We get back to Wednesday's healthcare roots with a rundown on BICO Group, a Sweden-based business that enables researchers and scientists to model, build, test, analyze and observe 3-D printed cells, tissues and organs.

Join Motley Fool Analysts Asit Sharma and Emily Flippen as they take a look at where Crocs has been and if the best is still yet to come.

Several months ago, we did an episode of Industry Focus: Financials about two stocks we planned to add to our portfolios at the time -- Bill.com (NASDAQ: BILL) and Lemonade (NYSE: LMND).

But on this week's installment of Industry Focus: Financials, Fool.com contributor Matt Frankel, CFP, tells host Jason Moser why he thinks this could be a great value investment as we head into the New Year.
