How can I go about investing small amounts of $?

I am a stay at home mom, and I have an extra $75 a month I'd like to invest/ Actually, as long as the money is working and making money, I don't care if it's invested or where it is- as long as I get a return on it.
I live in Ontario, Canada.


If this is for long term (10+ years) investing, and since you don't know much about the subject, then stock mutual funds may be your best bet. Most mutual fund companies require an initial investment of at least $500 (many $2500). But if you can afford

10 things the jewellery industry learned from 2011

If this year has taught us anything it is don’t put all your eggs in one basket. It can be tempting when a booming product sector or a strong brand starts to generate sales over and above initial forecasts to put everything else on the back burner and pour all your attentions and funds into this shiny new revenue stream, but trends and brands tend to enjoy highs and suffer lows in rolling succession. Focusing your entire business plan on just one brand or product will leave you exposed when the fad starts to fade. Even if it is not a fad but a successful brand with a long lifespan, focusing too much on it is dangerous. When business is booming for a brand, it is unlikely to be satisfied with its lot, instead brands tend to look at how to push forward further. This often involves bringing distribution back in house and cutting back on independent stockists to favour the opening of brand boutiques in successful areas. We have seen this happen numerous times in 2011 with major leading brands in the jewellery and watch sector, such as Pandora and Omega. However, there can be ways to cash in on a single brand safely through franchising, if this is an option your desired brand offers. Southeast of England retailer Emson Haig has successfully opened a number of franchised stores including Links of London, Pandora and Swarovski right next to its main Emson Haig shop. This strategy has helped it successfully capitalise on strong individual brands without allowing them to cannibalise the the core business. Another example of how to handle this issue can be found at Pressleys in Sussex. The jeweller recognised the vogue for fashion-led silver jewellery, but rather than mixing it in with its main Pressleys store it opened up a shop next door called Pressleys Etcetera with a glass wall between the two, keeping fine jewellery on the Pressleys side and fashion-led silver jewellery on the Etcetera side.

Retail investors embrace 'ethical funds' | Creation Investments

CALGARY – When Torontonian Gray Taylor decided to invest in a “ microfinance bond” several years ago, it was a move that satisfied both his need to do good in the world and to make money in the process. Taylor doesn’t consider himself an “ethical investor,” per se, because to him the concept is all about sustainable investing – looking for companies that evaluate all of their risks, including from an environmental, social and governance (ESG)......
