5. Dividends Still Don’t Lie: The Truth About Investing in Blue Chip Stocks and Winning in the Stock Market by Kelley Wright – A timely follow-up to the bestselling classic Dividends Don’t Lie. In 1988 Geraldine Weiss wrote the classic, “Dividends Don’t Lie“, which focused on the Dividend-Yield Theory as a method of producing consistent gains in the stock market. Today, the approach of using the dividend yield to identify values in blue chip stocks still outperforms most investment methods on a risk-adjusted basis. Written by Kelley Wright, Managing Editor of Investment Quality Trends, with a new Foreword by Geraldine Weiss, “Dividends Still Don’t Lie” teaches a value-based strategy to investing, one that uses a stock’s dividend yield as the primary measure of value. Rather than emphasize the price cycles of a stock, the company’s products, market strategy or other factors, this guide stresses dividend-yield patterns.

7. Dividends Don’t Lie: Finding Value in Blue-Chip Stocks by Geraldine Weiss – Investment-newsletter publisher Weiss and business journalist Lowe suggest that wealth is an all-but-sure result of investing according to recurring stock market cycles. In their technically detailed, conservative analysis, the authors recommend careful study of high grade issues with steady dividend-increase records. Investors should buy shares when the stock is undervalued in relation to dividend yield, then sell (reinvesting elsewhere) when a bullish trend drives the share price up to an overvalue level.

8. The Strategic Dividend Investor by Daniel Peris – The Strategic Dividend Investor shows you why, over the long run, investing in companies with high and rising distributions is far superior to “playing the market.” Responsible for $4.5 billion in dividend-anchored portfolios, Daniel Peris demonstrates that, for most investors, buying a stock in the hope of making a quick buck by selling it in a few weeks or months is far from the best way to create wealth. Instead, you should use the stock market as a means of receiving a share of excess profits—dividends—from corporations in which you own stock. Over time, those payments—and the growth of those payments—represent the vast majority of stock market returns.

9. The Dividend Growth Investment Strategy: How to Keep Your Retirement Income Doubling Every Five Years by Klugman Roxann – Over half of all Americans have money in the stock market, most of it in mutual funds. But most mutual funds underperform the stock market, and they are taxed. The taxes and fees destroy compounding of investments and diminish the retirement nest egg. Anne Scheiber’s method, the Dividend Growth Investment Strategy (DGIS), beats the mutual fund in returns fivefold after thirty years, though both approaches achieve 14 percent annual growth. The Dividend Growth Investment Strategy examines and compares the various investment strategies of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds and shows in hard figures why DGIS is the better investment strategy. The DGIS maximizes growth of the nest egg while producing income that doubles every five years. It also minimizes anxiety over market downturns and inflation because investors can ride the market “roller coaster” by keeping their capital growing, while riding the stock market “escalator” through dividend growth returns, all the while avoiding taxes on their dividends.
10. Income Investing Secrets: How to Receive Ever-Growing Dividend and Interest Checks, Safeguard Your Portfolio and Retire Wealthy by Richard Stooker – Learn how to make money whether the stock market goes up, down or sideways. Discover how to avoid the financial pitfalls and emotional stress of depending upon the stock market to deliver market price appreciation to you — capital gains. They come — sometimes, but they also disappear. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is now about at the high it first broke ten years ago. The buy and hold strategy requires a lot of patience these days. Income Investing Secrets advocates rewarding yourself right away with regular income from stock dividends and bond interest. It shows you the best, most dependable types of income-producing investments — and how to minimize risk.

Good list, the #1 was one I have read some time ago, thanks to one Dividend Ninja post on his blog.
I would also recommend to add Security Analysis and the one I reading actually: Margin of Safety, which I find is a complement of SA.
I read almost all of the listed books. The SBI is far the best book I ever read on dividend growth investing. I am now reading the Ultimate playbook, so I can’t judge it yet. It is not bad so far. I learned a lot of new stuff. So let’s see later.
Hank- this is a fantastic list. I work at a financial publishing company, Wyatt Investment Research, and will pass this on to our editorial team! They spend a lot of time covering dividend stocks. Thanks!
