put stock in
Have faith in
To put stock in something is to believe in it or consider it reliable: I don't put much stock in horoscopes.
The phrase treats trust as an investment—you're placing your confidence somewhere, with the implication that it might or might not pay off.
Usually appears with qualifiers: put little stock in, put too much stock in.
