- Who is the Bonds poster for?
- Bonds belongs to the Money section rather than to a school year, because money is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning investing can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Bonds poster?
- A bond is a loan you own. Its price falls when new loans pay more. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Bonds belongs on the wall where that money work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Bonds?
- Asset Classes, Time in the Market and Diversification sit alongside Bonds in the Money section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Asset ClassesTime in the MarketDiversification
- Is the Bonds poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Bonds downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Money section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Bonds poster print at?
- Bonds is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Bonds loses nothing.Printing guide
