However, that looks to be all in the past, with RTI Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ:RTIX) announcing a successful inspection by the FDA of its Alachua, Fla. facility last week. According to the press releases, RTI’s warning letter never affected its production or affected patient safety, and the problems addressed by the FDA in its letter have now been fixed. Or, to put it another way, everyone can relax now and get back to business!

As for RTI Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ:RTIX), I believe it could see a nice influx of patients with the coming implementation of Obamacare expanding insurance coverage to millions of currently uninsured people, and considering that baby boomers are starting to hit retirement age. RTI is profitable, has $39.4 million in net cash, and is valued at just 10% more than its book value. To me, that sounds like a phenomenal value in the health-care sector.

Foolish roundup
This week’s theme is “steady as she goes.” Sometimes, defense is the best offense, and all three stocks represented this week offer a nice bit of security for investors. The Utilities SPDR (ETF) (NYSEARCA:XLU) provides a diverse basket of companies that delivers a necessity product with a solid yield; The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) offers unparalleled geographic and product diversity, also with an amazing near-3% yield; and RTI Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ:RTIX) gives investors a profitable and growing surgical company trading very near its book value that’ll likely benefit as our adult population ages.
