Predicting things that have already happened

Options
Further to AG47's 2016 thread, in which he predicted that Deutsche Bank's share price would fall below 100 (at the time it was 13.37, and fell below 100 nine years previously) let's have a thread for predicting things that have already happened. Here's mine:

I predict Theresa May will lose her majority in the 2017 election.

A variation can be this: predictions of every possible outcome but later you only remember the one that was right. We see this regularly from Crashy and climate scientists. So here's mine:

Labour will win the next election / Labour will not win the next election.

Pile on. What's already happened that only your shrewd AG-esque insight can see coming?

    I kept predicting property prices would not crash dozens of times on hpc.com and was proven right 100's of times over the last two decades, yet they still snigger at property investors all these years later. I predicted that housing was safe and is safe and I suppose that has already been confirmed, sorry Bruce and all the other bedsit boys

    Ha!


    That is my personal favourite.



    He sat gloating at others in 2009, claiming he was sitting on a fortune in a secure public sector job while others suffered.



    That twit is still on here ranting and raving about how unfair life is!!!
