Today’s Business section special edition--”Ones to Watch in ‘94”--launches two weeks of in-depth reports putting 1993 in perspective and the prospects for 1994 in focus.

For today’s section, Times Business reporters combed the nation and the region--from Ventura County to the Mexican border--for the people, companies and trends that will have an impact on your money or your business in 1994.

Next Sunday, the Business section’s annual Review and Outlook will include complete, year-end stock and mutual-fund tables; score cards on the performance of a range of investments, market indexes and economic measures; prognoses for the economy and markets by Times writers and independent investment advisers and much, much more.

Finally, on Wed., Jan. 5, the Business section will publish a special report on stock mutual funds, ranking the best- and worst-performing funds of 1993 and assessing the fund outlook for 1994.
