Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research? And before we open Rift pre-orders to the world, we wanted to share one more special update with you, our Kickstarter community.

Oculus founder Palmer Luckey will field questions during a Reddit AMA set to begin at 6:00 pm on Wednesday (0200 GMT Thursday).
