If you guys had 1000 to invest...what stocks/MF/ETFs would you invest in?
Forget all stock and ETFs - you wouldn't be able to justify the brokerage fee for just making a trade with only 1000 bucks.
If you're buying multiple stocks yes, but if you buy 1 stock it's not long to make up $7. With only $1000 I'd probably buy 1 stock and just add another stock to the portoflio when you have another $1000. I know it's all eggs in one basket, but as you keep investing you'll build a larger portflio.

I stick to large cap dividend stocks and try and buy them at a discount to the market and when they're out of favor and just hold them for a long long time. 50B plus, I like buying stocks that are big enough that alot of people would step in had they started to go downhill dramatically.
Not to be a d*ck but you sound like you know nothing about creating a portfolio, let alone investing.
Nevertheless owning a one stock portfolio doesn't let you diversify away any non-systematic risk and would be the exact same thing as going to the casino with the money.

the beauty of large dividend yielding stocks is that they don't fluctuate as much as mid-cap or small-cap, and they pay a certain albeit small yield every quarter. if you're investing anything less than $500 a month, i think it's more prudent to try to focus on 1 or 2 large cap dividend stocks simply because the brokerage fees alone can eat you alive.
your casino analogy is weak and incorrect. Having a concentrated portfolio is not necessarily a bad thing.
Large dividend stocks generally means they have less growth opportunities (by sustainable growth rate formula)
