Thanks!
The long-term return for investing is equities is between 7% to 9%, of which 2% to 3% is from capital gains and 5% to 6% is from dividends. So if you factor this into account, 10% seems fair; but you have to weigh the risk and return. Also, do you understand the business and its drivers? Is the time spent worth the effort compared to your expected return?
