I think that if you want to get into stocks then now is a great time to buy. The ASX is only 53% of what it was 1 year ago to date, and it won't be a bear market forever. Bear markets last alot less than bull markets, so if you take a view of buying stocks with intent to sell in the timeframe of years (not days) then it is difficult to see a losing situation unless the shares that you buy are in a company that will go bankrupt in the the current financial crisis.
