To get an understanding of the issue we need to go back in time, to the Bronze age. The Bronze age came about because of the discovery, mining, and refining of tin. Bronze is a mixture of copper and tin. Copper was mined in the ancient world in the island of Cyprus while the tin mines were in Afghanistan, tin was so important-it was the oil of it time-that however control it's trade had all the power and tech advantage. Today tin is not much though of but a world without it could bring about a collapse in economic activity akin to the collapse of the Bronze Age. The destruction of the tin trade was the contributing factor-along with climate-change, in fact the collapse of the Bronze Age is a detail record of climate change, the Seas People, and political mismanagement, the caused collapse of the Bronze Age. Using history as a guide I wanted to position myself to benefit from this structure deficit. Given that the market is small-uranium should service as an example-we should expect huge price swings. The WisdomTree Tin ETF-traded on the LSE-it is one of the few options available to profit.
