I mentioned index funds somewhere else in the thread; possibly worth noting that if you invest in, e.g., a normal S&P500 fund, then you're de facto investing quite a lot in AAPL since it's going to be weighted by market capitalization.
If that's worrying, you can find "equal weighted" funds, that use the same funds as the index but weight everything equally -- essentially betting against AAPL and XOM in favor of slightly smaller companies. I offer no opinion as to whether that's a good idea or not.
