Corporate Bond Prices

There is no source, per se. Corporate bond prices are determined by various factors. The credit rating, date of maturity, coupon (interest the bond pays), call features, issuer, current interest rate & inflation environment, and duration all play a role in determining a bond's yield. Yield is really how bonds are priced & traded. For example, a new issue AAA corporate bond that matures in 10 years might be issued at par, 100, with a 5% coupon and therefore yields 5%. If current interest rates go down, then this same bond is worth more (because it pays more than newer bonds). So if it's price goes up to 102 (a $20 premium), it's yield might go down to 4% (you need a bond calculator to figure this out, that's just a guess). On the other hand, if interest rates stay the same, but the credit rating of the issuer is lowered from AAA (the highest) to CCC (junk) the yield will go way up (because the price goes down) because the risk of default is high. Check the link below. Ultimately, the price a bidder is willing to pay and an offerer is willing to sell will determine the price of any security.

How to Reduce Heartburn

    Eat smaller meals more frequently. A big meal is a common cause of heartburn and can be a trigger.

  • 2

    Stop eating a few hours before bedtime. Eating a late meal or late at night is a common cause of heartburn.

  • 3

    Avoid eating fatty foods, especially at night. Fatty foods are another common cause of heartburn.

  • 4

    Know your own trigger foods. While some people are just fine drinking citrus juice, others may get heartburn immediately after drinking it. The acid from the citrus juice contributes to heartburn for some people.

  • 5

    Avoid known foods that can cause heartburn. Chocolate, alcohol, tomatoes, drinks with caffeine, onions, garlic and spicy foods are common triggers that can cause heartburn.

  • 6

    Go for a walk after dinner instead of exercising. Vigorous exercise after eating should be avoided if you are prone to heartburn.

  • 7

    Sleep with the head of your bed elevated. Elevating the head of your bed helps reduce acid reflux, a common cause of heartburn. If you sleep on your side, sleep on your left side to reduce acid reflux as well.

  • 8

    Use "natural" cures for heartburn, including taking apple cider vinegar. Despite how it sounds, taking a large sip of apple cider vinegar has helped many that suffer from heartburn. Chamomile, peppermint and ginger have also helped relieve heartburn.

  • 9

    Buy over the counter antacids for occasional relief of heartburn. Over the counter antacids are very effective in relieving heartburn, but should only be used occasionally. Overuse of antacids can become counterproductive; the body thinks it doesn't have enough acid and will make more if antacids are used too much.
