Flying by the seat of your pants
| Meaning: | To do something without planning, to change course midstream, to figure things out as you go. |
| Example: | Most stock investors are not making educated decisions, they are just flying by the seat of their pants. |

Thanks to Kensmark A safe bet is that many who pushed the envelope crashed. The expression was popularized by Tom Wolfe in his book “The right stuff” (1979) and later the movie of the same name. |

Alternatively, A metaphor drawn from parades, which do not merely pass, but rather do so with flags raised, “with flying colours.” |
