I think Neos may be a decent call. key is an easy double, can probably get in cheaper though

[daxiake]

NUD.

[ProGamer]

Britcoin.

Short term look for coins that are rising in volume that make it to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th page of Bittrex. Then check their ANN thread to make sure nothing is fishy.

iXcoin will take off before the end of the year comes.

Ethereum has everything to grow big, great concept, great devs, a lot of attention, and shitload of money for promotion/development. But by its design (inflation model), it may be very hard to get the ROI.

Why do you think LTC is a good investment? It will be in decline imho. It doesn't fit it's purpose after scrypt ASIC miners. It's cheaper to transfer (tx fees lower than BTC) but DOGE is even cheaper. It also doesn't seem to be actively promoted by devs/community (I can be wrong on this one).

whatever the whales tell me to invest in.

LTC is dying a slow death.

Coins with unique features and great dev teams such as XC and CLOAK would be my top choices. Not a speculation but a real deal.
BTCD and Black Coin are solid as well.

Slow death yet the volume is still higher than any other Altcoins.

It's probably not a safe option to list individual coins, because it's almost impossible to predict what the future holds.  Coins mostly rise and fall based on the whims of whales and pump'n'dumpers, but sometimes also because of their features and general usefulness.  It's difficult to predict the former, but you can make sound judgements on the latter.  Most people are only going to recommend the coins they hold themselves, so bias can't really be avoided.  Just research the coins that seem to be getting a lot of attention and make sure they're getting attention for the right reasons.  Those are probably/maybe/potentially your safest bets.

If, on the other hand, you did just want people to list the coins they hold and haven't been made bagholder of yet, then BTSX, Monero, NXT and Qora.

Volume doesn't necessarily imply profit, though.  It can trade in huge quantities and still sink like a stone.

Volume has been huge daily for months if not years litecoin is on every major exchange in China.No other coin comes close.

Yes, I get that part.  But the OP said he wanted to invest in something to make money.  What I'm saying is that high volume won't necessarily make him a profit.  The price has been dropping steadily for a while now and there's little evidence to suggest that's likely to change in the near future.  Repeating the statement that it has high volume doesn't change that.

BTC / DOGECOINS

[bigbigdog]

if you want stable investment go with BTC

[EvilDave]

if you want stable investment go with BTC

Yup...and with the Winkelvoss ETF comng up soon (ish) BTC could rise like crazy. Maybe.

NXT is always a good bet ( ), and I'm pretty certain that SuperNET and its associated coins (BTCD/BBR + others...) will do very well.

I also have a vague gut feeling that NxTHorizon is about to go to the moon......and CMC agrees with me so far this week.

[johnnyrocket]

NEOS is a viable option, with a dedicated/talented developer. I hold a bit of it myself, as well as IOC and HAL currently. I think HAL has some room to run, but will probably be a shorter term play compared to NEOS and IOC.

So u buy high and sell low ? Litecoin is low right now great time to buy.Besides btc what coin do you think the Chinese will buy during the next rally.

NEOS and HAL are just fads.  In 6 weeks one of them will be forgotten and the other dying a slow death.

I second that. Both are coins with a lifespan of a single pump and dump - 4-8 weeks max.
