Bond Trading

[CrushinFelt]

Anyone have any actual experience in Bond Trading. Preferrably not something like along the lines of buying and holding A or AA securities to diversify a portfolio. Any recommendations for books are welcome as well.

Basically, I pretty much know all there is to know abuot options and can't really learn more until I really start to trade them often and find out what market dynamics are really like. With bonds however, I know the mechanics of course, so I know how they're priced and what affects them (credit risk, yield curve, etc.), but I don't really know what makes bond trading profitable.

Any input/experience is welcome. I made my first bond trade on a countrywide bond that is basically a bet on their bankrupty probability being overstated as well as an expectation in fed rate cuts affecting the yield curve. Equities bore me and I feel like an analytical person can outperform the market using bonds moreso than using equities.
