Investment slang for making a speculative or risky investment with the hope of achieving an unusually high return. This typically refers to putting money into an unproven investment, startup, or volatile asset. While occasionally successful, "taking a flier" generally involves significant risk of loss and is not recommended for core retirement savings.
