You could overlay two scatter plots. One with bubble plot and the
other with the labels. For example:
sysuse auto,clear
twoway scatter displacement mpg [aweight=price], by(fore) ///
msymbol(circle_hollow) msize(vlarge) ///
|| scatter displacement mpg, msymbol(none) mlabel(make)
Hope this helps,
Scott
