9 December 2008 Manitowoc (MTW:NYSE) $8.80 + 1.35 on 6,041,978 shares. This is a company in the Bargain Bin. In October the company concluded the takeover of Enodis PLC for $2.7 billion and at the current price of $8.80 the market cap of the entire company is $1 billion. I would not be surprised to see someone bid for this company especially the companies who bid for Enodis PLC. The stock is down from $50.The January $5.00 Calls (MTWAS) are $3.80-4.00 up from $3.35-3.50 on 12-05-08 and the March $5.00 Calls (MTWCS) are $4.10-4.40 up from $3.90-4.20.
