After 42 years in the United Kingdom, a Ghanaian man named Nelson Shardey, would have to wait another decade for the Home Office to grant him permanent residency.

The 74-year-old retired newsagent, from Wallasey in Wirral, had for many years assumed he was officially seen as British, but he was told he was not British in 2019 when he applied for a passport so he could go back to Ghana following the d£ath of his mother.

According to BBC, Mr Shardey first came to the UK in 1977 to study accountancy, on a student visa that also allowed him to work.

He married a British woman and moved to Wallasey to run his own business, a newsagent called Nelson’s News. When that marriage ended, he married another British woman and they had two sons Jacob and Aaron.

“Nobody questioned me. I bought all my things on credit, even the house. I got a mortgage. And nobody questioned me about anything,” he said.

Mr Shardey has performed jury service, and in 2007 was given a police award for bravery after tackling a robber who was att@cking a delivery man with a baseball bat…(continue reading on next slide.)

Chubb (CB) shares climbed more than 8% in late trading Wednesday evening after a regulatory filing revealed that Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B) has taken a sizeable stake in the Zurich-based insurer.

According to the filing, Berkshire’s stake of nearly 26 million shares in Chubb, one of the world’s largest publicly traded property-casualty insurers, had a market value of around $6.7 billion as of March 31, making it the conglomerate’s nineth largest holding.

Berkshire, which also holds GEICO and National Indemnity, among other insurers, has a heavy footprint in the insurance industry, with Buffett recently telling shareholders that "property-casualty insurance (“P/C”) provides the core of Berkshire’s well-being and growth.”

Insurance businesses fit the legendary investor’s “buy and hold” philosophy because they provide a steady source of capital that can be deployed into long-term investments.

Although Berkshire had been building its position in Chubb since 2023, it had not previously disclosed the stake after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) granted the conglomerate's request to keep the holding confidential. Institutional investors may want to withhold disclosing a position to avoid revealing ongoing patterns of buying and selling.

Since bottoming out in June last year, the Chubb share price has continued to track higher, with the trend gathering momentum after the 50-day moving average (MA) crossed above the 200-day MA to form a bullish golden cross signal. More recently, the stock has traded within as ascending triangle, a chart pattern indicating a continuation of the longer-term uptrend. 

Given the stock sits poised to climb to a record high following the Berkshire news, investors can use a measured move to forecast where the stock may be headed next. To do this, measure the distance of the start of the triangle in dollars, about $24, and add that amount to the pattern’s top trendline near $260. This implies a potential move to around $284. .
