<<We haven't had 10% per year in this entire decade.>>

2003 47.3%
2004 18.3%
2005 4.6%
2006 18.4%

S&P 500 total returns:

2003 28.7%
2004 10.9%
2005 4.9%
2006 15.8%

The DOW averages mean little. They only give a sense of what direction the market is going. What matters is your portfolio as we all know, and if one is only averaging 3.7% over recent years, they should let someone else handle their investments.
