Private equite business? Sounds like a return to the days of Golden Prospect.

After buying shares in GPPM I must congratulate AMBR on their timing in getting out of owning the junior miners, shame I didn't follow AMBR's lead and stay out of GPPM.

Pinemartin, The life sciences sector is similar to mining in at least one respect and that is there are a few really big Companies and lots of minnows. If AMBR are going to concentrate on raising finance for the minnows, orchestrating IPOs and buy outs then this could be a good move to diversify the banking operations. My view is that there always will be a big cash pile because it is a requirement to hold large reserves for the trading operation, rather like the high street banks have to keep a minimum cash reserve. So I don't see much chance of big increases in dividend, rather a steady rise. There should be lots of protection of the divi from the cash held, no borrowing?, and steady cash flow ie the Ambrian share price should become a lot more stable and less exciting/scary in the future. More for long term steady income rather than the occasional large capital gain. Having said that see post #116 UK Analyst put the NAV at 44pps so there could be a rerating on the cards once we get past the recession and normal market conditions return. Not much of a gamble for topping up for income and the possibility of capital gains.

I would like to see the treasurey shares cancelled - the danger is that they just get given to directors as perks etc to reward performance. Still I guess this may incentivise them. They have an option to buy back many more shares - I suppose this is as good a use of their cash pile as any and may support the share price They could always hike the dividend, however it's already quite decent.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the RNS about hiring the Lifescience team? This seems quite a way from their traditional comfort zone. Hence why they are buying in expertise. The Lifesciences sector is reasonably buoyant and maybe does not move in the same economic cycles as their core commodities business?

I've been looking at the charts (hocus pocus!) and am contemplating a final top up to bring my average price down. The 200 day EMA is trending up and hopefully there may be a recovery of sorts underway here. My concern is whether any receovery could be curtailed by possible market fluctuations?

Also as has previously been noted the staff costs are high with this share and will obviously be increasing as it expands. We also need to see what they decide to do about bonuses etc.

Wish I'd topped up at 15p! My average price is 58p and I've held for almost 3 years. Allowing for dividends i am 43% down! Am I daft to be thinking about topping up!!

Any comments welcome.
Thanks

If the company buy back shares, they take excess shares off the market and support the price, and dividends are shared out among fewer shares - and, as you say, they do pay a handsome divi. I've still got more bt with an average of over 50p.

Don't fully understand that comment...frustrating share this one. Still holding at an average of somewhere in the 50's! Had an opportunity to get out in the 90's almost three years ago now (ouch!). Only consolation is they pay a good dividened! I'm hoping that when/if things pick up this may return to favour...

If anyone has any info about this company, could you please help me with my research?

Belmont Mining Limited

I would like to know who they are or who they are backed by, because over the last year or two they have acquired some significant diamond assets.

Dwyka Resources to change its name to Nyota Minerals

Africa focused nickel and gold exploration and development junior, Dwyka Resources (AIM & ASX: DWY) is changing its name to Nyota Minerals (AIM & ASX: NYO) effective tomorrow.

The new name reflects the company's recent acquition of Minerva Resources, which brought in several precious metal projects in Ethiopia, including the Tulu Kapi Gold Project, where the Company has already relased a maiden JORC compliant inferred resource of more than a half a million ounces at a 1 gram per tonne gold cut-off grade.

Also effective tomorrow will be the company's new website address, www.nyotaminerals.com.

Nyota chief executive Melissa Sturgess said the name change was a reflection of the company entering a new chapter in its development following the acquisition of Minerva Resources.

And there are share buybacks to support the price, this is why I'm in - although surprised that the price has come down a bit in recent months, perhaps the buybacks are temporarily on hold?

Pinemartin I agree entirely with you. My average cost is 55.97p so I'm sitting on a loss too. But this seems to be a growth stock with a reasonable yield, 1.5p divi on 31.75p share price is 4.7%. Marked down by the MMs because it is classed as a bank. As world economies recover there should be more new issue activity for that side of the business and demand for commodities to expand the trading side. Plenty of cash held as well so it has good defense against any problems arising.

I know they sold a load of stuff off as per message below. My understanding si that the investments they do hold now represent a very small part of this co. It is now all about the investment banking/trading/brokerage activities. I've held these over 3 years and have an average price of 58p. Sure, I've had didvidend in that time but am still about 45% down! Boy do I wish I'd sold at that spike at 90p!!! The problem is they went through a period when they changed from being valued on the assets they held to being valued on their activities. Nobody knew what the hell was going on!

The irony is they probably represent decent value now, offer a good dividend and are far more clear in terms of biz strategy than ever before. I almost sold my small holding today to try and get into Afr. I decided against it as I do feel that at some point in the future Ambrian will start to rise again.

Thoughts anyone?
