I've often read Stocks average +10%/year, is this true when factoring in taxes + inflation? Wondering if other investments that appear less attractive on paper

  6%: "The average annual total return and compound annual growth rate of the index, including dividends, since inception in 1926 has been approximately 9.8% (6% after inflation), and the annual standard deviation of the return over the same time period is 20.81%" [0].
