I think i'm ready to invest

So the market is bad, real bad. People are losing jobs, our country has a long line of companies that want to be bailed out and probably shouldn't. ...and I think i'm ready to invest.

I know i'm not going to get any wins in the short term, but in 3 years everyone's value is going to seriously change. Warren Buffet, super stock investor extrodinare, claims that he made his billions by investing in good companies when they were going thru hard times.

Well i've been doing my research with websites like fool.com and finance.google.com. It doesn't take much and I think i'll only throw $50 a month at it. $600 a year sounds good. Play around with it and then see what I can do with that money. I know how I learn, it's not by reading or listening. It's by doing, so I just need to jump in and give it a try.

If anyone has any helpful advice on sites to go to for first time investors, or perhaps which online discount broker I should go with let me know.
