What is a realistic return on value investing?

[Jacmar]

A realistic long-term return to gun for would be 8-9% per annum; consisting of about 5-6% dividend yield and about 3-4% capital gain per annum. And that's for an average value investor who purchases with his required margin of safety and assesses intrinsic value fairly accurately. For more enterprising investors, a long-term return of 10% to 12% is not unusual over say 5-10 years; but I would probably think 15% is a little too ambitious.

i sure would like to know who in this forum(suppose to be 1 of the most informed and savviest) has achieved 8-9% over a 10 ten period. i for one am not and whoever it is pls accept me as a disciple as i want to learn from you.
