Assuming I'm understanding your question correctly, it's just going to depend on how much you have to put in and how much the price moves before you clear a $500 gain.
Example based on current price of 40 cents:
Invest $2000, price will need to increase to 50 cents to clear $500
Or
Invest $10,000, price will need to increase to 42 cents to clear $500
The math is why a lot of folks who got in early are eating right now. Putting in $100 a couple of weeks ago when this thing was sitting at 5 cents would have cleared you a little over a $700 gain today.
