married deal of 33cts for 3mil is executed.Very soon will push beyond rights price of 32cts right on target.The recent $100mil loan by US fund is without payment of interest on the part of Oculus..that speaks well of the faith and confidence of the Oculus's potential and future room for growth.Besides Oculus still has option to ask for > loans on same terms from the same source..Hydroelectric power is a renewable source of energy and pollution free.Strong buy..short at your own risk but shortist is likely to lose$$

Finally cross 32cts and remain above that at 33cts.....if can stay at thsi level will head above 40cts soon...so far seen so often drop to 25 to 30cts and then moved up again...
Oculus is now a totally revamped biz ..no > contact lenses buy into energy play-Hydro electricty,Waste recycling and oil storage facilities..limited downside..25 to 33 trading currently..gd to catch at a 26cts and sell off at 32cts..hve been doing this for many rounds
