Stock market

If you have 50k or 500$ you still have to do the same research and it`s ALOT of research. So I don`t think that it would be worth your time for 500. jmo because it will waste alot of your time.

I`m not a sophisticated investor or anything but I`ve made and lost alot in days,weeks, HOURS. lol I really think Techinical analysis will help even if you don`t use it soley for trading.

In the late 90`s just buy anything going up and you double and triple your $$. but now you gotta work for it. I`m happy some days to make .10 on a trade if I could make a few hundred bucks. While I`m posting on EF, why not.

Scottrade is a good brokerage acount. 7 dollar trades. small minimums. no inactivity fees. I have Etrade now.

good luck
 
Being an Aussie, Commsec (www.commsec.com.au) is probably the way to go (what I use). Reasonable rates and I haven't had any problems with them. They provide good information too. All the research tools you need.

With $500 (is that US or AUD?) I'd probably suggest getting some more together first. With that little, you can't really diversify your portfolio, which is very important (spread your risk). For the time being, open up an ING Direct (www.ingdirect.com.au) account and save enough to make the stock market worthwhile.

Remember, without research and a bit of background knowledge, you're effectively gambling. With research and some knowledge, you're still gambling, but the odds are shifted a bit more :)
