Get Real! Expected returns from the stocks?

"In business, words are words; explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality." - Harold S. Geneen


Here are some the world's top investment guru's annualized returns:

Peter Lynch, he posted a 29.2% average annual return over 13 years

Warren Buffett, from 1965-2005,over 40 years has produced an annual average return of 21.5%

Anthony Bolton, his Special Situations the fund achieved an average annual return of 19.5% over 28 years

Bill Miller, Portfolio Manager of Legg Mason Value Trust (LMVTX). Since inception, his fund has earned 15.25% average annual total returns over 15 years

Considering time and returns, I would rank in this order

Warren Buffet - 21.5%

Anthony Bolton - 19.5%

Peter Lych - 29.2%

Bill Miller - 15.25%

I think if we can achieve annualized returns over 10-12%, we can congratulate ourselves to be successful in managing our returns on investment.
