Dowgate Capital (DGT) are sitting in the middle of a goldmine! This company through their sole trading arm City Financial Associates are looking to take full advantage of the "booming" AIM market this year. Dowgate provide NOMAD (NOMinated ADvisor) services to AIM companies and also have full Corporate Broker status which means that they can fund placements on behalf of the companies they represent.

Website: www.cityfin.co.uk

On first sight, the fact that Dowgate exist in the often veiled financial services sector makes you think twice about investing in company such as this because it would be impossible to understand what they were doing - however, think again! DGT bring new companies to the AIM (Alternative Investment Market). For each new company "floated" on AIM, they take arrangement fees when acting as NOMAD. After the company is launched then for a nice steady earner DGT get another healthy chunk of cash every year for looking after them (note that all AIM companies must have a nominated adviser - thereby securing a ready source of recurring income). Because DGT also act as a Corporate broker they can get a very healthy percentage for arranging placement of shares with insititutions before a new company floats. In addition, because placements come outside the sphere of yearly NOMAD work, they can also gain healthy percentages of placements which companies may need to make throughout the year when they need a quick injection of cash to speed growth. Current NOMADships: 28 companies represented (gives recurring income of approx 480,000 per year) Current on-going Brokerage agreements: 19 companies (income depends on placements) For flotations, depending on the size of a company, fees charged will be anything from 50,000 to 100,000+ For placements (the real earner), DGT get anything from 3% to around 12% of the TOTAL AMOUNT RAISED - For example a new company raising 3M though a placement will earn DGT anything from 90,000 to 360,000 ! These figures are indicative as actual deals all differ due to circumstances and DGT sometimes take payment in shares - they still have a tasty chunk of Setstone shares and when this Russian exploration company comes back to AIM, predictions are that the share price will rocket. Note that the amount that this little company can earn in fees is huge and every new deal that comes through we know will contribute another healthy chunk into the bottom line. The good news with every new floatation means that it's another chunk of recurring revenue which could go on for years, with DGT having to do very little. New clients gained in 2005 are: Mediazest (NOMAD & broker) Elite Strategies (NOMAD) Process Handling (NOMAD) Poland Investment Fund (NOMAD) Nanotech Energy (NOMAD & broker) Archimedia Ventures (NOMAD & broker) Red Leopard Holdings (NOMAD) Alba Mineral Resources (NOMAD & broker) Intandem Films (NOMAD & broker) Motive Television (NOMAD) IncaGold (NOMAD) Sportswinbet (NOMAD & Broker) Infoscreen Networks (NOMAD & Broker) Mark Kingsley (NOMAD & Broker) Croatia Ventures (NOMAD & Broker) Pantheon Leisure (NOMAD) Firenze Ventures (Ofex Advisor) FlightStore Group (NOMAD & Broker) Euro Capital Projects (NOMAD) Pearl Street Holdings (NOMAD) Worldwide Natural Resources (Ofex Advisor) Dovedale Ventures (Ofex Advisor) Other 2005 work completed:Neptune-Calculus VCT offer for subs of up to 12 million Advisory work for TGM on London Bus disposal for 20.4M Advisory work for Creightons on property disposal Advisory work for Hampton Trust on company restructuring Advisory work for Interbulk Investments on acquisition of Inbulk Advisory work for Fundamental-e Investments on two disposals Advisory work for Designer Vision re: Design Rights against Centurion Electronics Click Here for fundamentals and profit projections.

Dowgate Capital Plc ('Dowgate' or the 'Company')

Holding in Company

Pursuant to section 198 of the Companies Act 1985 the Company has today
received notification that Restructuring Investors Limited has a beneficial
interest in 25,000,000 ordinary shares in Dowgate, representing approximately
4.0% of the Dowgate's issued share capital.

Is this the reason why price has been stagnant for 2 weeks?? and will it now start rising. I take it that RI have pre-agreed price with MMs ??? and probably looking to increase holding ??

pth,
when I logged on, I didn`t see your post on the thread ?? apologies

snakey

no probs.

Your summation in my opinion is 100% correct. RIL are building a stake and will continue to do so. The MMs will have received the buy order and will do their very best to ensure it is filled at an advantageous price to themselves. Usual tricks of disguising buys as sells, encouraging the less informed holders to panic sell, thus providing the MMs with cheap stock. However, there will come a point (soon methinks) when if RIL continue to buy, they will have to pay ever increasing premiums for that stock. As I stated when their interest first became known, watch the SP rise (if they continue to buy).

Funny old thing, expected an increase in the SP due to the build up to and the Interims, but it's possible we will see a marked increase from a completely unexpected quarter!

Buys outnumbering sells today by > 20:3... Something is definitely happening behind the scenes...

markus

I think it's about confidence here.
Our instt now have 25mil and so does TR. I believe TR buying is in direct response to another poster's e-mail that he sent him.
All very positive at the mo.

Ted1, "Our institution..."? "Another poster's e-mail..."? Prey, tell us more, sir...?

Markus,
Restructuring Investments and Mr Rawlinson have both increased their stakes this week to 25 million shares apiece ( 8% of equity total )
things should start to move again over next few weeks methinks !!

Thanks snakey I said that without even typing it.

Snakey, Ted.

Hope you're both right. Agree that it is always an encouraging sign when the powers-that-be put their money where their mouth is! :o) :o)

ewr its was just a question no need to panic???????

mind you id be a bit worried

how long u had this high flying share now??????????????

the old adj once bitten twice not bloody likely is my limited investing stratagey but i see your is not

life as a ghost i feel

mind you it will fly next week or week after that or maybe the one after that

maybe you clever ppl can let the newbies into your deepest thoughts on when this will or about or maybe about to fly

so many false dawns im left in the shade reading you clever ppl's post's of eternal optomism

just an opinion mind

"limited investment strategy" - you said it, df, lol!

pleased tp see the break back up through the 0.50p June support/resistance

fred

oh so bitter, what a shame when you used to be such a supporter. You missed out on the last rise from 0.40p to 0.85p and you are going to miss out on the next one. So who's clever? Perhaps not you, may I suggest?

df Once dead, always dead! Trouble is, I came in after you went nout; perhpas the two were connected. Well, I had a few but came in properly at Xmas and sitting in pleasant positive country. Pleasant people to talk with but just the odd spectre from the past.

More buying voume yesterday bears out, probably, that RIL are continuing to build stake. Nice touch from TR; not rich yet so thus building up stake slowly. We should do the same, I reckon.

Eric

Curious as to why TR bought just 1M shares, a very small quantity in the grand scheme of friends. Perhaps relevant is the manner in which DGT's new investment 'partner' aggressively targets the management of underperforming companies. Were I in TR's shoes, I would possibly not be too happy with this development and may consider RIL a threat to his current position, bit extreme I know. As evidenced this week, RIL will probably continue to build their stake, are we likely to see TR do the same as a safegaurd to what he will consider his domain? Was that 1M top up a signal to RIL? Be nice to see the two of them battling it out. Interesting times ahead if they do, as the effect on the SP will be significant. Once the rampers realise what may be going on we might have another HHO on our hands, albeit on a smaller scale.

All speculation of course and as always DYOR etc etc

pth

pt lost on these but as ive said did not hang around to see if this flyer was going to flyyyyyyyy
i decided to do what im pritty good at

buy low sell high

like bio fuels
hbos
sym just before the announcement of the court case decision
spw had for ages
cumbrian minning(who own a part of asia energy,ever heared of them)
and a few others


had a few falls as well but dont we all

but lets just say ive made what ive lost and then some

so as you say pt your the clever person in this thread and will be for a longtime i think

and as for bitterness i like to look at things like this everyone of us are on a learning curve some learn some dont

old adj fools and there money are easily parted comes to mind

i also would like this share to fly
because if it did it would make me feel like i was right when i bought it in first place and would also make me wonder what if everyone had kept there shares???????

all of this is just an opinion mind

fred

'Fraid I'm not the clever prson on this thread. Although I have made some profit with DGT. nowhere near as much as I could have made, so that doesn't make me particularly clever! Pleased you have made back your losses on DGT and you never know, we might see this fly. Personally I think we will and your decision to invest will eventually be justified. Time will tell.

pth

pth: Think you have it wrong with df: not a current holder and just likes to haunt threads where he once had a life.

Interested in your comment about TR's relatively small investment. It may be that he just wanted to invest, is not yet a rich man, and invested what he could. He may also have picked up our viRILity test and understands that 1M shares is OK! I doubt whether he would be concerned about the acquisition by VIL, rather the reverse as they will be in a position to introduce business. I do see it as very positive.
