Got below when I asked Grok to research Shrewdm and provide a report.

====================

Shrewdm.com (also styled Shrewd’m or Shrewd'm) is a free online investing discussion forum and community, primarily focused on value investing, long-term ownership, and thoughtful analysis.

Origins and Background
It emerged as a spiritual successor to the classic Motley Fool (TMF) discussion boards. When The Motley Fool overhauled its public forums into a different format (around 2022), many longtime participants felt the community spirit was lost. User Manlobbi created Shrewdm.com as an independent alternative that deliberately recreates the older TMF board style—threaded discussions, recommendations (“recs”), “Best Of” rankings driven by user votes rather than algorithms, and a culture of in-depth, relatively civil conversation.

Trustpilot lists the company as based in Australia. Reading is free, and joining/posting is also free.

Tone and culture
Emphasizes respectful, substantive discussion over “hot picks,” hype, or rants. Users frequently describe it as a strong self-education resource with seasoned investors sharing ideas, scuttlebutt, and long-term thinking. Value investing is a core orientation.

Signature board
The Berkshire Hathaway board is repeatedly called one of the best (or the best) public sources of information and discussion on BRK anywhere online. Regular contributors include longtime TMF veterans such as mungofitch.

Other active areas
Mechanical Investing (rules-based screening, rankings using tools like SI Pro or Value Line, backtesting discussions), Macroeconomic Trends and Risks, Falling Knives (distressed/value opportunities), individual stock boards (e.g., Costco, Amazon, Nvidia, PayPal, Brookfield), Investing Beginners (with multi-part “How to Invest Shrewd’m Style” guides), plus some non-investing boards (Nutrition & Exercise, Atheist Shrewds, Travel, STEM, etc.).

Features
Classic message-board interface with threaded/unthreaded views, user recommendations that power daily/monthly “Best Of” lists, “The Shrewd’m Weekly,” “Post of the Week,” search, and educational sections (“Learn to Invest,” “How to Become Shrewd”).

Reputation
On Trustpilot it holds a solid rating (around 4.1/5 from a small number of reviews as of early 2026). Reviewers praise it as an excellent learning hub, a high-quality continuation of the old Motley Fool community, and a place with little noise compared with many other investing forums.

Summary
Shrewdm.com is essentially a niche, independent, free forum that preserved and continues a decades-old community of serious individual investors—especially those oriented toward Berkshire Hathaway-style value investing and mechanical strategies—after changes at The Motley Fool. It prioritizes depth, civility, and education over hype. The site remains active with recent posts into 2026.You can visit it directly at shrewdm.com (or www.shrewdm.com); many pages are publicly readable without an account.
