Investing would be more fun if you could attach a short message to your order for the guy on the other side of the trade.

Killam Apartment REIT ($KMP.UN) and Dream Unlimited ($DRM.TO) both trade at $17 and have almost identical yields (4.2%). But DRM's div has been growing rapidly, KMP's barely at all. Do real estate investors only care about current yield?

Since 2021 DRM has raised its div from 30 cents to 70 and paid $1.50 in special divs. KMP has gone from 69 cents to 72.

DRM also has ~$60 of NAV/share to power high rates of dividend growth for many years to come.

I’ve talked to dozens of amateur stock investors in the last 25+ years and have yet to meet a single value investor. They were all traders with “a system”. I think we forget how rare we actually are.

$DRM.TO dividend yield has surpassed 4%...just not the way I would have liked.

Tim may be the only one to get this story right.
Charlie Munger once read a single magazine article, spent ninety minutes thinking about it, and made $80 million investing in the idea. The company looked like a disaster. It had a ton of debt after five spinoffs in six years, and its revenues shrunk because of the 2001 recession. Principal payments on its debt were coming due that the company couldn't make. I spent weeks reconstructing what Munger actually saw, down to finding the exact article he likely read in 2001. New series at The Owner's Memo. open.substack.com/pub/theown…

This is down from 29% reported in Q1 2026, which would be before the large investment by ON.

9% of $350M is ~$30M. The market cap of $MPCT.UN is also ~$30M, so if my estimates are close to correct, this is very meaningful.

$BN opening up a sizeable lead in the great $BN vs $BAM debate. The "better business" is not always the better stock.
