If you find yourself with $1,000 all of a sudden — or perhaps through slow consistent saving — you might be wondering: What’s next? Maybe ideas of a beach vacation are floating through your head, or maybe you’re thinking about buying yourself a big-ticket gadget like a new computer or TV.

You can certainly spend your money on those things if you want, but here are 10 smart things you could do with that $1,000 right now to improve your financial well-being.

1. Pay off your debts

If you’re carrying any high-interest debt like a balance on your credit card, medical bills, or a personal line of credit, you should absolutely be paying it off as quickly as possible. $1,000 can go a long way toward clearing your debt, especially if you’re only making minimum monthly payments.

When you pay off high-interest debt, you’re effectively getting a guaranteed return on investment for your $1,000. So, if you have $1,000 in credit card debt accruing interest at a 20% annual rate, you’ll save $200 per year in interest expenses you would have paid if you didn’t pay down that debt.

Wells Fargo’s David Maris and team call Valeant Pharmaceutical International’s (VRX) earnings and guidance “worse than feared” and contend that the struggling specialty pharmaceutical company’s “debt problem [is] coming into focus.” They explain:

Reuters

Our preliminary look at 1Q results leads us to believe that Valeant is performing significantly worse than expected. New full-year 2016 adjusted EPS guidance of $6.60-$7.00 falls well below our full-year estimate of $8.81. In many key business areas, Valeant is underperforming consensus…

To give investors a sense of why this quarter was particularly challenging, $558 million in cash from operations annualizes to approximately $2.2 billion. Between now and 2020, Valeant has approximately $15 billion of debt due, as well as other obligations of approximately $480 million. If the business stays the way it is, or continues to deteriorate, we believe Valeant will be challenged in making those debt payments. Based on this quarter’s cash from operations, we do not see debt holders being enthusiastic about restructuring Valeant debt…

Best Performing Stocks To Own Right Now: Liquor Stores N.A. Ltd. (LQSIF)

Advisors’ Opinion:

[By ]
British Columbia and Alberta have chosen a different strategy where retail sales will be allowed through both public and private stores, similar to its current setup for liquor retail in the provinces. Retailers will have to get their supply of cannabis from the government’s wholesale distribution system, similar to how it works for alcohol now. The government will control online cannabis sales exclusively Our take: British Columbia also announced that physical retailing of cannabis and liquor will have to be separate, meaning stores cannot sell both products. This rule has an impact on existing liquor retailers aiming to convert some of their stores to sell cannabis. Aurora invested in Liquor Stores (renamed to Alcanna (OTCPK:LQSIF)) which has been struggling for years in the liquor business. Other pharmacy chains will also participate in the RFP as we have seen in Loblaw’s recent win in Newfoundland and Labrador. We think for many cannabis companies the path to winning those retail licenses will be a challenging one with the competition from multiple sources. The licenses will be hotly contested given that B.C. is the largest market to allow private retailing, leaving us cautious on those companies betting big on winning those contracts. The likely outcome is that a large number of companies will each win fewer contracts.

Top Heal Care Stocks To Watch For 2019

Last year was a true coming-out party for the cryptocurrency craze. In a 12-month span, we witnessed the combined market cap of all virtual currencies soar from $17.7 billion to $613 billion, which represents an increase in value of more than 3,300%. For those of you keeping score at home, it was very likely the single greatest year we’ve ever witnessed for any asset class, and chances are, we may never see anything like it again — at least during our lifetime.

However, this year has been markedly different for digital currencies. After making a brief run to an all-time high of $835 billion in market cap on Jan. 7, 2018, the wheels fell off the wagon, so to speak. Over the course of the next three months, the aggregate cryptocurrency market cap would plunge 70%, dropping briefly below $250 billion. Virtually no digital tokens were spared, with some of the largest cryptocurrencies — those with market caps exceeding $1 billion — being hit with losses of nearly 90%.

The best-performing energy commodity over the past year is not oil or gas &a;ndash; it is carbon allowances from the European Union&a;rsquo;s carbon market, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS).

The price of a tonne of carbon emitted under the ETS is now nudging &a;euro;15 (it was &a;euro;14.35 at the time of writing) a level it has not seen for seven years &a;ndash; and it is predicted to rise even higher in years to come.

Financial think tank Carbon Tracker says that the allowances will double in price by 2021 and could reach &a;euro;55 a tonne by 2030 if the European Commission introduces rules that align EU emissions targets with the requirements of the Paris climate agreement. This would have a radical effect on Europe&a;rsquo;s energy markets, spelling the end for coal-fired power and leading to a surge in renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy storage, smart grids and demand-side response. It also highlights how other economies around the world could be affected by their own carbon markets.

The stock market had a generally solid performance on Monday, with large-cap indexes posting modest gains even as benchmarks that track the changes of smaller stocks underperformed. The big news of the day came on the trade front, where the White House intervened to reverse previous policy with respect to Chinese smartphone giant ZTE in an apparent effort to gain favor with the world’s most populous nation and second-largest economic power. Investors looked for potential winners from the thawing of relations with China, but not all stocks were able to avoid significant losses. Viacom (NASDAQ:VIAB), Synchronoss Technologies (NASDAQ:SNCR), and DHX Media (NASDAQ:DHXM) were among the worst performers on the day. Here’s why they did so poorly.
