I'd also wish for the CME to get their currency contracts off the ground.
These markets are actually easier to trade than the index products, IMHO.
Still, the general trading public doesn't seem to accept them, and liquidity
there is in a process of constant erosion.

CME E-mini S&P 500, E-mini Nasdaq 100 Futures Set Volume Records
Feb. 15, 2001—Trading volume in E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini Nasdaq 100 futures
rose to new record levels on Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. yesterday, as
138,187 E-mini S&P 500 futures and 126,045 E-mini Nasdaq 100 futures changed
hands.
The new records surpass those set on Oct. 10, 2000 and Jan. 10, 2001, when
132,063 E-mini S&P 500 and 117,021 E-mini Nasdaq 100 futures contracts were
traded.
Both E-mini equity index futures contracts—the fastest growing contracts in
the history of the exchange—are traded electronically on CME’s GLOBEX®2
trading system and are smaller-sized versions of contracts traded actively
via open outcry on the exchange’s trading floor. E-mini index trading occurs
virtually around the clock from 3:45 p.m. until 3:15 p.m. the following day.
