Question ID: 563621
I would like a complete list of the maturity date, coupon yield,
and CUSIP number, for bonds issued by BMHC (Building Materials
Holding Corporation).

Tip of 20% if the search is repeatable in a fee-free website :-)

All I'm looking for is a website when I can lookup
corporate bonds by issuer.
For example, I'd type in GM and get a list of bonds
they have issued, along with their CUSIP numbers.

Thanks

Hello atr-ga,

You should be able to conduct your search at this bond investors site:


http://www.investinginbonds.com/marketataglance.asp?catid=34


Use the search box that says:

Search by Issuers:
Enter issuer(at least 2 characters):



The trick here is in the name.  A search on GM won't really work, nor,
surprisingly, will a search on General Motors.  This is because the GM
bonds are formally named General Mtrs -- a search on this name returns
a list of several hundred bonds along with CUSIPs.

Your best bet is to experiment with a name.  Just typing in [ General
] for instance, will get you a large list of bonds starting with the
word General (e.g. General Electric), and it includes all the GM bonds
as well.

I trust this meets your needs.

However, please don't rate this answer until you are completely
satisfied.  If there's anything else I can do for you, just post a
Request for Clarification to let me know.

Cheers,

pafalafa-ga

Here are some sources for you, though only 1 is free:

I thought that the Wall Street Journal's site might have bond
information but I can't find it.  (Note that it too, is a subscription
site.)

Thanks, man.

Yahoo Finance has a good bond site, too, but it doesn't return CUSIPs
so I didn't mention it above.

But all that aside...shouldn't you be outside cycling?
