What is a realistic return on value investing?

"If it were 2007 now and we were having the same conversation, anyone doing CAGR of 30%-40% for the past 5 years ie. from 2003-2007 would be considered mediocre! "
I like this!
Here we go!
Now we are into to different definitions of returns.
Some want inflation adjusted.
Some say 5 years too short.
Some use simple interest.
Some use compound interest.
Some use Total Cash available to invest
Some include salary
After all the sound and fury, 30-40% is still mediocre... LOL!
Nice to know I am a laggard

Basically, we account to no one here ... haha. And no one is going to be interested to pay me to monitor my portfolio.
So, I just offered my kind of information and up to you to believe and interpret

There are much more interesting activities than monitoring the returns of the portfolio. If you do it right, it will just grow by itself.
