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.

Good Old New Street, had plenty of fun there in the past.

Somewhere neutral will do. Picadilly in Manchester. Just down the road from me.

Time and date?

you had fun, i cant image that!!! me too with my friends from the bcfc. looking for a m/way station mid way stoke area. in the week best for you or next weekend.

Any chance you two might take your disagreement off thread? Whilst not taking sides or casting judgement either way MAM is not the place to arrange 'pistols at dawn' and detracts from the DGT discussion. I am sure if Paulo activates his email facility you can sort out the arangements in private.

Back to the subject of DGT, from 'The Business' newspaper:

AIM Investor: buy Dowgate at 0.725p

The piece is written by Luke Heron and due to copyright infringement I don't think I can post the whole article, however, a few snipets:

"Decmeber results illustrated superb prospects going forward
Price to earnings multiple of just 7.5
Shares trade on an enterprise value to earnings multiple of just over 5.6
There are no two ways about it this stock is cheap
Interim results are out in August and should confirm that the company is on course to deliver pre-tax profits of 820,000 on revenues of 3.28 million"

The article finishes with "Dowgate is a stock to buy."

It confirms what we have been saying for a long time, that DGT SP is very undervalued, guess we are going to see some activity next week.

pth

Kivver, the bcfc? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! You really are having a laugh. Yeah, that stands for Birmingham City Football Club. Well done, you nonce.

The last time you saw the inside of a gym was when you were him!



You really are punching above your weight. Tuck your beer gut back in your pants and grow old gracefully. Should have realised after the christmas party thing. Who the would wanna wait that long for a sorter?!

Back to DGT. Check out C4 teletext P509. Could be a good week.

Mes Amities !! ,,,,,, l am only here attracted by my favourite indicators - { 1 } volume,!! { ii }momentum and { iii } volatility coupled with divergence and MACD { simply the relationship between 2 exponential moving averages easily calculated by applying a % of todays closing price into the previous days trading average value which is typically worked out by subtracting the 26 day EM from the 12 day EMA and over that a 9 day Moving daily average of the MACD is plotted thearby giving you what is known asthe signal line which is a very usefool tool in giving you the basic trend -Theory has it that should the MACD falls below the signal lthe stock is overbought and should be sold !or vice versa ! ... Basically it is the TREND and usualy it is eeringly correct and suggests in this case DGT will see some heavy buying today.........Now what with all all these variables passing my respective tests as this is not usually a sector nor the type of company i would ever PERSONALLY touch with the proverbial bargepole . lt is not that i am risk adverse to what are true penny shares and my taking a position of 2.5 million for less than 10k as was the case with SER which should illustrate that { lncidentally l have done a lot of work on this particular stock; and would advise everyone to give them a look over....lts a stock from which i believe a lot of people will make a lot of money. Vol @ almost 100 million on both thursday and Friday of last week .Momentum took it to 1.1 mid from 0.3 mid . Recently ridded them selves of a 750 million overhang in stock. . They are so undervalued its unexplainable..Hardmns ans conservatively rated them a heavily discounted tad shy of 4p .subsequenly they jump ed from 0.3 to 1.2 before profit taking took it back to what was still a 100% GAIN ...............................................Back to DGT ......i have done a lot of work on DGT also too as did my previos employers { Out of professional interest and understanding of market perception as opposed to taking a postion} and l am far from convinced about thier case now as i was then BUT AIM has more than its fair share of dogs in the financial services sector as does the commodoties market of which i can talk with a degree of authority .Aim has become a dustbin for a plethora of mining projects -70% of which shall never achieve their business model laid out in the prospectus nor actually get around to drilling let alone producing .lt can take up to 10 years from inception to full scale production for a mining concern of any any large scale deposit . And perhaps several placings or rights issue on the way. So if assayals show at an early stage truly remarkable set of drilling results they will either be bought out or as is more than likely go bust in need of funds due to cashburn . So l assume each sector on AIM has its percentage of dogs akin to the resources sector They cannot be alone ,,,,,And to be honest the one sector which out of neccassity will HAVE to consolidate is the financial services sector itself , DGT operate in a truly "dog eat dog " cut throat environment. There is an optimum level of work and as such as i say i personally wouldnt look at them twice. There is already too much competition in a sector reknowned for rewarding itsef ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,. .But current volume allows a good trader to make money here................B./chance a'tous des vous .................,,,,,,..@+ J..

Please note personal insults or threats have no place here and will not be tolerated.

Im not into childish insults, just name the place and time and we'll have a friendly chat. Dunno what all this pistols at dawn thing is about? I hope others reading this thread can see why i might be seething to be insulted so disgracefully over a nothing comment. Mind i suppose that says a lot more about her than is does about me.

You've got your time and place on e-mail.

And I thought the sp was rising to the challenge of Kivver Paulo2.

its a friendly chat p, whats all this knife stuff??????, are you going to take me for a meal???????????? do you want me to bring my own fork??are you man or a mouse?? ill see you there, obviously without a knife or fork.

Thanks Observant - by name and nature! Prospective pe of 4.1 says it all; even 8.2 would be low.

Very good volume today; not sure whether this can be explained by positive comment plus the FC. Notwithstanding the French prospects against Spain, then Brazil if they win (sympathy!) comments are perspicacious (don't know French for that). I suspect there is some informed buying going on: so far it has brought profit takers out but I suspect there are not many loose holders with the anticipated Prelims in August.

White Westie: interested to know where you got your Level 2 Extras from?

Eric

Eric,

on ADVFN Level 2 its an additional feature, i have taken it on a months trial.

It was very interesting watching the action this morning.

Pity to see this board go the same way as ADFN's, hopefully you quality posters wont be put off adding the your valuable insights and information here.

EWR: We all have the same info, its linked from Company Zone on our site!!

Thanks, Bullshare. Interesting reading. Holdings not up-to-date, unfortunately. RIL are not mentioned. It says that up-to-date to today but last update actually late in 2005.

Any comment, Ian?

Eric

EWRobson,

I will get the techies to take a look into it, it is updated regularly, but if there are no new updates in the feed from our supplier, then obviously it will show the last applicable information. I believe that we do not have RIL, but will check.
