Inside Salomon Smith Barney, analysts date the cultural shift in the research department to 1997, when parent company Travelers Group bought Salomon Brothers and married that firm with its focus on institutions and investment banking to retail-driven Smith Barney, which Travelers (now Citigroup) also owned. Suddenly, "earning money the old-fashioned way" made a far better ad campaign than corporate game plan.
