Cramer is off today and wow, what a boring show when he's not on. Mike Santoli is really, really good but doesn't add much with the other two -- three clones. Cramer really plays off the other two nicely. So, done with that show at 8:21 and off the net and the business shows until late this afternoon. Good luck to everyone.

Last week at monthly Schwab luncheon: discussing bonds and difference between 3.4% and 3.3%. And that topic is held in rotation every four months. And how bonds should be a part of one's portfolio.

AI: making investing so much more interesting. Today, the META/Indiana headline. I can go directly to AI, ask the questions that I need answered. Much more efficient than reading AP stories. Reuters stories always have a paywall. Paywalls no longer matter. 

Apple: unexpected surge in iPhone 17 sales in China. Nice. Link here. AAPL paid its dividend today. 

META: Indiana.

WTI: $64.33. Not doing anything until at least after the second a/c carrier gets there. Meeting between Netanyahu and Trump should be pretty much over; sort of like FDR and Churchill, I suppose. 

New wells reporting:

• Thursday, February 12, 2026: 19 for the month, 72 for the quarter, 72 for the year,

RBN Energy: efforts to plug orphaned oil and gas wells can help cut methane emissions too. Absolutely no interest.
