Will the Facebook IPO tomorrow lift the market?

The HK and Japan stock indices are both down over 2% now.

Maybe the anticipation of the IPO doesn't affect Asia. The anticipation of the IPO haven't affected US and Euro today markets either. Who knows if the stock market will say phuck the news out of europe lets focus on FB today. It's happened before. That run up of Apple recently affected the stock market a few days too. I remember following the market a few days a few months ago where the news out of US economy was worsening by the day and same thing out of Europe yet the market was trading up because Apple was driving the markets up. So yea facebook ipo craziness tomorrow may drive the markets to ignore Greece and eurozone issues and debt problems. If it does or doesn't it won't make a difference really unless you're a day trader or something.

Don't worry about those, more concerning is U.S. markets have been steadily dropping for a week now. If the market is going to go up anyway, it will add to it considerably, otherwise, there will be little or no impact.
