I respectfully disagree with Mr Dodig opinion about thinking a stock split would not help shareholder value for CIBC.  I think he has done a great job rebuilding and almost rebranding the new more competent company and a stock split would separate it more completely from a somewhat troubled past. The shorts still use the shrill emotionalism and scare tactics at will to keep the stock price artificially low, so I think it is time to not be the most expensive bank by share price on the TSX and let the results do the talking instead.
