If they are all the same invested - and will have the same problems - why bother?

Why bother what?
Investing in the various similar indexes? Or investing in those specific stock?

I have alluded to my answer. Watch the basket closely.

Of course, that is only a portion of my total holdings. Don't put ALL your eggs in one basket. In case you aren't as smart as you think you are. ;-)
Always ask yourself, "But what if I am wrong?"

Yeah, that just shifts the problem to a different level. Having the right balance between large enough investment to make a significant gain but not so large that it is a significant risk.
