Last Year's Predictions

Ok, let's see how the magic ball did.

Will it snow next Christmas?

Where I live, it did not snow. The ball was correct, one point.

Will I win the £1m prize from the Premium Bonds?

Premium bonds are savings with no interest, but a chance to win a million. I was excited to hear the ball's prediction, but no - I did not win.

Will my portfolio experience a bull market ( >10% returns)

Well done ball. My portfolio was up 13%.

Will the UK have a general election?

No election in 2023.

Will gas prices fall below 100 GBp/Thm

Although prices are still expensive for consumers, the GBp/Thm reduced to 85, so the ball was correct.

Score: 3/5
