Wayne, If you are asking about rates in general, i.e., what is a 20 year AA going for, the answer is no on the Web. My quote machine gives me that info, but I have not found it for corporates on the Web. Bloomberg has excellent general muni, mortgage and intl bond yield info, but not corporate. If you are talking about quotes on actual bonds, no rate machine, not even a Bloomberg or a Telerate, is accurate on those. The only way to find out what they are going for is to check the NYSE listings, which account for a very small % of issues, or call a broker, which is the way all trades are done. This is one reason fund bond pricing is suspect, even for Treasuries, unless you are talking only about the current bond. Off the run pricing is almost a state secret.
