Best Timeshare Stock To Buy According To Hedge Funds
We find evil companies to be a very rewarding hunting ground to uncover long-term stock winners. In our opinion companies like Philip Morris (PM), Facebook (FB), Apple Inc. (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL) are evil companies that delivered 1000% or more gains to their investors. These companies thrive at the expense of their clients. Philip Morris slowly kills its customers. Facebook enslaves more than 2 billion users who provide free content for the media giant and reveal intimate personal details which are then used to display targeted advertisements to these people. Apple tries every little trick in the book to get its captivated users spend hundreds of dollars on products/features that are available at a fraction of Apple’s prices elsewhere. Apple and Google also force app and content developers to pay an arm and a leg to bring their services to Apple users. Finally Google uses its search algorithm as a weapon to force internet companies pay for traffic which they used to get for free.

Here is an excerpt from the article:
“But two lawsuits filed against Diamond suggest a less solicitous attitude, one that reflects the experience of Ms. Gutierrez in Lake Tahoe. One case was filed in October 2014 in California. In it, 11 timeshare owners said they had agreed to pay to upgrade their membership in the Diamond resorts. After the upgrade, the lawsuit says, the members were unable to use the resorts they had hoped to and their maintenance fees rose even though Diamond’s representatives had told them they would fall.
A Florida lawsuit filed in March 2015 said that Diamond tried to pressure the plaintiffs to upgrade to what amounted to “programs to fleece more and more money out of the plaintiffs.””
