There is a high risk/reward trade-off right now with European stocks

The reason valuations are depressed in Europe is because the continent has suffered three recessions in a six year period. And yet, what has been actually solved?

Draghi hinted that progress was being made to weaken the Euro, but still has yet to cut the benchmark rate to match the U.S. and Japan. Greece is still unable to pay its debts. The rest of the periphery may be unable to pay its debts. There are some serious social problems in France.

I could go on, but you get the point. That being said, if you want to buy, you want to buy low.

If anything, I would short the Euro right now, but that is riskier game. The Euro really needs to head towards parity if Europe wants some inflation and growth.
