Does Your Firm Block Our Site?

by Mr Juggles

It has come to out attention that Mother Merrill Lynch (NYSE: MER) blocks our site which amazed us. That’s some serious net-nannying to block a site that lacks anything but incredible research and commentary which has been scientifically proven to generate amazing investment returns.

Do any of your firms block us? Feel free to leave a comment or email us (misterjuggles@gmail.com”) if your firm blocks us. This is just to tickle our curiousity. Anonymity will be preserved and respected as always, especially if you give us some material non-public information to Hold based on.

    For all the Merril fans: often filtering software cannot block the RSS feed. So subscribe using your favorite reader and enjoy LoS at leisure.

    random-web-blocker tip – most places that use “websense” don’t properly set it up, so that “https” (http-secure) goes unblocked. A lot of sites that have any kind of login page will accept ‘https’ connections, like gmail or kodak’s easyshare or yousendit.com, all you have to do is add an “s” right after the “http” to your favorite blocked website and voila, you can browse all day.

    example:
    http://mail.google.com/mail/ blocked,
    https://mail.google.com/mail/ not blocked

    You can also try the babelfish workaround, it’s ugly but works for a lot of sites. Just translate a page from any language to english, works just like a proxy.

    Anon-
    What industry do you work in? If that happened at my company, we’d be screwed, since a lot of what we’re looking at isn’t on Bloomberg.

    Youtube.com got blocked last week though, the head of our department was very upset.
