5 coins you will ask your bestfriend to invest

[wasamata]

Only POS coins TEK, HBN, PHS, and MINT.
There is an exception: EMC2 and/or DARK for their innovation.
No use investing in anything else as they don't provide a return.

LOL. The goldcoin pumpers are on every thread. It's a total scam coin.

The game has changed. Bitcoin is the only coin worth holding.

Altcoins are for daytrading, I don't like to be in anything overnight anymore.

I agree. The problem with day trading is there isn't any way to tell which coin will go up soon, and if it's already up getting in has a huge risk of going right back down like execoin yesterday. Blackcoin currently seems to be an exception but that's due to this multipool experiment, if it fails the coin will probably flop right back to 500.
To sum things up I think if you play blackjack well your chances of making money are better at the casino than with alts. About all you can do with alts is pick a few coins and hope one or 2 move up, then gtfo when they do. Coins with a low market cap is the way to go, they ain't going down much more so your potential losses are minimized.

I would recomend:

1. BTC -- Most people know about it and it is being accepted as a mode of payment of some big online retailers.
2. LTC -- No doubt about this coin.
3. RDD -- Reddcoin is making a big noise right now but people wont hear it, their is still doubt on how this coin will be used as social media coin.
4. VTC -- You can never be wrong once you join the ride be prepare for a long journey.
5. DTC -- This coin have been silent its easy to mine and have a bright future ahead of it.

Stay away from this coin.
Nxt -- you have to buy it first before you can mine TX fee and the problem is, you got to have a million coins in your wallet to mine a descent amount of it.

Maxcoin -- Pretty shady lunch and people who bought it when it hits a exchange got burnt.

Follow this - a mining pool that targets profitable POW coins, then sells the alt coins to buy NXT, then distributes the NXT  to the miners.

Use your POW mining rig to generate NXT, the premier POS coin - cool idea!!

Long Term:

1. BTC
Reason: The King

2. LTC
Reason: The Queen - even though there is nothing special about it. Hopefully times will change and that money can go into better coins that have since come out.

3. Doge
Reason: No one truely knows why, but wow is all i can say

4. DRK
Reason: Truely annon and on another level of encryption.

5. Not sure. Long term its kind of hard to know atm.

Short Term:

1. EXE
Reason: similar to VERT though very low diff and cost atm.

2. INK
Reason: SHA-3 with very little attention on it atm. Good buy and good to mine.

3. HUC
Reason: You can actually play to get coins. Good concept that can later be evolved to a greater platform.

4. ANT
Reason: Its a weird coin. Try and mine for it and you will see what i mean. It almost forces you to stick around mining for days if you want a decent amount. If you put more hash power on it, you are almost cutting your own profits.

5. HVC
reason: SHA-512 and CPU only mineable coin. Has a great security structure.

Anyways, all of these can change tomorrow so you cant really just get it and hang out. You need to keep up. Its like a moving train 

Good luck, follow the rules and you will get far.
