If you are happy with this fund, then stick with it. That makes
things easy to track. If you want to pick up another fund, I'd
suggest looking into some ETFs that track indexes, or stick with
the Vanguard index funds. Any of the indexes are OK to follow,
but I prefer larger indexes such as the S&P 500 and the Russell.
A global index might be OK for a small part of your holdings.
