re: Should I diversify my mutual fund holdings?

What exactly do you mean by "diversify"? Just spreading your investments around multiple funds isn't necessarily diversification.
In finance, "diversification" refers to investing in a variety of assets that have returns that tend not to move in synch with each other. So if you have one fund that invests mostly in US blue chips, buying a second fund that does essentially the same thing doesn't really do that much for you.

Fair point, and I should have clarified. I mean should I move more into funds with international or bond positions, etc. based on the current holdings of the fund I'm in. To me it seems pretty darn spread out, but putting my eggs into one basket always gives me pause.
