Should I take this internship? - Junior with very little internship experience

I'm a junior with very little internship experience (3 months in business development). I went to a career fair at my school last week and dropped off my resume with a bunch of people. Most were looking for spring or summer interns but one called me back for an interview, which I had yesterday. I haven't gotten the offer yet but they called me back today and it looks like I probably will. I also just started applying for internships this weekend but haven't heard back from anyone.

They explained that I'll be working for a team of five people who work for an old guy who trades for himself. I'll have to summarize news articles, call/write letters to brokers for quotes and indications, run a P/L program and Quicken, create spreadsheets, and do other trivial things. The "company" looks like a very small business and doesn't come up on Google. This is a paid internship. As I'm a junior now, I'd like to get an internship that will actually teach me things and hopefully make me look good for SA recruiting.

So do you think I should take this internship or wait to see if I can get other offers?
