      Being in a cretinous mood today (or is that every day), you've left out the real, simple answer.
      The economic stimuli around the world have led to a rise in demand.

          Maybe Gordo's cracked it. If all countries used QE to say pay millions of workers to stay in work producing widgets or NHS database implementations, then all economies would recover. Prices would go up as well, but currencies would stay fairly stable as everyone's doing it. Boomed!

              Then invest in Oil companies and Oil ETC's.

              They go up you can afford to run your monster truck. They go down and filling up doesn't hurt so much.

                The oil barons know their time is up, so they are raking in as much as the can and buying up renwable energy companies.
