low trading volume continues

Have we really got several NYSE traders on one thread at the same time? Cool.
Yes, the volume is the pits. The floor owns the market right now. It's a brave new world, I suppose, so maybe old patterns will change, but I expect the order flow to come back, so I can get on with making a living.
Would my listed associates be willing to put in a paragraph that describes your style? Here's mine:
I'm not really a <i>scalper</i>, but I usually only hang on for the first push. When there's order flow it pays. When the order flow is slow, the floor owns the trade and it's basically a coin toss. Seems like position trading is about the only thing that works in those cases.
I watch around 120 stocks, and together they give me a feel for breadth and tone and whatever else you want to call it. I actually trade about 20 issues on the average day, and lately I've zeroed in on one or two that seem to make up most of my volume on a given day.
I dream of becoming a position trader. I regularly add size in active, real markets. I definitely want to trade commodities and currencies again.

This does not happen to me.
What stocks do you have this happen to you in?
I trade huge stocks like GE, JPM, C, WMT, TGT, KO, HD, TXN, MU, FRE, FNM etc etc?? I never trade NASDAQ [rarely anyway - once in a while AMD against INTC] - if it doesn't trade a million minimum a day, I don't touch it.
