The US economy is not in a good shape. The December retail sales confirm that.

The gas price is riduculously low and still the retail sales dropped from the prior year.

Europe might be the place to invest in 2015 if France, Spain and Italy are supported with quantitative easing from the ECB. The German economy got better prospects than the US economy, as the low euro should support the export driven economy long term, the dropping oil price is perfect for a country that hasn't invested heavily into that. Also, the Germans got huge savings, no debt to talk of and some of the cheapest real estate prices relative to wages Worldwide.

low interest rates coupled with multiplicator effect from quantitative easing that releases liquidity in troubled euro zone countries should only spark the German economy.

I don't see the spark in America, the credit has been extended for too long making assets too expensive, the real economy is not improving.
