News ReleaseShareholder to Return to Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting One Year After Arrest in Omaha
NLPC
As the annual meeting for Berkshire Hathaway Inc. on May 4 in Omaha approaches, National Legal and Policy Center Chairman Peter Flaherty plans a return to the same stage where last year, while presenting NLPC’s shareholder proposal, Warren Buffett cut off his speech and Flaherty was arrested. Trumped-up charges against Flaherty were later dropped. NLPC has another proposal on Berkshire’s 2024 proxy statement and Flaherty is scheduled to speak on the measure for his allotted five minutes. The nonprofit corporate watchdog released a short video that briefly recounts last year’s incident and points out Mr. Buffett’s contradictory positions on how he manages shareholder meetings. The video may be found on NLPC’s website: https://nlpc.org/corporate-integrity-project/video-nlpc-returns-to-berkshire-hathaway-annual-meeting-one-year-after-chairmans-arrest/ The video highlights a past statement Mr. Buffett made to CNBC. Responding to an interviewer’s question about Berkshire allowing investors who attend the popular annual meeting to ask any question they want, Mr. Buffett responded, “We’ve got a partnership feeling toward the people who have given us their money, and we don’t screen ‘em, and they can ask whatever’s on their mind.” However, last year Mr. Buffett made an exception to that principle when Peter Flaherty – during his official remarks presenting NLPC’s shareholder proposal, which was on the meeting agenda – brought up Mr. Buffett’s relationship with billionaire Bill Gates, their shared philanthropic efforts, and Mr. Gates’s troubling relationship with deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. At that point, Flaherty’s microphone was silenced, and security and Omaha law enforcement forcibly walked him out of the arena and to a local police precinct, where he was arrested, booked, fingerprinted and held for about three hours. As NLPC argued last year in a report to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Berkshire’s identity is inextricably linked with Mr. Buffett’s. As such, his philanthropic activities and personal associations are fair targets for criticism, unlike those of nearly any other corporate Chairman/CEO. NLPC also filed a complaint with the SEC late last year over Berkshire’s inappropriate treatment of Flaherty at the meeting. “Warren Buffett boasts that shareholders can ask questions on any topic they desire, but I guess that doesn’t include questions about Bill Gates or Jeffrey Epstein,” Flaherty said. This year’s shareholder proposal addresses concerns about Berkshire’s risk vulnerabilities over the amount its sales and supply chain depend on China. Subsidiaries such as Duracell and Fruit of the Loom, and significant investments such as Apple and Coca-Cola, substantially depend on access to the communist nation. NLPC also filed a proxy memo with the SEC in support of this year’s proposal. The video released by NLPC concludes by wondering if Mr. Buffett will keep his word, and let all Berkshire investors say “whatever is on their mind.” For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

News ReleaseAnalyst Gives Insights on Fantom and Injective, 5 Reasons Why KANG Is at the Top
Kangamoon
Top market analyst Crypto Tony gave a sensational insight into the direction of Fantom (FTM) and Injective (INJ), exploring their potential to turn green soon. In this article, we analyzed Tony's exciting insight, drawing investors to the potential of these tokens. In the meantime, KangaMoon (KANG) has emerged as one of the top meme coins to invest in amidst the changing market dynamics. More details below. Crypto Tony Believes $19 Is a Good Entry Point For Injective For investors who may be looking for Injective to dip further before jumping in, popular crypto analyst Crypto Tony believes the token good entry point could be anywhere above the $19 mark. Tony remarked on his X post, detailing the key insights that can trigger Injective momentum. Tony noticed that the Injective token has built a base above the $19 threshold, which means the token is unlikely to dip further than that before it starts to pick up again. He advised holders not to rush to change their position and believed that the token could challenge the $30 threshold before the end of the month. Analyst Pegs Fantom (FTM) Entry Barrier at $0.65 Earlier in the month, Crypto Tony also provided a powerful insight for investors looking at Fantom token (FTM). Although the token price has dropped by 20% in the past week to stand at $0.7, Tony believes the token could dip further, providing an opportunity for investors to come in. However, Tony advised investors to be careful as a good entry point for Fantom is $0.65. He believed that the token can't get lower than this before it shoots up again in the bull market, where it is expected to rise to $5. Investors Accumulate KangaMoon (KANG), Analysts Provide Reasons While Crypto Tony has provided insightful analysis on the Fantom and Injective momentum, KangaMoon is enjoying massive attention in the meme coin market. The project has already raised over $5M in presale, registered more than 20k participants, and currently has more than 6k holders, justifying its wide acceptance across the meme coin market. Analysts observed KangaMoon's trajectory and concluded that investors are purchasing the token for 5 reasons. One is KangaMoon utility which incorporates GameFI and SocialFi functionalities. Two, the KangaMoon rewards system where gamers earn through intense competition also gives spectators a way to earn through betting and predictions. KangaMoon ROI is the third reason investors are accumulating the token. The KANG token has returned a 290% ROI for early adopters, with the price value moving from $0.005 to $0.0196. Investors are also moved by KangaMoon's potential, with its ability to become one of the best new meme coins to tap into the $200B NFT market, which looks promising. Lastly, investors' interest in KangaMoon also stemmed from its expected price jump soon. The token will be on major exchanges in the second quarter of 2024 and analysts project that the price may skyrocket to $0.5 by then. For these reasons, analysts also project KangaMoon to raise $7M in presale before its listing, making it one of the top meme coins to invest in now.

News ReleaseComcast Completes Major Fiber Network Expansion in Spring Hill, Kansas
Comcast Greater Kansas City
Comcast announced today the completed expansion of its next-generation Xfinity network to homes and businesses in the City of Spring Hill. The media and technology company invested more than $13 million to install more than 90 miles of new fiber-rich highways that will offer residential broadband speeds faster than 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) and business speeds up to 100 Gbps. The completion is part of Comcast’s ongoing expansion in the Midwest where Comcast is also expanding into Paola/Hillsdale. “The Kelly-Toland Administration recognizes that building reliable broadband services is essential for healthy communities throughout the state,” Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. “With the completion of this project, the Spring Hill community now has the resources needed to stay connected and engaged – and help drive economic development.” "The City of Spring Hill joins Comcast in celebrating the completion of this investment in our community. It will support workforce development, education and greater access to high-speed internet for our residents. This was a big priority of this administration from the start, and I’m glad to see it through to becoming a reality. It also improves our internet infrastructure in a way that is attractive to businesses interested in growing here," said Mayor Joe Berkey, City of Spring Hill. “I am grateful for Comcast’s commitment to expanding broadband access to Spring Hill and also their continued commitment to sponsoring other Spring Hill community events throughout the year.” To celebrate the expansion of Xfinity services to the City of Spring Hill, Comcast will donate $5,000 to the Spring Hill Education Foundation and will host an ‘Xfinity On Tour’ event during the Spring Hill Recreation Center Daffodil Days on April 20 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. CST at the Spring Hill Learning Academy at 300 E. Street. This free, family-oriented community event provides residents the opportunity to learn more about Comcast services, answer questions, and take advantage of exclusive offers. You can also stop into the nearest Xfinity store to learn more. For Spring Hill residents, this expansion means access to all Xfinity Internet service offerings with speeds faster than 1 Gig and advanced WiFi technology from powerful gateways capable of delivering reliable and consistent connections for real-time activities like gaming, live streaming, and video conferencing with ultra-low lag. Residents will also have access to the Xfinity X1 video platform, Xfinity Home, Comcast’s professionally installed home security solution, and Xfinity Mobile, one of the nation’s fastest growing mobile services that can save customers hundreds of dollars a year on their mobile bills, and is top ranked in customer satisfaction. “Reliable high-speed internet is essential in today’s digital economy, which is why Comcast continues its commitment to connect more Johnson County region families and businesses to the moments that matter most,” said Kalyn Hove, Comcast Midwest Regional Senior Vice President. “By establishing the best broadband infrastructure today, we are securing the economic prosperity of these communities for tomorrow.” For local businesses, Comcast Business offers a suite of connectivity, cybersecurity, managed solutions and Comcast Business Mobile products designed specifically for their employee’s needs. Powered by the nation’s largest Gig-speed broadband network, and backed by 24/7 customer support, Comcast Business is the nation’s largest cable and Internet provider to small and mid-size businesses and one of the leading providers to larger organizations in the Enterprise market. Comcast Business has been consistently recognized by industry analysts and associations as a leader and innovator, and one of the fastest growing providers of Ethernet services. “We purchased The Bean in Spring Hill nearly three years ago. The most difficult part of doing business was little to no access to internet and proper speeds needed to run our business,” stated Brad Killen, CEO of The Bean. “When I spoke with Comcast Business it was a quick YES to help us. Before switching to Comcast, our WiFi went out every other day and we were running on the slowest speeds. We are now finally getting normal speeds and could not be happier with the service. Everyday dozens of people work, take meetings, or calls at The Bean and this upgrade keeps people coming back for more.” Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA) is a global media and technology company.

News ReleaseHong Kong Approves Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) ETFs While New Token Surges 290%
Kangamoon
Hong Kong recently approved spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) exchange traded funds (ETFs) applications. Specifically, the region has become the second to do this in 2024 so far, following the SEC’s decision to approve 11 spot BTC ETFs in the United States. While all of this is happening, the KangaMoon ( KANG ) presale has seen major upwards momentum and could soon reach far more substantial gains, fueled by its unique Social-Fi model and community-driven approach. By the end, we will see which one is the best crypto to invest in now. Bitcoin (BTC) Grows 117.4% YTD – Price to Reach $96,062 by Q4 Bitcoin (BTC) has seen a year-to-date (YTD) climb of 117.4%. In addition, during the past week, the price of Bitcoin has moved up from $62,697.49 to a maximum value at $72,199.54. ThE Bitcoin price USD has since found support at the $66,000 level, and needs to break above $73,737.94 in order to reach a new all-time high point. As a result, sentiment on the future of the BTC crypto is currently massive, and many are speculating that it can reach far more substantial gains in 2024. According to the Bitcoin price prediction, it can end 2024 at $96,062. Ethereum (ETH) Spikes 54% YTD – Is Further Growth Possible? Ethereum (ETH) has also showcased dominant on-chart performance during the past year and has the potential to reach new heights. The Ethereum price USD has seen an increase of 54% year-to-date (YTD), and is now heading further upwards. During the past week, the price of Ethereum has surged from $2,936 to $3,715, and could soon break even above the $4,000 price barrier. According to the RSI and MACD data, its price outlook is bullish, and based on the Ethereum price prediction, it can end 2024 at $4,428. KangaMoon (KANG) Introduces Social-Fi, P2E and a Community-Driven Approach KangaMoon (KANG) has seen an increased upwards momentum fueled by the optimistic outlook for its ecosystem and the overall unique and rich feature-set. Specifically, on top of this project, anyone will be able to access Social-Fi features, a community-driven approach and Play-to-Earn (P2E) mechanics. The KangaMoon platform has stood out by enabling anyone to take control of their own KangaMoon character through which they can, later-on, make upgrades and compete in tournaments and other battles. By doing so, they earn NFTs and NFTs. There are over 20,000 registered accounts even during the blockchain ICO, and over 5,800 users now hold the KANG token. In addition, the crypto has risen by 90%, where it moved from $0.005 to $0.0196. It raised $4.9 million and could break above $5.5 million raised by the end of the week. According to projections by analysts, the KANG token can rise by 100x following the project’s official launch, positioning KANG as the best new crypto to invest in. Summary Following the approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs from Hong Kong, it's clear that both cryptocurrencies now have even further growth potential. In the meantime, many have begun to diversify their holdings with the KangaMoon cryptocurrency, as it could soon provide them with significant ROI, making it the best new crypto to invest in.
