I honestly don't know. I always sell all my RSU, because apparently I'm a sucker, but the growth seems legitimate (when you look at the market as a whole). The business is so diversified, with new things coming all the time, I can't see it faltering a ton unless a Blue Origin rocket falls on Bezos's head.

In the normal investing world, 18% is a really, really good rate of return
It's been a crazy year all around, so "normal" isn't really applicable. Vanguards top 10 ETFs were 30-39% over the last year and the S&P is up 24%.

Per the above, it looks like your annualized rate of 21.6% would put it around 35th best (60th percentile). IOW, you're just a wee bit better than mid-pack. You can definitely do better.
Mine is 28% over the last year, but I purposely chose a US large cap growth fund because I'm conservative like that.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
