Shifts out of investments (7)
I believe the answer is:
streaks
This might be a double definition.
'shifts' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'investments' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'out of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for streaks that I've seen before include "Skaters (anag.)" , "Stripes for skaters" , "Runs naughtily nude in public" .)
