Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Michael Mauboussin loved it
Guy in my training program gave me a copy of Al Rappaport's book called Creating Shareholder Value, which was published in 1986. So this is probably a year and a half or two years after that book was out. And he gave it to me for a completely different reason, it had nothing to do with the basic concept. But I read that book and the light bulbs all went off for me personally.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
