I think this is the time to buy stock. Stocks are really cheaper these days. If you have money its time to make an investment. But you have to be careful. I think you can invest any  stock which you think is going to be stable in 5 yrs from now but its hard to predict. I think you can use www.zecco.com or tradeking.com since they are cheaper options.

I suggest you can invest on MT which owns 10% of the worlds steel market and I doubt that it will fail. Other option would be RIO, PCX, WFR, AA, AGT, DELL, CSCO, HPQ, X, QQQQ and much more.

Go to finance.yahoo.com or finance.google.com and read more about the stock, how to buy, what is P/E what are other stuffs you should be considering.

See, Billion dollor minds in Wall street and Main street failed this time. So, you have to be careful when you invest. These above sticks are my personal choice and does not mean that they will make money in one months. I believe they will make money in 5 yrs or 10 yrs from now if they survice. Do more research by yourself please.
