I've been drawing data from a WSJ page into google drive, thanks to fnord or zed thou or whoever discovered this latest table.
912810RC4 used to be there, and now it's gone. (Maturity date 8/15/2043).
I don't think I changed my spreadsheet. Does anyone know what happened?

=vlookup(date(2043,8,15),wsj!A202:C282,3,FALSE)

Looks like a typo, most likely. Fidelity's page is showing the 8/15/2043 bond but not the 5/15/2043 one.

Dualstow,

Are you still seeing this bond in the WSJ tables?  I still don't see it showing up.  I'm going to email them.

Edit:

Here is the reply I received:
Thank you for contacting Dow Jones. We only report information that we get from ICAP.com. The information must not have been reported there.

THanks, Hoost. I didn't see your post until just now. (A YEAR later ;-)) For some reason it didn't show up in Unread Posts Since Last Visit.
Yeah, it disappeared the day after I found it, and occasionally reappears like the Flying Dutchman on a stormy night.
