Oh, What an Untangled Web We Weave

My wife and I were enjoying an outdoor summer supper over the weekend when I noticed a spider weaving a web. It was an orb spider and it was weaving a web similar to the one in this photo.

 Oh, What an Untangled Web We Weave

As I watched, it occurred to me that the spider was in fact an investor and the web was his investment. His capital was the protein from his body that is used to make the web. Another thing that I noted is that the spider is a systematic investor. His web is always woven in the same pattern. In this case, the web was constructed near a light which would attract insects. There was no guarantee that this web would result in a return to the spider; however, his prospects of success seemed good. Why? Well, he was investing using a proven, systematic method that had stood the test of time and he would not abandon it if it did not produce immediate results. Perhaps we can all learn something from the spider.
