SEC's New , Climate Disclosure Rules , Facing Multiple Lawsuits.
'Newsweek' reports that both industry and
environmental groups have legally challenged the
Securities and Exchange Commission over new rules. .
The new rules require some businesses to disclose
information about climate risks, including direct
greenhouse gas emissions and risks from extreme weather.
The SEC rules, which were approved on March 6 by a 3-2 vote,
also require companies to provide investors with context
on how those companies plan on managing those risks.
Some requirements were pared back prior to the rules
being approved. Those rules include reporting on Scope 3
emissions which relate to the company's supply chain.
In response to the new rules, two fossil fuel producing
companies filed lawsuits accusing the SEC of burdening
companies and exposing them to potential litigation.
19 state attorney generals have also
filed lawsuits claiming that the new rules
exceed the SEC's legal authority.
On the other side, environmental groups the Sierra Club
Foundation and Earthjustice announced their own lawsuits
accusing the SEC of watering down rules to protect investors.
Sierra Club has millions of members
and supporters who have investments
in the market. It's really critical that
we have access to information about
climate risks that may be faced
by the kinds of entities that
we would hope to invest in, Andres Restrepo, Sierra Club Senior Attorney, via Newsweek.
'Newsweek' reports that the SEC rules were
meant to take effect in 2026, however, the
legal challenges are likely to result in delays.
The new rules come as the U.S. Supreme Court
has indicated plans to restrict the regulatory
authority of environmental enforcement agencies.

Bitcoin Rallies, on Hopes of Renewed Interest , Among Mainstream Investors.
On March 4, the price of Bitcoin broke $65,000,
bringing it closer to returning to an all-time
high reached in November 2021.
NBC reports that the latest rally has been driven
by hopes that the launch of bitcoin exchange-
traded funds will expand bitcoin's pool of buyers. .
In 2024, the cryptocurrency has
gained over 48%, rapidly approaching its
record intra-day all-time high of over $68,000.
In January, Bitcoin ETFs were first approved by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). .
The SEC said the approval of the ETFs were meant
to make it easier for investors to gain exposure to
Bitcoin without having to actually own the digital coins.
NBC reports that the world of crypto is also banking
on a potential rally following a technical event
known as "halving" scheduled to occur in April.
This event will see the rate of supply for new bitcoin
to decline, which could cause the value of the
cryptocurrency to increase if demand remains unchanged.
Some mainstream investment experts have
still urged caution when it comes to investing
in the controversial cryptocurrency.
With equities, you own a share
of a company that produces goods
or services, and many also pay
dividends. With bonds, you get
a stream of interest payments, Vanguard statement, via NBC.
Commodities are real assets that meet
consumption needs, have inflation-
hedging properties, and can play
a role in certain portfolios, Vanguard statement, via NBC.
While crypto has been classified
as a commodity, it’s an immature
asset class that has little history,
no inherent economic value,
no cash flow, and can create
havoc within a portfolio, Vanguard statement, via NBC

6 Tips, for First-Time Investors.
1. Do not put all your
money into one company.
Just because Tesla leads the electric car market
right now, it does not mean it will be this way forever.
2. Avoid paying too much attention
to pundits on television.
Wells Fargo Adviser Scott Pedvis says a big
mistake is taking what others say "as gospel.".
3. Start as early as you can.
The earlier you begin, the more
time investments have to develop.
4. Enroll in a 401k plan
at your job, if possible.
A 401k is an excellent way to store money for when you eventually retire.
5. Do not be afraid
to ask for help.
A lot of investing can be done independently,
but not everything in your life can be do-it-yourself, Scott Pedvis, via 'USA Today'.
6. Put money into your investments on
a predetermined date each month.
It forces you to save,
and takes the emotion
out of investing, Scott Pedvis, via 'USA Today'
