Lemon Capital is primarily a private equity originator. The primary investment focus is on high growth opportunities in Information Technology, Consumer, Internet/New Media, Clean Energy and Retail.

So if you need to get help in terms of investment,you can go through private equity UK and venture capital.

I think an important error people make is their overconfidence, which leads them to trading far too much and incurring high transaction costs.

value investors say that you should sell the stock when it goes too much over the book value. In paper it sounds easy enough but no one has ever sold stock because the value is too high. Ask the people that own google stock. I think the best time to sell is when the management or business structure starts destabilising

The most important part of investment is making decisions at the right time - both buying and selling at the best time. Sell too early and you may not be making the best of the situation, and sell too late the value may go down and you don't make anything.

This is too easy to say :-) Buy high, sell low, get in & out at the right time... Only if we have a crystal ball...
