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.

agree with you there. I think ofex is going to be the a focus of further expansion for DGT.

dont know a lot about charts but very tight grouping now on all of the indicators, this can only be a good thing surely, previously on other stocks tight bollinger bands tend to indicate a movement in some direction.
Any Chartists care to help me out here

Always difficult to tell with small caps as the spread often distorts the true picture, particularly true in the case of DGT where we see anything from 4 - 15%. Often an an increase / decrease in the daily SP is just a reflection of the spread. However, I am reasonably comfortable with the TA, but would like to see the 25MA turn upwards, which would then reflect a positive MACD. All seems a bit flat at the moment. Still think that RIL will continue to build their stake and will be very surprised if they don't have to start paying an increased premium for that stock, which 'should' provide the required impetus. Surely, they have swept up all the cheap stock now? Mind you there seem to be an awful lot of investors out there who appear ignorant of RIL and what impact their buying would have on the SP if they were to just hang on and stop making it easy for them!!

No connection bt AV and Griffin.

Nanotech Energy Plc ('Nano' or the 'Company')

Temporary suspension

The Board of the Company announces that Adam Rodney Collins and Robert William
Long (the 'New Directors') have today been appointed directors of the Company.

Adam Rodney Collins, Executive Director

Mr Collins has held a number of senior positions in corporate finance and
private industry and has extensive experience in financial structuring, capital
raising and regulatory compliance. Mr Collins is currently a director of Impact
Funding UK Limited.

Robert William Long, Executive Director

Mr Long is currently the Operations Director and Chairman of Veras Plc, and
Veras Funding Solutions Limited. Veras is an OFT licensed credit and FSA
authorised insurance broker specialising in the provision of litigation funding
and insurance solutions to the legal profession.

Stephen Dean, Vincent Nicholls and Jim McColl (the existing board of directors)
have today resigned as directors of the Company.

The New Directors have identified an opportunity for the Company in the
financial services sector. The opportunity involves the acquisition of a
company that is involved in the funding of personal loans arising from legal
litigation disbursement funding, matrimonial disputes, and deceased estates.

The contemplated transaction and the proposed change of investing strategy will
constitute a 'Reverse Transaction' under the AIM Rules therefore the New Board
has requested that the shares of the Company are suspended from trading on AIM
until such time a readmission document is posted to shareholders and
shareholder approval given in relation to the proposed transaction.

Under the terms of the Corporate Service Agreement between the Company and
Griffin Corporate Finance Limited, Griffin Corporate Finance Limited has agreed
to provide various corporate finance services to Nano, including directors
services, general management services and the introduction of corporate finance
opportunities. Griffin Corporate Finance Limited introduced the New Directors
to Nano. In consideration for this service Robert Long has agreed to pay
Griffin Corporate Limited a fee of 150,000. There is no resulting cost to Nano
as a result of this payment.

Griffin Corporate Finance Limited under the AIM Rules is an 'associate' of
Stephen Dean and Vincent Nicholls, both directors of the Company, and therefore
the payment made to Griffin Corporate Finance Limited under the AIM Rules is
deemed to be a 'related party' transaction pursuant to the AIM Rules.
Accordingly, the terms of the payment have been reviewed by Jim McColl, an
independent director of the Company, who after consultation with the Company's
Nominated Adviser (City Financial Associates Limited) believes the terms of the
payment to be fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company
are concerned.

Save as disclosed below, there are no further details required to be disclosed
pursuant to schedule 2(g) of the AIM rules.

I'll bet this little share is feeling very unloved on this website, right before Christmas and all.

Stockdog, is there any chance you had a look at those figures? Sorry to ask, mate, but I'm a wordsmith and not a mathematician.

Paulo2 - sorry, 14 hours a day at the day job currently is enough fun - so my portfolio lies rather neglected - now officially all classed as long term holdings, so I don't feel guilty about not following them every day!

May have a look over the tholiday period - roll on December 22nd!

sd

well this board has certainly died, not a post for 8 days.

has everyone gone on a long Xmas break early?

at present you can,
buy 1M @ 0.44p
sell 37.5k @ 0.4p

I see there are another 1M of sells today so AV can buy yet another 1M dirt cheap if they still want them.

ppl have looked at other ppl opinions and decided

sym are a better offer

imho of course

What the heck is going on with DGT?

MM'S fucking around.
Merry bloody xmas

interesting insight....thanks Ted. merry xmas

Sorry dude but this share really
fustrates me.

same goes matie, we are not alone check out the advfn feed!

FWIW,
I spoke to DGT today and they confirmed that they were still very busy and that nothing had changed since their previous interims 'summary/outlook' otherwise they would be obliged to issue a trading statement, therefore no trading statement was planned.

Regarding the share price, they said that was purely down to manipulation by the mm's and that they, (DGT) had no control over that.

My opinion is that peeps need funds for xmas and the mm's are using that to their advantage by accumulating cheap shares, hence the low bid.

This is TR'S summary from the recent interims.......

"Whilst the business is small, it is stable with retainer income covering a good
proportion of fixed costs, a healthy book of work in progress and a strong
balance sheet.

My objective for the second half is to consolidate our position as an
increasingly active adviser to AIM quoted companies and to return a good net
result for shareholders for the year as a whole"

ted get prepered for more frustration m8

mined u

if u look at me old posts u might understand why

just an opinion mind

but i lost big time on these did not wait around to get kicked twice now iv found a little cracker called sym check it out

still like looking in on this one just for the ramping its psychologically fasinating how ppl want to be hurt

amazzzzzing

lol

live long and prosper but maybe not on this one

and merry crimbo to all the old and de-ranged cfa supporters

just goes to show u you can change the spots but not the animal

I remember Dead. Been here for over 2 years now,
how long term is long term.

Quotes from deadfred..... "i lost big time on these"...... "its psychologically fasinating how ppl want to be hurt"
--------------------------------------------------------------------


EXACTLY deadfred, It IS fascinating to see you constantly "hurting" yourself by returning here because due to your impatience you lost "big time"

BTW, When you refer to ramping, pot...kettle comes to mind! (sym?)

roflmao

this is just an opinion

butane old cfa supporter

see ur still full of s upport for cfa opps dgt soz name change

well butane old chap im not one to hang about but as the post indicates prior to urs i had these shares for some time under a better name i might add

yes u are right i did lose out on these big time but not for your reason

for reasons that were out of the share holders hands in my opinion

i seem to remember the md at the time selling his shares around the same time an old employee sold his remember(which in my honest opinion had a slight effect on share price)

or maybe you have forgotten

that would explain the attack mode u always put forward when answering my posts imho(maybe the obvious hurts to much)

and on the contary im not hurting myself when i come and look at this share i come for morbid amusement

as ive said before if this little number flys(big big if as the market has been flying without it so far imho) it will prove to me that i did not buy a turkey and can feel suitable smug for my first decission

but if as my opinion leads me this share will still be around this number for a while im glad to let you and your fellow supporters deluide themselves while i go and make money

as i said the ramping on hear is of the finest quality seen in christian world imho

but enough of this bantor i need to haste off as my indicators are telling me there are bargains to be had allas not here

just an opinion mind

oh butane old m8 i have a crimbo message for u to be sung as if you are in the grounds of a football team

sym sym sym
sym sym sym

bio-degadable plastics are its gameeeem

sym sym sym
sym sym

its on a flyer

sym

ok after three

now that might be wrongly construde as ramping but it is with style

roflmao

merry crimbo butane

im not one to hang about
Lol
Deadfred. the stench of you still hanging on to this thread is overpowering.
You lost thousands and more again when they flew again this year, just as they will next year.
This share frustrates all holders, one of which you have not been for a full year now and yet you still cant let go can you.
As you lay dying your old CFP certificates will have to ripped from your clenched knarled hand.
Merry christmas anyhow you old lOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOser.
LOL
