Hong Kong has done it and (afaik) it's worked alright. David McWilliams has advocated it, instead of the ECB's plan, and even derided Lagarde as a clueless economist (well, she's not even a trained economist so he has a point). It's definitely preferable to the stupid tactics of trickle down.

Any of the big well known companies such as Microsoft, Disney, netflix, Visa, Mastercard, Amazon are all safe buys in my opinion for long term holding. If you know about tech, AMD is a cool option i think. It would be worth scanning the last few pages for big name long established companies. Those that have a proven record of recovery and you intend to keep using yourself in the future. Im partially interested in Coco Cola. They've dropped 25%. I don't see that brand having recovery issues. They dominate their market, I dont see people cutting back on addictive sugar intake other than a short term decrease to avoid cost. They have a good dividend, and they bought Costa Coffee, which i see them as having a likely profitable future in. It's very fast growing in US, and in general is seen as a less 'Starbucksy' place (even though it entirely is!)

The expiration date for listed stock options in the United States is normally the third Friday of the contract month or the month that the contract expires. On months that the Friday falls on a holiday, the expiration date is on the Thursday immediately before the third Friday.
Index options also expire on the third Friday of the month, and this is also the last trading day for American style index options. For European style index options, the last trading is typically the day before expiration.
