I'd love to find a 9% monthly return, but that just doesn't exist unfortunately. There may be some argument that 9% is too high even for an annual return, but if you look at a broad index for the last few decades like the S&P or the Dow, 9% would be about average. You would definitely have better and worse years, but over a few decades you would probably end up around 7-9%. James you are correct that the 9% is the annual return.
