Yeah, she's in some elite company on that resolutions article...Snoop Doggy Dogg??? Screw the "getting my nails done...", her six resolutions should've been:

1.) I resolve not to waste airtime from the NYSE floor yapping about $80 stocks that are up/down 1/4 point (AOL anyone?).

2.) I resolve to change my demeanor on the NYSE floor to a more professional, subdued style. Momentum junkies may like my 1999 cheerleading style, but I've realized that I look like a total idiot to everyone else. Memo to self: higher decibels/hype levels don't always translate into higher ratings.

3.) Instead of getting my nails done, I resolve to getting my hair shampoo-ed on a daily basis, so that I don't look like I just changed the oil in my car. My agent promised me a Pennzoil commercial, but...

4.) I resolve to acknowledge that it is the stocks that people tune in for, not me. Memo to self: I am not "THE" story, rather the stocks and markets are.

5.) I resolve not to get "used" as an unknowing mouthpiece by analysts who are looking to work an angle on IBM and S&P contracts on options expiration days.

6.) I resolve to convince Anheuser Busch to discontinue those Budweiser commericials with the ferret, so that viewers will stop confusing me with him.
