The show was discussing the fuel prices. The prices are cheaper now than they were before the storm. The bottom line about the show appeared to be someone is manipulating the fuel prices and it's not the stock market.
No one could seem to determine who sets the gasoline prices. :?
Competitive Positioning: Unlike many other investment managers, Astor’s management style focuses on the overall markets and the economy rather than individual stocks and bonds. It is Astor’s belief that buy-and-hold managers are always in the market buying their asset class, regardless of economic fundamentals or conditions. Furthermore, these managers compare their results in down markets to benchmarks that are negative, while we believe that through active management, positive returns can be realized in any market, regardless of its direction. For these reasons, Astor believes that by investing in the market through the broader averages (such as mutual funds that replicate a long or short position in the S&P 500, the Nasdaq 100, or the bond market), we can more efficiently take advantage of economic conditions and flows of capital. In addition, this investment style allows us to establish, add to, or exit a market position in a single trade. This has the added benefits of reducing execution costs, while allowing portfolios to be held at any brokerage firm.

The civil action makes New Jersey the first state to take legal action in response to the growing anxiety over suddenly and steeply rising gasoline prices. According to oil industry and public policy analysts, New Jersey is the only state to have a law barring multiple price increases on gasoline in a 24-hour period.
