The relationship between interest as a profit and deposit as an investment. The interest is generally very low, even when a large amount of money is deposited (solid line). If there are two or three points (open circles), including an origin, a straight line can be drawn. If an investor makes a large profit through high interest on at least two occasions, they may trust in the linear relationship and estimate that continued investment will produce more profits (broken line). However, the investor may be deceived.
