Nice list . Here is my list for 2018 Growth budget, 75% of overall portfolio based on currently available Altcoins would be;
1 Bread - 20% - mobile multicoin wallet/payments etc
2 Ethereum - 20% - stable utility
3 Cardano - 10% - team
4 Neo - 10% - the China bitcoin
5 Bitcoin - 10% - the original
6 ETHLend - 10% - Lending will be big Market especially in Asia/ India and emerging markets with Audience of Billions - SALT is great as you suggest but is at risk a bit from USA regulators if not played properly
7 - Verge - 10% Privacy coin with value growth potential
8 - Omisego - 10% - Altcoins payment solutions - Great Choice!
The mix is for HODL, growth, no pump and dumps not for day trading / Utility (solving a real problem with hard to copy tech)/ team (passion / track records/ backing/ advisory) / a working (or almost working ) product (cardano exception) with mass adoption - road to market ease, partnerships with Large existing corporations and potential for value growth.
Other 25% of portfolio open for day trading, variations based on Market news and new entries/ rising start into altcoin markets and ICO investing
