Non-ETF Stocks to Buy (Long Term) US Resident

I’m looking to buy and “forget” so to speak some stocks for at least 7-8 year. Obviously I’m looking for growth and not looking to sell until 8 years or so. What are your recommendations? I know of the big fishMicrosoft, Amazon, Alphabet, etc but are there any small or other big one I can park into. I’m a beginner so most you have a higher knowledge and in depth experience in this field. I’m just a mechanic. My reason for parking it for so long is just a personal reason. Thanks in advance. submi
