Probably not, unless the bond trades on an exchange using a ticker
symbol.

If you hold the bond at a brokerage from which you can download,
they may (should, I think) download your bond prices ... but
possibly only when there are also actual transactions to
download.

I gave it a try with one of my accounts (Etrade) and bond prices
*were* updated even though there were no transactions.

I've never been able to pin down the specifics of this, but I
frequently don't get bond prices when I think they've changed.
Anecdotally, I noticed that it seemed it was the days I had no
transactions downloaded that I didn't get bond prices ... but I
had recently been coming to think that was not likely the
criteria. But I put out the caveat, since I do know there are
days when I don't get bond prices ... just not necessarily why.

[My bonds are held at Smith Barney.]
