RE "If you own stock in a non-filing company, you can call them and ask for financial data."

It's not that easy. In order to accomodate your request, the company may demand a) that you produce physical stock certificates to certify ownership b) that you tell them in advance and in writing exactly which documents you wish to inspect and c) that you appear in person at their headquarters.

Even then, you may not have access to all the information you request. Company may have their attorney present to make it as difficult as possible to see what they don't wish you to see. In any event, you still won't know whether the documents you are viewing are the real McCoy.
