I read some interesting advice in this Globe and Mail article recently – what to buy if you only have $1,000 to invest.
Some experts said investing in global equities will offer the most diversification. I would agree investing abroad is a wise thing to do since Canada’s market only equates to about 4% of the global market. Here is Jason Heath’s advice:
“You really only have money for a single investment with a thousand dollars, so go for something global where you’re just buying the market and keeping costs low. You definitely don’t want management costs to eat into an already small amount”.
That said, I’d be tempted to buy a U.S. dividend paying stock, a Canadian “international” company like Brookfield or a U.S. listed ETF like Vanguard’s VTI or VXUS for true low-cost diversification. Actually, this is what I’m investing in now – combinations of these assets this year.

TORONTO – Five things to watch for in Canadian business this week:
Alberta royalties and climate change: The Alberta government is expected to provide an update this week on its expert panels that will review policies on climate change and oil and gas royalty rates. The province’s oilpatch will be watching closely.
Housing: Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. releases its July housing starts on Tuesday. The figures come weeks after the Bank of Canada cut its key interest rate to 0.5 per cent and amid concerns that the real estate market may be due for a correction in Vancouver and Toronto.
Rona: Home renovation company Rona reports its second-quarter results on Tuesday. The Quebec-based retailer said last month it was eliminating its franchise structure by purchasing 20 stores in an effort to more effectively compete with its rivals in the U.S.
Air Canada: Canada’s largest airline will release its second-quarter results on Wednesday. Air Canada has recently reported record traffic and profits, and while higher baggage fees have drawn the ire of some passengers, it says they’re here to stay…
