Question: Where can i find historical rate charts for corporate bond yields?

I am looking for the 10-year (AAA) corporate bond rate and 10-year (A) corporate bond rate. I need prices beginning september 25th of this year. please don’t give me general answers like “look in yahoo finance.” I need specific directions on how to get to the right page. I have been looking for this historical data for an hour now and i am having no luck. please help me!

Answer: Look for bond indexes, Merrill Lynch has one, try the Federal Reserve Bank of NY website.

Look up a specific issue and the historical for the peer group is generally right with it for comparison. Use the NYSE.com to find that information.

Good luck

Question: Where can I find companies that have AAA ratings?

I am looking for a list of all U.S. companies that have their Corporate Bonds (at least one such issue) rated as AAA or Aaa currently.
Other infomation I need is name of the issuing company (whose bonds got a AAA rating). It is the bond issue that gets the rating, not the company. The industry name for the company and yield to maturity or coupon rate of a currently alive AAA rated bond of the company

Any help would be wonderful…Thank you!
ebiznus.com is a job search site, that is no help to me.

Answer: When company is rated AAA. their bonds are also rated same. Check yourself below link. There were probably fewer companies having AAA rating. Now it depends whether their bonds are quoted or not . Better check Stock sites.

Check other details yourself
