Would be nice to see some real volatility again.

The markets were awesome for trading from mid 2007 until mid 2009. Since then, it's been 2 1/2 years of pretty boring trading, with the exception of some Flash Crash excitement (in May 2010) and debt ceiling excitement in Aug 2011.

I don't think we'll see any real volatility originating out of the U.S. this year. However, the European situation could be poised to generate some sharp volatility as the year progresses. Unfortunately, European created volatility tends to cause our markets to gap sharply at the open, and then snooze for much of the day (not exactly the best sort of volatility for effective trading).

In any case, best of luck to everyone in 2012!
