For most folks, the purchase of a share of Citigroup stock is a better monetary investment than a timeshare...

Citi is down about 60% for the year, not a normal year but still a valid point that any investment can go bad. I concur getting a good return an a direct purchase timeshare is more difficult. If people had the support of experts willing to help them with timeshares as there is with investing in stocks rather than the people more focused on taking advantage of timeshare owners, the average timeshare owner would be much better off. And they would realize they have an excellent investment becuase they used it to its fullest extent.

If people were supported and educated in the use of timeshares rather than taken advantage of, timeshare values would rise and this conversation would not be happening.
