Agman, "Think about what you just said and the options I provided. Contrary to your opinion when losses occurred by quarter either of the two options negates his theory. Understand the position RK took is that they wanted the border to remain closed to help their profitability."

"The data you are asking for is internal. Although I do have the means to obtain such data it is not something I could or would divulge publicly. As a banker that would be the equivalent of me asking you to show me the impact of each individually named loan to your profitability. I trust you could not and would not divulge that either."

Sorry, Agman, but the data you provided tells nothing.  I don't know why you would expect us to believe it does.  Basically, what would be needed is the performance of one plant compared to the rest, not total figures.  If half of Tyson's performance came from Canada and half from the US, one could maybe draw a rough conclusion.  However, we all know that is not the case.

I disagree with your comparison to Tyson's numbers and a bank's customer's accounts.  In fact, I think you're trying to snow me. :lol:   Tyson is a public company and all information would concern only them.  I can bet you any fund manager or analyst asking for a break out would certainly get it easily.  A multi-national's exposure in a foreign country would be a legitimate concern.  How else can one estimate profits? Asking for individual account information concerns many different entities and there are specific laws against devulging such information.
