"The positive side to any correction is that it brings valuations down to earth for stocks you may have thought were out of your reach," says Genia Turanova.

The contributing editor to Stephen Leeb's The Complete Investor explains, the "Along with the energy sell-off, unregulated utilities have declined even more-to bargain levels." Here's a look at Florida-based FPL Energy (NYSE: FPL).

"FPL is one of our favorite alternative energy holdings. And with the recent selloff, its yield once again qualify the stock as a legitimate full-fledged income plays.

"And as its quarterly results indicate, the unregulated utility is relatively immune to the nation's slowdown, making them among the surest growers in the marketplace today.

"The skies over the Sunshine State have been quite dark because of the housing sector's woes and the subsequent credit crunch. As a result, the Florida-based company's adjusted earnings per share increased 'only' 8% on a year-over-year basis.

"Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) is a remarkably profitable franchise," says Stephen Leeb. In The Complete Investor, he looks at its expanding market opportunities and expanding dividend.

" Selling its soft drinks and other products to just about every nation in the world, Coke has operating margins of 26.1% and return on common equity of 30.9%. On top of this, it delivers a dividend yield of 3%, higher than the S&P 500's 2.4%.

"And since the payout ratio is only 52.6%, the company could nearly double the yield with no problem at all. While the yield isn't likely to double overnight, Coke clearly has been moving in the direction of favoring higher dividends. Over the past five years, dividends have grown by 11.4% a year.

"In times of inflation, it is particularly critical to invest in companies that can generate growth in both earnings and dividends and that can handle cost pressures with high-margin products. Coke clearly fits this bill.

"The company has been expanding its reach in noncarbonated drinks like juice, water, and sports drinks such as Powerade and Vitamin Water.

"This latter area is Coke's fastest-growing segment, chalking up 12% volume growth in 2007 vs. just 4% for the company's eponymous Coke soft drinks.

"Clearly Coke has regained its footing with successful new product offerings as well as revitalized sales growth in international markets, which provide the bulk of sales and earnings.

"Looking ahead, the company's focus on new high-growth products indicates that earnings could keep growing in double digits, with fewer fluctuations than for most other U.S. large-cap stocks. This together with the dollar's chronic weakness makes multinational Coke a solid long-term holding for conservative investors."

"When it comes to oil services, the world's most dominant company by far is Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB)," says Stephen Leeb, editor of The Complete Investor. Here, he looks at this "extraordinary" company.

"The question isn't whether inflation will worsen-it's how to protect yourself. Major and obvious lifelines we've stressed include precious metal and commodity companies, especially ones able to boost production.

"For additional inflation insurance, look to what Warren Buffett likes to call 'great companies.' These have two crucial characteristics that allow them to take inflation in stride.

"First, a great company is so dominant in its market that it can pass rising costs along to its customers. And second, it's in a market growing faster than the world's economy.

"Almost untouched by the subprime scandal and the subsequent credit fallout, Canada's banks are strong and their risk of writeoffs are consider by most analysts as minor," notes Genia Turanova and Gregory Dorsey in Leeb's Income Performance Letter.

Here, they look at two favorites in the Canadian banking sector: Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD) and Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE: RY).

"Toronto-Dominion and its subsidiaries, collectively known as TD Bank Financial Group, serve more than 14 million customers. The group offers a full range of financial products and services including wholesale banking securities, personal and business banking, wealth management and U.S. personal and commercial banking.

"TD Bank is looking to expand its US presence by acquiring New Jersey-based Commerce Bancorp. After the acquisition is completed, TD's US banking operations will double. As for the hot topic of all financials these days – its subprime exposure – Commerce Bancorp's $16 billion loan portfolio has no subprime exposure.
