JZE AND JZJ: UNDERLYING AT & T BOND DATA at FINRA

I have discussed several times the Trust Certificates containing the senior AT & T bond, maturing in 2031.  The FINRA web site has trade data for bonds accessible for free by an individual investor.  The CUSIP is 001957BD0 and the symbol is T.JH, with the last price shown via this link.   FINRA - Investor Information - Market Data - Bonds - Bond Detail This site also contains a 1 year chart of the trades.  Another one that I mentioned earlier today was JZH and the underlying bond trades can be found at the FINRA site at this link. FINRA - Investor Information - Market Data - Bonds - Bond Detail (symbol PRU.GS/CUSIP 74432QAC9)  I would just highlight that these corporate bonds just fell a great deal in October as the stock market crashed and it is notable to me how well they were doing before the stock market entered phase 2 of the bear. This is the link to the Verizon bond contained in PJL and XFL TCs, FINRA - Investor Information - Market Data - Bonds - Bond Detail This is the link to the Duke Capital bond contained in JBI. FINRA - Investor Information - Market Data - Bonds - Bond Detail (SYMBOL DUK.GV/ CUSIP 26439RAK2) Lastly, I also mentioned an AON junior deferrable interest bond contained in the TC KTN, FINRA - Investor Information - Market Data - Bonds - Bond Detail (SYMBOL AOC.GA/ CUSIP 037388AE5)


The FINRA site is a good one for an individual to check individual bond prices and to see the the trading history for the bond.  The charts are most instructive to me, showing an across the board major disruption in the corporate bond market causing a plunge in prices and a rise in yields coterminous with the stock market dive in the September thru November time frame.
