Receiving profits is all dependent on the type of investment that you are making. If you are investing in a fixed deposit then you should be getting profits every day, however if you are investing with a trading scheme then it could take a few weeks. It all depends on the type of investment in my opinion.I know several people who have been encouraged to make large investments in various businesses, but after a few weeks they become discouraged since they did not recover their investment and did not perceive any profit ... But, could it be that they did not wait long enough? What would be the period of time to wait to receive profits?
