Yes it does put money in the pockets of consumers, but will also put a lot of people out of jobs once the fracking companies shut down. Less construction jobs, drilling, basically a whole fracking industry will be decimated if oil prices don't improve/stop dropping.
I'm not saying the world economy is peachy, but if one were to have those rose coloured glasses on, then the US is the place to shove your money.
In times of instability you'd think money would head to hard assets.. I'm not talking precious metals (also not saying they won't) but infrastructure like rail and anything that produces food/energy would also be a place to stick your money (well in my opinion - which isn't a lot).
