LOSERS

Caravan operator Apollo Tourism and Leisure (ASX:ATL) fell after half yearly results.

National Tyre and Wheel (ASX:NTD) also dropped significantly in price Tuesday with the announcement that US company Goodyear Tire and Rubber is to buy Cooper Tire and Rubber which a NTD subsidiary currently distributes.
