Er... isn't this article completely stolen?

 * The text of this article is stolen verbatim from the old Smith Barney history page -- .This is a little crazy. I'm marking it with copyright violation.  Lauciusa (talk) 17:56, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Fine, but surely all it needs is a partial re-wording and some "according to the company's website" statements? Is the copyright violation claim really justified? Paulmallon (talk) 10:04, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Smith Barney fraud
I guess it's a consequence of copying from the firm's website, but there's no mention of the major fraud that occurred at Smith Barney (nearly $200 million in fines were paid). Mikenlesley (talk) 06:02, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Requested move
move since it is the new name of the company.--RegentsPark (sticks and stones) 10:02, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Smith Barney → Morgan Stanley Smith Barney &mdash; (no reason given) 199.125.109.58 (talk) 19:29, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The reason is simple. MSSB is the firm's new name. 99.164.13.146 (talk) 02:46, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * So I take it through acquisition? The question, though, is what is the common name that it is known by, not what the firms name is. Looking at the company website, they have split Morgan Stanley and Smith Barney, so I am guessing that it will still be known as Smith Barney. Anyone remember AMC Harley Davidson? 199.125.109.88 (talk) 03:54, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Other way around. Smith Barney was an independent firm, acquired by various means by Citigroup. They recently sold half to Morgan Stanley, who merged in their Dean Witter unit. The resulting unit is Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. 65.166.89.2 (talk) 20:13, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
