A trick I use is to create a second variable containing the label but
only at the selected points - usually the maximum.
use auto
regress price wei i.for#c.wei
predict yhat
egen maxpoint=max(yhat), by(for)
sort for yhat
g flab="US"
replace flab="Foreign" if for==1
replace flab="" if yhat!=maxpoint
scatter price yhat weight, ms(oh i) c(. L) mlab(. flab)
You can use mlabpos and xscale(range()) to allow for fit, or just use
the graph editor to tweak position.
