I think there are several factors here.
1. Are you young and just starting out in life - in which case keep it, save it and learn about investments until you know what to do with it.
2. Was it quick and easy for you to make that 500 - in which case, you could use to help you learn quicker and practically about investments if you are OK about losing it in the process. There's nothing like the real thing when it comes to learning.
3. What are your expectations of that 500 - if you want to 'play safe and slow' you can use one of these ING things or something else like it that's a bit like watching paint dry, or you can be more adventurous and go for much higher returns in Forex or something like that.
4. You could invest this 500 in a course that will help you decide how to invest the next 500 profitably.
