I think it is Siege. Investment is an archaic word used in the military to denote a Siege. High fliers are speculative shares

Thanks, chrisg - I'd settled on 'siege' anyway,but am glad there's something by way of reasoning!

Have just checked Chambers, where I read that 'investment' can mean a blockade(miltary), so that'd lead to 'siege'.
