Q: Hi 5i: Early this year I recommended AW.un for my wife's account. It went up nicely but has since dropped significantly. Her investment horizon is medium to long term so holding it is not a problem unless the fundamentals have gone bad. I realize same store growth has not been good recently, which is not a surprise. Is there anything else going on that would make it advisable to cut losses now?

Q: Not sure how much you consider technicals before making purchases, but what do you make of the chart here? Seems to be breaking down. Would you wait a bit for a better deal? Or is that trying to be to cute for whats destined to be a long term hold.
