Add BT as a preferred sourceSINGAPORE do-it-yourself (DIY) investors will have something to look forward to very soon with the imminent launch of a discount brokerage service by mainboard-listed iFAST Corporation.
The company's shares have surged to S$1.085, or 46 times earnings, defying brokers such as UOB Kay Hian which downgraded it last week after a strong rally.
