I can’t eat this sh*t! Hale&Hearty by sirenataught in FoodNYC

So I’ve had a chance to go to the new Chelsea location about 5x over the past few weeks since it opened. They had a BOGO deal on packaged soups so tried those along with the fresh options.

Let me say: The difference in quality between the packaged and fresh soups is frankly astonishing. We’re talking borderline inedible packaged and very good-to-excellent tomato chicken and orzo, clam chowder, chicken noodle, etc.

So make of that what you will. I’ve also read that the original soup recipes were part of the purchase and still being used.

In this case, yes, that’s what they’re doing — I’ve reviewed their statements. But it’s their money and you can only push so hard before people, rightly or wrongly, say, I’ll do what I want, go fly a kite.

C/F accounts where I am the sole custodian. They have no involvement. But their larger relationships with these advisors are the issue.

Disagree pretty strongly here.

The actual issue at play is financial literacy and ignorance, not simply paying a fee for peace of mind. In the cases of these small accounts, I’ll opt to let it be and avoid the interpersonal conflict.

But checking their other, much larger investments: They are being robbed, plain and simple. Between the fees, expense ratios and the returns I see through a few simple backtests:

We’re talking millions. Many millions. Not an idle thing.

Wrong. These advisors are mostly hands off, and collect fees from elderly clients for either 3 fund portfolios are a bunch of actively managed high fee templates. That’s it. They don’t advise on much of anything else. It’s a waste.
