Actually, this is a rather common phenomenon, not just with Apple either.  I
have noticed Commmodore stock dropping on several occasions after a product
announcement.  And not just for the PLUS/4; as I recall, the stock dropped
immediately after the C128 and the A3000 introductions, and I wouldn't be
surprised if this was pretty standard.  Maybe some who really understands the
stock market knows why (of course, if you really understand the stock market,
you're probably too rich to hang out here...).
