Is economy actually getting better now? Stock index seems going pretty strong for the last 2 months. My portfolio starts turning green now. In fact i have been making some short term gain particularly from bank and casino stocks. Even tech stock like Marvell holds up to 11 dollar now. Considering our last ESPP purchase was locked at under $5, we are looking at 100% return, w00t!

With all these seemingly promising economy future, rumor has it that Marvell will have another round of layoff announced this coming Monday. What if I am getting hit this time? I had an job offer by a start-up company named Link-A-Media Devices before I joined Marvell. Their website as of today doesn't look like the company is doing great. Wondering if I had joined them, in view of current situation, what will happen to me right now.

Swine flu scare. NY has the most cases followed by south Cal. I guess it's pretty much under controlled now. It better be since I will be making a trip down to LA and San Diego soon. We really can't afford to have a massive health threat on top of the current mess.
