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.
So are you calling her a liar, then? Because if she stated it I have to presume she believes it, if not particularly strongly. She didn't preface it with a "My husband will fight for . . . " or something.

As for her portfolio, she needs to vet it. I don't care how many millions you have, and how many different stocks, if you're taking public positions (beyond cocktail party chatter), falling back on the "i didn't know I had that stock" isn't acceptable.

(ETA): IF it seems like the argument passed me by, well, sorry, but blame the fucker who called me while I was in the middle of the post.
