Tower International Inc. (TOWR)Tower International is crumbling today, down 13.65% at $19.86. The auto part maker released great earnings which beat expectations, however it is trading lower on news that one of the largest holder of the stock will start to take profits. Cerberus Capital Management bought Tower out of bankruptcy in 2007 for $1 billion. Cerberus announced that it is now ready to cash out around half of its 61% stake in Tower. The large sell is worrying investors as it is possible that the selloff could greatly affect share price. Tower has done well so far this year and shares are trading well above their 52-week low of $6.00.
