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

The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham

Graham’s ideas made so much sense to me, not really the stuff about valuing a business, because I didn’t know the first thing about accounting, but the notion that the value of a business is irrelevant in the short-run.

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.
