I am aiming for an average return of 8 percent (double that I am currently getting in my savings account) but could settle for 6 percent. Am hoping to buy a range of shares to disperse risk. Although I'm a newbie I have a competent understanding of business / finance analysis.
personally i think anyone who expects 13% as an average return going forward even with a diversified mix will find themselves way way off what they expect.
my own ball park is about 6-8% long term average. some years will be higher and some years losses.

Investors who invest direct in companies (not common stock) expect a return of 10x to 100x their investment within 3 to 5 years. So you should at least double your money every year.
