Thanks,
i was thinking more in terms of corporate bonds.. the minimum contract size on those t bills are 100k.. to rich for my blood.
The links I provided are to the bond futures, which can be traded for as little as $5000 (maybe even lower).

As for individual corporate bonds, I would recommend doing quite a bit of homework before thinking about trying to daytrade them. Even some of the most liquid issues can have trouble selling on the market. It's not as easy as stocks or futures. Your broker has to go find a willing buyer at the price you are asking and it can take DAYS to fill.
