You are saying that "investment" only happens when you provide capital to a corporation.

Presumably, under this definition, when you sell stock that is not "disinvestment".

Unless you are selling it back to the company itself. Then it is "disinvestment", because the total amount of capital provided to the corporation has gone down.

That is not what people mean by the term "investment". You need to find a different word, because "investment" has a more general meaning than the concept you are talking about.
