OK, I just did it and I'm thinking it was the right decision!!

I have been wanting to open an on-line trading account for a while now and with the market the way it is, I think now is the time. Stocks are very low, so it's a great time to buy. I'm somewhat optomistic and think things are going to get better. I got an offer from ShareBuilder to open an account, and once I make a trade they will give me $50. I know they will because they are part of Ing and I've gotten my bonus from them when I opened an account there. So, today I opened my ShareBuilder account and scheduled a $100 transfer for Tuesday. I'll be buying stock in 6 different companies that have done well in the past and look to do well again once the economy gets back on track. I think the most I spent on a share was a little over $9 and the least I spent on a share was $0.26. I can afford to lose $100 right now, so I'm not too awfully worried about it, but on the upside, I stand to gain a couple/few thousand. Are any of you taking advantage of the low stock prices and buying now while you can?
