So the question is, does a smart investor need to care about the multi record breaking, American singer songwriter who seems to be unstoppable? How do you join the worldwide band of \u2018Swifties\u2019 after so many years of missing out on her music even though you are reading this for money lessons?<\/p>\n

Tortured Poets Club is an album every investor goes through: You get attached to a financial instrument, go through a halcyon period, and then get betrayed and wish to seek revenge. And if you are looking at revenge so you can win at making money, read on!<\/p>\n

Say \u2018I’m gonna get you back\u2019 now!<\/h2>\n

If you have teenagers at home, they will tell you that this song sounds like Olivia Rodrigez\u2019s ‘Get Him Back\u2019. But pay attention to the words here: Whether I\u2019m going to be your wife\/ or I\u2019m gonna break your bike\/ I haven\u2019t decided yet\/ But I\u2019m going to get you back.<\/p>\n

A smart investor knows how important it is to have a backup plan because you know how financial markets can see downturns. When a bear mauls you suddenly, then you cannot turn your tail and run. Stop and think. You always have an option where you can \u2018break his bike\u2019. Your goal is clear: you need to have that success back.<\/p>\n

Sing, \u2018I can do it with a broken heart\u2019 to be inspired<\/h2>\n

Is this a heartbreak song about her relationship with the British lad Matt Healy, or is it about the innate strength of \u2018Tay Tay\u2019, a world heartthrob? \u2018I\u2019m so depressed\/ I act like it\u2019s my birthday every day\u2019 she sings, also saying, \u2018I cry a lot\/ but I\u2019m so productive\/ It\u2019s an act\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

If a young singer can speak about working through a heartbreak and finding inner strength to carry on, then what\u2019s stopping you – a savvy investor – to learn from your mistakes, pull yourself together to succeed again?!<\/p>\n

No more, \u2018I can fix him\/ (I really can)\u2019<\/h2>\n

So many people we know get into relationships, even marry those bad boys who sweet talk them and then dump them (as she sang in her earlier song:\u00a0 I\u2019m an Aston Martin that you steered straight into the ditch\/ Then ran and hid). Most people carry that delusion that they can fix the worst mistakes of their lives somehow. You believe that your love can change the nature of these folk who are so wrong for you.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say you invested in your friend\u2019s firm, or a stock everyone told you was wrong for you. When the stock begins to fail, and as a smart investor you know that this little snowball is going downhill is going to turn into an avalanche, burying you under it, will you accept defeat or like Taylor sing, \u2018They shake their heads saying\u2019, \u201cGod, help her”\/ When I tell \u2019em he\u2019s my man\u2019 and not face your mistake? Just like bad boys, some mistakes cannot be fixed. You need to take your losses on your chin and move on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Escape to \u2018Florida!!!\u2019<\/h2>\n

I am sure you watched many American crime shows where people commit crimes and then escape to Florida, or know that people who are done working retire to Florida drinking Pina Coladas all day and wait for the sun to set. In this song Taylor Swift sings, \u2018I need to forget\/ Take me to Florida\u2019.<\/p>\n

When people lose their life savings or a job, they always believe that running back to where their parents have retired is some sort of bravado. They will tell you they have moved back because they are going to take care of the elderly parents. You know it\u2019s an excuse. But you\u2019re smarter. You have invested carefully and even have a backup plan. If at all your world comes crashing down, you know you are prepared to start over again and again without becoming a burden on your parents.<\/p>\n

\u2018Down Bad\u2019 is reality. Face it!<\/h2>\n

\u2018Did you really beam me up\/ In a cloud of sparkling dust\/ Just to do experiments on?\/ Tell me I was the chosen one\/ Show me that this world is bigger than us\/ Then send me back where I came from\u2019, Taylor Swift sings, and as a die-hard fan you know she\u2019s talking about the super non-committal boyfriend Matt Healy.<\/p>\n

Haven\u2019t you too been distracted by smart presentations, fancy catalogues of benefits, the list of achievements of boards of directors and attractive financial plans when the company is trying to woo you into investing. You are mostly smart, scratching beneath the surface of these promises and know how to prevent yourself from falling so hard that you cannot recover.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Taylor Swift too does not wallow in her defeat, but writes a superb song about saying goodbye to London and then writing about it all in this wonderful poetic album that makes references to a punk legend Patti Smith, poet Dylan Thomas, Stevie Nicks, Greek mythology. This album title also has grammar scholars arguing about whether it\u2019s an attributive noun or a possessive noun. But hey, \u2018Everything\u2019s fair in love and poetry!\u2019<\/p>\n
