Thanks.  Someone (who wishes to remain anonymous) pointed out that CHBS 
has 93% institutional ownership (99% of the float!) and therefore 
concludes that there is little further room for the big money to move 
in.  Sounds logical to me.  Anyway I also discovered that a small-cap 
mutual fund that I invest in is the 2nd largest institutional holder of 
CHBS, so I am already getting a piece of that action.
