I've heard property is one of the best investments, but im Not sure you can quite do that with only 500

I would start with a Roth Ira and put money into retirement, then I would try to gather some more income before I punt a lot of money into investments. Remember, never invest the money you need.

Decide first whether you want to take more risks for potentially higher rewards or less risks but also less rewards. Then, look at graphs, do research into the past and current operations of the company you are considering to make an informed decision.

Remember, investment is essentially educated gambling. You can do tons of math and make all the right decisions and still lose money if you are unlucky enough. Be careful.

One simple safe investment is in the overall stock market as a whole (basically a tiny share in every company). The yields aren’t high (10 percent a year on average) but over history, it is fairly consistent in its increase over time, making it a fairly safe long term investment

You could try buying equity shares with the 300 dollars and then try crypto trading with the remaining ( if you don't mind losing some money)

And I think I might do 100 in crypto and 400 in stocks but what stocks should I use? Any specific stocks?

Invest in stocks. Do some research on which stocks are rising and which ones are falling.
