"The silver lining to the market decline is that some of our favorite stocks have fallen into 'buy' territory," says Nilus Mattive. In his Dividend Superstars he eyes one favorite, Pfizer (NYSE: PFE).

"Pfizer is now trading well below my suggested entry price of $16. In fact, it's back at levels last seen in 1996! The major catalyst for this sharp decline was Pfizer's decision to halve its dividend.

"That came on January 27, just two months after the company said it would simply leave the payment flat this year (which was already the first failure to raise in 42 years).

"They don't get much more blue-chip than General Electric (NYSE: GE)," says Nilus Mattive. I his top-notch Dividend Superstars, he takes a look at the industrial gain which offers an indicated yield of 4.4%.

"GE is the only company that has remained in the Dow Jones Industrial Average from day one, the company was founded in 1890 by none other than Thomas Alva Edison to market his various inventions.

"GE's broad diversification is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it affords the firm plenty of protection from a major decline in any one business.

"On the other, it has led to a very complicated enterprise with inherently limited growth prospects. Yet despite the company's size, it has still managed to increase its revenues internally by about 9% a year.

"For global income investing, I ran a screen of Chinese ADRs, and my favorite from the list is Huaneng Power (NYSE: HNP), with an indicated yield of 5.3%," says Nilus Mattive, editor of Dividend Superstars.

"Tons of power is being consumed in China, and Huaneng is right there to serve it up - the company is China's largest independent power producer. All told, Huaneng owns 17 plants outright, controls another 12, and has minority interests in five power companies.

"Profits have been rolling in at a steady clip. However, investors have recently become concerned about shrinking profit margins at Chinese utilities.

"There is certainly cause for concern: Coal is the main power source for utilities' plants, and the price of the raw material has been rising because of increased demand around the world. To make matters worse, the severe winter weather that struck China in January pushed up coal prices even further and created a
whole host of other challenges for Chinese utilities.

"However, it looks to me like investors have been far too aggressive in their selling. They're now pricing Huaneng at 10.5 times next year's earnings. The stock is so oversold that it's currently yielding 5.3%.

"What about the coal situation? Well, I think supply and demand will come back in line, and I also think this politically well-connected company will be granted price hikes to compensate for its higher input costs. I recommend income investors buy at the market."
