Excuse me but I see no reason to talk this man down. Surely there are better ways to spend our time. He is obviously sharing some popular views on divi stocks, read the discussion that follows. A person could do much worse than read his articles and comments in my view.

Right. He's sharing some popular views -- he doesn't buy into all of them himself. He can't; some of them contradict others. He says at the beginning of the article that some of the things said against dividend investing are false. And one -- the pseudo-complaint about dividend investing being "boring" is a joke on his part. He himself certainly has no "complaints" along these lines! (He states as much in the "comments" section below the article, where it may be clearer that he is joking about there being a problem with boringness ....)

It's clear his heart is actually the companion article that lists the 19 things to like about dividend investing.
