Not too much wrong with holding some of both.
You have a nice start with AAPL, MMM and Dis, grab a few more nice core stocks and a few funds, be patient and let the time, monies,and holdings work for you.
1 thing I have learned and you will learn here, patience, patience, patience, Though I watch my accounts through the day, I dont let the ups and downs affect me, its a marathon not a sprint and you are extremely lucky and have time on your side and a ton of wisdom here.
As for friends telling you what to, or not to do in the market, or life in general, take it with a grain of salt. I was lambasted years ago for buying AAPL for myself and kids by some family members, we know how that turned out.
Looking back at my "investing" I can see my mistakes of buying a "breakout" stock, normally on someones recommendation.
Good luck to you and nice start.
