Q: Hi,

Should one treat an RESP with a child who is 17 years old similarly to someone would view their nest egg when only a few years from retirement?

In other words, I have an RESP for my nephew as his parents don't have the financial wherewithal to assist him with schooling, which will start in about 1.5 years. Should I be switching to more conservative investments with his schooling approaching?

Right now, I really just have CDZ and TD. Would you keep those?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: With the surge in commodity prices I bought positions in BHP and RIO. My portfolio is well diversified and mainly in value supported by yield. BHP and RIO combined only represent 3.3% of the total portfolio.
What concerns me at this point is the current noise about a potential recession later this year. That could hit metals and minerals fairly hard, particularly if the recession, if it happens, is worldwide. Spending on infrastructure construction as well as the demand for manufactured products could decrease substantially.
My first question is whether you support this scenario of a late 2022 recession. My second, obviously, is whether it's time to trim, sell, or just chill and ride out any downturn in the economy as I generally do. I do like the dividends of both RIO and BHP although they could easily be cut.
