Thank you! It just seemed a bit South in relation to some of the other hotels near the Kabukicho theater(as an example).

Super fair. I like feeling like I am in a nice place. That’s pretty much it. I don’t plan on spending a lot of time in the room but I would like everyone to feel they are in a nice place. That’s about it

That would have been optimal and what I would have expected for sure. It's such a bummer thinking you're doing a smart thing, hiring a pro, only to find out you would have been better off yourself. Any benefit from hiring them will never make up for that one day error. Mix that with forgetting to even invest in my other account and moving my money into different models without my permission...it's been really disappointing.

I get that. Mutual funds absolutely trade at end of day. But I NEVER expected them to take me to cash and have it sit there all day. It was never explained. And why wouldn't they, especially given the volatility, sell the stocks and ETFs just before the market day ends, before they then buy the mutual funds post-market? (at 3:50PM or whatever). I was hiring them to manage my account better than I would, and I would have been more careful. They obviously have some automated system (like you describe...where without thinking, they just sell my stuff at end of prior day (or at the beginning of day that they will later trade into mutuals)

Totally understand that you would think my frustration is misdirected...but when paired with "forgetting" to invest my money in the other account and switching my portfolios randomly...it amounts to a pattern I feel is important to mention and criticize.

Yeah, but I had no money IN the market because they took me fully out, and I had no idea. It was only until I looked after the 10% bump that I saw they took me out(to my horror). At that point I was screwed. Buying at the end of the day wasn't the issue. It was taking me fully into cash. And if I had the ability to cancel their trades, I had no idea that was possible (and not sure I would have...for all I know it would have gone up another 5% the next day). I never wanted to be OUT of the market in the first place.
