         Sure 6% dosent sound too marvelous, when compared
with some markets, there are several points you should consider.
     1. Dividends here tend to be higher here than most markets and
should be taken into account when working out your gains.
     2.  Interest rates have been low so you have been outperforming
          money kept in the bank
     3.  Last two years not been the best for stocks here. Re rating can
          happen quickly though and your % could rise fast.
    4.    By sticking to the best quality stocks on top brokers buy lists
          you could of done better. Ie baycorp , warehouse fle energy
          etc
     5. Some overseas markets ie dow look impressive but many stocks have
         stagnated their too and the market is driven higher by a
 narrow band of stocks
