Many will start their investing journey in 2023. This is how I would do it.

I would start by creating a list of stocks to buy, like the one I have included in this video -- an excellent group of stocks including the Walt Disney Company (DIS -1.13%). The video also presents a strategy for how and when to buy these stocks to reduce the risk of buying at higher prices.

*Stock prices used were the afternoon prices of Jan. 1, 2023. The video was published on Jan. 3, 2023.
