LizH,
With the greatest respect to Harry it really isn't a good idea to listen to anybody on these boards as we all have our own agenda.
Much more importantly none of us know the future. What we do know is stock have been rising for me than 10 years and so we are due a crash at some point. When and how soon...No idea. Certain sectors have made 10,000s % of gains so following historically successful companies may also lead to loses.
Add to that the affect of the pandemic, worldwide inflation, Quantitive easing and the current political situation and its never been more like guess work.
I will throw in my 2Ps worth. A global equity fund is by far the safest investment and money dripped in over a period of time has usually since a good return......If you do want to buy particular stocks the UK market is much much cheaper than the USA at present...
