No wonder theres a credit crisis. No one can find any information on bond prices. Get a proper bond trading platform ( that even Mr Mentie can use)
1) Issuer
2) Coupon
3) Expiry Date
4) Flat Yield/APR
5) Bid offer spread
6) Credit Rating (or maybe not)
7) Size of issue/What dates the coupon is paid
8) Prospectus (like Edgar)
9) Balance Sheet (If its a corporate) Balance Sheet ratios
8) Get the IMF to back it.
I want to scroll across the page drill down and find all this information all in one place.
Make it easy to find and search. 
Hoover up all these other bond trading platforms like bondonline.com, bradynet( quite good but you have to subscribe) bondzRus.com, bondsUlike.com gentlemenpreferbonds.com etc and include all the foreign government bonds. Can I find a price for the Russian Federation 2028 Eurobond? No I can't. Yes we can.  If it is a complex bond with step up/ step down put/call, reverse osmosis provisions etc  DONT BOTHER LISTING IT. Issuers and investors will then realise that the simpler the product, and the bigger the issue, the more liquid it will be. Retail interest in bonds is low because of the lack of an adequate trading platform.[/quote]
