe - 38th
6. Kyber - 44th
7. Siacoin - 52th
8. Chainlink - 79th
9. Viacoin - 101th
10. Substratum - 136th

RANKING BASED ON CIRCULATING SUPPLY (the lower the circulating supply, the better):
1. Viacoin - 22,881,636 
2. PIVX - 54,643,637 
3. Komodo - 100,945,510 
4. TenX - 104,661,310 
5. Kyber - 134,132,697 
6. Substratum - 226,091,449 
7. Chainlink - 350,000,000
8. Maidsafe - 452,552,412 
9. Golem - 833,032,000 
10. Siacoin - 30,643,752,924

Getting the overall ranking based on their ranking in each category, we will have:
1. Komodo (4.33)
2. PIVX (4.67)
3. TenX (5)
4. Golem (5.33)
5-6. Viacoin (5.67)
       Kyber (5.67)
7-9. Maidsafe (6)
       Substratum (6)
       Siacoin (6)
10. Chainlink (6.33)

I conclude that, based on your list, Komodo, PIVX, and TenX are the best altcoins to invest in or at least you should prioritize to invest in. You can also see that it's not the price that greatly affected the final ranking, but it is the market cap. That's why most traders and investors keep on saying that the market cap of an altcoin has something to do with its success in the future.

i'm not too familiar with those coins except komodo and if i'm not mistaken Komodo had succesfully ICO last year and if this coin still exist until today with pretty high volume support i think this is good to be considering as your portfolio and you have to realize that stick to the coin with have position on the top 100 on coinmarketcap will decrease your risk to loss
