Hello Everyone!

I wanted to ask this question, what % of a return, whether a business or an investment is no longer considered "slow"?

Let's say I invested in the stock market and get an average return of 8%/ year. Obvious 8% is just too slow and unreliable considering recent events.

What if I changed things up a bit a say I get a consistent return of 30%/ year where my investment doesn't rely on market direction?
How does the answer change based on that?

Obviously there are more factors that come into play, for example control over how that return is made or time dedication.

But what % of return would you consider "Well, that's no longer slow"?

Would love to hear from anyone's thoughts below!
