Quick DNA testing.... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/08/100804122715.htm

Interesting article: However, it doesn't appear that the 4 hour test capability is generally available. Not to say that the .gov doesn't have it but in my experience .gov is not known to adopt new technologies all that quickly.

Even if the .gov has the capability the test would take 4 hours plus the time necessary to get OBL's sample to the test site.

Timeline is still a bit shaky.

Equilibrium in the market is the price at which the supply and demand curves intersect.

A bubble is a speculative scheme that comes to nothing.

A bubble is a speculative scheme that comes to nothing.

Perhaps, but speculation simply shifts the demand curve and thus also the point of equilibrium; it's simply artificial and/or unfounded demand. It does not mean that, on the short term, the price is not reflecting the supply/demand relationship.

Speculation also generally follows a sudden change in either supply or demand, and therefore has less impact on the markets than people want to blame.

Demand curves are used to estimate behaviors in competitive markets, and are often combined with supply curves to estimate the equilibrium price (the price at which sellers together are willing to sell the same amount as buyers together are willing to buy, also known as market clearing price) and the equilibrium quantity (the amount of that good or service that will be produced and bought without surplus/excess supply or shortage/excess demand) of that market.

Sounds like the fast DNA tech could be mobile for field use. I have no idea if the military has such tech but its not out of the realm of possiblities.

Exactly - Wikipedia said it well so why would I argue that point?

A shift in the demand curve results in a change equilibrium price (as represented as the intersect of the curves when plotted). It's intro to macroeconomics day 1 stuff. Knowing that speculation is simply a variable in the demand equation (in the Economics sense, not necessarily the Finance sense), comes later.
