Fundamental or technical analysis? What will determine the value of a stock or its price, which one to buy over another? Will you use sales and revenue and eps to determine value fundamentally, or trends in price and support and resistance and charts technically? Or just go with the flow and a feeling and leave it to chance?
What is your time frame? Long term or short term or in between? How do you determine "when" to enter and exit a position?
What is your risk level? Use risk management and protection and stops or just let it ride and leave it to chance (Buy & Hold)? Limited risk or unlimited?
Learn about money management techniques, and you'll see that $500 really isn't enough to make a difference or overcome commissions, but maybe you'll be able to stick around awhile.
Watching the market is not the same thing as learning about the market. The best way to learn is from a good book or three, like Investing For Dummies, and the Millionaire Next Door, available at your local library for free.

Umm, nobody "sees" a broker anymore. Depends on why you want to "see" one. Maybe you mean a "financial planner" or adviser, but they would charge more than the $500 you have to invest. A broker is a secretary that executes trades, not someone to ask advice. Nobody can foretell the future. But a broker can tell you how their trading system works and which buttons to push to execute a trade, and the meaning of the Pattern Day Trader Rule.
Stock market movements are very volatile but good for longer term. If you have 100 rs then invest 33 in fixed deposits, 33 in gold and 34 in stock market.
You can make good money like me with this binary option signal software ( http://forexsignal.kyma.info ) Binary options trading has always been popular, however, this investment fad globally exploded around 2008. Originally known as digital options, binary or the name "two values" was added to give a simpler explanation for trading options. Binary is defined as two values or up and down movements. Binaries rely on underlying assets or derivatives. You can trade in commodities, the forex (foreign exchange market), commodities as well as stock indices.

$500 is more than enough considering how you're probably going to lose most of it at first due to inexperience, you could regard it as your training fee, you could also play the same game with less money.
Only once you've messed up badly and then learnt enough to trade better and consistently make a profit should you consider investing more.
Don't forget that not only are you trading against other people but you're also trading against computers.
Stable stocks are better for long term investments, unstable ones are better for making a quick profit (or loss)
You can also play the same game with just a few dollars with the cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc. That could be useful and inexpensive experience too.
