Good morning. Big tech names have gotten into the hot seat with state and federal regulators, largely thanks to a high-profile data breach at Facebook. In hearings last year, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified before the U.S. Senate, and made a repeat trip to Capitol Hill last week.

At the same time he was trying to win some much-needed friends in Congress, Facebook quietly agreed to buy CRTL-Labs, a tech startup working on software to let people control computers only using their minds. How this acquisition will help win over regulators and avoid a breakup of the tech giant remains to be seen.

Quote of the Day
People have definitely bought into the bearish macro view…When you look at the pattern over the past four or five years, it is definitely quite an important inflection point. They haven't gone maximum defensive…People are thinking the cavalry is going to come quickly to create stimulus to provide that turnaround.
