as the extra market growth above the 5-7% imputed rate Recently I haven't been noticing much "market growth above the 5-7% imputed rate", but that may be just my own cynicism.

I think I responded slightly off-topic to this before.
The general market isn't showing 5-7% right now, but if you look at dividend paying stocks like FRO, or hard currency funds like MERKX, you can get 10%+.
