This Saturday in Personal Finance Focus

Conventional wisdom says a 50-basis-point interest-rate hike is inevitable when the

Federal Open Market Committee

meets on Tuesday. What will that mean for your portfolio? Saturday's Personal Finance Focus will examine the angles:

Senior Writer Ian McDonald finds that bank-sector mutual funds should weather a rate hike better than people think.
Contributor Anne Kates Smith notes that Federal Reserve Week has been a good one in the past for the Nasdaq.
International Editor Andrew Morse examines the impact of rate hikes on the super-heated Japanese economy of a decade ago.

Also on Saturday, we'll have

Tracy Byrnes'

Tax Forum, an investor's-eye view of the controversial

Napster

music-sharing software, and columns from

Jim Cramer

,

Gary B. Smith

and more.

And come back on Sunday, when the guest for our weekly Streetside Chat is portfolio manager Wally Weitz.
