The ShareLink service in which British Telecom has just bought a 64% stake from Birmingham stockbroker Albert E Sharp (CI No 880) is currently executing about 300 trades a day on behalf of a client base of 8,000, down from 400 a day prior to Meltdown Monday, but Telecom hopes to exploit its register of 1.2m shareholders with mailshots, and build the client base to over 30,000 within the next 12 months.
