It's Saturday, so I my brokerage (BMO Investorline) isn't going to show any offerings right now.
I'm not speaking of MBSs of the 2008 financial crisis, bond funds or anything like that. I'm speaking of corporate bonds issued by banks and financial companies. I definately do see GICs issued by the banks.
And speaking of which, if corporate bonds issued by banks do exist, did Lehman Brothers and Bear Sterns issue their own bonds? Did the bond holders get their money back when they went bankrupt?
