However, I'm confused about the practicalities. Suppose I find a bond I want. How/where do I place the order? Whom/how do I pay? How does the "bond" get into my account? Is it a piece of paper or what? What sort of account do I need in order to hold a bond? Do you have to set up an account at the web site where you purchase the bond? Or can you buy a bond anywhere and then have it placed in your Charles Schwab or e-trade or whatever account? Great site, great info. However, I’m confused about the practicalities.

McEwen Fri, 20 Mar 2009 15:50:52 +0000 http://content.municipalbonds.com/?p=59#comment-116 Thanks for all the hard work in producing this splendid website. Where can I go to get a complete description (prospectus?) of the listed bonds, with ratings, insurers, etc.? As a novice, I'm having trouble deciphering all the abbreviations and want to know the purpose of the bond and the source of revenue. Thank you.

Here, you can do a description search "city name" or the appropriate words or you can search by CUSIP, this is a number that identifies each bond issue. Whenever you click on any security description on any of our pages, you will see every single trade in our database as reported to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.
