Shares in Ford Motor Company fell another 6% (down to $2.16, a drop of 13 cents) after billionaire investor Kerk Kerkorian sold the rest of his stock in the company. Kerkorian’s firm, Tracinda, announced Monday that they no longer were the owners of any Ford stock whatsoever; this comes just 20 months after Kerkorian bought over 100 million shares in the company last April, and despite the fact that Kerkorian was willing to help the ailing auto maker out by providing more capital for the company, to “aid Ford’s financial flexability.”

The news of the sell-off comes amidst reports that GMAC, the financial arm of General Motors, was close to securing a deal with bondholders that would restructure their debt, which is a move that is required to secure the unit’s new status as a bank holding company. However, the company has refused to discuss the state of the restructuring and the details therein, but GM stock fell another 7%, finally closing at $3.41.

It’s amazing that Ford was able to keep Kerkorian for as long as they did, and were fools when they didn’t follow the plan that Kerkorian setup to help the company out of its finanacial crisis. However, the blame cannot be laid on the automaker solely – oh, wait, yes it can. Ford has had a habit of building cars that the American people want to drive, and are then surprised when they don’t sell well. Here’s an idea: hire someone from Toyota, because they’re wailing on this ailing company.
