"Only" 6%?

Bonds (a safe investment) are usually at ~2%.

A conservatively allocated growth fund doing 6% is pret-t-y good.

So bonds that have a negative return after inflation are a safe investment?

Norway's wealth fund's annualized return is only 6.6% since 1998. https://www.nbim.no/en/investments/returns

Is this poor performance due to this kind of active management?

The orange light on the toothbrush comes on after three months to remind you to change it - it's only slightly annoying but this worked perfectly to reset it.

3M also knows that many of the claimants are full of it - but a court would still side in favor of veterans so it makes sense to settle the cases.

"Nearly a quarter of the plaintiffs with impairment under either AMA or WHO standards reported their condition in hearing tests before they ever used the Combat Arms earplugs"

"Under WHO and National Institute of Health standards, more than 85% of plaintiffs have normal hearing."

It could just be secret drone program(s) that aren't disclosed to the rest of the air force.
PerryUlyssesCox · 3 years ago
Or the availability of inexpensive commercial drones may correlate with the trend they are describing. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/keep-your-...
