Investing in the stock market can be intimidating, especially without prior knowledge. It’s a long-term game that requires savings you’re willing to part with—at least temporarily. Personally, I waited quite a while before entering the stock market because I focused first on building my emergency fund.
An emergency fund should never be overlooked. It’s a financial safety net in case life throws you a curveball. While saving for mine, I also opened a separate bank account specifically for investing in the Philippine stock market.
You can start small—either by setting aside ₱5,000 per month or saving up a lump sum of at least ₱25,000 before you begin investing.
Since I’m usually swamped with my 6:30 AM to 3:30 PM job, I often felt too tired to dive into studying the stock market. Then one day, I came across Bo Sanchez’s Truly Rich Club through an ad on the blue app (Facebook). I signed up for a webinar, and it finally helped me understand how to start investing—even as someone with zero knowledge.
What is Truly Rich Club
I began learning about stock market on my own. By reading various materials, I gradually understood the basics. Still, I felt scared that the ₱25,000 I had saved might disappear, especially since I didn’t fully understand how the economy or stock charts worked.
That’s when the Truly Rich Club helped me break through some of my fears and gain more clarity. Founded by Bo Sanchez, the club offers a membership-based community that equips individuals with practical tools, clear strategies, and step-by-step guidance to start investing in the stock market with confidence.
Membership
I bought a membership while attending one of their webinars. I told myself I’d try it for just one month to see how it goes.
They also offer webinars and live Q&A sessions that helped me deepen my understanding of the stock market.

How to Check the Recommendation of Truly Rich Club
Inside the platform, I found a list of recommended stocks—what to buy, what to stop buying, and what to continue holding. Their analysts had already done the work for us. All we, members, needed to do were invest money in the right stocks based on their expert advice.
Simply go to the “Recommendations” tab and click “SAM”.
You may also check the “BOSS” tab. BOSS stands for Brother Bo’s Strategic Stock, which is their top stock recommendation for the month.
