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.

You must be posting on 4 different DGT threads that I know of.
No wonder your knackered.
As I stated last week over the road, I see the bid at least .8 by the August results, partly because of results but partly besause I feel that a trading statement will be issued which will be very positive.
We should break a penny this year and this time it will be on fundamentals and not due to being ramped.dont forget no-one has even tipped this yet but mark my words come the Autumn they will be doing.
I stand to be proved wrong.

Deadfred Lol no words are needed, its all in the price.

And up we go again

I make us 12k above 50% of estimated 1.35m overhead less 33% operating profit for bonuses so far without counting any advisory fees for admission of Strontium, White Star and IAF - I have their quarterly retainers in, but nothing for initial advice on admission - any ideas what to allow anyone for each of these three?

After one month of the year, only another 23,500 retainer fees required to hit my H1 target of 387,500 and another 195k for advice and commission to hit 525,000. For H2, only another 131,500 to hit retainer target of 495,500. Over the weekend, I'll think about upping my targets for 2006.

Although nice rise on double average volume, it's still only 17 trades with nothing greater than 5,000 spent and one or two quick profit takers - so PI's rather than institutions, but then they'd swamp it with one trade - probably can't get near it without sending the price into the stratosphere.

35% rise in a week on one of my two main (3 X normal weight) holdings based on solid fundamental value results, not speculatiive flurry, is terrifiic. Now TR can report solid 2005 results with fantastic future prospects as well. Fascinated to know how 2005 turned out - was I close or as wildly out as I was for H1 2005.

Very happy with this week - sorted out my portfolio last Friday, kicking out the dogs (ouch!) and am up 17% across the board since Jan 1 (but don't ask me how I screwed up last year, although I didn't lose anything!)

Good luck everyone - it can only get better!

Hi all !

Good to see some of the strong silent posters back... along with the Dead ones !!!

Afternoon all,

Looks like patience is beginning to pay off for the longer term holders. Not sure why the SP should start to be rising like this, on what is relatively small volumes. I do get the feeling that something is going on behind the scenes (filling a large buy order?) or something of that ilk perhaps.

Buisness is looking good once again and assuming that they haven't gone mad on H2 bonuses DGT will report an operating profit for last year.

Anyway, whatever is going on, I'm happy to hold.
