>Why are there so many tickers?

There are a lot of tickers at Shrewd'm because we don't know in advance which boards will become popular, so I pre-loaded (*) the company boards to give everyone the opportunity to continue the company-specific communities.

When focussing on a company not related to Berkshire, but preferring the audience here to read your post, you can create the post on the specific company board and then add a post here with OT with a brief summary of your post, and a link (copy-paste the URL in the browser's address bar) to the post itself.

A number of other Shrewd'm company boards are becoming increasingly popular but where there is a will there is traffic.

I have created the Fairfax Financial board here just now:
Shrewd'm: Fairfax Financial board at Shrewd'm

* To pre-load Shrewd'm with so many companies, I referenced companies in the S&P500 as a starting point, but authors here have made requests for a lot of other companies outside the S&P500 - especially from the NASDAQ - and every request has resulted in a new board.
