Cramer's First Ten Minutes -- February 13, 2026

Locator: 49982CRAMER. 

January Consumer Price Index: y/y 2.4% vs 2.5% estimate. 

Investing: this is for the extended family only, not for general readership. This is not an investment site. This is the fastest way I can reach the extended family. I continue to deplete my personal portfolio and transfer it to grandchildren accounts. Today, I added significantly to WMT, AAPL, and AVGO in the account for two of the grandchildren. 

Investment horizon: I still maintain an investment horizon of 30 years plus one day. 

DraftKings: story of the day? Misses estimates. Guidance apparently not helpful. Hurt by prediction markets. Shares tank: DKNG down 13%. Completely unexpected. It's all about the prediction markets.
