This Saturday in Personal Finance Focus

Stephen Schurr

If it seems like investing this year has been like treading water, perhaps you haven't put your money into the health care sector.

The sector, paced by outsize gains in biotechnology companies, has trounced all other industries in 2000. That has helped health care sector mutual funds post a 41% year-to-date return on average.

But they're not the only game in town as Ian McDonald shows in this Saturday's Big Screen. A number of growth funds have taken large bets on the sector, and this week's screen gives you the names.

Also coming Saturday in Personal Finance Focus:

• Mark Ingebretsen takes a look at Web sites that help you with your portfolio housekeeping in Tools of the Trade.

• Tracy Byrnes digs deeper into covered call opportunities and more in Tax Forum.

We also have Jim Cramer's mutual-fund column and much more. See you Saturday.
