Railtrack share slump reflects collapse of confidence

UK rail operator Railtrack was hit by further evidence of waning institutional investor confidence when its shares fell to a new low following ABN Amro research suggesting that the shares have been &quotvalued on hope rather than fundamentals for too long&quot.

On Monday, Financial News warned that a collapse in investor confidence has closed off its chances of raising capital in the equity markets to ease its funding crisis.
