Anyone else taking advantage of the down economy?

A lot of successful businesses of today were built during poor economic times...so that means while some are going broke, others are seizing opportunities.

Are you seizing opportunities and taking advantage of the downturn?

I finally opened my first account with ETrade and am playing the market a bit. Nothing too much right now, just getting my feet wet and endlessly reading about investing, the markets, etc. I figure with a lot of big companies down, it's a great opportunity to buy some bargains.

I also recently started a sideline business selling tshirts with my nephews. They're handling designs, orders, etc. and I'm financing it. It gives them some pocket cash and I get an extra income stream without devoting my office hours to any of it.
