My point is 1) she has no "belief" in the first place about Walmart, and even thoses Demmy ladies in St. Louis know that, and 2) she didn't take any action with the stock- I'm sure she doesn't manage it.
You ignore the distinction between belief, and profession of belief.

She professed to a belief regarding WalMart, in that they are destroying America because of their rapacious (sp?) profit-seeking, but she is willing to reward that rapacity (sp?) by purchasing their stock because that rapacity (sp?) causes her investment to rise in value, and her purchasing of the stock drives up the stock price (through simple s/d), which feeds the rapacity, which . . . well, you know.
